1 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
3 * added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
4 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
6 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
8 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
9 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
10 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
11 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
12 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
13 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
14 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
15 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
18 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
19 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
21 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
23 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
24 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
25 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
26 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
27 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
28 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
29 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
30 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
31 the prototype, but never sets it.
33 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
34 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
35 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
36 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
37 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
38 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
40 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
41 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
42 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
43 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
44 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
46 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
48 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
49 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
52 * Rewrote dparsetime (dtimep.c) to replace the old
53 zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
54 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
55 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
56 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
57 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
58 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
60 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
62 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
64 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
65 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
66 this works on other systems.
68 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
70 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
71 checks for write failures.
73 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
75 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
77 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
80 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
82 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
84 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
86 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
87 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
90 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
92 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
93 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
94 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
95 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
97 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
99 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
100 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
103 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
104 as well as Makefiles.
106 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
108 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
109 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
110 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
111 should make maintainability easier.
113 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
114 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
115 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
116 whatever you know works.
118 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
120 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
121 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
122 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
124 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
125 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
126 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
127 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
129 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
130 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
131 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
133 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
134 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
135 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
136 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
137 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
139 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
140 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
141 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
142 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
143 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
144 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
145 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
146 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
147 from the BSD version.
149 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
150 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
151 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
153 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
156 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
159 This happens on solaris:
162 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
163 No manual entry for mts.conf.
167 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
169 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
170 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
172 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
174 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
175 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
176 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
177 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
178 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
179 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
180 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
181 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
182 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
183 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
184 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
186 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
187 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
188 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
189 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
190 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
191 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
194 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
195 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
196 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
197 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
198 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
200 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
201 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
203 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
205 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
206 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
207 to stdin, such as exmh.
209 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
210 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
211 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
214 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
216 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
217 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
218 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
219 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
220 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
221 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
222 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
224 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
226 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
227 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
229 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
231 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
232 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
234 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
236 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
239 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
240 along with any -host or -user option.
242 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
244 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
246 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
247 process was fresh in my mind.
249 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
251 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
252 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
254 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
256 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
258 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
261 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
262 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
263 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
264 part of the program's name.
266 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
267 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
270 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
272 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
273 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
274 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
275 single-character format would cause programs using this
276 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
277 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
278 when the format string was one character. This eventually
279 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
282 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
284 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
285 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
286 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
287 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
288 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
289 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
291 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
292 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
293 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
294 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
295 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
296 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
297 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
298 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
300 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
301 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
302 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
303 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
304 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
305 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
306 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
307 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
308 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
309 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
311 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
313 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
314 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
316 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
317 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
319 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
324 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
326 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
327 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
328 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
329 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
331 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
332 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
333 problem in the routine.
335 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
337 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
338 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
340 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
341 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
342 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
345 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
347 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
348 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
349 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
350 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
351 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
352 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
353 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
354 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
355 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
356 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
358 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
360 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
361 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
362 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
363 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
364 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
365 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
366 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
367 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
368 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
369 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
370 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
371 interesting than a duplication of the default.
373 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
374 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
375 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
376 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
377 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
379 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
382 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
384 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
385 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
386 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
387 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
390 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
392 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
394 * Applied, after some finessing,
395 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
397 Here's a patch that allows you to add
399 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
401 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
402 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
403 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
404 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
406 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
408 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
409 forgetting to do so!).
411 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
412 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
413 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
414 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
415 arguments to enable all three types.
417 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
418 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
420 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
421 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
422 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
423 updated copy of mts.conf.
425 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
427 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
428 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
429 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
431 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
433 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
435 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
436 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
437 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
439 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
440 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
441 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
443 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
444 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
445 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
447 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
449 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
451 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
453 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
455 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
456 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
458 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
459 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
460 certain suffix to run properly.
462 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
463 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
464 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
466 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
467 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
468 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
469 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
470 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
471 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
472 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
474 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
476 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
477 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
478 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
479 until some year far in the future).
481 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
483 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
485 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
486 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
488 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
489 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
492 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
494 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
495 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
496 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
497 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
498 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
499 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
501 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
503 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
505 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
506 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
507 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
509 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
510 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
511 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
512 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
513 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
514 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
517 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
518 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
519 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
520 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
521 of masquerading individually.
523 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
524 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
525 GECOS field delimiters.
527 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
529 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
530 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
531 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
532 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
533 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
534 and explaining the feature.
536 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
538 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
539 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
542 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
543 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
544 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
546 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
547 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
548 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
549 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
551 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
552 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
553 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
556 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
558 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
561 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
563 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
565 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
566 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
567 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
568 quotes embedded in them.
570 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
572 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
573 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
574 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
575 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
576 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
577 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
578 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
581 The other theory is that because you can say something like
582 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
583 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
584 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
585 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
587 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
589 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
591 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
592 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
593 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
594 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
596 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
599 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
601 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
603 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
605 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
606 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
607 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
609 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
612 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
614 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
615 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
616 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
617 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
618 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
619 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
621 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
622 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
624 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
626 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
629 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
631 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
632 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
633 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
636 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
637 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
638 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
639 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
640 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
641 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
642 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
643 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
644 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
645 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
646 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
647 processing that post has).
649 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
651 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
652 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
653 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
654 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
655 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
656 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
659 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
661 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
663 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
665 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
667 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
668 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
670 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
673 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
675 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
676 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
677 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
680 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
682 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
683 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
684 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
685 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
686 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
687 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
689 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
691 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
693 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
695 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
696 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
697 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
698 caught again. This works for now.
700 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
702 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
704 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
705 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
707 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
709 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
710 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
712 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
714 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
716 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
718 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
719 changes. Both need more cleanup.
721 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
723 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
724 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
725 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
726 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
727 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
730 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
732 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
733 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
734 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
736 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
737 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
740 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
742 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
743 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
744 to a directory on another device with more free space.
746 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
748 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
749 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
751 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
753 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
756 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
757 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
759 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
760 macros, regardless of platform.
762 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
763 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
765 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
766 with x-conversions=gzip.
768 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
770 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
773 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
774 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
775 implicit definition of ioctl().
777 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
778 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
779 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
780 want to mess with them.
782 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
784 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
785 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
787 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
788 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
790 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
791 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
792 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
794 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
795 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
796 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
798 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
801 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
804 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
805 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
808 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
809 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
812 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
813 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
817 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
819 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
820 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
821 preventing compilation on at least linux.
823 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
824 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
826 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
828 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
830 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
831 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
832 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
833 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
835 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
836 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
838 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
840 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
842 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
844 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
845 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
847 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
849 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
850 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
852 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
853 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
854 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
855 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
857 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
858 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
860 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
862 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
863 substitute it for mktemp if available.
865 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
867 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
868 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
871 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
873 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
875 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
877 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
878 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
880 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
881 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
882 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
884 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
885 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
886 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
888 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
889 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
890 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
892 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
893 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
896 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
897 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
899 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
900 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
902 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
905 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
906 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
907 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
909 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
910 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
912 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
913 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
914 <elleron@servtech.com>.
916 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
917 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
920 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
921 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
923 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
924 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
925 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
926 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
928 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
929 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
931 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
935 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
936 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
937 would not be changed.
939 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
940 one from the Apache web server.
942 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
943 (this should have been done a long time ago).
945 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
946 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
947 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
949 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
951 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
953 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
954 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
957 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
958 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
959 removes a bad race condition.
961 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
964 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
965 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
966 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
968 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
969 sequence information.
971 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
972 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
974 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
977 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
980 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
982 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
983 interpret 034 as octal.
985 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
987 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
988 mhstore, and mhbuild.
990 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
991 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
993 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
994 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
996 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
997 in the c_cefile structure when building.
999 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1000 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1002 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1003 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1004 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1006 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1007 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1008 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1010 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1012 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1014 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1015 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1018 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1020 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1021 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1023 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1024 header field information.
1026 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1027 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1029 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1030 values when parsing a content.
1032 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1033 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1035 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1036 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1038 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1039 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1041 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1042 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1044 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1046 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1048 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1050 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1052 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1053 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1056 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1057 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1059 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1060 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1061 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1062 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1063 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1064 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1067 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1069 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1070 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1071 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1073 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1074 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1076 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1078 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1079 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1080 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1081 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1083 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1084 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1087 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1088 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1089 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1090 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1093 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1095 * Released nmh-0.27.
1097 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1098 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1100 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1101 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1102 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1103 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1106 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1107 mhbuild returns an error.
1109 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1110 rename the draft file.
1112 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1113 use a global variable.
1115 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1116 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1118 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1119 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1121 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1122 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1123 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1125 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1126 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1128 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1129 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1132 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1133 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1136 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1137 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1139 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1140 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1141 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1143 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1144 to new function output_content_folder.
1146 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1147 new function output_content_file.
1149 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1150 to new function parse_format_string.
1152 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1153 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1154 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1155 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1157 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1158 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1159 message/external file from ftp.
1161 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1162 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1163 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1165 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1166 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1169 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1172 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1173 new file mhstoresbr.c
1175 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1178 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1179 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1181 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1182 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1184 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1185 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1186 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1188 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1190 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1192 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1193 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1196 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1197 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1199 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1202 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1204 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1206 * Released nmh-0.26.
1208 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1209 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1210 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1211 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1213 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1214 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1215 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1216 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1217 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1219 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1220 But it is not on by default.
1222 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1223 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1225 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1227 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1229 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1231 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1233 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1234 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1236 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1238 * Released nmh-0.25.
1240 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1241 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1242 uses the original name of the library.
1244 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1245 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1248 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1249 list_content and list_debug.
1251 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1253 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1254 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1256 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1258 * Released nmh-0.24.
1260 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1262 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1263 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1265 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1266 large sequence line.
1268 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1270 * Released nmh-0.23.
1272 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1274 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1275 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1276 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1277 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1279 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1280 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1283 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1285 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1287 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1289 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1290 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1292 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1293 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1295 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1296 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1298 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1299 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1301 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1303 * Released nmh-0.22.
1305 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1306 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1308 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1310 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1311 mh-profile(5) man page.
1313 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1314 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1316 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1318 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1320 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1321 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1323 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1325 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1326 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1327 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1329 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1330 source message on the standard input.
1332 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1334 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1335 rather than -rfc934mode.
1337 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1338 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1341 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1342 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1344 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1347 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1349 * Released nmh-0.21.
1351 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1352 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1354 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1357 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1358 to use for text contents.
1360 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1362 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1364 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1366 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1368 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1369 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1371 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1372 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1373 spaces between encoded word are.
1375 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1377 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1378 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1380 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1381 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1382 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1384 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1386 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1387 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1389 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1391 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1393 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1394 ISO-8859-X character set.
1396 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1399 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1400 permissions, not write permissions.
1402 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1403 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1405 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1408 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1410 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1412 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1413 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1415 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1416 message contains valid character set.
1418 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1419 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1421 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1422 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1424 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1425 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1426 between an encoded word and normal text.
1428 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1429 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1431 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1432 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1434 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1437 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1438 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1441 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1442 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1444 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1445 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1447 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1449 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1451 * Released nmh-0.20.
1453 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1455 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1457 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1458 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1459 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1461 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1462 and the To: line was missing.
1464 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1466 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1468 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1470 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1471 watch the POP transaction.
1473 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1474 first, and use it if available.
1476 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1477 first, and use it if available.
1479 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1481 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1483 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1484 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1485 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1488 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1489 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1490 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1492 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1493 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1496 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1498 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1499 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1501 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1503 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1504 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1506 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1507 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1508 message to which you are replying.
1510 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1511 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1512 making group replies.
1514 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1516 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1518 * Released nmh-0.19.
1520 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1521 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1523 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1524 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1525 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1526 to the end of the man page.
1528 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1529 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1530 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1531 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1532 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1533 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1535 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1538 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1539 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1540 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1542 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1543 the next available number above the message number you wish
1546 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1547 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1549 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1550 file sbr/seq_print.c
1552 * flist will now update the current folder.
1554 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1555 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1556 but now undocumented.
1558 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1561 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1562 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1564 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1566 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1567 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1569 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1571 * Released nmh-0.18.
1573 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1574 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1575 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1577 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1578 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1580 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1581 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1582 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1583 previous public/private status.
1585 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1588 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1591 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1592 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1593 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1595 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1596 take option to determine whether it should get current
1597 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1598 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1600 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1602 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1603 wait for stopped processes.
1605 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1606 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1608 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1610 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1612 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1613 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1615 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1616 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1618 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1619 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1620 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1621 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1623 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1626 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1629 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1631 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1632 the debugging output.
1634 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1635 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1637 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1639 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1641 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1642 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1644 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1646 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1647 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1648 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1649 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1650 in the given sequence.
1652 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1653 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1654 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
1655 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
1656 subdirectories of a given directory.
1658 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
1659 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
1660 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
1662 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
1663 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
1665 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
1667 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
1670 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
1671 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
1672 fields are now calculated at runtime.
1674 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
1675 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
1676 are calculated at runtime.
1678 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1680 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
1682 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
1683 about checking for global mh.profile.
1685 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
1686 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
1687 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
1688 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
1689 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
1690 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
1692 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
1693 adding message to folder itself.
1695 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
1696 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
1697 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
1700 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
1701 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
1704 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
1705 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
1706 is the same as the direct smtp code).
1708 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
1709 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
1711 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
1712 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
1713 code to use it yet).
1715 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1717 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
1719 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
1720 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
1722 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
1723 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
1725 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
1727 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
1730 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1732 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
1734 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
1736 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
1738 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
1739 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
1741 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
1743 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
1745 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
1747 * Removed all the code for BERK.
1749 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
1751 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
1752 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
1754 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
1755 configuration files.
1757 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
1759 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1761 * Released nmh-0.17.
1763 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
1765 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
1766 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
1768 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
1771 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
1772 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
1774 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
1775 number of refiled message.
1777 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
1779 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
1780 for return value of wait().
1782 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
1784 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1786 * Released nmh-0.16.
1788 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1790 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
1792 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
1793 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
1794 deal with binary messages, yet).
1796 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
1798 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
1800 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
1801 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
1802 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
1803 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
1804 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
1805 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
1807 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
1808 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
1810 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
1811 From MH-6.8.4 patch.

1814 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
1817 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
1819 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
1821 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
1822 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
1825 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
1828 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
1830 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
1831 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
1832 which used unsigned chars by default.

1836 * Released nmh-0.15.
1838 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

1843 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
1845 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
1848 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
1849 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
1850 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
1852 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
1853 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
1855 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
1857 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
1858 they conflict with defines on AIX.
1860 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
1861 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
1862 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
1863 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
1865 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
1866 and put in own subroutine.
1868 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
1869 and put in own subroutine.
1871 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
1872 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
1873 refile.c to use new routine.

1877 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
1879 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
1882 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
1883 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
1884 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
1886 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
1889 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before

1901 all selected messages from a sequence.
1903 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
1904 selected messages to a sequence.
1906 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
1909 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1911 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
1912 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
1914 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1916 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

1953 * Released nmh-0.13.
1955 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
1956 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
1957 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
1958 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
1961 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
1962 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
1964 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1966 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
1967 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
1969 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1971 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

1996 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
1997 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
1999 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2000 will suppress the display of the message header.
2002 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2004 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2005 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2007 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2009 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2011 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h

2014 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2016 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2017 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2019 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2021 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2023 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2024 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2026 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2027 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2029 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2031 * Released nmh-0.10.

2043 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2044 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2046 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

2051 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2052 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2054 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2056 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2084 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2086 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2087 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2089 * Released nmh-0.08.
2091 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2092 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2093 locking database itself.

2097 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2099 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2100 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2103 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2104 rather than mmdf format.
2106 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2107 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2108 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2109 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2111 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2113 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2115 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2118 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2119 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2120 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2122 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2123 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2124 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2126 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2128 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2129 can still easily change this in config.h).
2131 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2132 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2133 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2135 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2137 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

2151 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2152 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2154 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2155 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2158 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2159 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2161 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2162 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2164 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2166 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2168 * Added configure check for tzset.

2172 * Released nmh-0.06.
2174 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2175 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2177 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2178 many such machines around anymore.
2180 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2181 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2183 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2184 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2186 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2188 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2189 pre-generated version if necessary.
2191 * Released nmh-0.05.
2193 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2194 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2195 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2196 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2198 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2199 be linked in one pass.
2201 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2203 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2204 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2206 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2208 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2210 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2212 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2213 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2214 become the current folder.
2216 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2218 * Released nmh-0.04.

2223 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2225 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2226 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2227 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2229 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2231 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2232 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2234 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2236 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2237 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2240 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2241 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2243 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2245 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2246 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2247 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2248 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2249 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2250 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2252 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2254 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2255 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2257 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2258 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2260 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2262 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2263 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2265 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2267 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2268 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2269 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2271 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2273 * Released nmh-0.03.
2275 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2276 .mh_sequence file existed.
2278 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2279 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2281 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2282 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2285 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2287 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2290 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2292 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2293 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2294 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2296 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2298 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2299 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2300 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2302 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2304 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2305 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2307 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2309 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2311 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2312 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2313 directory from where the source code is located.
2315 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2317 * Released nmh-0.02.

2327 and sys_nerr directly.
2329 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2331 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2333 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2335 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2337 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2338 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2339 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2340 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2341 rather than in script.
2343 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2345 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2347 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2348 macro defined on Solaris.

2352 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2353 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2355 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2356 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable

2378 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2379 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2381 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2383 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2384 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2385 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2386 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2387 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2388 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2390 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2392 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2394 * Released nmh-0.01.
2396 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2397 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function

2413 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2414 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2415 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2416 script to find_program.
2418 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2420 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2421 speed up -recurse option.

2424 yet, but it compiles :-)
2426 * Changed default location for install to
2427 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2428 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2429 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2432 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2433 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2434 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
