3 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
4 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
6 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
7 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
9 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
10 files with numbers as names
12 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
14 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
16 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
18 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
20 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
21 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
23 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
25 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
28 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
29 test/report error writing to stdout
31 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
33 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
35 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
36 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
37 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
39 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
40 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
41 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
43 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
45 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
46 character set used by the current locale
48 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
49 message's filename overflows an int when converted
51 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
52 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
54 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
56 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
59 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
61 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
62 from Michael Richardson.
64 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
65 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
67 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
69 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
70 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
72 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
74 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
75 find sub-parts of the specified part
77 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
79 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
80 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
81 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
82 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
83 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
84 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
85 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
88 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
90 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
91 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
92 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
95 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
96 refiling with -src option.
98 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
100 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
102 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
104 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
105 mailpath being overwritten.
107 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
109 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
110 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
111 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
112 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
113 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
114 reinitializes the tmp file string.
116 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
117 if a format string was read from the profile.
119 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
120 path for the external hook.
122 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
124 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
125 another location for ndbm.
127 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
129 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
131 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
133 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
136 136976 - Handle binary content messages
137 143427 - mh-format.man typo
138 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
139 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
140 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
141 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
142 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
143 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
144 181867 - typo for nmh.man
146 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
148 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
149 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
150 contitional code which will result in cached data to
151 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
152 and parse on the first use.
153 * Remove some unused flag bits.
155 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
157 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
158 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
160 #578 - repl leaks umask
161 #1393 - sortm core dumps
162 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
163 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
164 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
166 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
167 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
169 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
171 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
172 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
174 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
176 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
177 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
178 to docs/README.about.
180 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
182 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
184 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
185 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
186 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
187 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
190 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
192 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
193 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
194 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
195 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
196 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
197 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
200 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
201 summary configure prints out.
203 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
204 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
205 subjectively more readable) format.
207 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
209 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
212 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
214 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
215 19xx when it's not necessary.
217 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
219 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
220 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
223 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
224 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
225 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
226 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
227 the man pages correctly.
229 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
231 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
233 * Finished manpages ali-prev
235 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
236 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
237 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
240 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
241 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
242 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
243 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
245 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
247 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
248 the formatting rules I've been using.
252 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
254 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
255 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
256 used in the manpages.
258 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
259 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
260 read in the contents of the file as the variable
263 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
264 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
265 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
266 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
267 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
268 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
269 bold flags and italicized parameters.
271 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
273 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
274 --with-locking option.
276 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
277 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
278 information was not being communicated to the
279 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
280 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
281 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
282 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
283 undefined symbols problems.
285 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
286 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
287 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
288 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
289 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
290 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
291 for a genuine krb4 installation.
293 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
295 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
296 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
298 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
300 * Made a new ./configure option called
301 "--with-locking" that allows the file
302 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
303 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
305 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
306 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
307 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
308 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
309 the user that these are the valid options, and
310 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
313 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
315 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
316 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
317 committed to supporting flex only, since
318 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
319 string, as well as other problems documented
320 below and on nmh-workers.
322 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
323 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
324 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
327 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
328 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
330 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
332 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
333 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
334 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
336 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
338 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
339 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
341 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
343 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
344 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
345 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
346 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
347 couldn't correctly identify them.
349 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
351 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
352 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
353 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
354 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
355 not depending on an external archive.
357 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
358 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
359 mts/generic is no longer built.
361 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
363 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
364 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
365 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
366 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
367 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
368 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
369 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
370 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
372 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
374 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
375 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
378 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
380 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
381 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
382 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
385 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
386 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
387 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
388 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
390 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
391 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
392 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
393 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
394 merged into the smtp code).
396 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
397 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
398 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
401 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
402 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
403 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
404 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
405 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
406 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
407 in the appropriate Makefile.in
409 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
411 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
412 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
413 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
414 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
415 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
416 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
417 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
418 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
419 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
420 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
421 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
423 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
425 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
426 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
427 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
428 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
429 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
430 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
431 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
432 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
433 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
435 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
437 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
438 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
441 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
443 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
444 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
446 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
448 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
449 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
450 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
451 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
453 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
455 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
456 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
457 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
458 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
459 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
461 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
462 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
464 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
466 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
468 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
469 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
470 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
471 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
473 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
474 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
475 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
476 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
478 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
479 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
480 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
481 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
483 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
484 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
485 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
487 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
489 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
490 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
491 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
492 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
493 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
494 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
497 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
498 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
500 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
501 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
503 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
505 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
507 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
509 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
510 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
511 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
512 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
514 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
516 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
517 be easily changed from "," to "#".
519 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
521 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
523 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
524 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
527 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
529 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
530 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
531 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
532 but not for the subsequent data stream.
534 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
536 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
537 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
538 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
539 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
540 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
542 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
544 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
545 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
547 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
548 cat, also define lorder as echo.
550 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
552 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
554 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
555 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
556 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
558 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
560 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
563 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
564 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
566 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
568 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
569 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
571 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
573 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
574 inc does not need to be setgid.
576 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
578 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
579 library, as found on Debian systems.
581 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
583 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
585 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
586 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
587 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
588 case-insensitivity flag.
590 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
592 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
593 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
595 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
597 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
598 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
599 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
600 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
601 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
602 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
603 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
604 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
605 getting moved aside).
607 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
608 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
610 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
612 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
613 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
614 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
615 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
616 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
617 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
618 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
619 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
620 the prototype, but never sets it.
622 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
623 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
624 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
625 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
626 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
627 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
629 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
630 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
631 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
632 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
633 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
635 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
637 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
638 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
641 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
642 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
643 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
644 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
645 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
646 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
647 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
649 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
651 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
653 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
654 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
655 this works on other systems.
657 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
659 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
660 checks for write failures.
662 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
664 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
666 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
669 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
671 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
673 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
675 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
676 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
679 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
681 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
682 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
683 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
684 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
686 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
688 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
689 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
692 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
693 as well as Makefiles.
695 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
697 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
698 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
699 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
700 should make maintainability easier.
702 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
703 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
704 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
705 whatever you know works.
707 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
709 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
710 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
711 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
713 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
714 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
715 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
716 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
718 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
719 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
720 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
722 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
723 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
724 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
725 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
726 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
728 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
729 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
730 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
731 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
732 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
733 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
734 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
735 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
736 from the BSD version.
738 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
739 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
740 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
742 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
745 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
748 This happens on solaris:
751 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
752 No manual entry for mts.conf.
756 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
758 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
759 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
761 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
763 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
764 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
765 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
766 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
767 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
768 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
769 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
770 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
771 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
772 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
773 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
775 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
776 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
777 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
778 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
779 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
780 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
783 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
784 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
785 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
786 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
787 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
789 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
790 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
792 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
794 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
795 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
796 to stdin, such as exmh.
798 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
799 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
800 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
803 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
805 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
806 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
807 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
808 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
809 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
810 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
811 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
813 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
815 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
816 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
818 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
820 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
821 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
823 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
825 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
828 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
829 along with any -host or -user option.
831 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
833 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
835 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
836 process was fresh in my mind.
838 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
840 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
841 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
843 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
845 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
847 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
850 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
851 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
852 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
853 part of the program's name.
855 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
856 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
859 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
861 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
862 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
863 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
864 single-character format would cause programs using this
865 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
866 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
867 when the format string was one character. This eventually
868 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
871 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
873 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
874 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
875 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
876 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
877 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
878 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
880 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
881 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
882 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
883 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
884 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
885 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
886 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
887 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
889 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
890 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
891 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
892 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
893 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
894 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
895 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
896 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
897 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
898 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
900 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
902 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
903 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
905 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
906 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
908 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
913 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
915 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
916 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
917 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
918 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
920 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
921 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
922 problem in the routine.
924 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
926 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
927 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
929 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
930 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
931 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
934 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
936 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
937 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
938 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
939 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
940 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
941 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
942 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
943 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
944 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
945 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
947 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
949 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
950 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
951 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
952 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
953 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
954 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
955 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
956 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
957 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
958 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
959 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
960 interesting than a duplication of the default.
962 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
963 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
964 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
965 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
966 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
968 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
971 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
973 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
974 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
975 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
976 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
979 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
981 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
983 * Applied, after some finessing,
984 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
986 Here's a patch that allows you to add
988 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
990 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
991 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
992 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
993 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
995 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
997 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
998 forgetting to do so!).
1000 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1001 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1002 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1003 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1004 arguments to enable all three types.
1006 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1007 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1009 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1010 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1011 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1012 updated copy of mts.conf.
1014 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1016 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1017 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1018 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1020 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1022 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1024 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1025 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1026 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1028 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1029 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1030 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1032 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1033 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1034 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1036 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1038 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1040 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1042 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1044 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1045 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1047 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1048 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1049 certain suffix to run properly.
1051 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1052 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1053 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1055 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1056 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1057 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1058 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1059 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1060 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1061 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1063 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1065 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1066 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1067 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1068 until some year far in the future).
1070 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1072 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1074 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1075 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1077 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1078 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1081 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1083 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1084 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1085 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1086 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1087 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1088 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1090 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1092 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1094 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1095 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1096 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1098 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1099 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1100 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1101 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1102 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1103 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1106 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1107 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1108 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1109 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1110 of masquerading individually.
1112 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1113 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1114 GECOS field delimiters.
1116 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1118 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1119 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1120 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1121 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1122 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1123 and explaining the feature.
1125 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1127 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1128 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1131 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1132 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1133 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1135 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1136 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1137 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1138 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1140 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1141 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1142 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1145 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1147 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1148 code to be executed.
1150 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1152 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1154 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1155 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1156 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1157 quotes embedded in them.
1159 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1161 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1162 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1163 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1164 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1165 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1166 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1167 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1170 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1171 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1172 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1173 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1174 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1176 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1178 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1180 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1181 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1182 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1183 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1185 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1188 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1190 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1192 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1194 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1195 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1196 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1198 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1201 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1203 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1204 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1205 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1206 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1207 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1208 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1210 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1211 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1213 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1215 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1218 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1220 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1221 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1222 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1225 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1226 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1227 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1228 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1229 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1230 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1231 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1232 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1233 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1234 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1235 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1236 processing that post has).
1238 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1240 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1241 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1242 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1243 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1244 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1245 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1248 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1250 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1252 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1254 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1256 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1257 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1259 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1262 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1264 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1265 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1266 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1269 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1271 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1272 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1273 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1274 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1275 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1276 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1278 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1280 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1282 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1284 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1285 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1286 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1287 caught again. This works for now.
1289 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1291 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1293 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1294 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1296 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1298 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1299 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1301 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1303 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1305 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1307 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1308 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1310 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1312 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1313 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1314 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1315 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1316 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1319 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1321 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1322 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1323 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1325 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1326 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1329 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1331 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1332 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1333 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1335 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1337 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1338 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1340 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1342 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1345 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1346 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1348 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1349 macros, regardless of platform.
1351 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1352 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1354 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1355 with x-conversions=gzip.
1357 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1359 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1362 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1363 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1364 implicit definition of ioctl().
1366 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1367 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1368 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1369 want to mess with them.
1371 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1373 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1374 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1376 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1377 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1379 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1380 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1381 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1383 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1384 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1385 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1387 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1388 function initgroups.
1390 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1393 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1394 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1397 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1398 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1401 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1402 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1406 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1408 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1409 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1410 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1412 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1413 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1415 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1417 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1419 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1420 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1421 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1422 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1424 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1425 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1427 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1429 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1431 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1433 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1434 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1436 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1438 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1439 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1441 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1442 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1443 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1444 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1446 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1447 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1449 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1451 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1452 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1454 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1456 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1457 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1460 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1462 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1464 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1466 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1467 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1469 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1470 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1471 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1473 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1474 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1475 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1477 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1478 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1479 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1481 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1482 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1485 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1486 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1488 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1489 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1491 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1492 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1494 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1495 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1496 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1498 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1499 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1501 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1502 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1503 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1505 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1506 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1509 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1510 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1512 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1513 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1514 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1515 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1517 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1518 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1520 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1524 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1525 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1526 would not be changed.
1528 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1529 one from the Apache web server.
1531 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1532 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1534 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1535 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1536 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1538 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1540 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1542 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1543 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1546 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1547 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1548 removes a bad race condition.
1550 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1553 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1554 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1555 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1557 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1558 sequence information.
1560 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1561 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1563 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1566 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1569 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1571 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1572 interpret 034 as octal.
1574 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1576 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1577 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1579 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1580 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1582 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1583 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1585 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1586 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1588 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1589 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1591 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1592 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1593 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1595 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1596 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1597 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1599 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1601 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1603 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1604 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1607 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1609 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1610 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1612 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1613 header field information.
1615 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1616 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1618 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1619 values when parsing a content.
1621 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1622 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1624 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1625 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1627 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1628 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1630 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1631 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1633 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1635 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1637 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1639 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1641 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1642 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1645 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1646 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1648 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1649 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1650 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1651 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1652 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1653 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1656 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1658 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1659 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1660 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1662 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1663 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1665 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1667 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1668 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1669 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1670 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1672 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1673 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1676 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1677 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1678 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1679 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1682 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1684 * Released nmh-0.27.
1686 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1687 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1689 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1690 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1691 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1692 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1695 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1696 mhbuild returns an error.
1698 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1699 rename the draft file.
1701 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1702 use a global variable.
1704 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1705 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1707 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1708 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1710 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1711 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1712 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1714 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1715 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1717 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1718 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1721 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1722 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1725 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1726 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1728 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1729 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1730 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1732 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1733 to new function output_content_folder.
1735 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1736 new function output_content_file.
1738 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1739 to new function parse_format_string.
1741 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1742 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1743 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1744 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1746 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1747 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1748 message/external file from ftp.
1750 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1751 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1752 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1754 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1755 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1758 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1761 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1762 new file mhstoresbr.c
1764 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1767 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1768 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1770 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1771 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1773 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1774 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1775 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1777 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1779 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1781 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1782 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1785 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1786 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1788 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1791 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1793 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1795 * Released nmh-0.26.
1797 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1798 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1799 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1800 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1802 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1803 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1804 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1805 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1806 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1808 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1809 But it is not on by default.
1811 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1812 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1814 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1816 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1818 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1820 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1822 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1823 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1825 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1827 * Released nmh-0.25.
1829 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1830 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1831 uses the original name of the library.
1833 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1834 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1837 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1838 list_content and list_debug.
1840 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1842 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1843 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1845 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1847 * Released nmh-0.24.
1849 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1851 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1852 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1854 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1855 large sequence line.
1857 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1859 * Released nmh-0.23.
1861 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1863 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1864 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1865 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1866 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1868 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1869 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1872 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1874 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1876 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1878 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1879 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1881 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1882 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1884 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1885 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1887 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1888 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1890 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1892 * Released nmh-0.22.
1894 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1895 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1897 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1899 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1900 mh-profile(5) man page.
1902 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1903 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1905 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1907 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1909 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1910 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1912 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1914 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1915 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1916 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1918 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1919 source message on the standard input.
1921 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1923 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1924 rather than -rfc934mode.
1926 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1927 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1930 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1931 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1933 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1936 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1938 * Released nmh-0.21.
1940 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1941 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1943 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1946 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1947 to use for text contents.
1949 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1951 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1953 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1955 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1957 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1958 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1960 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1961 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1962 spaces between encoded word are.
1964 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1966 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1967 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1969 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1970 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1971 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1973 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1975 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1976 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1978 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1980 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1982 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1983 ISO-8859-X character set.
1985 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1988 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1989 permissions, not write permissions.
1991 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1992 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1994 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1997 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1999 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2001 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2002 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2004 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2005 message contains valid character set.
2007 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2008 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2010 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2011 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2013 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2014 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2015 between an encoded word and normal text.
2017 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2018 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2020 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2021 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2023 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2026 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2027 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2030 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2031 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2033 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2034 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2036 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2038 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2040 * Released nmh-0.20.
2042 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2044 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2046 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2047 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2048 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2050 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2051 and the To: line was missing.
2053 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2055 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2057 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2059 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2060 watch the POP transaction.
2062 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2063 first, and use it if available.
2065 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2066 first, and use it if available.
2068 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2070 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2072 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2073 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2074 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2077 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2078 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2079 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2081 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2082 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2085 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2087 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2088 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2090 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2092 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2093 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2095 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2096 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2097 message to which you are replying.
2099 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2100 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2101 making group replies.
2103 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2105 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2107 * Released nmh-0.19.
2109 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2110 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2112 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2113 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2114 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2115 to the end of the man page.
2117 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2118 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2119 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2120 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2121 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2122 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2124 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2127 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2128 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2129 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2131 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2132 the next available number above the message number you wish
2135 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2136 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2138 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2139 file sbr/seq_print.c
2141 * flist will now update the current folder.
2143 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2144 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2145 but now undocumented.
2147 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2150 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2151 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2153 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2155 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2156 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2158 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2160 * Released nmh-0.18.
2162 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2163 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2164 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2166 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2167 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2169 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2170 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2171 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2172 previous public/private status.
2174 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2177 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2180 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2181 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2182 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2184 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2185 take option to determine whether it should get current
2186 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2187 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2189 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2191 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2192 wait for stopped processes.
2194 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2195 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2197 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2199 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2201 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2202 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2204 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2205 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2207 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2208 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2209 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2210 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2212 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2215 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2218 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2220 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2221 the debugging output.
2223 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2224 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2226 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2228 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2230 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2231 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2233 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2235 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2236 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2237 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2238 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2239 in the given sequence.
2241 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2242 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2243 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2244 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2245 subdirectories of a given directory.
2247 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2248 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2249 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2251 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2252 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2254 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2256 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2259 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2260 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2261 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2263 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2264 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2265 are calculated at runtime.

2277 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2278 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2279 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2281 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2282 adding message to folder itself.
2284 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2285 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2286 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2289 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2290 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2293 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2294 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2295 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2297 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2298 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2300 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2301 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2302 code to use it yet).

2352 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2354 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2355 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".

2360 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2361 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2363 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2364 number of refiled message.
2366 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2368 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2369 for return value of wait().

2379 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2381 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2382 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2383 deal with binary messages, yet).
2385 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2387 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2389 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2390 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2391 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2392 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2393 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2394 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2396 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2397 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2399 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2400 From MH-6.8.4 patch.

2411 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2414 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2417 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2419 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to

2425 * Released nmh-0.15.
2427 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2432 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2434 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2437 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2438 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2439 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2441 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2442 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2444 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2446 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2447 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2449 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2450 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2451 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2452 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2454 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2455 and put in own subroutine.
2457 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2458 and put in own subroutine.

2461 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2462 refile.c to use new routine.
2464 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2466 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2468 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2471 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2472 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2473 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2475 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2478 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2479 adding message to sequence.

2490 all selected messages from a sequence.
2492 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2493 selected messages to a sequence.
2495 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2498 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2500 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2501 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2503 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2505 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2524 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2525 environment variable.
2527 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2528 draft folder facility in nmh.

2542 * Released nmh-0.13.
2544 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2545 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2546 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2547 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2550 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2551 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2553 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2555 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2556 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2558 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2560 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2585 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2586 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2588 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2589 will suppress the display of the message header.
2591 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2593 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2594 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2596 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2598 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2600 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2602 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2603 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2605 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2606 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2608 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2610 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2612 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2613 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2615 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2616 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2618 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2620 * Released nmh-0.10.

2627 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2629 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2630 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2632 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2633 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2635 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2636 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2638 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2640 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2641 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2643 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2645 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
2646 of missing tabs in regex.

2666 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2668 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2670 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2671 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2673 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2675 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2676 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2678 * Released nmh-0.08.
2680 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2681 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2682 locking database itself.
2684 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2686 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2688 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2689 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2692 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2693 rather than mmdf format.
2695 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2696 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2697 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2698 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2700 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2702 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2704 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2707 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2708 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2709 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2711 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2712 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2713 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2715 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2717 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2718 can still easily change this in config.h).
2720 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2721 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2722 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2724 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2726 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

2738 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2740 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2741 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2743 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2744 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2747 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2748 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2750 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2751 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2753 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2755 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2757 * Added configure check for tzset.

2761 * Released nmh-0.06.
2763 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2764 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2766 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2767 many such machines around anymore.
2769 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2770 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2772 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2773 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2775 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2777 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2778 pre-generated version if necessary.
2780 * Released nmh-0.05.
2782 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2783 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2784 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2785 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2787 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2788 be linked in one pass.
2790 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2792 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2793 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2795 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2797 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2799 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2801 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2802 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2803 become the current folder.
2805 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2807 * Released nmh-0.04.
2809 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2812 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2814 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2815 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2816 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2818 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2820 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2821 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2823 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2825 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2826 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2829 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2830 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2832 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2834 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2835 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2836 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2837 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2838 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2839 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2841 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2843 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2844 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2846 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2847 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2849 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2851 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2852 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2854 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2856 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2857 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2858 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2860 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2862 * Released nmh-0.03.
2864 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2865 .mh_sequence file existed.
2867 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2868 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2870 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which

2881 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2882 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2883 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2885 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2887 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2888 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2889 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2891 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2893 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL

2898 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2900 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2901 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2902 directory from where the source code is located.
2904 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2906 * Released nmh-0.02.

2926 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2927 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2928 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path

2932 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2934 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2936 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2937 macro defined on Solaris.
2939 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2941 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2942 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2944 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2945 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2946 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2947 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2950 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2952 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2953 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.

2958 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2960 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2962 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included

2967 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2968 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2970 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2972 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2973 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2974 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2975 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2976 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2977 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2979 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2981 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2983 * Released nmh-0.01.
2985 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2986 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2987 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2990 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2992 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2995 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2997 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2998 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3000 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3002 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3003 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3004 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3005 script to find_program.
3007 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3009 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3010 speed up -recurse option.
3012 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3013 yet, but it compiles :-)
3015 * Changed default location for install to
3016 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3017 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3018 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3021 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3022 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3023 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
