1 2008-06-02 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
3 * h/prototypes.h: mark adios() as not returning, so gcc
4 can make a better job of avoiding spurious "uninitialized
7 2008-06-01 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
9 * docs/README.developers: update the bits about doing a
10 release announcement, now I've actually done one.
12 2008-05-22 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
14 * uip/scansbr.c: don't use MB_CUR_MAX if we aren't compiled
15 with multibyte support.
17 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: factor out common code for writing ls
18 shell command, and make it do more sensible buffer length
19 checks. Also avoid relying on the return value of sprintf(),
20 as some old systems don't return number of characters written.
22 2008-05-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
24 * sbr/utils.c (mh_xrealloc): don't assume realloc() can
25 handle NULL pointers; some non-POSIX realloc()s can't.
27 * sbr/dtimep.lex: add some table size declarations for the
28 benefit of elderly lexes with small defaults.
30 2008-05-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
32 * sbr/addrsbr.c: removed "err" from conditional, because gcc
33 correctly warned that it would always evaluate as true. It's
34 the address of a static array.
36 2008-05-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
38 * sbr/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.in: Don't use $< in target rules
39 in makefiles, as POSIX says it's only defined in inference rules.
41 2008-05-13 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
43 * configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
44 specified to configure, enable all supported masquerade forms.
45 This allows users to masquerade with the default
46 configuration. That seems to be more worthwhile now than
47 trying to prevent users from using it, especially with
48 single-user installations or those where a user can edit
51 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
53 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
54 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
55 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
56 ruserpass() has a void return type.
58 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
59 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
60 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
61 provide memmove() substitute implementation
63 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
64 source directory' feature
66 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
67 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
69 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
71 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
72 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
73 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
76 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
78 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
79 is the wrong approach.
81 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
82 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
83 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
86 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
87 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
88 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
89 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
90 broken for continued lines from the server.
92 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
94 * Cope with sasl_decode64() returning SASL_CONTINUE, as
95 happens with newer sasl libraries and LOGIN auth.
97 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
99 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
101 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
104 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
106 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
108 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
110 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
111 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
112 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
113 obsolete feature of autoconf
115 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
117 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
118 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
119 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
121 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
123 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
124 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
126 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
128 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
131 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
133 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
134 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
135 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
136 following done() (should never be reached).
138 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
140 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
141 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
143 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
145 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
146 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
148 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
150 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
151 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
152 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
153 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
154 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
155 acconfig.h if you must.
157 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
159 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
160 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
161 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
162 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
164 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
166 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
169 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
171 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
172 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
173 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
174 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
175 have Content-Disposition.
177 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
179 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
182 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
184 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
185 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
187 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
189 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
190 encoded block is empty
192 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
194 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
195 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
196 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
199 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
201 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
202 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
205 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
207 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
208 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
209 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
210 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
213 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
214 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
216 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
218 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
219 function num_digits into utils.c
221 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
223 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
224 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
225 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
227 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
229 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
230 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
231 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
232 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
233 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
234 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
235 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
236 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
238 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
240 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
241 Content-Disposition header.
243 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
245 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
246 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
247 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
248 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
249 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
250 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
251 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
252 users to easily accomodate that by adding
253 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
255 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
257 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
258 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
260 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
262 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
264 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
265 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
267 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
268 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
270 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
272 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
273 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
274 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
275 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
276 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
279 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
281 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
282 widths, restoring right justification feature
284 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
286 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
287 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
288 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
290 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
293 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
295 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
296 handling multi column characters.
298 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
300 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
302 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
304 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
305 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
308 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
310 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
312 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
314 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
317 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
319 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
322 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
324 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
325 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
326 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
327 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
329 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
331 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
332 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
333 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
334 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
335 where configure's autodetection fails.
337 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
339 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
340 configure script change.
342 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
344 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
345 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
346 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
349 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
351 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
352 the context is only read once.
354 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
356 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
357 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
359 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
361 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
362 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
364 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
365 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
368 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
369 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
372 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
374 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
375 vi isn't found during build.
377 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
379 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
380 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
382 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
383 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
384 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
386 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
388 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
389 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
391 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
392 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
393 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
394 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
397 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
398 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
399 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
401 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
402 entry in the context file.
404 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
406 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
407 problems on some systems
409 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
410 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
412 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
414 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
415 sendmail isn't found during build.
417 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
419 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
421 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
423 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
424 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
426 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
427 references to the web page and mailing list locations
429 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
430 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
432 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
435 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
437 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
438 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
439 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
441 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
442 was configured with --enable-apop.
444 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
445 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
446 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
448 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
449 new versions of flex.
451 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
452 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
453 doesn't guess wrongly.
455 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
457 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
458 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
460 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
461 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
463 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
464 files with numbers as names
466 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
468 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
470 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
472 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
474 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
475 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
477 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
479 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
482 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
483 test/report error writing to stdout
485 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
487 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
489 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
490 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
491 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
493 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
494 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
495 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
497 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
499 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
500 character set used by the current locale
502 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
503 message's filename overflows an int when converted
505 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
506 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
508 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
510 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
513 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
515 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
516 from Michael Richardson.
518 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
519 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
521 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
523 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
524 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
526 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
528 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
529 find sub-parts of the specified part
531 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
533 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
534 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
535 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
536 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
537 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
538 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
539 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
542 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
544 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
545 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
546 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
549 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
550 refiling with -src option.
552 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
554 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.

558 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
559 mailpath being overwritten.
561 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
563 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
564 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
565 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
566 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
567 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
568 reinitializes the tmp file string.
570 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
571 if a format string was read from the profile.
573 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
574 path for the external hook.
576 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
578 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
579 another location for ndbm.
581 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
583 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
585 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
587 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
590 136976 - Handle binary content messages
591 143427 - mh-format.man typo
592 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
593 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
594 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
595 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
596 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
597 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
598 181867 - typo for nmh.man
600 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
602 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
603 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
604 contitional code which will result in cached data to
605 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
606 and parse on the first use.
607 * Remove some unused flag bits.
609 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
611 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
612 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
614 #578 - repl leaks umask
615 #1393 - sortm core dumps
616 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
617 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
618 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
620 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
621 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
623 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
625 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
626 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
628 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
630 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
631 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
632 to docs/README.about.
634 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
636 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
638 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
639 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
640 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
641 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
644 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
646 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
647 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
648 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
649 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
650 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
651 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
654 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
655 summary configure prints out.
657 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
658 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
659 subjectively more readable) format.
661 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
663 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
666 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
668 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
669 19xx when it's not necessary.
671 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
673 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
674 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
677 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
678 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
679 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
680 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
681 the man pages correctly.
683 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
685 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
687 * Finished manpages ali-prev
689 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
690 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
691 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
694 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
695 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
696 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
697 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
699 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
701 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
702 the formatting rules I've been using.
706 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
708 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
709 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
710 used in the manpages.
712 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
713 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
714 read in the contents of the file as the variable
717 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
718 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
719 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
720 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
721 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
722 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
723 bold flags and italicized parameters.
725 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
727 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
728 --with-locking option.
730 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
731 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
732 information was not being communicated to the
733 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
734 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
735 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
736 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
737 undefined symbols problems.
739 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
740 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
741 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
742 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
743 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
744 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
745 for a genuine krb4 installation.
747 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
749 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
750 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
752 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
754 * Made a new ./configure option called
755 "--with-locking" that allows the file
756 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
757 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
759 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
760 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
761 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
762 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
763 the user that these are the valid options, and
764 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
767 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
769 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
770 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
771 committed to supporting flex only, since
772 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
773 string, as well as other problems documented
774 below and on nmh-workers.
776 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
777 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
778 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
781 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
782 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
784 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
786 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
787 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
788 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
790 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
792 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
793 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
795 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
797 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
798 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
799 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
800 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
801 couldn't correctly identify them.
803 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
805 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
806 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
807 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
808 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
809 not depending on an external archive.
811 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
812 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
813 mts/generic is no longer built.
815 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
817 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
818 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
819 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
820 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
821 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
822 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
823 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
824 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
826 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
828 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
829 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
832 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
834 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
835 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
836 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
839 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
840 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
841 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
842 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
844 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
845 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
846 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
847 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
848 merged into the smtp code).
850 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
851 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
852 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
855 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
856 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
857 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
858 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
859 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
860 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
861 in the appropriate Makefile.in
863 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
865 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
866 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
867 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
868 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
869 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
870 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
871 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
872 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
873 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
874 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
875 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
877 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
879 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
880 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
881 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
882 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
883 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
884 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
885 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
886 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
887 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
889 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
891 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
892 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
895 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
897 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
898 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
900 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
902 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
903 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
904 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
905 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
907 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
909 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
910 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
911 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
912 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
913 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
915 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
916 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
918 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
920 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
922 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
923 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
924 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
925 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
927 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
928 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
929 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
930 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
932 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
933 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
934 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
935 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
937 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
938 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
939 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
941 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
943 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
944 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
945 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
946 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
947 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
948 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
951 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
952 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
954 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
955 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
957 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
959 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
961 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
963 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
964 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
965 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
966 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
968 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
970 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
971 be easily changed from "," to "#".
973 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
975 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
977 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
978 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
981 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
983 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
984 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
985 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
986 but not for the subsequent data stream.
988 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
990 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
991 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
992 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
993 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
994 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
996 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
998 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
999 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
1001 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
1002 cat, also define lorder as echo.
1004 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
1006 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1008 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
1009 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
1010 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
1012 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1014 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
1017 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
1018 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
1020 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1022 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
1023 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
1025 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1027 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
1028 inc does not need to be setgid.
1030 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1032 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
1033 library, as found on Debian systems.
1035 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
1037 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1039 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
1040 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
1041 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
1042 case-insensitivity flag.
1044 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1046 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
1047 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
1049 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1051 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1052 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1053 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1054 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1055 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1056 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1057 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1058 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1059 getting moved aside).
1061 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1062 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1064 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1066 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1067 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1068 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1069 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1070 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1071 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1072 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1073 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1074 the prototype, but never sets it.
1076 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1077 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1078 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1079 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1080 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1081 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1083 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1084 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1085 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1086 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1087 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1089 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1091 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1092 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1095 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1096 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1097 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1098 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1099 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1100 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1101 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1103 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1105 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1107 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1108 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1109 this works on other systems.
1111 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1113 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1114 checks for write failures.
1116 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1118 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1120 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1123 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1125 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1127 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1129 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1130 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1133 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1135 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1136 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1137 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1138 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1140 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1142 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1143 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1146 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1147 as well as Makefiles.
1149 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1151 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1152 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1153 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1154 should make maintainability easier.
1156 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1157 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1158 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1159 whatever you know works.
1161 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1163 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1164 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1165 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1167 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1168 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1169 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1170 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1172 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1173 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1174 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1176 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1177 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1178 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1179 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1180 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1182 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1183 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1184 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1185 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1186 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1187 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1188 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1189 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1190 from the BSD version.
1192 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1193 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1194 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1196 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1197 in ruserpass.c also.
1199 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1202 This happens on solaris:
1205 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1206 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1210 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1212 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1213 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1215 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1217 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1218 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1219 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1220 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1221 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1222 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1223 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1224 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1225 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1226 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1227 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1229 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1230 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1231 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1232 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1233 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1234 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1237 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1238 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1239 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1240 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1241 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1243 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1244 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1246 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1248 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1249 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1250 to stdin, such as exmh.
1252 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1253 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1254 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1257 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1259 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1260 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1261 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1262 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1263 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1264 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1265 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1267 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1269 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1270 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1272 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1274 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1275 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1277 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1279 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1282 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1283 along with any -host or -user option.
1285 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1287 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1289 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1290 process was fresh in my mind.
1292 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1294 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1295 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1297 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1299 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1301 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1304 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1305 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1306 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1307 part of the program's name.
1309 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1310 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1313 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1315 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1316 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1317 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1318 single-character format would cause programs using this
1319 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1320 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1321 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1322 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1325 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1327 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1328 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1329 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1330 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1331 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1332 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1334 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1335 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1336 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1337 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1338 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1339 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1340 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1341 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1343 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1344 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1345 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1346 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1347 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1348 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1349 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1350 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1351 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1352 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1354 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1356 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1357 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1359 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1360 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1362 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1367 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1369 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1370 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1371 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1372 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1374 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1375 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1376 problem in the routine.
1378 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1380 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1381 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1383 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1384 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1385 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1388 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1390 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1391 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1392 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1393 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1394 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1395 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1396 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1397 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1398 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1399 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1401 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1403 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1404 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1405 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1406 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1407 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1408 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1409 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1410 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1411 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1412 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1413 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1414 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1416 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1417 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1418 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1419 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1420 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1422 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1425 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1427 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1428 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1429 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1430 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1433 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1435 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1437 * Applied, after some finessing,
1438 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1440 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1442 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1444 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1445 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1446 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1447 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1449 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1451 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1452 forgetting to do so!).
1454 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1455 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1456 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1457 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1458 arguments to enable all three types.
1460 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1461 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1463 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1464 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1465 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1466 updated copy of mts.conf.
1468 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1470 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1471 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1472 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1474 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1476 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1478 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1479 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1480 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1482 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1483 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1484 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1486 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1487 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1488 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1490 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1492 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1494 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1496 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1498 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1499 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1501 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1502 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1503 certain suffix to run properly.
1505 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1506 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1507 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1509 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1510 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1511 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1512 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1513 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1514 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1515 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1517 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1519 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1520 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1521 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1522 until some year far in the future).
1524 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1526 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1528 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1529 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1531 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1532 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1535 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1537 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1538 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1539 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1540 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1541 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1542 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1544 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1546 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1548 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1549 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1550 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1552 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1553 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1554 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1555 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1556 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1557 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1560 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1561 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1562 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1563 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1564 of masquerading individually.
1566 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1567 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1568 GECOS field delimiters.
1570 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1572 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1573 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1574 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1575 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1576 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1577 and explaining the feature.
1579 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1581 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1582 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1585 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1586 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1587 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1589 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1590 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1591 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1592 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1594 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1595 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1596 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1599 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1601 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1602 code to be executed.
1604 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1606 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1608 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1609 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1610 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1611 quotes embedded in them.
1613 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1615 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1616 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1617 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1618 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1619 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1620 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1621 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1624 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1625 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1626 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1627 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1628 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1630 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1632 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1634 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1635 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1636 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1637 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1639 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1642 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1644 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1646 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1648 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1649 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1650 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1652 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1655 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1657 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1658 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1659 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1660 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1661 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1662 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1664 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1665 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1667 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1669 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1672 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1674 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1675 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1676 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1679 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1680 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1681 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1682 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1683 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1684 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1685 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1686 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1687 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1688 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1689 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1690 processing that post has).
1692 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1694 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1695 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1696 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1697 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1698 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1699 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1702 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1704 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1706 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1708 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1710 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1711 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1713 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1716 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1718 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1719 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1720 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1723 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1725 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1726 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1727 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1728 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1729 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1730 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1732 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1734 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1736 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1738 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1739 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1740 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1741 caught again. This works for now.
1743 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1745 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1747 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1748 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1750 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1752 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1753 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1755 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1757 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1759 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1761 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1762 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1764 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1766 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1767 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1768 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1769 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1770 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1773 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1775 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1776 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1777 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1779 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1780 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1783 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1785 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1786 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1787 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1789 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1791 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1792 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1794 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1796 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1799 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1800 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1802 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1803 macros, regardless of platform.
1805 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1806 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1808 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1809 with x-conversions=gzip.
1811 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1813 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1816 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1817 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1818 implicit definition of ioctl().
1820 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1821 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1822 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1823 want to mess with them.
1825 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1827 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1828 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1830 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1831 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1833 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1834 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1835 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1837 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1838 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1839 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1841 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1842 function initgroups.
1844 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1847 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1848 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1851 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1852 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1855 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1856 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1860 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1862 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1863 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1864 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1866 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1867 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1869 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1871 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1873 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1874 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1875 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1876 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1878 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1879 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1881 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1883 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1885 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1887 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1888 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1890 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1892 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1893 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1895 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1896 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1897 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1898 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1900 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1901 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1903 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1905 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1906 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1908 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1910 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1911 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1914 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1916 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1918 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1920 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1921 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1923 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1924 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1925 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1927 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1928 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1929 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1931 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1932 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1933 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1935 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1936 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1939 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1940 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1942 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1943 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1945 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1946 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1948 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1949 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1950 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1952 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1953 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1955 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1956 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1957 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1959 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1960 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1963 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1964 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1966 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1967 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1968 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1969 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1971 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1972 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1974 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1978 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1979 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1980 would not be changed.
1982 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1983 one from the Apache web server.
1985 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1986 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1988 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1989 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1990 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1992 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1994 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1996 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1997 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
2000 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
2001 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
2002 removes a bad race condition.
2004 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
2007 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
2008 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
2009 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
2011 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
2012 sequence information.
2014 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
2015 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
2017 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
2020 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
2023 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
2025 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
2026 interpret 034 as octal.
2028 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
2030 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
2031 mhstore, and mhbuild.
2033 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
2034 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
2036 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
2037 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
2039 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
2040 in the c_cefile structure when building.
2042 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
2043 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
2045 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
2046 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
2047 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
2049 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2050 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2051 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2053 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2055 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2057 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2058 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2061 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2063 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2064 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2066 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2067 header field information.
2069 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2070 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2072 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2073 values when parsing a content.
2075 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2076 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2078 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2079 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2081 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2082 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2084 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2085 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2087 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2089 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2091 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2093 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2095 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2096 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2099 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2100 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2102 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2103 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2104 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2105 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2106 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2107 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2110 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2112 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2113 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2114 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2116 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2117 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2119 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2121 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2122 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2123 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2124 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2126 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2127 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2130 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2131 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2132 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2133 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2136 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2138 * Released nmh-0.27.
2140 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2141 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2143 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2144 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2145 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2146 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2149 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2150 mhbuild returns an error.
2152 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2153 rename the draft file.
2155 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2156 use a global variable.
2158 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2159 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2161 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2162 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2164 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2165 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2166 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2168 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2169 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2171 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2172 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2175 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2176 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2179 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2180 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2182 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2183 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2184 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2186 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2187 to new function output_content_folder.
2189 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2190 new function output_content_file.
2192 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2193 to new function parse_format_string.
2195 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2196 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2197 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2198 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2200 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2201 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2202 message/external file from ftp.
2204 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2205 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2206 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2208 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2209 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2212 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2215 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2216 new file mhstoresbr.c
2218 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2221 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2222 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2224 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2225 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2227 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2228 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2229 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2231 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2233 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2235 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2236 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2239 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2240 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2242 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2245 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2247 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2249 * Released nmh-0.26.
2251 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2252 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2253 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2254 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2256 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2257 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2258 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2259 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2260 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2262 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2263 But it is not on by default.
2265 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2266 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2268 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2270 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2272 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2274 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2276 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2277 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2279 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2281 * Released nmh-0.25.
2283 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2284 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2285 uses the original name of the library.
2287 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2288 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2291 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2292 list_content and list_debug.
2294 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2296 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2297 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2299 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2301 * Released nmh-0.24.
2303 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2305 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2306 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2308 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2309 large sequence line.
2311 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2313 * Released nmh-0.23.
2315 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2317 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2318 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2319 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2320 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2322 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2323 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2326 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2328 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2330 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2332 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2333 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2335 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2336 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2338 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2339 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2341 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2342 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2344 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2346 * Released nmh-0.22.
2348 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2349 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2351 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2353 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2354 mh-profile(5) man page.
2356 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2357 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2359 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2361 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2363 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2364 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2366 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2368 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2369 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2370 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2372 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2373 source message on the standard input.
2375 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2377 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2378 rather than -rfc934mode.
2380 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2381 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2384 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2385 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2387 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2390 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2392 * Released nmh-0.21.
2394 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2395 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2397 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2400 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2401 to use for text contents.
2403 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2405 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2407 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2409 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2411 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2412 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2414 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2415 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2416 spaces between encoded word are.
2418 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2420 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2421 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2423 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2424 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2425 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2427 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2429 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2430 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2432 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2434 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2436 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2437 ISO-8859-X character set.
2439 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2442 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2443 permissions, not write permissions.
2445 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2446 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2448 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2451 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2453 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2455 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2456 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2458 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2459 message contains valid character set.
2461 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2462 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2464 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2465 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2467 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2468 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2469 between an encoded word and normal text.
2471 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2472 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2474 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2475 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2477 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2480 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2481 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2484 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2485 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2487 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2488 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2490 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2492 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2494 * Released nmh-0.20.
2496 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2498 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2500 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2501 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2502 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2504 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2505 and the To: line was missing.
2507 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2509 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2511 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2513 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2514 watch the POP transaction.
2516 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2517 first, and use it if available.
2519 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2520 first, and use it if available.
2522 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2524 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2526 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2527 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2528 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2531 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2532 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2533 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2535 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2536 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2539 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2541 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2542 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2544 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2546 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2547 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2549 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2550 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2551 message to which you are replying.
2553 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2554 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2555 making group replies.
2557 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2559 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2561 * Released nmh-0.19.
2563 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2564 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2566 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2567 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2568 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2569 to the end of the man page.
2571 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2572 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2573 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2574 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2575 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2576 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2578 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2581 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2582 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2583 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2585 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2586 the next available number above the message number you wish
2589 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2590 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2592 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2593 file sbr/seq_print.c
2595 * flist will now update the current folder.
2597 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2598 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2599 but now undocumented.
2601 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2604 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2605 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2607 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2609 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2610 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2612 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2614 * Released nmh-0.18.
2616 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2617 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2618 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2620 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2621 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2623 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2624 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2625 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2626 previous public/private status.
2628 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2631 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2634 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2635 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2636 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2638 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2639 take option to determine whether it should get current
2640 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2641 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2643 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2645 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2646 wait for stopped processes.
2648 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2649 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2651 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2653 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2655 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2656 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2658 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2659 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2661 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2662 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2663 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2664 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2666 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2669 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2672 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2674 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2675 the debugging output.
2677 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2678 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2680 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2682 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2684 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2685 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2687 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2689 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2690 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2691 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2692 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2693 in the given sequence.
2695 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2696 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2697 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2698 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2699 subdirectories of a given directory.
2701 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2702 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2703 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2705 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2706 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2708 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2710 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2713 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2714 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2715 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2717 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2718 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2719 are calculated at runtime.
2721 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2723 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2725 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2726 about checking for global mh.profile.
2728 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2729 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2730 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2731 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2732 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2733 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2735 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2736 adding message to folder itself.
2738 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2739 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2740 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2743 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2744 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2747 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2748 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2749 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2751 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2752 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2754 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2755 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2756 code to use it yet).
2758 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2760 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2762 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2763 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2765 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2766 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2768 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2770 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2773 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2775 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2777 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2779 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2781 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2782 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2784 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2786 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2788 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2790 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2792 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2794 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2795 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2797 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2798 configuration files.

2806 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2808 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2809 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2811 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2814 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2815 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2817 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2818 number of refiled message.
2820 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2822 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2823 for return value of wait().

2833 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2835 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2836 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2837 deal with binary messages, yet).
2839 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2841 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2843 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2844 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2845 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2846 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2847 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2848 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2850 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2851 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2853 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2854 From MH-6.8.4 patch.

2857 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2860 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2862 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".

2865 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2868 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2871 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2873 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to

2886 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2888 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2891 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2892 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2893 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2895 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2896 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2898 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2900 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2901 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2903 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2904 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2905 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2906 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2908 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2909 and put in own subroutine.
2911 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2912 and put in own subroutine.
2914 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2915 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2916 refile.c to use new routine.

2920 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2922 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2925 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2926 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2927 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2929 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2932 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before

2944 all selected messages from a sequence.
2946 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2947 selected messages to a sequence.
2949 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2952 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2954 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2955 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2957 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2959 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2996 * Released nmh-0.13.
2998 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2999 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
3000 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
3001 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
3004 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
3005 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
3007 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3009 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
3010 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
3012 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3014 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

3039 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
3040 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
3042 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
3043 will suppress the display of the message header.
3045 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
3047 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
3048 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
3050 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
3052 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
3054 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
3056 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
3057 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3059 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3060 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3062 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3064 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3066 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3067 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3069 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3070 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
3072 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3074 * Released nmh-0.10.

3084 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3086 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3087 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3089 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
3090 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.

3094 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3095 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3097 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3099 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

3127 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3129 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3130 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3132 * Released nmh-0.08.
3134 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3135 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3136 locking database itself.

3140 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3142 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3143 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3146 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3147 rather than mmdf format.
3149 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3150 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3151 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3152 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3154 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3156 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3158 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3161 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3162 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3163 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3165 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3166 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3167 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3169 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3171 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3172 can still easily change this in config.h).
3174 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3175 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3176 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3178 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3180 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3194 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
3195 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3197 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3198 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3201 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3202 built-in FTP client in mhn.
3204 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
3205 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
3207 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
3209 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
3211 * Added configure check for tzset.

3215 * Released nmh-0.06.
3217 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3218 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3220 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3221 many such machines around anymore.
3223 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3224 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3226 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3227 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3229 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3231 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3232 pre-generated version if necessary.
3234 * Released nmh-0.05.
3236 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3237 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3238 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3239 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3241 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3242 be linked in one pass.
3244 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3246 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3247 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3249 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3251 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3253 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3255 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3256 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3257 become the current folder.
3259 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3261 * Released nmh-0.04.

3266 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3268 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3269 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3270 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3272 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3274 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3275 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3277 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3279 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3280 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3283 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3284 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3286 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3288 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3289 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3290 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3291 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3292 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3293 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3295 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3297 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3298 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3300 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3301 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3303 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3305 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3306 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3308 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3310 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3311 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3312 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3314 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3316 * Released nmh-0.03.
3318 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3319 .mh_sequence file existed.
3321 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3322 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3324 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3325 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3328 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3330 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3333 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3335 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3336 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3337 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3339 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3341 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3342 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3343 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3345 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3347 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3348 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3350 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3352 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3354 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3355 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3356 directory from where the source code is located.
3358 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3360 * Released nmh-0.02.

3374 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3376 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3378 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3380 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3381 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3382 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3383 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3384 rather than in script.
3386 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3388 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3390 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with

3395 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3396 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3398 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3399 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3400 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3401 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3404 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3406 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3407 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.

3421 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3422 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3424 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3426 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3427 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3428 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3429 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3430 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3431 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3433 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3435 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3437 * Released nmh-0.01.
3439 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions

3456 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3457 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3458 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3459 script to find_program.
3461 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3463 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3464 speed up -recurse option.
3466 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3467 yet, but it compiles :-)
3469 * Changed default location for install to
3470 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3471 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3472 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3475 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3476 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3477 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
