1 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
3 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
6 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
8 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
9 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
10 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
11 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
13 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
15 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
16 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
17 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
18 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
19 where configure's autodetection fails.
21 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
23 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
24 configure script change.
26 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
28 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
29 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
30 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
33 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
35 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
36 the context is only read once.
38 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
40 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
41 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
43 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
45 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
46 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
48 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
49 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
52 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
53 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
56 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
58 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
59 vi isn't found during build.
61 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
63 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
64 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
66 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
67 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
68 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
70 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
72 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
73 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
75 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
76 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
77 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
78 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
81 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
82 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
83 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
85 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
86 entry in the context file.
88 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
90 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
91 problems on some systems
93 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
94 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
96 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
98 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
99 sendmail isn't found during build.
101 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
103 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
105 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
107 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
108 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
110 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
111 references to the web page and mailing list locations
113 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
114 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
116 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
119 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
121 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
122 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
123 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
125 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
126 was configured with --enable-apop.
128 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
129 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
130 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
132 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
133 new versions of flex.
135 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
136 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
137 doesn't guess wrongly.
139 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
141 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
142 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
144 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
145 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
147 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
148 files with numbers as names
150 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
152 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
154 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
156 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
158 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
159 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
161 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
163 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
166 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
167 test/report error writing to stdout
169 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
171 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
173 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
174 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
175 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
177 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
178 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
179 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
181 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
183 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
184 character set used by the current locale
186 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
187 message's filename overflows an int when converted
189 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
190 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
192 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
194 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
197 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
199 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
200 from Michael Richardson.
202 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
203 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
205 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
207 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
208 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
210 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
212 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
213 find sub-parts of the specified part
215 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
217 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
218 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
219 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
220 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
221 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
222 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
223 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
226 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
228 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
229 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
230 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
233 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
234 refiling with -src option.
236 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
238 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
240 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
242 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
243 mailpath being overwritten.
245 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
247 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
248 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
249 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
250 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
251 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
252 reinitializes the tmp file string.
254 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
255 if a format string was read from the profile.
257 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
258 path for the external hook.
260 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
262 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
263 another location for ndbm.
265 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
267 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
269 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
271 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
274 136976 - Handle binary content messages
275 143427 - mh-format.man typo
276 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
277 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
278 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
279 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
280 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
281 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
282 181867 - typo for nmh.man
284 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
286 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
287 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
288 contitional code which will result in cached data to
289 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
290 and parse on the first use.
291 * Remove some unused flag bits.
293 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
295 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
296 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
298 #578 - repl leaks umask
299 #1393 - sortm core dumps
300 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
301 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
302 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
304 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
305 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
307 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
309 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
310 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
312 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
314 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
315 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
316 to docs/README.about.
318 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
320 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
322 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
323 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
324 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
325 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
328 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
330 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
331 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
332 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
333 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
334 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
335 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
338 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
339 summary configure prints out.
341 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
342 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
343 subjectively more readable) format.
345 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
347 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
350 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
352 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
353 19xx when it's not necessary.
355 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
357 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
358 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
361 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
362 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
363 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
364 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
365 the man pages correctly.
367 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
369 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
371 * Finished manpages ali-prev
373 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
374 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
375 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
378 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
379 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
380 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
381 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
383 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
385 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
386 the formatting rules I've been using.
390 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
392 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
393 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
394 used in the manpages.
396 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
397 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
398 read in the contents of the file as the variable
401 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
402 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
403 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
404 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
405 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
406 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
407 bold flags and italicized parameters.
409 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
411 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
412 --with-locking option.
414 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
415 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
416 information was not being communicated to the
417 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
418 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
419 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
420 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
421 undefined symbols problems.
423 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
424 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
425 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
426 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
427 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
428 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
429 for a genuine krb4 installation.
431 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
433 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
434 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
436 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
438 * Made a new ./configure option called
439 "--with-locking" that allows the file
440 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
441 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
443 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
444 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
445 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
446 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
447 the user that these are the valid options, and
448 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
451 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
453 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
454 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
455 committed to supporting flex only, since
456 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
457 string, as well as other problems documented
458 below and on nmh-workers.
460 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
461 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
462 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
465 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
466 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
468 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
470 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
471 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
472 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
474 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
476 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
477 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
479 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
481 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
482 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
483 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
484 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
485 couldn't correctly identify them.
487 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
489 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
490 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
491 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
492 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
493 not depending on an external archive.
495 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
496 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
497 mts/generic is no longer built.
499 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
501 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
502 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
503 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
504 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
505 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
506 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
507 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
508 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
510 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
512 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
513 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
516 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
518 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
519 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
520 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
523 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
524 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
525 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
526 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
528 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
529 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
530 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
531 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
532 merged into the smtp code).
534 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
535 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
536 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
539 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
540 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
541 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
542 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
543 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
544 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
545 in the appropriate Makefile.in
547 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
549 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
550 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
551 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
552 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
553 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
554 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
555 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
556 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
557 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
558 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
559 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
561 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
563 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
564 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
565 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
566 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
567 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
568 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
569 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
570 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
571 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
573 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
575 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
576 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
579 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
581 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
582 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
584 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
586 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
587 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
588 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
589 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
591 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
593 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
594 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
595 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
596 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
597 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
599 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
600 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
602 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
604 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
606 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
607 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
608 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
609 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
611 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
612 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
613 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
614 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
616 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
617 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
618 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
619 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
621 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
622 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
623 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
625 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
627 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
628 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
629 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
630 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
631 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
632 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
635 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
636 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
638 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
639 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
641 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
643 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
645 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
647 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
648 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
649 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
650 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
652 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
654 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
655 be easily changed from "," to "#".
657 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
659 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
661 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
662 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
665 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
667 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
668 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
669 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
670 but not for the subsequent data stream.
672 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
674 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
675 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
676 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
677 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
678 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
680 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
682 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
683 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
685 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
686 cat, also define lorder as echo.
688 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
690 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
692 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
693 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
694 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
696 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
698 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
701 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
702 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
704 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
706 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
707 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
709 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
711 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
712 inc does not need to be setgid.
714 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
716 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
717 library, as found on Debian systems.
719 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
721 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
723 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
724 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
725 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
726 case-insensitivity flag.
728 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
730 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
731 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
733 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
735 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
736 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
737 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
738 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
739 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
740 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
741 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
742 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
743 getting moved aside).
745 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
746 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
748 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
750 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
751 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
752 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
753 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
754 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
755 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
756 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
757 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
758 the prototype, but never sets it.
760 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
761 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
762 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
763 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
764 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
765 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
767 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
768 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
769 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
770 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
771 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
773 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
775 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
776 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
779 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
780 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
781 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
782 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
783 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
784 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
785 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
787 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
789 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
791 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
792 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
793 this works on other systems.
795 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
797 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
798 checks for write failures.
800 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
802 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
804 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
807 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
809 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
811 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
813 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
814 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
817 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
819 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
820 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
821 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
822 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
824 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
826 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
827 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
830 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
831 as well as Makefiles.
833 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
835 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
836 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
837 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
838 should make maintainability easier.
840 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
841 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
842 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
843 whatever you know works.
845 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
847 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
848 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
849 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
851 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
852 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
853 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
854 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
856 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
857 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
858 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
860 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
861 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
862 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
863 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
864 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
866 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
867 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
868 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
869 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
870 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
871 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
872 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
873 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
874 from the BSD version.
876 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
877 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
878 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
880 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
883 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
886 This happens on solaris:
889 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
890 No manual entry for mts.conf.
894 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
896 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
897 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
899 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
901 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
902 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
903 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
904 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
905 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
906 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
907 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
908 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
909 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
910 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
911 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
913 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
914 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
915 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
916 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
917 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
918 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
921 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
922 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
923 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
924 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
925 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
927 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
928 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
930 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
932 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
933 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
934 to stdin, such as exmh.
936 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
937 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
938 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
941 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
943 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
944 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
945 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
946 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
947 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
948 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
949 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
951 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
953 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
954 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
956 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
958 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
959 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
961 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
963 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
966 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
967 along with any -host or -user option.
969 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
971 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
973 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
974 process was fresh in my mind.
976 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
978 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
979 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
981 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
983 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
985 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
988 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
989 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
990 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
991 part of the program's name.
993 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
994 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
997 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
999 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1000 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1001 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1002 single-character format would cause programs using this
1003 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1004 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1005 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1006 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1009 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1011 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1012 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1013 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1014 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1015 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1016 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1018 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1019 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1020 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1021 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1022 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1023 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1024 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1025 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1027 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1028 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1029 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1030 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1031 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1032 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1033 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1034 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1035 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1036 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1038 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1040 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1041 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1043 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1044 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1046 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1051 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1053 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1054 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1055 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1056 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1058 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1059 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1060 problem in the routine.
1062 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1064 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1065 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1067 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1068 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1069 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1072 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1074 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1075 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1076 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1077 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1078 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1079 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1080 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1081 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1082 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1083 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1085 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1087 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1088 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1089 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1090 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1091 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1092 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1093 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1094 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1095 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1096 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1097 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1098 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1100 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1101 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1102 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1103 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1104 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1106 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1109 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1111 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1112 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1113 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1114 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1117 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1119 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1121 * Applied, after some finessing,
1122 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1124 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1126 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1128 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1129 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1130 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1131 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1133 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1135 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1136 forgetting to do so!).
1138 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1139 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1140 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1141 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1142 arguments to enable all three types.
1144 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1145 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1147 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1148 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1149 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1150 updated copy of mts.conf.
1152 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1154 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1155 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1156 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1158 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1160 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1162 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1163 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1164 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1166 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1167 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1168 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1170 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1171 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1172 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1174 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1176 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1178 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1180 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1182 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1183 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1185 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1186 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1187 certain suffix to run properly.
1189 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1190 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1191 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1193 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1194 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1195 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1196 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1197 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1198 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1199 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1201 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1203 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1204 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1205 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1206 until some year far in the future).
1208 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1210 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1212 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1213 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1215 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1216 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1219 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1221 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1222 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1223 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1224 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1225 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1226 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1228 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1230 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1232 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1233 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1234 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1236 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1237 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1238 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1239 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1240 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1241 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1244 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1245 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1246 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1247 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1248 of masquerading individually.
1250 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1251 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1252 GECOS field delimiters.
1254 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1256 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1257 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1258 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1259 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1260 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1261 and explaining the feature.
1263 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1265 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1266 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1269 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1270 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1271 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1273 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1274 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1275 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1276 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1278 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1279 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1280 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1283 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1285 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1286 code to be executed.
1288 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1290 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1292 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1293 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1294 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1295 quotes embedded in them.
1297 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1299 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1300 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1301 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1302 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1303 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1304 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1305 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1308 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1309 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1310 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1311 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1312 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1314 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1316 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1318 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1319 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1320 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1321 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1323 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1326 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1328 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1330 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1332 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1333 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1334 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1336 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1339 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1341 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1342 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1343 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1344 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1345 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1346 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1348 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1349 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1351 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1353 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1356 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1358 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1359 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1360 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1363 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1364 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1365 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1366 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1367 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1368 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1369 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1370 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1371 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1372 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1373 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1374 processing that post has).
1376 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1378 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1379 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1380 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1381 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1382 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1383 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1386 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1388 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1390 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1392 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1394 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1395 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1397 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1400 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1402 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1403 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1404 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1407 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1409 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1410 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1411 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1412 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1413 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1414 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1416 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1418 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1420 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1422 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1423 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1424 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1425 caught again. This works for now.
1427 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1429 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1431 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1432 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1434 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1436 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1437 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1439 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1441 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1443 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1445 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1446 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1448 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1450 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1451 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1452 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1453 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1454 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1457 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1459 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1460 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1461 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1463 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1464 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1467 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1469 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1470 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1471 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1473 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1475 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1476 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1478 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1480 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1483 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1484 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1486 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1487 macros, regardless of platform.
1489 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1490 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1492 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1493 with x-conversions=gzip.
1495 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1497 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1500 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1501 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1502 implicit definition of ioctl().
1504 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1505 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1506 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1507 want to mess with them.
1509 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1511 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1512 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1514 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1515 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1517 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1518 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1519 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1521 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1522 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1523 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1525 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1526 function initgroups.
1528 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1531 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1532 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1535 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1536 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1539 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1540 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1544 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1546 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1547 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1548 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1550 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1551 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1553 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1555 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1557 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1558 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1559 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1560 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1562 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1563 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1565 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1567 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1569 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1571 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1572 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1574 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1576 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1577 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1579 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1580 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1581 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1582 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1584 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1585 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1587 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1589 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1590 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1592 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1594 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1595 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1598 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1600 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1602 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1604 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1605 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1607 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1608 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1609 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1611 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1612 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1613 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1615 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1616 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1617 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1619 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1620 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1623 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1624 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1626 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1627 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1629 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1630 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1632 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1633 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1634 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1636 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1637 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1639 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1640 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1641 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1643 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1644 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1647 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1648 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1650 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1651 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1652 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1653 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1655 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1656 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1658 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1662 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1663 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1664 would not be changed.
1666 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1667 one from the Apache web server.
1669 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1670 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1672 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1673 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1674 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1676 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1678 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1680 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1681 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1684 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1685 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1686 removes a bad race condition.
1688 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1691 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1692 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1693 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1695 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1696 sequence information.
1698 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1699 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1701 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1704 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1707 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1709 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1710 interpret 034 as octal.
1712 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1714 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1715 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1717 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1718 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1720 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1721 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1723 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1724 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1726 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1727 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1729 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1730 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1731 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1733 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1734 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1735 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1737 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1739 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1741 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1742 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1745 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1747 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1748 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1750 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1751 header field information.
1753 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1754 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1756 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1757 values when parsing a content.
1759 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1760 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1762 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1763 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1765 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1766 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1768 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1769 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1771 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1773 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1775 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1777 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1779 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1780 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1783 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1784 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1786 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1787 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1788 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1789 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1790 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1791 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1794 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1796 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1797 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1798 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1800 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1801 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1803 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1805 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1806 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1807 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1808 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1810 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1811 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1814 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1815 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1816 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1817 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1820 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1822 * Released nmh-0.27.
1824 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1825 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1827 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1828 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1829 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1830 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1833 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1834 mhbuild returns an error.
1836 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1837 rename the draft file.
1839 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1840 use a global variable.
1842 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1843 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1845 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1846 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1848 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1849 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1850 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1852 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1853 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1855 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1856 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1859 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1860 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1863 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1864 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1866 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1867 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1868 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1870 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1871 to new function output_content_folder.
1873 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1874 new function output_content_file.
1876 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1877 to new function parse_format_string.
1879 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1880 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1881 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1882 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1884 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1885 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1886 message/external file from ftp.
1888 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1889 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1890 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1892 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1893 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1896 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1899 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1900 new file mhstoresbr.c
1902 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1905 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1906 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1908 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1909 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1911 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1912 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1913 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1915 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1917 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1919 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1920 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1923 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1924 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1926 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1929 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1931 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1933 * Released nmh-0.26.
1935 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1936 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1937 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1938 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1940 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1941 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1942 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1943 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1944 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1946 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1947 But it is not on by default.
1949 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1950 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1952 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1954 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1956 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1958 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1960 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1961 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1963 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1965 * Released nmh-0.25.
1967 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1968 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1969 uses the original name of the library.
1971 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1972 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1975 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1976 list_content and list_debug.
1978 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1980 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1981 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1983 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1985 * Released nmh-0.24.
1987 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1989 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1990 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1992 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1993 large sequence line.
1995 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1997 * Released nmh-0.23.
1999 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2001 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2002 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2003 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2004 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2006 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2007 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2010 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2012 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2014 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2016 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2017 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2019 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2020 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2022 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2023 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2025 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2026 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2028 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2030 * Released nmh-0.22.
2032 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2033 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2035 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2037 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2038 mh-profile(5) man page.
2040 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2041 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2043 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2045 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2047 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2048 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2050 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2052 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2053 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2054 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2056 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2057 source message on the standard input.
2059 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2061 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2062 rather than -rfc934mode.
2064 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2065 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2068 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2069 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2071 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2074 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2076 * Released nmh-0.21.
2078 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2079 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2081 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2084 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2085 to use for text contents.
2087 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2089 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2091 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2093 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2095 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2096 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2098 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2099 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2100 spaces between encoded word are.
2102 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2104 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2105 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2107 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2108 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2109 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2111 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2113 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2114 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2116 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2118 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2120 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2121 ISO-8859-X character set.
2123 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2126 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2127 permissions, not write permissions.
2129 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2130 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2132 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2135 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2137 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2139 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2140 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2142 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2143 message contains valid character set.
2145 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2146 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2148 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2149 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2151 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2152 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2153 between an encoded word and normal text.
2155 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2156 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2158 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2159 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2161 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2164 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2165 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2168 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2169 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2171 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2172 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2174 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2176 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2178 * Released nmh-0.20.
2180 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2182 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2184 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2185 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2186 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2188 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2189 and the To: line was missing.
2191 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2193 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2195 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2197 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2198 watch the POP transaction.
2200 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2201 first, and use it if available.
2203 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2204 first, and use it if available.
2206 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2208 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2210 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2211 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2212 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2215 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2216 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2217 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2219 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2220 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2223 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2225 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2226 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2228 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2230 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2231 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2233 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2234 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2235 message to which you are replying.
2237 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2238 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2239 making group replies.
2241 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2243 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2245 * Released nmh-0.19.
2247 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2248 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2250 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2251 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2252 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2253 to the end of the man page.
2255 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2256 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2257 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2258 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2259 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2260 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2262 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2265 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2266 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2267 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2269 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2270 the next available number above the message number you wish
2273 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2274 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2276 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2277 file sbr/seq_print.c
2279 * flist will now update the current folder.
2281 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2282 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2283 but now undocumented.
2285 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2288 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2289 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2291 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2293 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2294 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2296 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2298 * Released nmh-0.18.
2300 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2301 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2302 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2304 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2305 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2307 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2308 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2309 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2310 previous public/private status.
2312 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2315 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2318 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2319 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2320 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2322 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2323 take option to determine whether it should get current
2324 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2325 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2327 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2329 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2330 wait for stopped processes.
2332 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2333 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2335 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2337 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2339 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2340 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2342 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2343 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2345 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2346 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2347 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2348 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2350 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2353 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2356 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2358 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2359 the debugging output.
2361 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2362 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2364 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2366 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2368 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2369 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2371 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2373 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2374 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2375 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2376 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2377 in the given sequence.
2379 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2380 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2381 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2382 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2383 subdirectories of a given directory.
2385 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2386 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2387 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2389 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2390 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2392 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2394 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2397 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2398 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2399 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2401 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2402 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2403 are calculated at runtime.
2405 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2407 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2409 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2410 about checking for global mh.profile.
2412 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2413 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2414 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2415 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2416 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2417 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2419 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2420 adding message to folder itself.
2422 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2423 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2424 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2427 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2428 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2431 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2432 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2433 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2435 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2436 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2438 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2439 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2440 code to use it yet).
2442 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2444 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2446 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2447 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2449 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2450 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2452 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2454 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2457 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2459 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2461 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2463 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2465 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2466 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2468 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2470 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2472 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2474 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2476 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2478 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2479 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2481 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2482 configuration files.
2484 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2486 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2488 * Released nmh-0.17.
2490 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2492 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2493 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2495 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2498 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2499 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2501 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2502 number of refiled message.
2504 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2506 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2507 for return value of wait().
2509 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2511 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2513 * Released nmh-0.16.
2515 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2517 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2519 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2520 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2521 deal with binary messages, yet).
2523 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2525 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2527 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2528 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2529 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2530 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2531 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2532 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2534 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2535 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2537 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2538 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2540 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2541 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2544 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2546 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2548 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2549 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2552 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2555 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2557 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2558 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2559 which used unsigned chars by default.
2561 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2563 * Released nmh-0.15.
2565 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2566 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
2568 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2570 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2572 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2575 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2576 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2577 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2579 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2580 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2582 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2584 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2585 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2587 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2588 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2589 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2590 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2592 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2593 and put in own subroutine.
2595 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2596 and put in own subroutine.
2598 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2599 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2600 refile.c to use new routine.
2602 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2604 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2606 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2609 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2610 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2611 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2613 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2616 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2617 adding message to sequence.
2619 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2620 corresponding file in sbr.
2622 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2625 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2627 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2628 all selected messages from a sequence.
2630 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2631 selected messages to a sequence.
2633 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2636 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2638 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2639 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2641 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2643 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file
2644 sbr/m_gmsg.c to sbr/m_readfolder.c.
2646 Mon May 5 19:57:11 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2648 * Expanded rcvtty man page, and added small patch from
2649 MH-6.8.4 distribution.
2651 Fri May 2 15:24:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2653 * Released nmh-0.14.
2655 * Comment out configure test and code for tgetent to allocate its
2656 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
2658 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2660 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2661 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2662 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2663 environment variable.
2665 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2666 draft folder facility in nmh.
2668 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
2671 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed
2672 fmtcompile.c to fmt_compile.c, and formataddr.c to
2675 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
2678 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2680 * Released nmh-0.13.
2682 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2683 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2684 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2685 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2688 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2689 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2691 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2693 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2694 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2696 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2698 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2699 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.
2701 Mon Apr 21 02:19:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2703 * Released nmh-0.12.
2705 * Had set_exists and unset_exists macros backwards.
2707 * Released nmh-0.11.
2709 Thu Apr 10 02:39:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2711 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
2712 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
2714 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2715 mp->attrstats with macros.
2717 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2720 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2723 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2724 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2726 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2727 will suppress the display of the message header.
2729 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2731 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2732 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2734 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2736 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2738 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2740 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2741 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2743 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2744 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2746 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2748 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2750 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2751 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2753 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2754 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2756 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2758 * Released nmh-0.10.
2760 Sun Mar 30 21:46:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2762 * Add configure check for <locale.h>. Turn on LOCALE support
2765 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2767 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2768 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2770 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2771 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2773 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2774 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2776 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2778 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2779 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2781 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2783 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
2784 of missing tabs in regex.
2786 Sat Mar 8 01:58:22 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2788 * Released nmh-0.09.
2790 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
2792 * Add configure check for killpg.
2794 * msh.c: include <termios.h> instead of <termio.h> and
2797 * prompter.c: don't include <sys/ioctl.h> anymore.
2799 Thu Mar 6 04:03:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2801 * Added `-mime' and `-nomime' options to `repl'.
2804 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2806 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2808 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2809 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2811 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2813 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2814 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2816 * Released nmh-0.08.
2818 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2819 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2820 locking database itself.
2822 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2824 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2826 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2827 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2830 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2831 rather than mmdf format.
2833 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2834 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2835 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2836 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2838 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2840 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2842 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2845 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2846 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2847 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2849 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2850 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2851 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2853 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2855 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2856 can still easily change this in config.h).
2858 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2859 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2860 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2862 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2864 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2865 than tzset and external timezone variable.
2867 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2869 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.
2871 * When ruserpass was added to LIBOBJS, it was missing
2874 * Released nmh-0.07.
2876 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2878 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2879 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2881 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2882 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2885 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2886 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2888 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2889 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2891 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2893 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2895 * Added configure check for tzset.
2897 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2899 * Released nmh-0.06.
2901 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2902 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2904 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2905 many such machines around anymore.
2907 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2908 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2910 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2911 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2913 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2915 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2916 pre-generated version if necessary.
2918 * Released nmh-0.05.
2920 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2921 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2922 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2923 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2925 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2926 be linked in one pass.
2928 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2930 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2931 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2933 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2935 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2937 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2939 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2940 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2941 become the current folder.
2943 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2945 * Released nmh-0.04.
2947 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2950 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2952 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2953 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2954 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2956 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2958 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2959 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2961 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2963 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2964 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2967 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2968 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2970 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2972 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2973 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2974 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2975 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2976 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2977 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2979 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2981 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2982 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2984 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2985 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2987 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2989 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2990 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2992 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2994 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2995 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2996 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2998 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3000 * Released nmh-0.03.
3002 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3003 .mh_sequence file existed.
3005 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3006 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3008 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3009 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3012 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3014 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3017 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3019 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3020 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3021 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3023 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3025 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3026 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3027 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3029 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3031 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3032 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3034 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3036 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3038 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3039 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3040 directory from where the source code is located.
3042 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3044 * Released nmh-0.02.
3046 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3048 * Split mhook man page into man pages for rcvdist, rcvpack,
3051 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3053 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3054 and sys_nerr directly.
3056 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3058 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3060 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3062 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3064 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3065 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3066 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3067 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3068 rather than in script.
3070 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3072 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3074 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3075 macro defined on Solaris.
3077 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3079 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3080 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3082 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3083 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3084 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3085 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3088 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3090 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3091 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3093 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3096 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3098 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3100 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3101 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3103 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3105 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3106 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3108 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3110 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3111 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3112 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3113 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3114 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3115 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3117 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3119 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3121 * Released nmh-0.01.
3123 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3124 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3125 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3128 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3130 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3133 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3135 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3136 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3138 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3140 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3141 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3142 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3143 script to find_program.
3145 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3147 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3148 speed up -recurse option.
3150 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3151 yet, but it compiles :-)
3153 * Changed default location for install to
3154 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3155 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3156 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3159 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3160 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3161 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
