1 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
3 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
4 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
7 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
9 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
11 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
13 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
16 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
18 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
21 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
23 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
24 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
25 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
26 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
28 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
30 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
31 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
32 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
33 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
34 where configure's autodetection fails.
36 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
38 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
39 configure script change.
41 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
43 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
44 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
45 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
48 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
50 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
51 the context is only read once.
53 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
55 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
56 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
58 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
60 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
61 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
63 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
64 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
67 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
68 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
71 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
73 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
74 vi isn't found during build.
76 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
78 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
79 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
81 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
82 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
83 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
85 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
87 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
88 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
90 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
91 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
92 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
93 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
96 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
97 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
98 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
100 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
101 entry in the context file.
103 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
105 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
106 problems on some systems
108 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
109 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
111 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
113 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
114 sendmail isn't found during build.
116 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
118 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
120 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
122 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
123 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
125 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
126 references to the web page and mailing list locations
128 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
129 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
131 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
134 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
136 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
137 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
138 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
140 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
141 was configured with --enable-apop.
143 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
144 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
145 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
147 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
148 new versions of flex.
150 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
151 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
152 doesn't guess wrongly.
154 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
156 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
157 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
159 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
160 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
162 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
163 files with numbers as names
165 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
167 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
169 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
171 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
173 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
174 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
176 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
178 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
181 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
182 test/report error writing to stdout
184 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
186 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
188 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
189 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
190 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
192 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
193 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
194 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
196 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
198 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
199 character set used by the current locale
201 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
202 message's filename overflows an int when converted
204 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
205 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
207 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
209 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
212 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
214 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
215 from Michael Richardson.
217 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
218 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
220 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
222 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
223 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
225 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
227 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
228 find sub-parts of the specified part
230 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
232 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
233 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
234 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
235 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
236 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
237 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
238 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
241 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
243 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
244 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
245 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
248 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
249 refiling with -src option.
251 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
253 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
255 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
257 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
258 mailpath being overwritten.
260 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
262 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
263 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
264 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
265 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
266 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
267 reinitializes the tmp file string.
269 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
270 if a format string was read from the profile.
272 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
273 path for the external hook.
275 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
277 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
278 another location for ndbm.
280 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
282 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
284 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
286 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
289 136976 - Handle binary content messages
290 143427 - mh-format.man typo
291 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
292 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
293 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
294 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
295 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
296 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
297 181867 - typo for nmh.man
299 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
301 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
302 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
303 contitional code which will result in cached data to
304 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
305 and parse on the first use.
306 * Remove some unused flag bits.
308 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
310 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
311 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
313 #578 - repl leaks umask
314 #1393 - sortm core dumps
315 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
316 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
317 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
319 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
320 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
322 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
324 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
325 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
327 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
329 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
330 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
331 to docs/README.about.
333 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
335 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
337 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
338 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
339 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
340 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
343 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
345 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
346 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
347 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
348 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
349 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
350 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
353 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
354 summary configure prints out.
356 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
357 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
358 subjectively more readable) format.
360 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
362 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
365 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
367 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
368 19xx when it's not necessary.
370 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
372 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
373 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
376 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
377 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
378 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
379 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
380 the man pages correctly.
382 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
384 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
386 * Finished manpages ali-prev
388 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
389 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
390 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
393 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
394 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
395 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
396 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
398 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
400 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
401 the formatting rules I've been using.
405 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
407 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
408 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
409 used in the manpages.
411 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
412 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
413 read in the contents of the file as the variable
416 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
417 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
418 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
419 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
420 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
421 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
422 bold flags and italicized parameters.
424 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
426 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
427 --with-locking option.
429 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
430 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
431 information was not being communicated to the
432 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
433 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
434 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
435 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
436 undefined symbols problems.
438 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
439 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
440 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
441 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
442 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
443 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
444 for a genuine krb4 installation.
446 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
448 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
449 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
451 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
453 * Made a new ./configure option called
454 "--with-locking" that allows the file
455 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
456 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
458 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
459 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
460 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
461 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
462 the user that these are the valid options, and
463 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
466 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
468 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
469 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
470 committed to supporting flex only, since
471 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
472 string, as well as other problems documented
473 below and on nmh-workers.
475 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
476 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
477 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
480 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
481 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
483 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
485 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
486 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
487 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
489 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
491 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
492 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
494 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
496 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
497 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
498 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
499 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
500 couldn't correctly identify them.
502 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
504 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
505 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
506 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
507 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
508 not depending on an external archive.
510 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
511 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
512 mts/generic is no longer built.
514 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
516 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
517 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
518 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
519 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
520 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
521 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
522 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
523 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
525 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
527 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
528 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
531 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
533 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
534 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
535 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
538 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
539 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
540 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
541 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
543 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
544 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
545 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
546 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
547 merged into the smtp code).
549 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
550 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
551 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
554 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
555 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
556 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
557 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
558 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
559 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
560 in the appropriate Makefile.in
562 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
564 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
565 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
566 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
567 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
568 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
569 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
570 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
571 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
572 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
573 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
574 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
576 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
578 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
579 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
580 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
581 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
582 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
583 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
584 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
585 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
586 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
588 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
590 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
591 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
594 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
596 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
597 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
599 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
601 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
602 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
603 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
604 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
606 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
608 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
609 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
610 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
611 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
612 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
614 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
615 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
617 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
619 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
621 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
622 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
623 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
624 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
626 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
627 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
628 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
629 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
631 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
632 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
633 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
634 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
636 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
637 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
638 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
640 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
642 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
643 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
644 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
645 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
646 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
647 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
650 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
651 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
653 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
654 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
656 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
658 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
660 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
662 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
663 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
664 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
665 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
667 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
669 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
670 be easily changed from "," to "#".
672 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
674 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
676 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
677 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
680 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
682 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
683 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
684 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
685 but not for the subsequent data stream.
687 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
689 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
690 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
691 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
692 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
693 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
695 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
697 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
698 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
700 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
701 cat, also define lorder as echo.
703 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
705 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
707 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
708 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
709 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
711 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
713 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
716 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
717 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
719 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
721 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
722 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
724 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
726 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
727 inc does not need to be setgid.
729 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
731 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
732 library, as found on Debian systems.
734 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
736 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
738 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
739 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
740 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
741 case-insensitivity flag.
743 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
745 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
746 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
748 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
750 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
751 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
752 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
753 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
754 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
755 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
756 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
757 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
758 getting moved aside).
760 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
761 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
763 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
765 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
766 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
767 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
768 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
769 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
770 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
771 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
772 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
773 the prototype, but never sets it.
775 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
776 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
777 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
778 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
779 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
780 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
782 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
783 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
784 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
785 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
786 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
788 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
790 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
791 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
794 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
795 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
796 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
797 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
798 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
799 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
800 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
802 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
804 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
806 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
807 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
808 this works on other systems.
810 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
812 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
813 checks for write failures.
815 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
817 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
819 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
822 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
824 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
826 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
828 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
829 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
832 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
834 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
835 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
836 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
837 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
839 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
841 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
842 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
845 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
846 as well as Makefiles.
848 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
850 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
851 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
852 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
853 should make maintainability easier.
855 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
856 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
857 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
858 whatever you know works.
860 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
862 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
863 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
864 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
866 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
867 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
868 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
869 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
871 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
872 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
873 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
875 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
876 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
877 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
878 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
879 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
881 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
882 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
883 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
884 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
885 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
886 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
887 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
888 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
889 from the BSD version.
891 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
892 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
893 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
895 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
898 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
901 This happens on solaris:
904 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
905 No manual entry for mts.conf.
909 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
911 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
912 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
914 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
916 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
917 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
918 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
919 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
920 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
921 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
922 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
923 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
924 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
925 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
926 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
928 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
929 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
930 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
931 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
932 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
933 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
936 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
937 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
938 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
939 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
940 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
942 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
943 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
945 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
947 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
948 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
949 to stdin, such as exmh.
951 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
952 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
953 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
956 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
958 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
959 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
960 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
961 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
962 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
963 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
964 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
966 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
968 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
969 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
971 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
973 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
974 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
976 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
978 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
981 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
982 along with any -host or -user option.
984 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
986 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
988 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
989 process was fresh in my mind.
991 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
993 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
994 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
996 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
998 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1000 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1003 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1004 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1005 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1006 part of the program's name.
1008 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1009 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1012 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1014 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1015 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1016 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1017 single-character format would cause programs using this
1018 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1019 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1020 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1021 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1024 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1026 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1027 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1028 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1029 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1030 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1031 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1033 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1034 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1035 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1036 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1037 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1038 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1039 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1040 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1042 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1043 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1044 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1045 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1046 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1047 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1048 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1049 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1050 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1051 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1053 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1055 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1056 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1058 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1059 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1061 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1066 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1068 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1069 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1070 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1071 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1073 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1074 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1075 problem in the routine.
1077 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1079 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1080 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1082 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1083 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1084 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1087 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1089 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1090 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1091 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1092 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1093 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1094 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1095 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1096 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1097 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1098 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1100 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1102 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1103 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1104 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1105 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1106 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1107 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1108 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1109 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1110 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1111 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1112 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1113 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1115 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1116 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1117 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1118 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1119 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1121 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1124 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1126 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1127 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1128 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1129 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1132 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1134 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1136 * Applied, after some finessing,
1137 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1139 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1141 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1143 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1144 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1145 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1146 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1148 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1150 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1151 forgetting to do so!).
1153 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1154 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1155 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1156 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1157 arguments to enable all three types.
1159 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1160 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1162 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1163 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1164 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1165 updated copy of mts.conf.
1167 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1169 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1170 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1171 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1173 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1175 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1177 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1178 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1179 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1181 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1182 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1183 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1185 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1186 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1187 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1189 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1191 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1193 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1195 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1197 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1198 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1200 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1201 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1202 certain suffix to run properly.
1204 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1205 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1206 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1208 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1209 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1210 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1211 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1212 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1213 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1214 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1216 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1218 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1219 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1220 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1221 until some year far in the future).
1223 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1225 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1227 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1228 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1230 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1231 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1234 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1236 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1237 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1238 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1239 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1240 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1241 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1243 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1245 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1247 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1248 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1249 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1251 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1252 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1253 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1254 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1255 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1256 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1259 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1260 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1261 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1262 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1263 of masquerading individually.
1265 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1266 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1267 GECOS field delimiters.
1269 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1271 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1272 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1273 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1274 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1275 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1276 and explaining the feature.
1278 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1280 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1281 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1284 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1285 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1286 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1288 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1289 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1290 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1291 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1293 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1294 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1295 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1298 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1300 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1301 code to be executed.
1303 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1305 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1307 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1308 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1309 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1310 quotes embedded in them.
1312 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1314 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1315 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1316 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1317 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1318 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1319 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1320 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1323 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1324 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1325 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1326 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1327 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1329 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1331 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1333 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1334 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1335 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1336 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1338 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1341 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1343 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1345 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1347 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1348 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1349 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1351 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1354 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1356 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1357 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1358 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1359 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1360 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1361 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1363 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1364 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1366 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1368 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1371 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1373 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1374 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1375 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1378 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1379 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1380 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1381 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1382 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1383 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1384 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1385 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1386 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1387 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1388 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1389 processing that post has).
1391 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1393 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1394 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1395 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1396 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1397 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1398 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1401 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1403 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1405 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1407 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1409 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1410 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1412 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1415 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1417 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1418 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1419 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1422 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1424 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1425 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1426 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1427 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1428 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1429 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1431 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1433 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1435 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1437 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1438 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1439 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1440 caught again. This works for now.
1442 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1444 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1446 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1447 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1449 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1451 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1452 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1454 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1456 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1458 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1460 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1461 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1463 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1465 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1466 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1467 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1468 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1469 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1472 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1474 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1475 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1476 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1478 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1479 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1482 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1484 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1485 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1486 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1488 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1490 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1491 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1493 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1495 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1498 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1499 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1501 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1502 macros, regardless of platform.
1504 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1505 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1507 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1508 with x-conversions=gzip.
1510 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1512 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1515 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1516 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1517 implicit definition of ioctl().
1519 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1520 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1521 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1522 want to mess with them.
1524 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1526 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1527 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1529 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1530 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1532 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1533 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1534 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1536 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1537 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1538 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1540 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1541 function initgroups.
1543 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1546 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1547 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1550 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1551 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1554 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1555 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1559 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1561 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1562 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1563 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1565 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1566 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1568 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1570 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1572 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1573 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1574 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1575 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1577 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1578 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1580 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1582 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1584 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1586 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1587 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1589 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1591 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1592 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1594 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1595 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1596 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1597 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1599 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1600 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1602 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1604 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1605 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1607 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1609 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1610 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1613 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1615 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1617 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1619 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1620 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1622 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1623 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1624 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1626 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1627 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1628 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1630 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1631 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1632 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1634 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1635 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1638 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1639 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1641 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1642 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1644 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1645 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1647 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1648 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1649 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1651 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1652 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1654 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1655 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1656 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1658 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1659 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1662 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1663 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1665 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1666 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1667 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1668 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1670 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1671 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1673 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1677 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1678 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1679 would not be changed.
1681 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1682 one from the Apache web server.
1684 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1685 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1687 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1688 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1689 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1691 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1693 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1695 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1696 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1699 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1700 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1701 removes a bad race condition.
1703 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1706 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1707 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1708 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1710 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1711 sequence information.
1713 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1714 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1716 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1719 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1722 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1724 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1725 interpret 034 as octal.
1727 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1729 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1730 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1732 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1733 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1735 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1736 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1738 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1739 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1741 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1742 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1744 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1745 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1746 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1748 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1749 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1750 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1752 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1754 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1756 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1757 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1760 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1762 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1763 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1765 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1766 header field information.
1768 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1769 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1771 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1772 values when parsing a content.
1774 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1775 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1777 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1778 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1780 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1781 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1783 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1784 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1786 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1788 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1790 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1792 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1794 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1795 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1798 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1799 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1801 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1802 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1803 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1804 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1805 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1806 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1809 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1811 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1812 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1813 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1815 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1816 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1818 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1820 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1821 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1822 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1823 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1825 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1826 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1829 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1830 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1831 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1832 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1835 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1837 * Released nmh-0.27.
1839 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1840 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1842 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1843 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1844 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1845 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1848 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1849 mhbuild returns an error.
1851 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1852 rename the draft file.
1854 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1855 use a global variable.
1857 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1858 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1860 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1861 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1863 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1864 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1865 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1867 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1868 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1870 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1871 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1874 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1875 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1878 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1879 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1881 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1882 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1883 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1885 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1886 to new function output_content_folder.
1888 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1889 new function output_content_file.
1891 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1892 to new function parse_format_string.
1894 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1895 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1896 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1897 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1899 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1900 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1901 message/external file from ftp.
1903 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1904 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1905 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1907 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1908 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1911 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1914 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1915 new file mhstoresbr.c
1917 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1920 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1921 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1923 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1924 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1926 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1927 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1928 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1930 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1932 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1934 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1935 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1938 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1939 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1941 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1944 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1946 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1948 * Released nmh-0.26.
1950 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1951 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1952 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1953 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1955 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1956 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1957 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1958 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1959 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1961 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1962 But it is not on by default.
1964 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1965 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1967 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1969 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1971 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1973 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1975 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1976 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1978 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1980 * Released nmh-0.25.
1982 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1983 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1984 uses the original name of the library.
1986 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1987 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1990 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1991 list_content and list_debug.
1993 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1995 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1996 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1998 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2000 * Released nmh-0.24.
2002 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2004 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2005 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2007 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2008 large sequence line.
2010 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2012 * Released nmh-0.23.
2014 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2016 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2017 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2018 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2019 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2021 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2022 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2025 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2027 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2029 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2031 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2032 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2034 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2035 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2037 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2038 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2040 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2041 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2043 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2045 * Released nmh-0.22.
2047 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2048 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2050 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2052 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2053 mh-profile(5) man page.
2055 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2056 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2058 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2060 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2062 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2063 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2065 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2067 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2068 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2069 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2071 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2072 source message on the standard input.
2074 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2076 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2077 rather than -rfc934mode.
2079 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2080 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2083 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2084 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2086 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2089 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2091 * Released nmh-0.21.
2093 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2094 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2096 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2099 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2100 to use for text contents.
2102 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2104 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2106 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2108 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2110 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2111 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2113 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2114 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2115 spaces between encoded word are.
2117 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2119 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2120 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2122 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2123 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2124 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2126 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2128 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2129 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2131 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2133 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2135 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2136 ISO-8859-X character set.
2138 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2141 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2142 permissions, not write permissions.
2144 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2145 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2147 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2150 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2152 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2154 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2155 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2157 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2158 message contains valid character set.
2160 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2161 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2163 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2164 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2166 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2167 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2168 between an encoded word and normal text.
2170 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2171 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2173 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2174 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2176 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2179 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2180 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2183 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2184 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2186 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2187 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2189 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2191 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2193 * Released nmh-0.20.
2195 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2197 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2199 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2200 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2201 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2203 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2204 and the To: line was missing.
2206 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2208 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2210 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2212 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2213 watch the POP transaction.
2215 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2216 first, and use it if available.
2218 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2219 first, and use it if available.
2221 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2223 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2225 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2226 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2227 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2230 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2231 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2232 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2234 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2235 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2238 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2240 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2241 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2243 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2245 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2246 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2248 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2249 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2250 message to which you are replying.
2252 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2253 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2254 making group replies.
2256 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2258 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2260 * Released nmh-0.19.
2262 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2263 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2265 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2266 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2267 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2268 to the end of the man page.
2270 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2271 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2272 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2273 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2274 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2275 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2277 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2280 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2281 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2282 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2284 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2285 the next available number above the message number you wish
2288 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2289 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2291 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2292 file sbr/seq_print.c
2294 * flist will now update the current folder.
2296 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2297 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2298 but now undocumented.
2300 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2303 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2304 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2306 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2308 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2309 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2311 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2313 * Released nmh-0.18.
2315 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2316 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2317 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2319 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2320 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2322 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2323 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2324 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2325 previous public/private status.
2327 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2330 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2333 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2334 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2335 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2337 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2338 take option to determine whether it should get current
2339 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2340 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2342 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2344 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2345 wait for stopped processes.
2347 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2348 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2350 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2352 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2354 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2355 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2357 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2358 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2360 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2361 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2362 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2363 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2365 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2368 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2371 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2373 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2374 the debugging output.
2376 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2377 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2379 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2381 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2383 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2384 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2386 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2388 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2389 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2390 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2391 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2392 in the given sequence.
2394 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2395 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2396 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2397 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2398 subdirectories of a given directory.
2400 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2401 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2402 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2404 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2405 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2407 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2409 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2412 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2413 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2414 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2416 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2417 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2418 are calculated at runtime.
2420 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2422 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2424 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2425 about checking for global mh.profile.
2427 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2428 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2429 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2430 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2431 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2432 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2434 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2435 adding message to folder itself.
2437 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2438 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2439 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2442 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2443 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2446 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2447 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2448 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2450 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2451 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2453 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2454 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2455 code to use it yet).
2457 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2459 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2461 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2462 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2464 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2465 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2467 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2469 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2472 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2474 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2476 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2478 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2480 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2481 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2483 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2485 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2487 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2489 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2491 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2493 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2494 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2496 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2497 configuration files.
2499 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2501 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2503 * Released nmh-0.17.
2505 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2507 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2508 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2510 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2513 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2514 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2516 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2517 number of refiled message.
2519 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2521 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2522 for return value of wait().
2524 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2526 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2528 * Released nmh-0.16.
2530 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2532 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2534 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2535 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2536 deal with binary messages, yet).
2538 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2540 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2542 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2543 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2544 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2545 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2546 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2547 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2549 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2550 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2552 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2553 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2555 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2556 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2559 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2561 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2563 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2564 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2567 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2570 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2572 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2573 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2574 which used unsigned chars by default.
2576 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2578 * Released nmh-0.15.
2580 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2581 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
2583 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2585 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2587 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2590 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2591 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2592 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2594 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2595 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2597 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2599 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2600 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2602 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2603 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2604 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2605 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2607 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2608 and put in own subroutine.
2610 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2611 and put in own subroutine.
2613 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2614 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2615 refile.c to use new routine.
2617 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2619 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2621 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2624 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2625 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2626 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2628 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2631 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2632 adding message to sequence.
2634 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2635 corresponding file in sbr.
2637 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2640 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2642 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2643 all selected messages from a sequence.
2645 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2646 selected messages to a sequence.
2648 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2651 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2653 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2654 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2656 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2658 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file
2659 sbr/m_gmsg.c to sbr/m_readfolder.c.
2661 Mon May 5 19:57:11 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2663 * Expanded rcvtty man page, and added small patch from
2664 MH-6.8.4 distribution.

2668 * Released nmh-0.14.
2670 * Comment out configure test and code for tgetent to allocate its
2671 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
2673 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2675 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2676 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2677 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2678 environment variable.
2680 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2681 draft folder facility in nmh.
2683 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
2686 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed

2690 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
2693 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2695 * Released nmh-0.13.
2697 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2698 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2699 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2700 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2703 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2704 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2706 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2708 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2709 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2711 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2713 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2714 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.
2716 Mon Apr 21 02:19:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2718 * Released nmh-0.12.
2720 * Had set_exists and unset_exists macros backwards.

2724 Thu Apr 10 02:39:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2726 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
2727 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
2729 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2730 mp->attrstats with macros.
2732 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2735 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2738 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2739 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2741 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2742 will suppress the display of the message header.
2744 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2746 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2747 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2749 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2751 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2753 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2755 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2756 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2758 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2759 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2761 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2763 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2765 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2766 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2768 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2769 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2771 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2773 * Released nmh-0.10.
2775 Sun Mar 30 21:46:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2777 * Add configure check for <locale.h>. Turn on LOCALE support
2780 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2782 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2783 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2785 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2786 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2788 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2789 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2791 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2793 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2794 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2796 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2798 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
2799 of missing tabs in regex.
2801 Sat Mar 8 01:58:22 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2803 * Released nmh-0.09.
2805 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
2807 * Add configure check for killpg.
2809 * msh.c: include <termios.h> instead of <termio.h> and
2812 * prompter.c: don't include <sys/ioctl.h> anymore.
2814 Thu Mar 6 04:03:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2816 * Added `-mime' and `-nomime' options to `repl'.
2819 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2821 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2823 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2824 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2826 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2828 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2829 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2831 * Released nmh-0.08.
2833 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2834 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2835 locking database itself.
2837 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2839 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2841 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2842 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2845 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2846 rather than mmdf format.
2848 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2849 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2850 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2851 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2853 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2855 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2857 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2860 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2861 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2862 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2864 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2865 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2866 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2868 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2870 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2871 can still easily change this in config.h).
2873 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2874 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2875 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2877 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2879 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2880 than tzset and external timezone variable.
2882 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2884 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.
2886 * When ruserpass was added to LIBOBJS, it was missing
2889 * Released nmh-0.07.
2891 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2893 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2894 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2896 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2897 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2900 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2901 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2903 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2904 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2906 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2908 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2910 * Added configure check for tzset.
2912 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2914 * Released nmh-0.06.
2916 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2917 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2919 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2920 many such machines around anymore.
2922 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2923 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2925 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2926 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2928 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2930 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2931 pre-generated version if necessary.
2933 * Released nmh-0.05.
2935 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2936 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2937 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2938 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2940 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2941 be linked in one pass.
2943 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2945 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2946 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2948 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2950 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2952 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2954 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2955 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2956 become the current folder.
2958 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2960 * Released nmh-0.04.
2962 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2965 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2967 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2968 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2969 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2971 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2973 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2974 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2976 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2978 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2979 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2982 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2983 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2985 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2987 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2988 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2989 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2990 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2991 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2992 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2994 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2996 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2997 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2999 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3000 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3002 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3004 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3005 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3007 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3009 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3010 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3011 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3013 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3015 * Released nmh-0.03.
3017 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3018 .mh_sequence file existed.
3020 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3021 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3023 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3024 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3027 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3029 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3032 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3034 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3035 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3036 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3038 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3040 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3041 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3042 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3044 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3046 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3047 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3049 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3051 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3053 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3054 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3055 directory from where the source code is located.
3057 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3059 * Released nmh-0.02.
3061 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3063 * Split mhook man page into man pages for rcvdist, rcvpack,
3066 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3068 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3069 and sys_nerr directly.
3071 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3073 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3075 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3077 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3079 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3080 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3081 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3082 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3083 rather than in script.
3085 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3087 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3089 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3090 macro defined on Solaris.
3092 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3094 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3095 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3097 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3098 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3099 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3100 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3103 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3105 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3106 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3108 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3111 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3113 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3115 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3116 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3118 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3120 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3121 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3123 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3125 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3126 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3127 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3128 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3129 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3130 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3132 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3134 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3136 * Released nmh-0.01.
3138 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3139 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3140 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3143 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3145 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3148 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3150 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3151 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3153 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3155 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3156 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3157 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3158 script to find_program.
3160 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3162 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3163 speed up -recurse option.
3165 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3166 yet, but it compiles :-)
3168 * Changed default location for install to
3169 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3170 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3171 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3174 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3175 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3176 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
