1 2008-08-03 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
3 * etc/replcomps, etc/replgroupcomps: Trim trailing whitespace from
6 2008-08-03 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
8 * sbr/fmt_compile.c: when doing an if-test on the result
9 of a function which returns a string result, check whether
10 the string is non-empty (as the documentation says we do).
11 Previously we were always testing the integer 'value'. Bug
12 spotted by Eric Gillespie.
13 * test/tests/repl/test-if-str: test case for this bug
15 2008-07-24 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
17 * test/setup-test: Run 'make clean' before building
19 2008-07-24 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
21 * test/runtest: cat test-temp-dir only once. Destroy and create
22 test Mail hierarchy here, so each test has its own independent
25 * test/setup-test: Drop needless pushd/popd, which don't exist in
26 sh anyway. Don't use aclocal, which is part of automake.
27 Don't create Mail hierarchy here (see test/runtest).
29 * test/tests/folder/test-create, tests/folder/test-total: Drop
32 * tests/pick/test-pick: Remove failing no-op test.
34 * test/tests/scan/test-scan: Write expected and actual output to
35 files and diff them. This way, if the output differs, diff
36 provides the FAILing exit code and shows the differences.
38 2008-06-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
39 * man/repl.man, etc/mhl.reply:
40 Add an attribution line when replying to messages.
42 2008-06-02 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
44 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, sbr/done.c, uip/inc.c,
45 uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhlist.c, uip/mhn.c, uip/mhshow.c,
46 uip/mhstore.c, uip/mhtest.c, uip/packf.c, uip/pick.c,
47 uip/rcvdist.c, uip/rcvstore.c, uip/sendsbr.c: when
48 building on gcc, use the noreturn attribute on various
49 functions (should improve code and avoid some spurious
50 'uninitialized variable' warnings).
52 2008-06-01 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
54 * docs/README.developers: update the bits about doing a
55 release announcement, now I've actually done one.
57 2008-05-22 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
59 * uip/scansbr.c: don't use MB_CUR_MAX if we aren't compiled
60 with multibyte support.
62 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: factor out common code for writing ls
63 shell command, and make it do more sensible buffer length
64 checks. Also avoid relying on the return value of sprintf(),
65 as some old systems don't return number of characters written.
67 2008-05-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
69 * sbr/utils.c (mh_xrealloc): don't assume realloc() can
70 handle NULL pointers; some non-POSIX realloc()s can't.
72 * sbr/dtimep.lex: add some table size declarations for the
73 benefit of elderly lexes with small defaults.
75 2008-05-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
77 * sbr/addrsbr.c: removed "err" from conditional, because gcc
78 correctly warned that it would always evaluate as true. It's
79 the address of a static array.
81 2008-05-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
83 * sbr/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.in: Don't use $< in target rules
84 in makefiles, as POSIX says it's only defined in inference rules.
86 2008-05-13 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
88 * configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
89 specified to configure, enable all supported masquerade forms.
90 This allows users to masquerade with the default
91 configuration. That seems to be more worthwhile now than
92 trying to prevent users from using it, especially with
93 single-user installations or those where a user can edit
96 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
98 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
99 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
100 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
101 ruserpass() has a void return type.
103 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
104 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
105 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
106 provide memmove() substitute implementation
108 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
109 source directory' feature
111 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
112 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
114 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
116 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
117 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
118 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
121 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
123 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
124 is the wrong approach.
126 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
127 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
128 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
131 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
132 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
133 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
134 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
135 broken for continued lines from the server.
137 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
139 * Cope with sasl_decode64() returning SASL_CONTINUE, as
140 happens with newer sasl libraries and LOGIN auth.
142 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
144 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
146 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
149 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
151 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
153 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
155 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
156 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
157 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
158 obsolete feature of autoconf
160 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
162 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
163 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
164 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
166 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
168 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
169 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
171 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
173 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
176 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
178 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
179 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
180 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
181 following done() (should never be reached).
183 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
185 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
186 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
188 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
190 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
191 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
193 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
195 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
196 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
197 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
198 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
199 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
200 acconfig.h if you must.
202 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
204 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
205 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
206 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
207 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
209 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
211 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
214 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
216 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
217 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
218 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
219 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
220 have Content-Disposition.
222 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
224 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
227 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
229 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
230 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
232 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
234 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
235 encoded block is empty
237 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
239 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
240 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
241 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
244 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
246 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
247 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
250 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
252 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
253 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
254 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
255 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
258 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
259 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
261 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
263 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
264 function num_digits into utils.c
266 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
268 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
269 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
270 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
272 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
274 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
275 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
276 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
277 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
278 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
279 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
280 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
281 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
283 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
285 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
286 Content-Disposition header.
288 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
290 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
291 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
292 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
293 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
294 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
295 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
296 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
297 users to easily accomodate that by adding
298 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
300 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
302 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
303 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
305 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
307 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
309 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
310 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
312 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
313 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
315 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
317 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
318 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
319 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
320 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
321 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
324 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
326 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
327 widths, restoring right justification feature
329 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
331 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
332 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
333 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
335 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
338 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
340 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
341 handling multi column characters.
343 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
345 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
347 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
349 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
350 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
353 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
355 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
357 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
359 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
362 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
364 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
367 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
369 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
370 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
371 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
372 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
374 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
376 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
377 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
378 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
379 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
380 where configure's autodetection fails.
382 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
384 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
385 configure script change.
387 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
389 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
390 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
391 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
394 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
396 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
397 the context is only read once.
399 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
401 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
402 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
404 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
406 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
407 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
409 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
410 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
413 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
414 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
417 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
419 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
420 vi isn't found during build.
422 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
424 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
425 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
427 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
428 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
429 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
431 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
433 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
434 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
436 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
437 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
438 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
439 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
442 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
443 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
444 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
446 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
447 entry in the context file.
449 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
451 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
452 problems on some systems
454 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
455 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
457 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
459 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
460 sendmail isn't found during build.
462 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
464 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
466 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
468 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
469 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
471 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
472 references to the web page and mailing list locations
474 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
475 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
477 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
480 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
482 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
483 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
484 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
486 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
487 was configured with --enable-apop.
489 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
490 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
491 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
493 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
494 new versions of flex.
496 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
497 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
498 doesn't guess wrongly.
500 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
502 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
503 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
505 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
506 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
508 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
509 files with numbers as names
511 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
513 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
515 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
517 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
519 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
520 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
522 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
524 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
527 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
528 test/report error writing to stdout
530 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
532 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
534 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
535 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
536 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
538 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
539 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
540 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
542 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
544 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
545 character set used by the current locale
547 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
548 message's filename overflows an int when converted
550 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
551 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
553 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
555 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
558 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
560 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
561 from Michael Richardson.
563 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
564 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
566 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
568 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
569 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
571 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
573 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
574 find sub-parts of the specified part
576 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
578 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
579 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
580 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
581 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
582 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
583 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
584 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
587 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
589 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
590 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
591 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
594 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
595 refiling with -src option.
597 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
599 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
601 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
603 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
604 mailpath being overwritten.
606 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
608 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
609 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
610 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
611 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
612 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
613 reinitializes the tmp file string.
615 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
616 if a format string was read from the profile.
618 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
619 path for the external hook.
621 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
623 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
624 another location for ndbm.
626 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
628 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
630 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
632 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
635 136976 - Handle binary content messages
636 143427 - mh-format.man typo
637 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
638 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
639 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
640 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
641 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
642 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
643 181867 - typo for nmh.man
645 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
647 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
648 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
649 contitional code which will result in cached data to
650 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
651 and parse on the first use.
652 * Remove some unused flag bits.
654 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
656 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
657 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
659 #578 - repl leaks umask
660 #1393 - sortm core dumps
661 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
662 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
663 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
665 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
666 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
668 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
670 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
671 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
673 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
675 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
676 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
677 to docs/README.about.
679 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
681 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
683 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
684 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
685 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
686 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
689 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
691 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
692 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
693 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
694 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
695 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
696 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
699 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
700 summary configure prints out.
702 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
703 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
704 subjectively more readable) format.
706 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
708 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
711 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
713 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
714 19xx when it's not necessary.
716 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
718 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
719 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
722 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
723 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
724 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
725 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
726 the man pages correctly.
728 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
730 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
732 * Finished manpages ali-prev
734 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
735 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
736 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
739 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
740 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
741 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
742 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
744 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
746 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
747 the formatting rules I've been using.
751 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
753 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
754 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
755 used in the manpages.
757 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
758 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
759 read in the contents of the file as the variable
762 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
763 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
764 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
765 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
766 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
767 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
768 bold flags and italicized parameters.
770 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
772 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
773 --with-locking option.
775 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
776 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
777 information was not being communicated to the
778 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
779 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
780 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
781 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
782 undefined symbols problems.
784 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
785 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
786 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
787 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
788 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
789 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
790 for a genuine krb4 installation.
792 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
794 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
795 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
797 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
799 * Made a new ./configure option called
800 "--with-locking" that allows the file
801 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
802 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
804 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
805 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
806 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
807 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
808 the user that these are the valid options, and
809 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
812 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
814 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
815 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
816 committed to supporting flex only, since
817 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
818 string, as well as other problems documented
819 below and on nmh-workers.
821 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
822 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
823 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
826 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
827 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
829 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
831 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
832 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
833 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
835 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
837 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
838 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
840 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
842 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
843 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
844 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
845 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
846 couldn't correctly identify them.
848 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
850 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
851 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
852 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
853 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
854 not depending on an external archive.
856 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
857 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
858 mts/generic is no longer built.
860 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
862 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
863 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
864 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
865 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
866 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
867 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
868 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
869 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
871 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
873 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
874 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
877 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
879 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
880 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
881 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
884 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
885 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
886 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
887 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
889 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
890 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
891 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
892 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
893 merged into the smtp code).
895 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
896 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
897 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
900 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
901 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
902 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
903 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
904 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
905 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
906 in the appropriate Makefile.in
908 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
910 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
911 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
912 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
913 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
914 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
915 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
916 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
917 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
918 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
919 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
920 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
922 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
924 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
925 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
926 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
927 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
928 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
929 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
930 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
931 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
932 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
934 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
936 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
937 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
940 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
942 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
943 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
945 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
947 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
948 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
949 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
950 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
952 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
954 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
955 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
956 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
957 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
958 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
960 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
961 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
963 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
965 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
967 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
968 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
969 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
970 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
972 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
973 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
974 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
975 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
977 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
978 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
979 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
980 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
982 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
983 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
984 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
986 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
988 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
989 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
990 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
991 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
992 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
993 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
996 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
997 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
999 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
1000 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
1002 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1004 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
1006 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1008 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
1009 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
1010 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
1011 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
1013 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1015 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
1016 be easily changed from "," to "#".
1018 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
1020 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
1022 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
1023 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
1026 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1028 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
1029 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
1030 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
1031 but not for the subsequent data stream.
1033 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1035 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
1036 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
1037 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
1038 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
1039 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
1041 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1043 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
1044 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
1046 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
1047 cat, also define lorder as echo.
1049 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
1051 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1053 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
1054 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
1055 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
1057 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1059 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
1062 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
1063 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
1065 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1067 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
1068 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
1070 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1072 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
1073 inc does not need to be setgid.
1075 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1077 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
1078 library, as found on Debian systems.
1080 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
1082 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1084 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
1085 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
1086 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
1087 case-insensitivity flag.
1089 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1091 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
1092 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
1094 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1096 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1097 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1098 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1099 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1100 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1101 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1102 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1103 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1104 getting moved aside).
1106 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1107 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1109 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1111 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1112 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1113 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1114 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1115 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1116 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1117 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1118 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1119 the prototype, but never sets it.
1121 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1122 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1123 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1124 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1125 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1126 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1128 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1129 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1130 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1131 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1132 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1134 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1136 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1137 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1140 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1141 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1142 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1143 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1144 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1145 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1146 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1148 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1150 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1152 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1153 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1154 this works on other systems.
1156 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1158 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1159 checks for write failures.
1161 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1163 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1165 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1168 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1170 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1172 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1174 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1175 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1178 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1180 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1181 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1182 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1183 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1185 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1187 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1188 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1191 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1192 as well as Makefiles.
1194 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1196 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1197 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1198 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1199 should make maintainability easier.
1201 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1202 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1203 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1204 whatever you know works.
1206 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1208 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1209 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1210 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1212 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1213 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1214 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1215 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1217 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1218 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1219 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1221 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1222 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1223 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1224 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1225 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1227 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1228 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1229 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1230 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1231 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1232 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1233 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1234 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1235 from the BSD version.
1237 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1238 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1239 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1241 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1242 in ruserpass.c also.
1244 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1247 This happens on solaris:
1250 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1251 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1255 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1257 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1258 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1260 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1262 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1263 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1264 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1265 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1266 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1267 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1268 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1269 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1270 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1271 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1272 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1274 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1275 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1276 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1277 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1278 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1279 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1282 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1283 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1284 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1285 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1286 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1288 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1289 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1291 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1293 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1294 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1295 to stdin, such as exmh.
1297 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1298 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1299 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1302 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1304 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1305 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1306 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1307 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1308 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1309 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1310 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1312 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1314 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1315 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1317 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1319 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1320 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1322 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1324 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1327 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1328 along with any -host or -user option.
1330 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1332 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1334 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1335 process was fresh in my mind.
1337 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1339 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1340 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1342 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1344 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1346 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1349 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1350 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1351 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1352 part of the program's name.
1354 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1355 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1358 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1360 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1361 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1362 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1363 single-character format would cause programs using this
1364 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1365 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1366 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1367 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1370 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1372 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1373 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1374 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1375 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1376 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1377 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1379 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1380 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1381 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1382 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1383 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1384 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1385 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1386 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1388 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1389 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1390 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1391 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1392 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1393 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1394 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1395 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1396 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1397 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1399 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1401 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1402 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1404 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1405 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1407 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1412 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1414 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1415 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1416 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1417 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1419 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1420 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1421 problem in the routine.
1423 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1425 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1426 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1428 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1429 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1430 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1433 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1435 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1436 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1437 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1438 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1439 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1440 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1441 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1442 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1443 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1444 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1446 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1448 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1449 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1450 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1451 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1452 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1453 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1454 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1455 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1456 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1457 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1458 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1459 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1461 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1462 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1463 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1464 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1465 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1467 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1470 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1472 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1473 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1474 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1475 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1478 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1480 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1482 * Applied, after some finessing,
1483 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1485 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1487 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1489 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1490 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1491 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1492 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1494 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1496 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1497 forgetting to do so!).
1499 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1500 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1501 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1502 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1503 arguments to enable all three types.
1505 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1506 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1508 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1509 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1510 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1511 updated copy of mts.conf.
1513 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1515 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1516 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1517 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1519 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1521 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1523 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1524 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1525 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1527 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1528 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1529 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1531 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1532 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1533 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1535 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1537 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1539 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1541 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1543 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1544 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1546 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1547 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1548 certain suffix to run properly.
1550 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1551 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1552 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1554 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1555 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1556 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1557 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1558 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1559 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1560 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1562 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1564 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1565 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1566 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1567 until some year far in the future).
1569 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1571 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1573 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1574 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1576 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1577 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1580 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1582 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1583 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1584 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1585 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1586 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1587 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1589 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1591 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1593 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1594 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1595 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1597 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1598 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1599 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1600 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1601 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1602 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1605 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1606 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1607 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1608 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1609 of masquerading individually.
1611 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1612 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1613 GECOS field delimiters.
1615 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1617 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1618 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1619 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1620 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1621 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1622 and explaining the feature.
1624 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1626 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1627 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1630 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1631 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1632 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1634 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1635 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1636 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1637 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1639 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1640 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1641 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1644 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1646 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1647 code to be executed.
1649 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1651 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1653 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1654 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1655 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1656 quotes embedded in them.
1658 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1660 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1661 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1662 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1663 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1664 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1665 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1666 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1669 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1670 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1671 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1672 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1673 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1675 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1677 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1679 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1680 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1681 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1682 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1684 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1687 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1689 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1691 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1693 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1694 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1695 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1697 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1700 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1702 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1703 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1704 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1705 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1706 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1707 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1709 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1710 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1712 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1714 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1717 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1719 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1720 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1721 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1724 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1725 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1726 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1727 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1728 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1729 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1730 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1731 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1732 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1733 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1734 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1735 processing that post has).
1737 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1739 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1740 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1741 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1742 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1743 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1744 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1747 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1749 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1751 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1753 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1755 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1756 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1758 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1761 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1763 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1764 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1765 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1768 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1770 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1771 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1772 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1773 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1774 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1775 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1777 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1779 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1781 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1783 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1784 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1785 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1786 caught again. This works for now.
1788 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1790 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1792 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1793 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1795 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1797 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1798 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1800 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1802 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1804 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1806 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1807 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1809 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1811 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1812 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1813 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1814 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1815 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1818 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1820 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1821 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1822 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1824 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1825 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1828 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1830 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1831 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1832 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1834 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1836 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1837 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1839 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1841 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1844 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1845 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1847 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1848 macros, regardless of platform.
1850 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1851 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1853 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1854 with x-conversions=gzip.
1856 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1858 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1861 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1862 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1863 implicit definition of ioctl().
1865 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1866 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1867 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1868 want to mess with them.
1870 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1872 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1873 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1875 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1876 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1878 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1879 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1880 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1882 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1883 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1884 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1886 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1887 function initgroups.
1889 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1892 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1893 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1896 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1897 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1900 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1901 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1905 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1907 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1908 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1909 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1911 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1912 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1914 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1916 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1918 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1919 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1920 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1921 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1923 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1924 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1926 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1928 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1930 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1932 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1933 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1935 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1937 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1938 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1940 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1941 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1942 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1943 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1945 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1946 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1948 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1950 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1951 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1953 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1955 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1956 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1959 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1961 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1963 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1965 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1966 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1968 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1969 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1970 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1972 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1973 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1974 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1976 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1977 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1978 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1980 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1981 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1984 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1985 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1987 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1988 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1990 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1991 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1993 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1994 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1995 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1997 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1998 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2000 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
2001 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
2002 <elleron@servtech.com>.
2004 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
2005 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
2008 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
2009 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
2011 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
2012 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
2013 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
2014 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
2016 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
2017 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
2019 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2023 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
2024 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
2025 would not be changed.
2027 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
2028 one from the Apache web server.
2030 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
2031 (this should have been done a long time ago).
2033 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
2034 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
2035 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
2037 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
2039 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
2041 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
2042 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
2045 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
2046 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
2047 removes a bad race condition.
2049 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
2052 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
2053 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
2054 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
2056 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
2057 sequence information.
2059 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
2060 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
2062 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
2065 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
2068 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
2070 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
2071 interpret 034 as octal.
2073 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
2075 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
2076 mhstore, and mhbuild.
2078 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
2079 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
2081 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
2082 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
2084 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
2085 in the c_cefile structure when building.
2087 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
2088 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
2090 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
2091 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
2092 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
2094 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2095 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2096 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2098 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2100 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2102 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2103 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2106 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2108 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2109 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2111 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2112 header field information.
2114 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2115 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2117 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2118 values when parsing a content.
2120 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2121 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2123 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2124 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2126 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2127 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2129 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2130 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2132 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2134 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2136 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2138 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2140 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2141 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2144 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2145 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2147 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2148 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2149 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2150 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2151 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2152 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2155 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2157 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2158 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2159 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2161 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2162 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2164 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2166 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2167 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2168 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2169 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2171 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2172 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2175 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2176 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2177 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2178 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2181 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2183 * Released nmh-0.27.
2185 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2186 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2188 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2189 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2190 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2191 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2194 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2195 mhbuild returns an error.
2197 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2198 rename the draft file.
2200 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2201 use a global variable.
2203 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2204 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2206 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2207 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2209 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2210 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2211 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2213 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2214 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2216 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2217 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2220 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2221 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2224 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2225 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2227 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2228 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2229 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2231 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2232 to new function output_content_folder.
2234 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2235 new function output_content_file.
2237 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2238 to new function parse_format_string.
2240 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2241 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2242 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2243 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2245 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2246 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2247 message/external file from ftp.
2249 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2250 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2251 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2253 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2254 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2257 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2260 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2261 new file mhstoresbr.c
2263 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2266 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2267 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2269 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2270 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2272 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2273 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2274 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2276 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2278 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2280 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2281 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2284 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2285 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2287 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2290 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2292 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2294 * Released nmh-0.26.
2296 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2297 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2298 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2299 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2301 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2302 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2303 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2304 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2305 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2307 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2308 But it is not on by default.
2310 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2311 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2313 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2315 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2317 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2319 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2321 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2322 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2324 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2326 * Released nmh-0.25.
2328 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2329 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2330 uses the original name of the library.
2332 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2333 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2336 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2337 list_content and list_debug.
2339 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2341 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2342 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2344 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2346 * Released nmh-0.24.
2348 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2350 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2351 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2353 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2354 large sequence line.
2356 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2358 * Released nmh-0.23.
2360 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2362 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2363 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2364 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2365 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2367 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2368 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2371 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2373 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2375 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2377 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2378 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2380 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2381 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2383 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2384 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2386 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2387 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2389 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2391 * Released nmh-0.22.
2393 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2394 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2396 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2398 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2399 mh-profile(5) man page.
2401 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2402 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2404 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2406 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2408 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2409 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2411 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2413 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2414 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2415 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2417 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2418 source message on the standard input.
2420 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2422 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2423 rather than -rfc934mode.
2425 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2426 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2429 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2430 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2432 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2435 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2437 * Released nmh-0.21.
2439 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2440 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2442 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2445 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2446 to use for text contents.
2448 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2450 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2452 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2454 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2456 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2457 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2459 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2460 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2461 spaces between encoded word are.
2463 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2465 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2466 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2468 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2469 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2470 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2472 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2474 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2475 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2477 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2479 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2481 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2482 ISO-8859-X character set.
2484 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2487 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2488 permissions, not write permissions.
2490 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2491 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2493 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2496 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2498 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2500 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2501 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2503 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2504 message contains valid character set.
2506 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2507 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2509 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2510 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2512 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2513 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2514 between an encoded word and normal text.
2516 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2517 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2519 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2520 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2522 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2525 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2526 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2529 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2530 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2532 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2533 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2535 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2537 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2539 * Released nmh-0.20.
2541 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2543 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2545 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2546 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2547 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2549 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2550 and the To: line was missing.
2552 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2554 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2556 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2558 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2559 watch the POP transaction.
2561 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2562 first, and use it if available.
2564 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2565 first, and use it if available.
2567 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2569 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2571 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2572 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2573 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2576 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2577 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2578 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2580 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2581 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2584 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2586 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2587 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2589 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2591 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2592 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2594 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2595 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2596 message to which you are replying.
2598 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2599 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2600 making group replies.
2602 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2604 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2606 * Released nmh-0.19.
2608 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2609 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2611 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2612 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2613 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2614 to the end of the man page.
2616 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2617 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2618 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2619 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2620 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2621 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2623 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2626 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2627 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2628 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2630 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2631 the next available number above the message number you wish
2634 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2635 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2637 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2638 file sbr/seq_print.c
2640 * flist will now update the current folder.
2642 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2643 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2644 but now undocumented.
2646 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2649 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2650 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2652 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2654 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2655 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2657 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2659 * Released nmh-0.18.
2661 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2662 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2663 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2665 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2666 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2668 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2669 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2670 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2671 previous public/private status.
2673 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2676 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2679 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2680 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2681 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2683 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2684 take option to determine whether it should get current
2685 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2686 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2688 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2690 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2691 wait for stopped processes.
2693 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2694 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2696 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2698 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2700 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2701 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2703 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2704 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2706 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2707 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2708 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2709 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2711 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2714 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2717 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2719 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2720 the debugging output.
2722 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2723 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2725 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2727 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2729 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2730 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2732 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2734 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2735 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2736 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2737 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2738 in the given sequence.
2740 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2741 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2742 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2743 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2744 subdirectories of a given directory.
2746 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2747 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2748 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2750 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2751 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2753 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2755 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2758 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2759 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2760 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2762 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2763 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2764 are calculated at runtime.
2766 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2768 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2770 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2771 about checking for global mh.profile.
2773 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2774 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2775 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2776 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2777 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2778 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2780 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2781 adding message to folder itself.
2783 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2784 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2785 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2788 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2789 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2792 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2793 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2794 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2796 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2797 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2799 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2800 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2801 code to use it yet).

2805 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2807 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never

2811 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2813 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2815 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c

2851 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2853 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2854 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2856 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2859 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2860 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2862 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2863 number of refiled message.
2865 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2867 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2868 for return value of wait().

2878 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2880 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2881 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2882 deal with binary messages, yet).
2884 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2886 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2888 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2889 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2890 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2891 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2892 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2893 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2895 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2896 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2898 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2899 From MH-6.8.4 patch.

2905 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2907 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".

2910 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2913 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2916 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2918 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2919 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2920 which used unsigned chars by default.

2924 * Released nmh-0.15.
2926 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2931 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2933 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2936 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2937 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2938 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2940 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2941 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2943 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2945 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2946 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2948 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2949 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2950 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2951 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2953 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2954 and put in own subroutine.
2956 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2957 and put in own subroutine.
2959 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2960 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2961 refile.c to use new routine.
2963 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2965 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2967 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2970 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2971 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2972 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2974 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2977 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2978 adding message to sequence.

2981 corresponding file in sbr.
2983 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2986 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.

2989 all selected messages from a sequence.
2991 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2992 selected messages to a sequence.
2994 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2997 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2999 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
3000 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
3002 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3004 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

3023 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
3024 environment variable.
3026 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
3027 draft folder facility in nmh.
3029 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h

3041 * Released nmh-0.13.
3043 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
3044 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
3045 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
3046 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
3049 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
3050 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
3052 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3054 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
3055 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
3057 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3059 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

3081 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
3084 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
3085 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
3087 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
3088 will suppress the display of the message header.
3090 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
3092 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
3093 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
3095 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
3097 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
3099 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
3101 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
3102 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3104 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3105 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3107 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3109 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3111 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3112 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3114 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3115 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
3117 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3119 * Released nmh-0.10.

3126 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3128 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
3129 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3131 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3132 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3134 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
3135 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
3137 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3139 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3140 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3142 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3144 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
3145 of missing tabs in regex.

3172 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3174 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3175 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3177 * Released nmh-0.08.
3179 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3180 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3181 locking database itself.
3183 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3185 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3187 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3188 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3191 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3192 rather than mmdf format.
3194 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3195 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3196 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3197 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3199 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3201 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3203 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3206 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3207 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3208 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3210 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3211 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3212 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3214 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3216 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3217 can still easily change this in config.h).
3219 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3220 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3221 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3223 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3225 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3237 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3239 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
3240 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3242 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3243 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3246 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3247 built-in FTP client in mhn.
3249 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
3250 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
3252 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
3254 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
3256 * Added configure check for tzset.

3260 * Released nmh-0.06.
3262 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3263 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3265 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3266 many such machines around anymore.
3268 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3269 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3271 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3272 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3274 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3276 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3277 pre-generated version if necessary.
3279 * Released nmh-0.05.
3281 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3282 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3283 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3284 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3286 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3287 be linked in one pass.
3289 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3291 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3292 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3294 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3296 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3298 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3300 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3301 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3302 become the current folder.
3304 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3306 * Released nmh-0.04.
3308 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3311 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3313 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3314 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3315 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3317 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3319 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3320 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3322 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3324 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3325 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3328 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3329 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3331 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3333 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3334 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3335 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3336 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3337 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3338 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3340 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3342 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3343 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3345 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3346 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3348 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3350 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3351 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3353 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3355 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3356 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3357 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3359 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3361 * Released nmh-0.03.
3363 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3364 .mh_sequence file existed.
3366 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3367 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3369 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3370 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3373 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3375 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3378 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3380 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3381 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3382 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3384 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3386 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3387 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3388 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3390 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

3397 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3399 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3400 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3401 directory from where the source code is located.
3403 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3405 * Released nmh-0.02.

3426 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3427 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path

3431 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3433 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3435 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3436 macro defined on Solaris.
3438 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3440 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3441 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3443 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3444 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable

3459 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3461 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included

3466 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3467 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3469 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3471 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3472 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3473 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3474 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3475 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3476 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3478 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3480 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3482 * Released nmh-0.01.
3484 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3485 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3486 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3489 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3491 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3494 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

3497 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3499 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3501 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3502 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3503 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3504 script to find_program.
3506 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3508 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3509 speed up -recurse option.
3511 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3512 yet, but it compiles :-)
3514 * Changed default location for install to
3515 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3516 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3517 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3520 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3521 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3522 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
