2 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
4 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
6 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
9 136976 - Handle binary content messages
10 143427 - mh-format.man typo
11 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
12 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
13 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
14 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
15 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
16 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
17 181867 - typo for nmh.man
19 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
21 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
22 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
23 contitional code which will result in cached data to
24 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
25 and parse on the first use.
26 * Remove some unused flag bits.
28 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
30 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
31 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
33 #578 - repl leaks umask
34 #1393 - sortm core dumps
35 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
36 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
37 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
39 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
40 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
42 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
44 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
45 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
47 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
49 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
50 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
53 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
55 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
57 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
58 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
59 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
60 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
63 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
65 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
66 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
67 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
68 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
69 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
70 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
73 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
74 summary configure prints out.
76 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
77 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
78 subjectively more readable) format.
80 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
82 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
85 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
87 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
88 19xx when it's not necessary.
90 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
92 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
93 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
96 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
97 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
98 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
99 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
100 the man pages correctly.
102 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
104 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
106 * Finished manpages ali-prev
108 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
109 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
110 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
113 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
114 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
115 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
116 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
118 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
120 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
121 the formatting rules I've been using.
125 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
127 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
128 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
129 used in the manpages.
131 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
132 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
133 read in the contents of the file as the variable
136 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
137 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
138 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
139 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
140 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
141 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
142 bold flags and italicized parameters.
144 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
146 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
147 --with-locking option.
149 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
150 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
151 information was not being communicated to the
152 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
153 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
154 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
155 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
156 undefined symbols problems.
158 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
159 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
160 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
161 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
162 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
163 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
164 for a genuine krb4 installation.
166 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
168 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
169 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
171 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
173 * Made a new ./configure option called
174 "--with-locking" that allows the file
175 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
176 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
178 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
179 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
180 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
181 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
182 the user that these are the valid options, and
183 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
186 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
188 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
189 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
190 committed to supporting flex only, since
191 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
192 string, as well as other problems documented
193 below and on nmh-workers.
195 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
196 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
197 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
200 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
201 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
203 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
205 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
206 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
207 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
209 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
211 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
212 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
214 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
216 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
217 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
218 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
219 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
220 couldn't correctly identify them.
222 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
224 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
225 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
226 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
227 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
228 not depending on an external archive.
230 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
231 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
232 mts/generic is no longer built.
234 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
236 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
237 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
238 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
239 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
240 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
241 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
242 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
243 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
245 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
247 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
248 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
251 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
253 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
254 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
255 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
258 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
259 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
260 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
261 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
263 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
264 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
265 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
266 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
267 merged into the smtp code).
269 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
270 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
271 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
274 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
275 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
276 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
277 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
278 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
279 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
280 in the appropriate Makefile.in
282 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
284 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
285 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
286 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
287 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
288 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
289 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
290 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
291 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
292 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
293 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
294 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
296 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
298 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
299 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
300 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
301 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
302 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
303 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
304 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
305 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
306 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
308 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
310 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
311 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
314 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
316 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
317 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
319 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
321 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
322 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
323 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
324 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
326 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
328 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
329 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
330 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
331 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
332 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
334 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
335 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
337 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
339 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
341 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
342 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
343 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
344 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
346 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
347 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
348 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
349 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
351 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
352 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
353 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
354 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
356 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
357 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
358 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
360 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
362 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
363 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
364 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
365 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
366 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
367 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
370 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
371 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
373 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
374 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
376 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
378 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
380 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
382 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
383 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
384 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
385 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
387 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
389 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
390 be easily changed from "," to "#".
392 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
394 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
396 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
397 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
400 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
402 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
403 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
404 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
405 but not for the subsequent data stream.
407 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
409 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
410 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
411 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
412 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
413 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
415 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
417 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
418 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
420 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
421 cat, also define lorder as echo.
423 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
425 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
427 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
428 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
429 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
431 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
433 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
436 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
437 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
439 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
441 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
442 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
444 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
446 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
447 inc does not need to be setgid.
449 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
451 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
452 library, as found on Debian systems.
454 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
456 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
458 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
459 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
460 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
461 case-insensitivity flag.
463 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
465 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
466 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
468 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
470 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
471 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
472 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
473 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
474 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
475 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
476 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
477 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
478 getting moved aside).
480 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
481 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
483 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
485 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
486 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
487 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
488 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
489 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
490 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
491 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
492 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
493 the prototype, but never sets it.
495 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
496 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
497 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
498 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
499 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
500 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
502 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
503 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
504 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
505 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
506 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
508 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
510 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
511 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
514 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
515 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
516 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
517 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
518 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
519 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
520 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
522 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
524 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
526 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
527 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
528 this works on other systems.
530 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
532 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
533 checks for write failures.
535 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
537 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
539 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
542 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
544 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
546 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
548 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
549 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
552 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
554 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
555 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
556 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
557 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
559 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
561 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
562 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
565 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
566 as well as Makefiles.
568 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
570 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
571 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
572 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
573 should make maintainability easier.
575 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
576 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
577 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
578 whatever you know works.
580 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
582 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
583 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
584 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
586 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
587 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
588 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
589 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
591 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
592 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
593 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
595 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
596 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
597 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
598 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
599 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
601 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
602 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
603 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
604 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
605 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
606 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
607 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
608 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
609 from the BSD version.
611 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
612 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
613 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
615 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
618 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
621 This happens on solaris:
624 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
625 No manual entry for mts.conf.
629 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
631 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
632 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
634 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
636 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
637 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
638 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
639 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
640 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
641 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
642 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
643 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
644 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
645 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
646 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
648 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
649 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
650 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
651 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
652 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
653 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
656 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
657 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
658 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
659 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
660 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
662 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
663 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
665 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
667 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
668 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
669 to stdin, such as exmh.
671 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
672 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
673 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
676 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
678 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
679 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
680 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
681 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
682 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
683 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
684 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
686 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
688 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
689 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
691 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
693 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
694 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
696 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
698 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
701 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
702 along with any -host or -user option.
704 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
706 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
708 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
709 process was fresh in my mind.
711 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
713 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
714 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
716 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
718 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
720 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
723 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
724 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
725 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
726 part of the program's name.
728 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
729 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
732 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
734 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
735 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
736 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
737 single-character format would cause programs using this
738 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
739 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
740 when the format string was one character. This eventually
741 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
744 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
746 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
747 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
748 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
749 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
750 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
751 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
753 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
754 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
755 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
756 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
757 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
758 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
759 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
760 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
762 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
763 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
764 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
765 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
766 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
767 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
768 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
769 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
770 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
771 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
773 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
775 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
776 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
778 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
779 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
781 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
786 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
788 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
789 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
790 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
791 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
793 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
794 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
795 problem in the routine.
797 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
799 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
800 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
802 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
803 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
804 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
807 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
809 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
810 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
811 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
812 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
813 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
814 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
815 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
816 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
817 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
818 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
820 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
822 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
823 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
824 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
825 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
826 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
827 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
828 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
829 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
830 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
831 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
832 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
833 interesting than a duplication of the default.
835 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
836 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
837 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
838 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
839 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
841 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
844 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
846 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
847 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
848 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
849 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
852 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
854 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
856 * Applied, after some finessing,
857 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
859 Here's a patch that allows you to add
861 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
863 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
864 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
865 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
866 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
868 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
870 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
871 forgetting to do so!).
873 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
874 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
875 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
876 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
877 arguments to enable all three types.
879 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
880 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
882 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
883 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
884 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
885 updated copy of mts.conf.
887 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
889 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
890 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
891 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
893 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
895 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
897 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
898 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
899 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
901 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
902 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
903 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
905 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
906 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
907 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
909 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
911 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
913 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
915 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
917 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
918 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
920 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
921 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
922 certain suffix to run properly.
924 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
925 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
926 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
928 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
929 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
930 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
931 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
932 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
933 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
934 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
936 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
938 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
939 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
940 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
941 until some year far in the future).
943 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
945 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
947 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
948 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
950 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
951 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
954 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
956 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
957 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
958 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
959 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
960 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
961 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
963 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
965 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
967 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
968 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
969 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
971 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
972 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
973 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
974 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
975 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
976 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
979 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
980 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
981 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
982 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
983 of masquerading individually.
985 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
986 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
987 GECOS field delimiters.
989 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
991 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
992 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
993 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
994 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
995 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
996 and explaining the feature.
998 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1000 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1001 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1004 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1005 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1006 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1008 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1009 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1010 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1011 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1013 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1014 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1015 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1018 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1020 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1021 code to be executed.
1023 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1025 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1027 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1028 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1029 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1030 quotes embedded in them.
1032 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1034 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1035 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1036 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1037 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1038 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1039 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1040 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1043 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1044 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1045 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1046 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1047 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1049 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1051 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1053 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1054 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1055 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1056 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1058 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1061 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1063 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1065 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1067 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1068 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1069 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1071 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1074 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1076 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1077 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1078 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1079 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1080 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1081 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1083 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1084 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1086 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1088 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1091 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1093 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1094 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1095 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1098 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1099 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1100 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1101 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1102 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1103 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1104 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1105 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1106 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1107 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1108 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1109 processing that post has).
1111 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1113 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1114 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1115 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1116 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1117 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1118 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1121 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1123 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1125 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1127 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1129 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1130 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1132 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1135 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1137 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1138 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1139 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1142 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1144 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1145 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1146 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1147 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1148 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1149 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1151 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1153 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1155 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1157 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1158 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1159 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1160 caught again. This works for now.
1162 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1164 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1166 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1167 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1169 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1171 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1172 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1174 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1176 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1178 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1180 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1181 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1183 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1185 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1186 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1187 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1188 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1189 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1192 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1194 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1195 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1196 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1198 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1199 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1202 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1204 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1205 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1206 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1208 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1210 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1211 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1213 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1215 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1218 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1219 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1221 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1222 macros, regardless of platform.
1224 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1225 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1227 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1228 with x-conversions=gzip.
1230 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1232 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1235 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1236 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1237 implicit definition of ioctl().
1239 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1240 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1241 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1242 want to mess with them.
1244 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1246 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1247 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1249 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1250 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1252 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1253 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1254 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1256 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1257 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1258 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1260 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1261 function initgroups.
1263 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1266 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1267 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1270 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1271 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1274 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1275 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1279 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1281 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1282 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1283 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1285 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1286 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1288 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1290 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1292 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1293 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1294 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1295 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1297 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1298 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1300 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1302 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1304 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1306 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1307 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1309 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1311 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1312 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1314 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1315 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1316 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1317 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1319 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1320 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1322 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1324 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1325 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1327 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1329 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1330 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1333 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1335 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1337 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1339 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1340 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1342 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1343 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1344 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1346 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1347 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1348 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1350 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1351 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1352 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1354 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1355 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1358 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1359 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1361 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1362 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1364 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1365 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1367 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1368 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1369 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1371 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1372 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1374 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1375 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1376 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1378 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1379 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1382 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1383 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1385 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1386 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1387 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1388 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1390 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1391 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1393 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1397 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1398 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1399 would not be changed.
1401 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1402 one from the Apache web server.
1404 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1405 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1407 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1408 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1409 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1411 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1413 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1415 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1416 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1419 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1420 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1421 removes a bad race condition.
1423 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1426 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1427 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1428 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1430 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1431 sequence information.
1433 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1434 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1436 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1439 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1442 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1444 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1445 interpret 034 as octal.
1447 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1449 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1450 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1452 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1453 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1455 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1456 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1458 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1459 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1461 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1462 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1464 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1465 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1466 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1468 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1469 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1470 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1472 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1474 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1476 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1477 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1480 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1482 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1483 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1485 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1486 header field information.
1488 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1489 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1491 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1492 values when parsing a content.
1494 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1495 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1497 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1498 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1500 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1501 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1503 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1504 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1506 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1508 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1510 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1512 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1514 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1515 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1518 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1519 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1521 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1522 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1523 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1524 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1525 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1526 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1529 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1531 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1532 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1533 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1535 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1536 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1538 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1540 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1541 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1542 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1543 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1545 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1546 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1549 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1550 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1551 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1552 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1555 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1557 * Released nmh-0.27.
1559 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1560 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1562 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1563 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1564 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1565 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1568 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1569 mhbuild returns an error.
1571 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1572 rename the draft file.
1574 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1575 use a global variable.
1577 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1578 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1580 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1581 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1583 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1584 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1585 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1587 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1588 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1590 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1591 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1594 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1595 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1598 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1599 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1601 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1602 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1603 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1605 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1606 to new function output_content_folder.
1608 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1609 new function output_content_file.
1611 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1612 to new function parse_format_string.
1614 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1615 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1616 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1617 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1619 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1620 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1621 message/external file from ftp.
1623 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1624 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1625 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1627 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1628 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1631 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1634 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1635 new file mhstoresbr.c
1637 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1640 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1641 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1643 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1644 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1646 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1647 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1648 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1650 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1652 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1654 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1655 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1658 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1659 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1661 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1664 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1666 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1668 * Released nmh-0.26.
1670 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1671 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1672 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1673 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1675 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1676 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1677 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1678 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1679 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1681 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1682 But it is not on by default.
1684 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1685 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1687 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1689 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1691 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1693 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1695 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1696 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1698 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1700 * Released nmh-0.25.
1702 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1703 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1704 uses the original name of the library.
1706 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1707 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1710 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1711 list_content and list_debug.
1713 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1715 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1716 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1718 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1720 * Released nmh-0.24.
1722 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1724 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1725 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1727 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1728 large sequence line.
1730 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1732 * Released nmh-0.23.
1734 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1736 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1737 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1738 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1739 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1741 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1742 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1745 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1747 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1749 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1751 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1752 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1754 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1755 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1757 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1758 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1760 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1761 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1763 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1765 * Released nmh-0.22.
1767 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1768 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1770 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1772 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1773 mh-profile(5) man page.
1775 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1776 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1778 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1780 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1782 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1783 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1785 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1787 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1788 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1789 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1791 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1792 source message on the standard input.
1794 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1796 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1797 rather than -rfc934mode.
1799 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1800 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1803 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1804 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1806 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1809 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1811 * Released nmh-0.21.
1813 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1814 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1816 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1819 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1820 to use for text contents.
1822 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1824 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1826 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1828 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1830 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1831 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1833 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1834 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1835 spaces between encoded word are.
1837 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1839 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1840 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1842 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1843 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1844 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1846 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1848 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1849 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1851 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1853 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1855 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1856 ISO-8859-X character set.
1858 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1861 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1862 permissions, not write permissions.
1864 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1865 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1867 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1870 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1872 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1874 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1875 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1877 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1878 message contains valid character set.
1880 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1881 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1883 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1884 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1886 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1887 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1888 between an encoded word and normal text.
1890 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1891 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1893 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1894 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1896 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1899 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1900 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1903 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1904 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1906 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1907 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1909 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1911 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1913 * Released nmh-0.20.
1915 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1917 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1919 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1920 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1921 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1923 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1924 and the To: line was missing.
1926 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1928 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1930 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1932 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1933 watch the POP transaction.
1935 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1936 first, and use it if available.
1938 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1939 first, and use it if available.
1941 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1943 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1945 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1946 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1947 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1950 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1951 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1952 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1954 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1955 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1958 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1960 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1961 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1963 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1965 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1966 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1968 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1969 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1970 message to which you are replying.
1972 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1973 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1974 making group replies.
1976 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1978 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1980 * Released nmh-0.19.
1982 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1983 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1985 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1986 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1987 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1988 to the end of the man page.
1990 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1991 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1992 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1993 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1994 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1995 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1997 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2000 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2001 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2002 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2004 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2005 the next available number above the message number you wish
2008 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2009 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2011 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2012 file sbr/seq_print.c
2014 * flist will now update the current folder.
2016 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2017 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2018 but now undocumented.
2020 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2023 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2024 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2026 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2028 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2029 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2031 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2033 * Released nmh-0.18.
2035 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2036 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2037 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2039 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2040 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2042 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2043 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2044 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2045 previous public/private status.
2047 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2050 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2053 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2054 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2055 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2057 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2058 take option to determine whether it should get current
2059 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2060 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2062 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2064 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2065 wait for stopped processes.
2067 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2068 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2070 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2072 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2074 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2075 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2077 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2078 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2080 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2081 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2082 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2083 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2085 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2088 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2091 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2093 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2094 the debugging output.
2096 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2097 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2099 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2101 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2103 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2104 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2106 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2108 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2109 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2110 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2111 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2112 in the given sequence.
2114 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2115 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2116 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2117 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2118 subdirectories of a given directory.
2120 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2121 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2122 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2124 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2125 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2127 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2129 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2132 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2133 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2134 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2136 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2137 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2138 are calculated at runtime.
2140 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2142 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2144 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2145 about checking for global mh.profile.
2147 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2148 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2149 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2150 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2151 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2152 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2154 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2155 adding message to folder itself.
2157 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2158 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2159 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2162 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2163 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2166 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2167 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2168 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2170 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2171 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2173 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2174 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2175 code to use it yet).
2177 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2179 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2181 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2182 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2184 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2185 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2187 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2189 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2192 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2194 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2196 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2198 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2200 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2201 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2203 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2205 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2207 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2209 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2211 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2213 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2214 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2216 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2217 configuration files.
2219 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2221 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2223 * Released nmh-0.17.
2225 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2227 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2228 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2230 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2233 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2234 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2236 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2237 number of refiled message.
2239 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2241 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2242 for return value of wait().
2244 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2246 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2248 * Released nmh-0.16.
2250 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2252 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2254 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2255 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2256 deal with binary messages, yet).
2258 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2260 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2262 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2263 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2264 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2265 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2266 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2267 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2269 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2270 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2272 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2273 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2275 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2276 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2279 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2281 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2283 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2284 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2287 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2290 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2292 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2293 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2294 which used unsigned chars by default.

2311 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2312 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2314 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2315 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2317 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2319 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2320 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2322 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2323 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2324 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2325 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2327 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2328 and put in own subroutine.
2330 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2331 and put in own subroutine.
2333 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2334 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and

2366 selected messages to a sequence.
2368 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2371 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2373 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2374 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2376 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2378 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2415 * Released nmh-0.13.
2417 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2418 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2419 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2420 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2423 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2424 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2426 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2428 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2429 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2431 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2433 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2462 will suppress the display of the message header.
2464 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2466 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2467 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.

2471 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2473 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h

2476 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2478 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2479 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2481 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2483 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2485 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2486 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2488 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2489 defined even if message is missing "From " line.

2503 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2505 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2506 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2508 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

2513 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2514 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2516 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2518 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2546 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2548 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2549 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2551 * Released nmh-0.08.
2553 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2554 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2555 locking database itself.

2559 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2561 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2562 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2565 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2566 rather than mmdf format.
2568 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2569 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2570 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2571 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2573 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2575 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2577 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2580 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2581 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2582 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2584 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2585 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2586 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2588 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2590 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2591 can still easily change this in config.h).
2593 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2594 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2595 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2597 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2599 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

2614 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2616 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2617 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2620 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2621 built-in FTP client in mhn.

2634 * Released nmh-0.06.
2636 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2637 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2639 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2640 many such machines around anymore.
2642 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2643 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2645 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2646 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2648 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2650 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2651 pre-generated version if necessary.
2653 * Released nmh-0.05.
2655 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2656 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2657 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2658 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2660 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2661 be linked in one pass.
2663 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2665 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2666 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2668 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2670 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2672 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2674 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2675 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2676 become the current folder.
2678 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2680 * Released nmh-0.04.

2685 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2687 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2688 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2689 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2691 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2693 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2694 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2696 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2698 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2699 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2702 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2703 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2705 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2707 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2708 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2709 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2710 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2711 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2712 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2714 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2716 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2717 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2719 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2720 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2722 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2724 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2725 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2727 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2729 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2730 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2731 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2733 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2735 * Released nmh-0.03.
2737 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2738 .mh_sequence file existed.
2740 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2741 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2743 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2744 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2747 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2749 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2752 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2754 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2755 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2756 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2758 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2760 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2761 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2762 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2764 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2766 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2767 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2769 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2771 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2773 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2774 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2775 directory from where the source code is located.
2777 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2779 * Released nmh-0.02.

2797 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2799 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2800 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2801 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2802 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2803 rather than in script.
2805 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2807 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2809 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2810 macro defined on Solaris.

2814 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2815 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2817 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2818 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2819 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2820 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2823 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2825 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2826 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2828 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2831 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2833 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2835 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2836 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2838 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2840 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2841 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2843 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2845 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2846 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2847 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2848 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2849 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2850 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2852 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2854 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2856 * Released nmh-0.01.
2858 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2859 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2860 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2863 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2865 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2868 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2870 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2871 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2873 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2875 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2876 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).

2882 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2883 speed up -recurse option.
2885 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2886 yet, but it compiles :-)
2888 * Changed default location for install to
2889 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2890 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2891 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2894 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2895 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2896 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
