3 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
4 was configured with --enable-apop.
6 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
7 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
8 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
10 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
13 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
14 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
15 doesn't guess wrongly.
17 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
19 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
20 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
22 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
23 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
25 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
26 files with numbers as names
28 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
30 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
32 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
34 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
36 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
37 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
39 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
41 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
44 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
45 test/report error writing to stdout
47 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
49 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
51 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
52 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
53 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
55 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
56 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
57 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
59 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
61 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
62 character set used by the current locale
64 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
65 message's filename overflows an int when converted
67 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
68 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
70 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
72 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
75 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
77 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
78 from Michael Richardson.
80 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
81 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
83 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
85 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
86 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
88 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
90 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
91 find sub-parts of the specified part
93 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
95 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
96 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
97 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
98 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
99 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
100 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
101 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
104 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
106 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
107 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
108 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
111 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
112 refiling with -src option.
114 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
116 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
118 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
120 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
121 mailpath being overwritten.
123 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
125 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
126 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
127 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
128 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
129 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
130 reinitializes the tmp file string.
132 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
133 if a format string was read from the profile.
135 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
136 path for the external hook.
138 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
140 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
141 another location for ndbm.
143 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
145 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
147 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
149 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
152 136976 - Handle binary content messages
153 143427 - mh-format.man typo
154 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
155 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
156 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
157 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
158 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
159 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
160 181867 - typo for nmh.man
162 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
164 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
165 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
166 contitional code which will result in cached data to
167 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
168 and parse on the first use.
169 * Remove some unused flag bits.
171 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
173 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
174 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
176 #578 - repl leaks umask
177 #1393 - sortm core dumps
178 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
179 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
180 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
182 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
183 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
185 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
187 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
188 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
190 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
192 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
193 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
194 to docs/README.about.
196 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
198 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
200 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
201 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
202 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
203 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
206 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
208 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
209 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
210 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
211 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
212 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
213 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
216 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
217 summary configure prints out.
219 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
220 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
221 subjectively more readable) format.
223 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
225 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
228 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
230 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
231 19xx when it's not necessary.
233 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
235 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
236 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
239 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
240 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
241 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
242 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
243 the man pages correctly.
245 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
247 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
249 * Finished manpages ali-prev
251 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
252 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
253 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
256 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
257 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
258 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
259 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
261 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
263 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
264 the formatting rules I've been using.
268 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
270 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
271 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
272 used in the manpages.
274 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
275 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
276 read in the contents of the file as the variable
279 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
280 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
281 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
282 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
283 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
284 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
285 bold flags and italicized parameters.
287 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
289 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
290 --with-locking option.
292 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
293 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
294 information was not being communicated to the
295 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
296 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
297 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
298 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
299 undefined symbols problems.
301 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
302 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
303 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
304 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
305 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
306 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
307 for a genuine krb4 installation.
309 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
311 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
312 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
314 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
316 * Made a new ./configure option called
317 "--with-locking" that allows the file
318 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
319 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
321 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
322 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
323 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
324 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
325 the user that these are the valid options, and
326 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
329 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
331 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
332 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
333 committed to supporting flex only, since
334 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
335 string, as well as other problems documented
336 below and on nmh-workers.
338 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
339 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
340 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
343 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
344 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
346 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
348 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
349 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
350 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
352 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
354 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
355 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
357 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
359 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
360 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
361 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
362 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
363 couldn't correctly identify them.
365 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
367 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
368 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
369 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
370 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
371 not depending on an external archive.
373 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
374 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
375 mts/generic is no longer built.
377 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
379 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
380 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
381 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
382 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
383 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
384 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
385 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
386 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
388 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
390 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
391 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
394 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
396 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
397 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
398 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
401 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
402 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
403 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
404 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
406 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
407 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
408 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
409 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
410 merged into the smtp code).
412 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
413 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
414 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
417 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
418 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
419 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
420 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
421 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
422 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
423 in the appropriate Makefile.in
425 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
427 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
428 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
429 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
430 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
431 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
432 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
433 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
434 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
435 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
436 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
437 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
439 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
441 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
442 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
443 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
444 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
445 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
446 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
447 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
448 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
449 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
451 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
453 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
454 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
457 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
459 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
460 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
462 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
464 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
465 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
466 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
467 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
469 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
471 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
472 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
473 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
474 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
475 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
477 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
478 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
480 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
482 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
484 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
485 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
486 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
487 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
489 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
490 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
491 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
492 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
494 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
495 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
496 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
497 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
499 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
500 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
501 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
503 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
505 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
506 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
507 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
508 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
509 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
510 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
513 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
514 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
516 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
517 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
519 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
521 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
523 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
525 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
526 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
527 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
528 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
530 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
532 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
533 be easily changed from "," to "#".
535 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
537 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
539 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
540 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
543 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
545 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
546 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
547 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
548 but not for the subsequent data stream.
550 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
552 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
553 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
554 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
555 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
556 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
558 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
560 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
561 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
563 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
564 cat, also define lorder as echo.
566 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
568 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
570 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
571 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
572 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
574 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
576 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
579 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
580 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
582 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
584 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
585 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
587 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
589 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
590 inc does not need to be setgid.
592 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
594 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
595 library, as found on Debian systems.
597 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
599 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
601 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
602 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
603 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
604 case-insensitivity flag.
606 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
608 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
609 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
611 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
613 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
614 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
615 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
616 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
617 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
618 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
619 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
620 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
621 getting moved aside).
623 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
624 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
626 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
628 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
629 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
630 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
631 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
632 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
633 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
634 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
635 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
636 the prototype, but never sets it.
638 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
639 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
640 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
641 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
642 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
643 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
645 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
646 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
647 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
648 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
649 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
651 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
653 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
654 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
657 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
658 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
659 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
660 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
661 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
662 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
663 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
665 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
667 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
669 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
670 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
671 this works on other systems.
673 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
675 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
676 checks for write failures.
678 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
680 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
682 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
685 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
687 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
689 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
691 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
692 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
695 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
697 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
698 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
699 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
700 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
702 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
704 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
705 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
708 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
709 as well as Makefiles.
711 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
713 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
714 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
715 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
716 should make maintainability easier.
718 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
719 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
720 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
721 whatever you know works.
723 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
725 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
726 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
727 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
729 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
730 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
731 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
732 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
734 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
735 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
736 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
738 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
739 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
740 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
741 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
742 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
744 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
745 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
746 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
747 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
748 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
749 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
750 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
751 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
752 from the BSD version.
754 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
755 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
756 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
758 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
761 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
764 This happens on solaris:
767 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
768 No manual entry for mts.conf.
772 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
774 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
775 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
777 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
779 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
780 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
781 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
782 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
783 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
784 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
785 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
786 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
787 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
788 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
789 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
791 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
792 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
793 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
794 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
795 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
796 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
799 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
800 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
801 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
802 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
803 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
805 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
806 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
808 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
810 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
811 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
812 to stdin, such as exmh.
814 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
815 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
816 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
819 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
821 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
822 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
823 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
824 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
825 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
826 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
827 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
829 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
831 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
832 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
834 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
836 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
837 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
839 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
841 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
844 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
845 along with any -host or -user option.
847 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
849 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
851 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
852 process was fresh in my mind.
854 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
856 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
857 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
859 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
861 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
863 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
866 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
867 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
868 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
869 part of the program's name.
871 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
872 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
875 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
877 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
878 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
879 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
880 single-character format would cause programs using this
881 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
882 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
883 when the format string was one character. This eventually
884 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
887 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
889 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
890 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
891 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
892 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
893 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
894 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
896 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
897 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
898 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
899 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
900 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
901 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
902 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
903 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
905 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
906 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
907 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
908 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
909 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
910 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
911 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
912 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
913 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
914 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
916 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
918 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
919 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
921 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
922 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
924 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
929 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
931 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
932 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
933 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
934 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
936 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
937 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
938 problem in the routine.
940 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
942 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
943 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
945 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
946 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
947 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
950 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
952 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
953 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
954 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
955 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
956 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
957 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
958 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
959 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
960 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
961 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
963 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
965 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
966 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
967 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
968 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
969 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
970 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
971 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
972 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
973 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
974 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
975 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
976 interesting than a duplication of the default.
978 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
979 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
980 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
981 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
982 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
984 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
987 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
989 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
990 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
991 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
992 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
995 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
997 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
999 * Applied, after some finessing,
1000 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1002 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1004 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1006 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1007 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1008 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1009 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1011 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1013 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1014 forgetting to do so!).
1016 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1017 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1018 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1019 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1020 arguments to enable all three types.
1022 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1023 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1025 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1026 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1027 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1028 updated copy of mts.conf.
1030 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1032 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1033 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1034 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1036 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1038 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1040 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1041 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1042 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1044 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1045 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1046 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1048 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1049 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1050 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1052 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1054 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1056 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1058 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1060 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1061 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1063 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1064 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1065 certain suffix to run properly.
1067 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1068 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1069 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1071 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1072 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1073 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1074 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1075 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1076 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1077 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1079 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1081 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1082 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1083 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1084 until some year far in the future).
1086 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1088 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1090 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1091 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1093 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1094 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1097 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1099 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1100 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1101 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1102 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1103 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1104 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1106 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1108 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1110 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1111 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1112 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1114 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1115 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1116 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1117 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1118 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1119 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1122 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1123 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1124 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1125 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1126 of masquerading individually.
1128 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1129 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1130 GECOS field delimiters.
1132 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1134 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1135 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1136 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1137 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1138 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1139 and explaining the feature.
1141 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1143 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1144 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1147 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1148 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1149 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1151 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1152 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1153 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1154 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1156 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1157 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1158 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1161 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1163 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1164 code to be executed.
1166 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1168 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1170 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1171 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1172 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1173 quotes embedded in them.
1175 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1177 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1178 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1179 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1180 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1181 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1182 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1183 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1186 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1187 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1188 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1189 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1190 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1192 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1194 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1196 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1197 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1198 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1199 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1201 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1204 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1206 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1208 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1210 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1211 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1212 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1214 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1217 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1219 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1220 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1221 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1222 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1223 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1224 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1226 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1227 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1229 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1231 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1234 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1236 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1237 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1238 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1241 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1242 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1243 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1244 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1245 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1246 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1247 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1248 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1249 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1250 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1251 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1252 processing that post has).
1254 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1256 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1257 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1258 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1259 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1260 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1261 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1264 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1266 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1268 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1270 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1272 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1273 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1275 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1278 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1280 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1281 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1282 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1285 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1287 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1288 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1289 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1290 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1291 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1292 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1294 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1296 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1298 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1300 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1301 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1302 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1303 caught again. This works for now.
1305 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1307 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1309 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1310 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1312 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1314 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1315 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1317 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1319 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1321 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1323 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1324 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1326 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1328 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1329 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1330 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1331 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1332 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1335 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1337 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1338 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1339 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1341 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1342 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1345 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1347 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1348 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1349 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1351 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1353 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1354 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1356 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1358 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1361 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1362 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1364 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1365 macros, regardless of platform.
1367 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1368 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1370 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1371 with x-conversions=gzip.
1373 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1375 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1378 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1379 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1380 implicit definition of ioctl().
1382 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1383 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1384 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1385 want to mess with them.
1387 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1389 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1390 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1392 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1393 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1395 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1396 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1397 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1399 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1400 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1401 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1403 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1404 function initgroups.
1406 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1409 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1410 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1413 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1414 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1417 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1418 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1422 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1424 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1425 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1426 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1428 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1429 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1431 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1433 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1435 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1436 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1437 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1438 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1440 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1441 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1443 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1445 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1447 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1449 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1450 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1452 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1454 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1455 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1457 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1458 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1459 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1460 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1462 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1463 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1465 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1467 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1468 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1470 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1472 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1473 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1476 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1478 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1480 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1482 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1483 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1485 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1486 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1487 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1489 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1490 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1491 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1493 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1494 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1495 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1497 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1498 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1501 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1502 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1504 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1505 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1507 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1508 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1510 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1511 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1512 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1514 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1515 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1517 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1518 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1519 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1521 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1522 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1525 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1526 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1528 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1529 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1530 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1531 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1533 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1534 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1536 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1540 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1541 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1542 would not be changed.
1544 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1545 one from the Apache web server.
1547 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1548 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1550 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1551 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1552 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1554 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1556 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1558 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1559 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1562 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1563 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1564 removes a bad race condition.
1566 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1569 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1570 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1571 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1573 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1574 sequence information.
1576 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1577 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1579 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1582 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1585 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1587 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1588 interpret 034 as octal.
1590 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1592 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1593 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1595 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1596 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1598 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1599 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1601 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1602 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1604 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1605 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1607 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1608 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1609 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1611 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1612 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1613 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1615 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1617 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1619 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1620 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1623 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1625 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1626 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1628 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1629 header field information.
1631 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1632 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1634 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1635 values when parsing a content.
1637 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1638 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1640 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1641 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1643 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1644 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1646 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1647 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1649 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1651 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1653 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1655 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1657 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1658 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1661 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1662 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1664 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1665 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1666 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1667 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1668 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1669 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1672 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1674 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1675 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1676 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1678 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1679 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1681 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1683 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1684 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1685 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1686 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1688 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1689 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1692 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1693 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1694 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1695 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1698 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1700 * Released nmh-0.27.
1702 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1703 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1705 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1706 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1707 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1708 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1711 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1712 mhbuild returns an error.
1714 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1715 rename the draft file.
1717 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1718 use a global variable.
1720 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1721 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1723 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1724 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1726 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1727 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1728 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1730 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1731 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1733 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1734 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1737 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1738 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1741 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1742 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1744 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1745 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1746 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1748 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1749 to new function output_content_folder.
1751 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1752 new function output_content_file.
1754 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1755 to new function parse_format_string.
1757 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1758 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1759 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1760 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1762 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1763 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1764 message/external file from ftp.
1766 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1767 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1768 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1770 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1771 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1774 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1777 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1778 new file mhstoresbr.c
1780 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1783 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1784 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1786 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1787 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1789 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1790 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1791 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1793 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1795 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1797 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1798 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1801 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1802 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1804 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1807 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1809 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1811 * Released nmh-0.26.
1813 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1814 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1815 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1816 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1818 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1819 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1820 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1821 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1822 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1824 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1825 But it is not on by default.
1827 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1828 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1830 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1832 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1834 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1836 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1838 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1839 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1841 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1843 * Released nmh-0.25.
1845 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1846 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1847 uses the original name of the library.
1849 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1850 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1853 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1854 list_content and list_debug.
1856 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1858 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1859 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1861 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1863 * Released nmh-0.24.
1865 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1867 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1868 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1870 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1871 large sequence line.
1873 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1875 * Released nmh-0.23.
1877 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1879 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1880 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1881 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1882 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1884 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1885 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1888 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1890 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1892 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1894 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1895 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1897 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1898 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1900 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1901 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1903 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1904 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1906 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1908 * Released nmh-0.22.
1910 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1911 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1913 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1915 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1916 mh-profile(5) man page.
1918 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1919 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1921 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1923 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1925 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1926 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1928 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1930 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1931 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1932 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1934 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1935 source message on the standard input.
1937 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1939 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1940 rather than -rfc934mode.
1942 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1943 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1946 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1947 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1949 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1952 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1954 * Released nmh-0.21.
1956 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1957 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1959 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1962 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1963 to use for text contents.
1965 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1967 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1969 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1971 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1973 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1974 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1976 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1977 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1978 spaces between encoded word are.
1980 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1982 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1983 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1985 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1986 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1987 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1989 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1991 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1992 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1994 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1996 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1998 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1999 ISO-8859-X character set.
2001 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2004 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2005 permissions, not write permissions.
2007 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2008 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2010 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2013 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2015 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2017 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2018 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2020 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2021 message contains valid character set.
2023 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2024 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2026 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2027 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2029 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2030 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2031 between an encoded word and normal text.
2033 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2034 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2036 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2037 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2039 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2042 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2043 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2046 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2047 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2049 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2050 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2052 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2054 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2056 * Released nmh-0.20.
2058 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2060 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2062 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2063 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2064 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2066 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2067 and the To: line was missing.
2069 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2071 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2073 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2075 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2076 watch the POP transaction.
2078 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2079 first, and use it if available.
2081 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2082 first, and use it if available.
2084 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2086 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2088 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2089 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2090 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2093 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2094 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2095 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2097 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2098 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2101 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2103 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2104 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2106 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2108 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2109 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2111 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2112 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2113 message to which you are replying.
2115 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2116 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2117 making group replies.
2119 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2121 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2123 * Released nmh-0.19.
2125 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2126 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2128 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2129 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2130 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2131 to the end of the man page.
2133 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2134 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2135 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2136 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2137 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2138 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2140 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2143 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2144 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2145 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2147 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2148 the next available number above the message number you wish
2151 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2152 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2154 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2155 file sbr/seq_print.c
2157 * flist will now update the current folder.
2159 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2160 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2161 but now undocumented.
2163 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2166 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2167 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2169 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2171 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2172 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2174 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2176 * Released nmh-0.18.
2178 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2179 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2180 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2182 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2183 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2185 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2186 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2187 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2188 previous public/private status.
2190 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2193 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2196 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2197 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2198 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2200 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2201 take option to determine whether it should get current
2202 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2203 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2205 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2207 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2208 wait for stopped processes.
2210 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2211 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2213 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2215 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2217 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2218 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2220 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2221 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2223 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2224 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2225 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2226 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2228 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2231 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2234 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2236 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2237 the debugging output.
2239 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2240 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2242 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2244 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2246 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2247 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2249 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2251 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2252 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2253 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2254 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2255 in the given sequence.
2257 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2258 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2259 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2260 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2261 subdirectories of a given directory.
2263 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2264 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2265 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2267 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2268 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2270 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2272 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2275 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2276 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2277 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2279 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2280 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2281 are calculated at runtime.
2283 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2293 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2294 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2295 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2297 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2298 adding message to folder itself.
2300 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2301 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2302 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2305 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2306 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2309 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2310 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2311 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2313 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2314 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2316 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2317 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2318 code to use it yet).

2328 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2330 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2332 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c

2368 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2370 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2371 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2373 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2376 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2377 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2379 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2380 number of refiled message.
2382 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2384 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2385 for return value of wait().

2395 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2397 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2398 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2399 deal with binary messages, yet).
2401 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2403 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2405 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2406 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2407 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2408 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2409 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2410 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2412 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2413 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2415 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2416 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2418 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2419 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2422 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2424 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".

2427 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2430 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2433 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2435 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2436 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2437 which used unsigned chars by default.

2441 * Released nmh-0.15.
2443 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2448 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2450 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2453 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2454 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2455 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2457 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2458 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2460 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2462 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2463 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2465 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2466 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2467 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2468 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2470 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2471 and put in own subroutine.
2473 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2474 and put in own subroutine.
2476 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2477 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2478 refile.c to use new routine.
2480 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2482 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2484 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2487 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2488 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2489 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2491 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2494 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2495 adding message to sequence.

2498 corresponding file in sbr.
2500 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2503 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.

2506 all selected messages from a sequence.
2508 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2509 selected messages to a sequence.
2511 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2514 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2516 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2517 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2519 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2521 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2540 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2541 environment variable.
2543 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2544 draft folder facility in nmh.
2546 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h

2558 * Released nmh-0.13.
2560 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2561 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2562 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2563 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2566 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2567 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2569 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2571 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2572 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2574 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2576 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2598 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2601 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2602 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2604 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2605 will suppress the display of the message header.
2607 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2609 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2610 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2612 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2614 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2616 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2618 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2619 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2621 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2622 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2624 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2626 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2628 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2629 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2631 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2632 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2634 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2636 * Released nmh-0.10.

2643 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2645 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2646 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2648 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2649 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2651 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2652 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2654 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2656 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2657 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2659 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2661 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
2662 of missing tabs in regex.

2682 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2684 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2686 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2687 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2689 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2691 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2692 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2694 * Released nmh-0.08.
2696 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2697 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2698 locking database itself.
2700 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2702 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2704 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2705 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2708 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2709 rather than mmdf format.
2711 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2712 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2713 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2714 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2716 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2718 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2720 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2723 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2724 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2725 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2727 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2728 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2729 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2731 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2733 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2734 can still easily change this in config.h).
2736 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2737 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2738 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2740 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2742 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2743 than tzset and external timezone variable.
2745 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2747 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.
2749 * When ruserpass was added to LIBOBJS, it was missing
2752 * Released nmh-0.07.
2754 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2756 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2757 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2759 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2760 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2763 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2764 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2766 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2767 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2769 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2771 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2773 * Added configure check for tzset.
2775 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2777 * Released nmh-0.06.
2779 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2780 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2782 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2783 many such machines around anymore.
2785 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2786 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2788 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2789 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2791 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2793 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2794 pre-generated version if necessary.
2796 * Released nmh-0.05.
2798 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2799 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2800 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2801 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2803 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2804 be linked in one pass.
2806 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2808 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2809 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2811 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2813 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2815 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2817 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2818 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2819 become the current folder.
2821 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2823 * Released nmh-0.04.
2825 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2828 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2830 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2831 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2832 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2834 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2836 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2837 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2839 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2841 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2842 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2845 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2846 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2848 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2850 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2851 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2852 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2853 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2854 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2855 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2857 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2859 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2860 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2862 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2863 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2865 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2867 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2868 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2870 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2872 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2873 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2874 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2876 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2878 * Released nmh-0.03.
2880 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2881 .mh_sequence file existed.
2883 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2884 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2886 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2887 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2890 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2892 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2895 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2897 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2898 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2899 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2901 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2903 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2904 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2905 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2907 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2909 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2910 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2912 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2914 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2916 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2917 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2918 directory from where the source code is located.
2920 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2922 * Released nmh-0.02.
2924 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2929 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2931 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2932 and sys_nerr directly.
2934 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2936 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2938 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2940 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2942 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2943 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2944 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2945 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2946 rather than in script.
2948 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2950 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2952 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2953 macro defined on Solaris.
2955 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2957 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2958 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2960 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2961 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2962 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2963 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2966 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2968 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2969 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2971 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2974 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2976 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2978 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2979 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2981 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2983 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2984 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2986 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2988 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2989 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2990 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2991 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2992 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2993 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2995 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2997 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2999 * Released nmh-0.01.
3001 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3002 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3003 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3006 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3008 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3011 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3013 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3014 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3016 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3018 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3019 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3020 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3021 script to find_program.
3023 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3025 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3026 speed up -recurse option.
3028 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3029 yet, but it compiles :-)
3031 * Changed default location for install to
3032 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3033 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3034 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3037 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3038 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3039 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
