1 2008-08-08 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
3 * sbr/discard.c, sbr/m_getfld.c, uip/scansbr.c: Add support for
4 DragonFlyBSD stdio (from NetBSD pkgsrc).
6 2008-08-05 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
8 * uip/folder.c: chdir(nmhdir) in main rather than in dodir, which
9 is called many times. Drop the chdir in get_folder_info, which
10 served no purpose at all. If struct stat has d_type (BSD), use
11 that to skip processing (strcmp, stat, and so on) of message
12 files, mostly undoing the slow-down from the last change.
14 * configure.in: Call CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE.
16 * aclocal.m4: Add CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE from
19 2008-08-04 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
21 * uip/folder.c: Simplify dodir/addir/addfold. Dump hacky
22 over-optimization in addir that tried to avoid readdir after all
23 child directories had been read; this was also trying to support
24 symlinks to directories, but would have been failing (because
25 nlink may have gone to 0 with symlinks to directories remaining)
26 had the lstat usage been correct (lstat doesn't fail for normal
27 directories; should have used S_ISLNK).
29 2008-08-03 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
31 * test/setup-test: use 'set -e' so we stop on compile failure.
32 Configure --enable-debug for convenience in debugging.
34 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: bug #23319: rework the way we handle the working
35 directory when invoking the user's shell, so that we don't have
36 issues when the cwd contains a space or shell special character.
37 * test/tests/whatnow/test-attach-detach, test/tests/whatnow/test-cd,
38 test/tests/whatnow/test-ls: test cases for this.
40 * sbr/fmt_compile.c: add 'do { ... } while (0)' wrappers
41 to various multi-statement macros to avoid nasty surprises
42 if the macros are used in if() clauses.
44 * bug #23436: man/scan.man, man/forw.man, man/inc.man,
45 man/mh-chart.man, man/mhmail.man, man/mhshow.man,
46 man/mhstore.man, man/msgchk.man, man/packf.man, man/scan.man:
47 fix minor syntax errors groff warns about.
48 * test/runtest, test/README: allow test cases to report
49 that they have been SKIPped as well as PASS/FAIL
50 * test/tests/manpages/test-manpages - new test which runs groff
51 on the manpages and checks that there are no warnings.
52 * test/runalltests: ignore editor backup files
54 2008-08-03 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
56 * etc/replcomps, etc/replgroupcomps: Trim trailing whitespace from
59 2008-08-03 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
61 * sbr/fmt_compile.c: when doing an if-test on the result
62 of a function which returns a string result, check whether
63 the string is non-empty (as the documentation says we do).
64 Previously we were always testing the integer 'value'. Bug
65 spotted by Eric Gillespie.
66 * test/tests/repl/test-if-str: test case for this bug
68 2008-07-24 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
70 * test/setup-test: Run 'make clean' before building
72 2008-07-24 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
74 * test/runtest: cat test-temp-dir only once. Destroy and create
75 test Mail hierarchy here, so each test has its own independent
78 * test/setup-test: Drop needless pushd/popd, which don't exist in
79 sh anyway. Don't use aclocal, which is part of automake.
80 Don't create Mail hierarchy here (see test/runtest).
82 * test/tests/folder/test-create, tests/folder/test-total: Drop
85 * tests/pick/test-pick: Remove failing no-op test.
87 * test/tests/scan/test-scan: Write expected and actual output to
88 files and diff them. This way, if the output differs, diff
89 provides the FAILing exit code and shows the differences.
91 2008-06-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
92 * man/repl.man, etc/mhl.reply:
93 Add an attribution line when replying to messages.
95 2008-06-02 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
97 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, sbr/done.c, uip/inc.c,
98 uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhlist.c, uip/mhn.c, uip/mhshow.c,
99 uip/mhstore.c, uip/mhtest.c, uip/packf.c, uip/pick.c,
100 uip/rcvdist.c, uip/rcvstore.c, uip/sendsbr.c: when
101 building on gcc, use the noreturn attribute on various
102 functions (should improve code and avoid some spurious
103 'uninitialized variable' warnings).
105 2008-06-01 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
107 * docs/README.developers: update the bits about doing a
108 release announcement, now I've actually done one.
110 2008-05-22 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
112 * uip/scansbr.c: don't use MB_CUR_MAX if we aren't compiled
113 with multibyte support.
115 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: factor out common code for writing ls
116 shell command, and make it do more sensible buffer length
117 checks. Also avoid relying on the return value of sprintf(),
118 as some old systems don't return number of characters written.
120 2008-05-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
122 * sbr/utils.c (mh_xrealloc): don't assume realloc() can
123 handle NULL pointers; some non-POSIX realloc()s can't.
125 * sbr/dtimep.lex: add some table size declarations for the
126 benefit of elderly lexes with small defaults.
128 2008-05-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
130 * sbr/addrsbr.c: removed "err" from conditional, because gcc
131 correctly warned that it would always evaluate as true. It's
132 the address of a static array.
134 2008-05-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
136 * sbr/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.in: Don't use $< in target rules
137 in makefiles, as POSIX says it's only defined in inference rules.
139 2008-05-13 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
141 * configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
142 specified to configure, enable all supported masquerade forms.
143 This allows users to masquerade with the default
144 configuration. That seems to be more worthwhile now than
145 trying to prevent users from using it, especially with
146 single-user installations or those where a user can edit
149 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
151 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
152 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
153 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
154 ruserpass() has a void return type.
156 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
157 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
158 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
159 provide memmove() substitute implementation
161 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
162 source directory' feature
164 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
165 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
167 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
169 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
170 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
171 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
174 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
176 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
177 is the wrong approach.
179 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
180 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
181 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
184 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
185 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
186 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
187 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
188 broken for continued lines from the server.
190 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
192 * Cope with sasl_decode64() returning SASL_CONTINUE, as
193 happens with newer sasl libraries and LOGIN auth.
195 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
197 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
199 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
202 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
204 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
206 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
208 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
209 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
210 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
211 obsolete feature of autoconf
213 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
215 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
216 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
217 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
219 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
221 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
222 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
224 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
226 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
229 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
231 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
232 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
233 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
234 following done() (should never be reached).
236 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
238 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
239 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
241 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
243 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
244 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
246 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
248 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
249 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
250 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
251 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
252 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
253 acconfig.h if you must.
255 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
257 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
258 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
259 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
260 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
262 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
264 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
267 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
269 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
270 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
271 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
272 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
273 have Content-Disposition.
275 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
277 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
280 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
282 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
283 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
285 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
287 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
288 encoded block is empty
290 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
292 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
293 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
294 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
297 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
299 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
300 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
303 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
305 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
306 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
307 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
308 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
311 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
312 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
314 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
316 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
317 function num_digits into utils.c
319 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
321 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
322 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
323 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
325 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
327 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
328 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
329 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
330 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
331 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
332 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
333 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
334 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
336 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
338 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
339 Content-Disposition header.
341 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
343 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
344 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
345 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
346 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
347 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
348 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
349 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
350 users to easily accomodate that by adding
351 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
353 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
355 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
356 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
358 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
360 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
362 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
363 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
365 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
366 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
368 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
370 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
371 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
372 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
373 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
374 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
377 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
379 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
380 widths, restoring right justification feature
382 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
384 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
385 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
386 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
388 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
391 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
393 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
394 handling multi column characters.
396 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
398 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
400 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
402 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
403 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
406 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
408 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
410 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
412 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
415 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
417 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
420 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
422 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
423 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
424 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
425 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
427 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
429 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
430 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
431 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
432 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
433 where configure's autodetection fails.
435 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
437 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
438 configure script change.
440 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
442 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
443 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
444 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
447 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
449 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
450 the context is only read once.
452 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
454 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
455 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
457 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
459 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
460 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
462 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
463 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
466 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
467 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
470 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
472 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
473 vi isn't found during build.
475 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
477 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
478 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
480 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
481 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
482 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
484 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
486 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
487 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
489 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
490 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
491 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
492 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
495 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
496 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
497 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
499 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
500 entry in the context file.
502 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
504 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
505 problems on some systems
507 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
508 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
510 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
512 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
513 sendmail isn't found during build.
515 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
517 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
519 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
521 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
522 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
524 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
525 references to the web page and mailing list locations
527 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
528 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
530 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
533 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
535 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
536 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
537 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
539 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
540 was configured with --enable-apop.
542 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
543 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
544 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
546 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
547 new versions of flex.
549 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
550 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
551 doesn't guess wrongly.
553 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
555 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
556 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
558 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
559 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
561 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
562 files with numbers as names
564 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
566 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
568 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
570 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
572 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
573 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
575 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
577 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
580 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
581 test/report error writing to stdout
583 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
585 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
587 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
588 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
589 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
591 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
592 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
593 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
595 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
597 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
598 character set used by the current locale
600 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
601 message's filename overflows an int when converted
603 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
604 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
606 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
608 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
611 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
613 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
614 from Michael Richardson.
616 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
617 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
619 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
621 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
622 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
624 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
626 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
627 find sub-parts of the specified part
629 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
631 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
632 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
633 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
634 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
635 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
636 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
637 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
640 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
642 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
643 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
644 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
647 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
648 refiling with -src option.
650 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
652 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
654 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
656 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
657 mailpath being overwritten.
659 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
661 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
662 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
663 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
664 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
665 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
666 reinitializes the tmp file string.
668 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
669 if a format string was read from the profile.
671 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
672 path for the external hook.
674 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
676 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
677 another location for ndbm.
679 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
681 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
683 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
685 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
688 136976 - Handle binary content messages
689 143427 - mh-format.man typo
690 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
691 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
692 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
693 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
694 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
695 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
696 181867 - typo for nmh.man
698 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
700 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
701 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
702 contitional code which will result in cached data to
703 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
704 and parse on the first use.
705 * Remove some unused flag bits.
707 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
709 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
710 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
712 #578 - repl leaks umask
713 #1393 - sortm core dumps
714 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
715 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
716 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
718 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
719 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
721 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
723 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
724 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
726 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
728 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
729 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
730 to docs/README.about.
732 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
734 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
736 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
737 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
738 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
739 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
742 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
744 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
745 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
746 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
747 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
748 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
749 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
752 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
753 summary configure prints out.
755 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
756 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
757 subjectively more readable) format.
759 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
761 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
764 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
766 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
767 19xx when it's not necessary.
769 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
771 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
772 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
775 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
776 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
777 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
778 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
779 the man pages correctly.
781 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
783 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
785 * Finished manpages ali-prev
787 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
788 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
789 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
792 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
793 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
794 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
795 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
797 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
799 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
800 the formatting rules I've been using.
804 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
806 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
807 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
808 used in the manpages.
810 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
811 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
812 read in the contents of the file as the variable
815 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
816 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
817 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
818 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
819 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
820 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
821 bold flags and italicized parameters.
823 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
825 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
826 --with-locking option.
828 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
829 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
830 information was not being communicated to the
831 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
832 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
833 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
834 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
835 undefined symbols problems.
837 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
838 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
839 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
840 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
841 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
842 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
843 for a genuine krb4 installation.
845 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
847 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
848 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
850 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
852 * Made a new ./configure option called
853 "--with-locking" that allows the file
854 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
855 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
857 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
858 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
859 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
860 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
861 the user that these are the valid options, and
862 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
865 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
867 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
868 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
869 committed to supporting flex only, since
870 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
871 string, as well as other problems documented
872 below and on nmh-workers.
874 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
875 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
876 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
879 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
880 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
882 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
884 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
885 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
886 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
888 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
890 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
891 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
893 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
895 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
896 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
897 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
898 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
899 couldn't correctly identify them.
901 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
903 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
904 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
905 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
906 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
907 not depending on an external archive.
909 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
910 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
911 mts/generic is no longer built.
913 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
915 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
916 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
917 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
918 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
919 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
920 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
921 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
922 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
924 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
926 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
927 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
930 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
932 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
933 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
934 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
937 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
938 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
939 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
940 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
942 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
943 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
944 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
945 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
946 merged into the smtp code).
948 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
949 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
950 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
953 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
954 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
955 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
956 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
957 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
958 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
959 in the appropriate Makefile.in
961 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
963 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
964 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
965 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
966 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
967 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
968 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
969 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
970 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
971 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
972 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
973 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
975 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
977 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
978 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
979 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
980 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
981 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
982 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
983 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
984 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
985 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
987 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
989 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
990 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
993 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
995 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
996 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
998 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1000 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
1001 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
1002 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
1003 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
1005 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1007 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
1008 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
1009 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
1010 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
1011 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
1013 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
1014 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
1016 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
1018 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1020 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
1021 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
1022 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
1023 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
1025 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
1026 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
1027 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
1028 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
1030 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
1031 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
1032 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
1033 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
1035 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
1036 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
1037 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
1039 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
1041 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
1042 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
1043 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
1044 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
1045 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
1046 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
1049 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
1050 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
1052 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
1053 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
1055 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1057 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
1059 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1061 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
1062 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
1063 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
1064 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
1066 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1068 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
1069 be easily changed from "," to "#".
1071 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
1073 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
1075 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
1076 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
1079 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1081 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
1082 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
1083 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
1084 but not for the subsequent data stream.
1086 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1088 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
1089 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
1090 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
1091 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
1092 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
1094 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1096 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
1097 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
1099 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
1100 cat, also define lorder as echo.
1102 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
1104 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1106 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
1107 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
1108 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
1110 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1112 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
1115 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
1116 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
1118 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1120 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
1121 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
1123 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1125 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
1126 inc does not need to be setgid.
1128 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1130 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
1131 library, as found on Debian systems.
1133 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
1135 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1137 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
1138 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
1139 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
1140 case-insensitivity flag.
1142 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1144 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
1145 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
1147 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1149 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1150 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1151 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1152 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1153 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1154 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1155 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1156 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1157 getting moved aside).
1159 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1160 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1162 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1164 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1165 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1166 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1167 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1168 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1169 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1170 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1171 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1172 the prototype, but never sets it.
1174 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1175 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1176 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1177 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1178 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1179 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1181 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1182 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1183 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1184 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1185 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1187 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1189 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1190 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1193 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1194 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1195 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1196 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1197 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1198 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1199 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1201 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1203 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1205 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1206 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1207 this works on other systems.
1209 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1211 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1212 checks for write failures.
1214 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1216 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1218 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1221 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1223 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1225 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1227 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1228 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1231 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1233 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1234 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1235 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1236 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1238 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1240 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1241 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1244 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1245 as well as Makefiles.
1247 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1249 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1250 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1251 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1252 should make maintainability easier.
1254 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1255 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1256 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1257 whatever you know works.
1259 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1261 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1262 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1263 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1265 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1266 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1267 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1268 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1270 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1271 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1272 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1274 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1275 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1276 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1277 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1278 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1280 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1281 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1282 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1283 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1284 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1285 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1286 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1287 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1288 from the BSD version.
1290 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1291 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1292 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1294 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1295 in ruserpass.c also.
1297 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1300 This happens on solaris:
1303 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1304 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1308 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1310 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1311 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1313 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1315 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1316 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1317 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1318 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1319 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1320 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1321 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1322 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1323 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1324 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1325 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1327 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1328 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1329 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1330 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1331 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1332 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1335 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1336 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1337 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1338 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1339 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1341 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1342 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1344 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1346 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1347 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1348 to stdin, such as exmh.
1350 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1351 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1352 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1355 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1357 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1358 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1359 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1360 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1361 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1362 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1363 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1365 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1367 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1368 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1370 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1372 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1373 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1375 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1377 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1380 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1381 along with any -host or -user option.
1383 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1385 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1387 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1388 process was fresh in my mind.
1390 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1392 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1393 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1395 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1397 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1399 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1402 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1403 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1404 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1405 part of the program's name.
1407 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1408 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1411 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1413 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1414 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1415 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1416 single-character format would cause programs using this
1417 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1418 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1419 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1420 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1423 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1425 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1426 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1427 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1428 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1429 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1430 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1432 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1433 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1434 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1435 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1436 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1437 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1438 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1439 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1441 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1442 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1443 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1444 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1445 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1446 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1447 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1448 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1449 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1450 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1452 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1454 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1455 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1457 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1458 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1460 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1465 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1467 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1468 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1469 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1470 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1472 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1473 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1474 problem in the routine.
1476 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1478 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1479 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1481 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1482 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1483 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1486 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1488 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1489 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1490 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1491 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1492 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1493 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1494 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1495 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1496 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1497 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1499 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1501 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1502 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1503 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1504 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1505 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1506 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1507 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1508 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1509 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1510 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1511 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1512 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1514 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1515 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1516 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1517 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1518 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1520 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1523 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1525 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1526 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1527 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1528 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1531 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1533 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1535 * Applied, after some finessing,
1536 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1538 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1540 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1542 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1543 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1544 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1545 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1547 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1549 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1550 forgetting to do so!).
1552 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1553 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1554 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1555 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1556 arguments to enable all three types.
1558 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1559 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1561 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1562 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1563 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1564 updated copy of mts.conf.
1566 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1568 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1569 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1570 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1572 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1574 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1576 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1577 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1578 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1580 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1581 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1582 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1584 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1585 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1586 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1588 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1590 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1592 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1594 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1596 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1597 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1599 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1600 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1601 certain suffix to run properly.
1603 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1604 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1605 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1607 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1608 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1609 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1610 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1611 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1612 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1613 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1615 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1617 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1618 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1619 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1620 until some year far in the future).
1622 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1624 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1626 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1627 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1629 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1630 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1633 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1635 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1636 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1637 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1638 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1639 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1640 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1642 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1644 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1646 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1647 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1648 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1650 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1651 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1652 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1653 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1654 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1655 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1658 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1659 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1660 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1661 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1662 of masquerading individually.
1664 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1665 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1666 GECOS field delimiters.
1668 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1670 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1671 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1672 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1673 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1674 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1675 and explaining the feature.
1677 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1679 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1680 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1683 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1684 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1685 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1687 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1688 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1689 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1690 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1692 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1693 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1694 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1697 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1699 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1700 code to be executed.
1702 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1704 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1706 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1707 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1708 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1709 quotes embedded in them.
1711 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1713 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1714 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1715 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1716 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1717 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1718 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1719 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1722 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1723 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1724 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1725 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1726 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1728 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1730 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1732 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1733 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1734 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1735 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1737 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1740 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1742 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1744 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1746 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1747 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1748 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1750 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1753 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1755 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1756 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1757 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1758 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1759 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1760 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1762 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1763 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1765 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1767 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1770 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1772 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1773 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1774 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1777 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1778 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1779 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1780 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1781 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1782 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1783 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1784 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1785 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1786 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1787 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1788 processing that post has).
1790 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1792 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1793 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1794 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1795 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1796 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1797 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1800 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1802 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1804 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1806 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1808 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1809 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1811 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1814 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1816 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1817 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1818 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1821 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1823 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1824 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1825 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1826 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1827 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1828 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1830 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1832 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1834 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1836 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1837 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1838 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1839 caught again. This works for now.
1841 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1843 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1845 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1846 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1848 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1850 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1851 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1853 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1855 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1857 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1859 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1860 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1862 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1864 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1865 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1866 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1867 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1868 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1871 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1873 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1874 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1875 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1877 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1878 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1881 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1883 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1884 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1885 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1887 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1889 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1890 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1892 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1894 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1897 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1898 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1900 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1901 macros, regardless of platform.
1903 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1904 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1906 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1907 with x-conversions=gzip.
1909 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1911 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1914 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1915 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1916 implicit definition of ioctl().
1918 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1919 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1920 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1921 want to mess with them.
1923 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1925 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1926 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1928 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1929 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1931 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1932 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1933 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1935 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1936 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1937 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1939 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1940 function initgroups.
1942 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1945 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1946 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1949 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1950 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1953 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1954 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1958 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1960 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1961 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1962 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1964 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1965 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1967 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1969 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1971 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1972 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1973 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1974 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1976 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1977 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1979 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1981 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1983 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1985 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1986 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1988 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1990 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1991 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1993 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1994 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1995 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1996 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1998 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1999 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
2001 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2003 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
2004 substitute it for mktemp if available.
2006 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2008 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
2009 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
2012 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
2014 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
2016 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
2018 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
2019 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
2021 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
2022 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
2023 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
2025 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
2026 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
2027 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
2029 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
2030 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
2031 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2033 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
2034 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
2037 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
2038 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2040 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
2041 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2043 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
2044 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2046 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
2047 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
2048 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2050 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
2051 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2053 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
2054 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
2055 <elleron@servtech.com>.
2057 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
2058 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
2061 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
2062 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
2064 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
2065 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
2066 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
2067 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
2069 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
2070 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
2072 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2076 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
2077 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
2078 would not be changed.
2080 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
2081 one from the Apache web server.
2083 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
2084 (this should have been done a long time ago).
2086 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
2087 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
2088 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
2090 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
2092 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
2094 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
2095 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
2098 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
2099 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
2100 removes a bad race condition.
2102 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
2105 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
2106 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
2107 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
2109 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
2110 sequence information.
2112 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
2113 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
2115 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
2118 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
2121 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
2123 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
2124 interpret 034 as octal.
2126 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
2128 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
2129 mhstore, and mhbuild.
2131 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
2132 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
2134 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
2135 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
2137 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
2138 in the c_cefile structure when building.
2140 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
2141 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
2143 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
2144 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
2145 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
2147 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2148 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2149 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2151 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2153 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2155 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2156 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2159 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2161 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2162 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2164 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2165 header field information.
2167 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2168 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2170 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2171 values when parsing a content.
2173 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2174 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2176 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2177 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2179 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2180 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2182 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2183 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2185 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2187 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2189 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2191 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2193 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2194 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2197 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2198 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2200 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2201 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2202 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2203 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2204 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2205 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2208 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2210 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2211 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2212 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2214 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2215 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2217 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2219 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2220 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2221 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2222 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2224 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2225 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2228 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2229 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2230 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2231 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2234 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2236 * Released nmh-0.27.
2238 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2239 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2241 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2242 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2243 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2244 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2247 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2248 mhbuild returns an error.
2250 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2251 rename the draft file.
2253 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2254 use a global variable.
2256 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2257 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2259 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2260 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2262 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2263 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2264 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2266 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2267 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2269 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2270 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2273 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2274 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2277 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2278 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2280 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2281 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2282 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2284 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2285 to new function output_content_folder.
2287 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2288 new function output_content_file.
2290 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2291 to new function parse_format_string.
2293 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2294 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2295 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2296 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2298 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2299 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2300 message/external file from ftp.
2302 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2303 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2304 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2306 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2307 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2310 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2313 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2314 new file mhstoresbr.c
2316 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2319 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2320 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2322 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2323 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2325 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2326 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2327 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2329 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2331 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2333 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2334 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2337 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2338 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2340 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2343 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2345 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2347 * Released nmh-0.26.
2349 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2350 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2351 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2352 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2354 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2355 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2356 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2357 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2358 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2360 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2361 But it is not on by default.
2363 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2364 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2366 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2368 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2370 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2372 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2374 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2375 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2377 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2379 * Released nmh-0.25.
2381 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2382 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2383 uses the original name of the library.
2385 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2386 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2389 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2390 list_content and list_debug.
2392 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2394 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2395 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2397 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2399 * Released nmh-0.24.
2401 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2403 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2404 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2406 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2407 large sequence line.
2409 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2411 * Released nmh-0.23.
2413 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2415 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2416 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2417 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2418 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2420 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2421 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2424 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2426 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2428 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2430 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2431 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2433 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2434 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2436 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2437 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2439 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2440 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2442 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2444 * Released nmh-0.22.
2446 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2447 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2449 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2451 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2452 mh-profile(5) man page.
2454 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2455 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2457 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2459 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2461 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2462 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2464 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2466 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2467 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2468 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2470 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2471 source message on the standard input.
2473 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2475 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2476 rather than -rfc934mode.
2478 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2479 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2482 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2483 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2485 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2488 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2490 * Released nmh-0.21.
2492 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2493 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2495 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2498 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2499 to use for text contents.
2501 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2503 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2505 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2507 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2509 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2510 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2512 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2513 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2514 spaces between encoded word are.
2516 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2518 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2519 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2521 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2522 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2523 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2525 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2527 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2528 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2530 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2532 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2534 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2535 ISO-8859-X character set.
2537 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2540 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2541 permissions, not write permissions.
2543 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2544 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2546 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2549 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2551 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2553 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2554 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2556 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2557 message contains valid character set.
2559 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2560 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2562 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2563 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2565 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2566 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2567 between an encoded word and normal text.
2569 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2570 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2572 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2573 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2575 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2578 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2579 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2582 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2583 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2585 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2586 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2588 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2590 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2592 * Released nmh-0.20.
2594 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2596 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2598 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2599 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2600 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2602 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2603 and the To: line was missing.
2605 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2607 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2609 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2611 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2612 watch the POP transaction.
2614 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2615 first, and use it if available.
2617 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2618 first, and use it if available.
2620 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2622 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2624 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2625 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2626 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2629 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2630 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2631 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2633 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2634 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2637 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2639 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2640 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2642 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2644 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2645 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2647 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2648 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2649 message to which you are replying.
2651 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2652 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2653 making group replies.
2655 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2657 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2659 * Released nmh-0.19.
2661 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2662 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2664 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2665 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2666 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2667 to the end of the man page.
2669 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2670 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2671 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2672 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2673 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2674 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2676 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2679 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2680 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2681 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2683 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2684 the next available number above the message number you wish
2687 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2688 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2690 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2691 file sbr/seq_print.c
2693 * flist will now update the current folder.
2695 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2696 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2697 but now undocumented.
2699 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2702 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2703 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2705 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2707 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2708 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2710 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2712 * Released nmh-0.18.
2714 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2715 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2716 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2718 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2719 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2721 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2722 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2723 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2724 previous public/private status.
2726 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2729 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2732 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2733 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2734 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2736 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2737 take option to determine whether it should get current
2738 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2739 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2741 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2743 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2744 wait for stopped processes.
2746 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2747 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2749 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2751 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2753 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2754 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2756 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2757 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2759 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2760 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2761 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2762 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2764 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2767 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2770 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2772 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2773 the debugging output.
2775 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2776 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2778 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2780 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2782 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2783 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2785 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2787 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2788 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2789 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2790 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2791 in the given sequence.
2793 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2794 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2795 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2796 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2797 subdirectories of a given directory.
2799 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2800 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2801 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2803 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2804 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2806 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2808 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2811 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2812 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2813 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2815 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2816 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2817 are calculated at runtime.
2819 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2827 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2828 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2829 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2830 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2831 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2833 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2834 adding message to folder itself.
2836 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2837 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2838 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2841 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2842 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2845 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2846 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2847 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2849 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2850 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2852 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2853 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2854 code to use it yet).
2856 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2858 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2860 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2861 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2863 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2864 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2866 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2868 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2871 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2886 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2888 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2890 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2892 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2893 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2895 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2896 configuration files.
2898 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.

2904 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2906 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2907 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2909 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2912 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2913 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2915 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2916 number of refiled message.
2918 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2920 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2921 for return value of wait().
2923 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2925 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2927 * Released nmh-0.16.

2931 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2933 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2934 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2935 deal with binary messages, yet).
2937 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2939 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2941 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2942 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2943 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2944 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2945 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2946 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2948 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2949 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2951 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2952 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2954 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2955 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2958 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2960 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".

2963 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2966 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2969 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2971 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2972 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2973 which used unsigned chars by default.

2977 * Released nmh-0.15.
2979 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2984 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2986 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2989 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2990 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2991 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2993 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2994 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2996 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2998 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2999 they conflict with defines on AIX.
3001 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
3002 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
3003 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
3004 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
3006 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
3007 and put in own subroutine.
3009 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
3010 and put in own subroutine.
3012 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
3013 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
3014 refile.c to use new routine.
3016 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3018 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
3020 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
3023 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
3024 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
3025 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
3027 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
3030 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
3031 adding message to sequence.
3033 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
3034 corresponding file in sbr.
3036 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
3039 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.

3042 all selected messages from a sequence.
3044 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
3045 selected messages to a sequence.
3047 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
3050 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3052 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
3053 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
3055 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3057 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

3094 * Released nmh-0.13.
3096 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
3097 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
3098 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
3099 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
3102 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
3103 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
3105 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3107 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
3108 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
3110 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3112 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

3134 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
3137 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
3138 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
3140 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
3141 will suppress the display of the message header.
3143 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
3145 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
3146 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
3148 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
3150 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
3152 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
3154 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
3155 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3157 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3158 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3160 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3162 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3164 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3165 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3167 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3168 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
3170 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3172 * Released nmh-0.10.

3179 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3181 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
3182 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3184 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3185 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3187 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
3188 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
3190 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3192 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3193 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3195 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3197 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

3218 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3220 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
3222 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
3223 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
3225 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3227 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3228 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3230 * Released nmh-0.08.
3232 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3233 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of

3244 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3245 rather than mmdf format.
3247 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3248 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3249 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3250 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3252 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3254 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3256 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3259 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3260 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3261 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3263 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3264 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3265 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3267 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3269 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3270 can still easily change this in config.h).
3272 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3273 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3274 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3276 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3278 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3290 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3292 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
3293 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3295 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3296 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3299 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3300 built-in FTP client in mhn.
3302 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
3303 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
3305 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
3307 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
3309 * Added configure check for tzset.
3311 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3313 * Released nmh-0.06.
3315 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3316 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3318 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3319 many such machines around anymore.
3321 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3322 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3324 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3325 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3327 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3329 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3330 pre-generated version if necessary.
3332 * Released nmh-0.05.
3334 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3335 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3336 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3337 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3339 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3340 be linked in one pass.
3342 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3344 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3345 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3347 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3349 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3351 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3353 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3354 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3355 become the current folder.
3357 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3359 * Released nmh-0.04.
3361 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3364 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3366 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3367 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3368 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3370 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3372 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3373 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3375 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3377 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3378 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3381 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3382 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.

3386 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3387 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3388 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3389 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3390 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3391 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3393 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3395 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3396 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3398 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3399 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3401 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3403 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3404 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3406 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3408 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3409 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3410 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3412 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3414 * Released nmh-0.03.
3416 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3417 .mh_sequence file existed.
3419 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3420 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3422 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3423 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3426 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3428 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3431 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3433 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3434 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3435 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3437 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3439 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3440 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3441 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3443 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3445 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3446 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3448 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3450 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3452 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3453 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3454 directory from where the source code is located.
3456 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3458 * Released nmh-0.02.
3460 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

3465 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3467 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3468 and sys_nerr directly.
3470 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3472 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3474 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3476 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3478 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3479 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3480 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3481 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3482 rather than in script.
3484 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3486 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3488 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3489 macro defined on Solaris.
3491 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3493 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3494 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3496 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3497 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3498 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3499 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3502 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3504 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3505 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3507 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3510 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3512 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3514 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3515 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3517 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3519 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3520 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3522 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3524 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3525 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3526 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3527 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3528 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3529 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3531 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3533 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3535 * Released nmh-0.01.
3537 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3538 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3539 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3542 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3544 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3547 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3549 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3550 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3552 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3554 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3555 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3556 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3557 script to find_program.
3559 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3561 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3562 speed up -recurse option.
3564 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3565 yet, but it compiles :-)
3567 * Changed default location for install to
3568 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3569 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3570 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3573 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3574 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3575 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
