1 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
3 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
4 handling multi column characters.
6 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
8 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
10 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
12 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
13 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
16 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
18 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
20 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
22 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
25 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
27 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
30 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
32 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
33 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
34 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
35 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
37 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
39 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
40 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
41 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
42 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
43 where configure's autodetection fails.
45 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
47 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
48 configure script change.
50 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
52 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
53 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
54 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
57 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
59 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
60 the context is only read once.
62 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
64 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
65 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
67 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
69 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
70 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
72 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
73 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
76 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
77 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
80 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
82 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
83 vi isn't found during build.
85 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
87 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
88 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
90 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
91 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
92 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
94 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
96 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
97 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
99 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
100 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
101 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
102 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
105 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
106 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
107 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
109 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
110 entry in the context file.
112 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
114 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
115 problems on some systems
117 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
118 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
120 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
122 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
123 sendmail isn't found during build.
125 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
127 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
129 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
131 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
132 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
134 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
135 references to the web page and mailing list locations
137 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
138 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
140 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
143 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
145 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
146 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
147 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
149 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
150 was configured with --enable-apop.
152 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
153 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
154 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
156 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
157 new versions of flex.
159 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
160 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
161 doesn't guess wrongly.
163 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
165 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
166 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
168 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
169 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
171 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
172 files with numbers as names
174 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
176 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
178 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
180 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
182 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
183 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
185 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
187 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
190 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
191 test/report error writing to stdout
193 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
195 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
197 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
198 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
199 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
201 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
202 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
203 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
205 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
207 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
208 character set used by the current locale
210 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
211 message's filename overflows an int when converted
213 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
214 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
216 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
218 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
221 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
223 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
224 from Michael Richardson.
226 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
227 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
229 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
231 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
232 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
234 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
236 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
237 find sub-parts of the specified part
239 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
241 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
242 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
243 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
244 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
245 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
246 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
247 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
250 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
252 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
253 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
254 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
257 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
258 refiling with -src option.
260 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
262 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
264 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
266 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
267 mailpath being overwritten.
269 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
271 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
272 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
273 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
274 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
275 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
276 reinitializes the tmp file string.
278 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
279 if a format string was read from the profile.
281 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
282 path for the external hook.
284 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
286 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
287 another location for ndbm.
289 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
291 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
293 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
295 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
298 136976 - Handle binary content messages
299 143427 - mh-format.man typo
300 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
301 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
302 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
303 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
304 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
305 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
306 181867 - typo for nmh.man
308 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
310 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
311 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
312 contitional code which will result in cached data to
313 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
314 and parse on the first use.
315 * Remove some unused flag bits.
317 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
319 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
320 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
322 #578 - repl leaks umask
323 #1393 - sortm core dumps
324 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
325 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
326 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
328 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
329 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
331 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
333 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
334 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
336 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
338 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
339 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
340 to docs/README.about.
342 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
344 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
346 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
347 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
348 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
349 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
352 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
354 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
355 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
356 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
357 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
358 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
359 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
362 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
363 summary configure prints out.
365 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
366 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
367 subjectively more readable) format.
369 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
371 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
374 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
376 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
377 19xx when it's not necessary.
379 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
381 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
382 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
385 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
386 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
387 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
388 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
389 the man pages correctly.
391 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
393 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
395 * Finished manpages ali-prev
397 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
398 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
399 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
402 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
403 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
404 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
405 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
407 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
409 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
410 the formatting rules I've been using.
414 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
416 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
417 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
418 used in the manpages.
420 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
421 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
422 read in the contents of the file as the variable
425 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
426 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
427 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
428 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
429 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
430 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
431 bold flags and italicized parameters.
433 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
435 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
436 --with-locking option.
438 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
439 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
440 information was not being communicated to the
441 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
442 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
443 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
444 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
445 undefined symbols problems.
447 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
448 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
449 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
450 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
451 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
452 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
453 for a genuine krb4 installation.
455 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
457 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
458 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
460 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
462 * Made a new ./configure option called
463 "--with-locking" that allows the file
464 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
465 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
467 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
468 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
469 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
470 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
471 the user that these are the valid options, and
472 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
475 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
477 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
478 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
479 committed to supporting flex only, since
480 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
481 string, as well as other problems documented
482 below and on nmh-workers.
484 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
485 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
486 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
489 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
490 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
492 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
494 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
495 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
496 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
498 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
500 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
501 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
503 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
505 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
506 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
507 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
508 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
509 couldn't correctly identify them.
511 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
513 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
514 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
515 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
516 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
517 not depending on an external archive.
519 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
520 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
521 mts/generic is no longer built.
523 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
525 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
526 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
527 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
528 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
529 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
530 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
531 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
532 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
534 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
536 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
537 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
540 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
542 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
543 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
544 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
547 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
548 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
549 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
550 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
552 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
553 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
554 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
555 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
556 merged into the smtp code).
558 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
559 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
560 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
563 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
564 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
565 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
566 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
567 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
568 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
569 in the appropriate Makefile.in
571 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
573 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
574 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
575 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
576 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
577 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
578 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
579 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
580 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
581 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
582 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
583 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
585 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
587 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
588 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
589 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
590 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
591 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
592 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
593 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
594 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
595 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
597 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
599 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
600 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
603 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
605 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
606 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
608 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
610 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
611 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
612 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
613 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
615 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
617 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
618 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
619 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
620 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
621 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
623 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
624 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
626 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
628 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
630 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
631 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
632 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
633 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
635 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
636 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
637 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
638 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
640 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
641 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
642 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
643 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
645 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
646 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
647 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
649 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
651 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
652 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
653 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
654 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
655 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
656 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
659 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
660 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
662 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
663 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
665 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
667 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
669 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
671 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
672 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
673 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
674 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
676 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
678 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
679 be easily changed from "," to "#".
681 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
683 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
685 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
686 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
689 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
691 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
692 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
693 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
694 but not for the subsequent data stream.
696 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
698 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
699 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
700 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
701 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
702 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
704 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
706 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
707 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
709 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
710 cat, also define lorder as echo.
712 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
714 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
716 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
717 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
718 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
720 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
722 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
725 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
726 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
728 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
730 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
731 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
733 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
735 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
736 inc does not need to be setgid.
738 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
740 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
741 library, as found on Debian systems.
743 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
745 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
747 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
748 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
749 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
750 case-insensitivity flag.
752 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
754 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
755 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
757 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
759 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
760 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
761 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
762 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
763 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
764 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
765 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
766 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
767 getting moved aside).
769 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
770 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
772 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
774 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
775 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
776 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
777 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
778 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
779 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
780 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
781 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
782 the prototype, but never sets it.
784 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
785 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
786 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
787 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
788 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
789 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
791 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
792 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
793 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
794 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
795 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
797 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
799 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
800 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
803 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
804 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
805 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
806 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
807 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
808 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
809 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
811 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
813 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
815 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
816 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
817 this works on other systems.
819 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
821 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
822 checks for write failures.
824 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
826 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
828 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
831 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
833 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
835 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
837 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
838 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
841 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
843 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
844 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
845 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
846 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
848 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
850 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
851 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
854 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
855 as well as Makefiles.
857 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
859 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
860 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
861 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
862 should make maintainability easier.
864 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
865 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
866 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
867 whatever you know works.
869 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
871 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
872 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
873 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
875 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
876 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
877 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
878 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
880 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
881 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
882 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
884 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
885 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
886 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
887 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
888 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
890 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
891 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
892 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
893 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
894 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
895 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
896 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
897 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
898 from the BSD version.
900 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
901 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
902 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
904 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
907 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
910 This happens on solaris:
913 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
914 No manual entry for mts.conf.
918 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
920 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
921 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
923 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
925 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
926 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
927 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
928 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
929 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
930 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
931 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
932 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
933 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
934 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
935 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
937 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
938 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
939 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
940 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
941 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
942 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
945 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
946 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
947 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
948 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
949 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
951 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
952 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
954 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
956 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
957 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
958 to stdin, such as exmh.
960 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
961 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
962 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
965 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
967 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
968 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
969 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
970 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
971 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
972 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
973 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
975 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
977 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
978 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
980 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
982 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
983 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
985 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
987 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
990 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
991 along with any -host or -user option.
993 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
995 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
997 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
998 process was fresh in my mind.
1000 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1002 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1003 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1005 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1007 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1009 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1012 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1013 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1014 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1015 part of the program's name.
1017 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1018 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1021 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1023 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1024 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1025 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1026 single-character format would cause programs using this
1027 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1028 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1029 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1030 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1033 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1035 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1036 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1037 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1038 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1039 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1040 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1042 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1043 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1044 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1045 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1046 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1047 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1048 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1049 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1051 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1052 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1053 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1054 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1055 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1056 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1057 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1058 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1059 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1060 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1062 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1064 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1065 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1067 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1068 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1070 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1075 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1077 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1078 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1079 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1080 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1082 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1083 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1084 problem in the routine.
1086 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1088 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1089 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1091 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1092 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1093 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1096 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1098 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1099 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1100 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1101 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1102 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1103 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1104 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1105 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1106 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1107 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1109 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1111 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1112 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1113 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1114 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1115 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1116 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1117 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1118 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1119 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1120 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1121 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1122 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1124 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1125 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1126 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1127 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1128 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1130 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1133 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1135 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1136 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1137 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1138 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1141 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1143 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1145 * Applied, after some finessing,
1146 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1148 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1150 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1152 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1153 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1154 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1155 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1157 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1159 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1160 forgetting to do so!).
1162 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1163 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1164 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1165 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1166 arguments to enable all three types.
1168 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1169 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1171 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1172 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1173 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1174 updated copy of mts.conf.
1176 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1178 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1179 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1180 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1182 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1184 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1186 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1187 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1188 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1190 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1191 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1192 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1194 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1195 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1196 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1198 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1200 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1202 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1204 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1206 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1207 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1209 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1210 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1211 certain suffix to run properly.
1213 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1214 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1215 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1217 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1218 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1219 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1220 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1221 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1222 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1223 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1225 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1227 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1228 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1229 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1230 until some year far in the future).
1232 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1234 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1236 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1237 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1239 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1240 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1243 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1245 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1246 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1247 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1248 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1249 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1250 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1252 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1254 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1256 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1257 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1258 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1260 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1261 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1262 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1263 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1264 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1265 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1268 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1269 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1270 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1271 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1272 of masquerading individually.
1274 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1275 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1276 GECOS field delimiters.
1278 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1280 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1281 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1282 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1283 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1284 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1285 and explaining the feature.
1287 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1289 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1290 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1293 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1294 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1295 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1297 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1298 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1299 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1300 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1302 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1303 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1304 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1307 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1309 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1310 code to be executed.
1312 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1314 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1316 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1317 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1318 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1319 quotes embedded in them.
1321 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1323 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1324 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1325 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1326 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1327 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1328 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1329 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1332 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1333 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1334 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1335 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1336 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1338 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1340 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1342 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1343 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1344 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1345 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1347 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1350 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1352 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1354 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1356 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1357 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1358 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1360 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1363 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1365 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1366 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1367 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1368 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1369 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1370 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1372 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1373 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1375 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1377 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1380 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1382 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1383 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1384 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1387 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1388 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1389 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1390 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1391 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1392 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1393 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1394 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1395 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1396 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1397 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1398 processing that post has).
1400 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1402 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1403 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1404 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1405 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1406 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1407 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1410 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1412 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1414 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1416 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1418 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1419 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1421 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1424 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1426 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1427 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1428 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1431 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1433 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1434 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1435 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1436 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1437 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1438 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1440 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1442 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1444 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1446 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1447 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1448 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1449 caught again. This works for now.
1451 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1453 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1455 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1456 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1458 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1460 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1461 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1463 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1465 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1467 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1469 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1470 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1472 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1474 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1475 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1476 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1477 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1478 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1481 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1483 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1484 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1485 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1487 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1488 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1491 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1493 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1494 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1495 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1497 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1499 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1500 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1502 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1504 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1507 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1508 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1510 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1511 macros, regardless of platform.
1513 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1514 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1516 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1517 with x-conversions=gzip.
1519 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1521 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1524 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1525 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1526 implicit definition of ioctl().
1528 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1529 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1530 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1531 want to mess with them.
1533 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1535 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1536 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1538 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1539 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1541 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1542 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1543 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1545 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1546 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1547 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1549 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1550 function initgroups.
1552 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1555 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1556 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1559 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1560 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1563 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1564 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1568 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1570 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1571 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1572 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1574 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1575 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1577 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1579 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1581 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1582 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1583 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1584 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1586 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1587 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1589 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1591 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1593 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1595 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1596 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1598 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1600 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1601 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1603 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1604 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1605 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1606 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1608 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1609 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1611 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1613 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1614 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1616 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1618 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1619 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1622 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1624 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1626 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1628 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1629 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1631 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1632 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1633 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1635 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1636 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1637 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1639 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1640 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1641 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1643 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1644 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1647 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1648 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1650 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1651 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1653 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1654 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1656 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1657 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1658 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1660 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1661 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1663 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1664 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1665 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1667 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1668 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1671 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1672 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1674 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1675 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1676 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1677 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1679 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1680 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1682 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1686 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1687 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1688 would not be changed.
1690 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1691 one from the Apache web server.
1693 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1694 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1696 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1697 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1698 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1700 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1702 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1704 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1705 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1708 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1709 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1710 removes a bad race condition.
1712 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1715 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1716 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1717 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1719 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1720 sequence information.
1722 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1723 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1725 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1728 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1731 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1733 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1734 interpret 034 as octal.
1736 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1738 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1739 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1741 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1742 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1744 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1745 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1747 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1748 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1750 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1751 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1753 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1754 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1755 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1757 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1758 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1759 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1761 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1763 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1765 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1766 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1769 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1771 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1772 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1774 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1775 header field information.
1777 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1778 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1780 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1781 values when parsing a content.
1783 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1784 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1786 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1787 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1789 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1790 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1792 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1793 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1795 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1797 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1799 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1801 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1803 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1804 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1807 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1808 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1810 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1811 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1812 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1813 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1814 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1815 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1818 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1820 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1821 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1822 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1824 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1825 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1827 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1829 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1830 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1831 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1832 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1834 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1835 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1838 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1839 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1840 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1841 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1844 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1846 * Released nmh-0.27.
1848 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1849 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1851 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1852 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1853 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1854 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1857 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1858 mhbuild returns an error.
1860 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1861 rename the draft file.
1863 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1864 use a global variable.
1866 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1867 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1869 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1870 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1872 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1873 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1874 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1876 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1877 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1879 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1880 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1883 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1884 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1887 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1888 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1890 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1891 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1892 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1894 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1895 to new function output_content_folder.
1897 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1898 new function output_content_file.
1900 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1901 to new function parse_format_string.
1903 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1904 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1905 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1906 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1908 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1909 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1910 message/external file from ftp.
1912 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1913 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1914 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1916 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1917 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1920 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1923 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1924 new file mhstoresbr.c
1926 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1929 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1930 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1932 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1933 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1935 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1936 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1937 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1939 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1941 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1943 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1944 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1947 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1948 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1950 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1953 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1955 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1957 * Released nmh-0.26.
1959 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1960 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1961 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1962 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1964 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1965 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1966 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1967 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1968 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1970 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1971 But it is not on by default.
1973 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1974 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1976 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1978 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1980 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1982 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1984 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1985 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1987 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1989 * Released nmh-0.25.
1991 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1992 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1993 uses the original name of the library.
1995 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1996 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1999 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2000 list_content and list_debug.
2002 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2004 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2005 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2007 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2009 * Released nmh-0.24.
2011 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2013 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2014 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2016 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2017 large sequence line.
2019 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2021 * Released nmh-0.23.
2023 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2025 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2026 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2027 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2028 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2030 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2031 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2034 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2036 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2038 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2040 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2041 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2043 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2044 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2046 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2047 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2049 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2050 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2052 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2054 * Released nmh-0.22.
2056 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2057 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2059 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2061 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2062 mh-profile(5) man page.
2064 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2065 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2067 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2069 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2071 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2072 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2074 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2076 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2077 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2078 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2080 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2081 source message on the standard input.
2083 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2085 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2086 rather than -rfc934mode.
2088 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2089 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2092 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2093 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2095 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2098 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2100 * Released nmh-0.21.
2102 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2103 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2105 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2108 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2109 to use for text contents.
2111 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2113 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2115 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2117 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2119 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2120 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2122 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2123 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2124 spaces between encoded word are.
2126 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2128 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2129 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2131 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2132 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2133 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2135 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2137 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2138 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2140 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2142 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2144 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2145 ISO-8859-X character set.
2147 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2150 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2151 permissions, not write permissions.
2153 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2154 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2156 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2159 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2161 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2163 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2164 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2166 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2167 message contains valid character set.
2169 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2170 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2172 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2173 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2175 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2176 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2177 between an encoded word and normal text.
2179 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2180 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2182 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2183 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2185 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2188 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2189 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2192 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2193 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2195 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2196 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2198 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2200 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2202 * Released nmh-0.20.
2204 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2206 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2208 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2209 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2210 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2212 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2213 and the To: line was missing.
2215 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2217 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2219 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2221 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2222 watch the POP transaction.
2224 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2225 first, and use it if available.
2227 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2228 first, and use it if available.
2230 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2232 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2234 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2235 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2236 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2239 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2240 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2241 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2243 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2244 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2247 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2249 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2250 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2252 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2254 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2255 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2257 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2258 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2259 message to which you are replying.
2261 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2262 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2263 making group replies.
2265 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2267 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2269 * Released nmh-0.19.
2271 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2272 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2274 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2275 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2276 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2277 to the end of the man page.
2279 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2280 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2281 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2282 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2283 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2284 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2286 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2289 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2290 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2291 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2293 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2294 the next available number above the message number you wish
2297 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2298 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2300 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2301 file sbr/seq_print.c
2303 * flist will now update the current folder.
2305 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2306 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2307 but now undocumented.
2309 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2312 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2313 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2315 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2317 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2318 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2320 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2322 * Released nmh-0.18.
2324 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2325 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2326 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2328 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2329 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2331 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2332 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2333 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2334 previous public/private status.
2336 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2339 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2342 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2343 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2344 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2346 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2347 take option to determine whether it should get current
2348 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2349 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2351 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2353 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2354 wait for stopped processes.
2356 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2357 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2359 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2361 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2363 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2364 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2366 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2367 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2369 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2370 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2371 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2372 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2374 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2377 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2380 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2382 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2383 the debugging output.
2385 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2386 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2388 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2390 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2392 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2393 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2395 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2397 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2398 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2399 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2400 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2401 in the given sequence.
2403 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2404 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2405 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2406 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2407 subdirectories of a given directory.
2409 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2410 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2411 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2413 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2414 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2416 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2418 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2421 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2422 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2423 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2425 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2426 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2427 are calculated at runtime.
2429 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2431 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2433 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2434 about checking for global mh.profile.
2436 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2437 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2438 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2439 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2440 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2441 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2443 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2444 adding message to folder itself.
2446 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2447 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2448 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2451 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2452 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2455 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2456 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2457 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2459 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2460 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2462 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2463 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2464 code to use it yet).
2466 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2468 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2470 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2471 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2473 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2474 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2476 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2478 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2481 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2483 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2485 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2487 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2489 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2490 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2492 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2494 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2496 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2498 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2500 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2502 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2503 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2505 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2506 configuration files.
2508 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2510 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2512 * Released nmh-0.17.
2514 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2516 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2517 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2519 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2522 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2523 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2525 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2526 number of refiled message.
2528 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2530 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2531 for return value of wait().
2533 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2535 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2537 * Released nmh-0.16.
2539 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2541 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2543 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2544 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2545 deal with binary messages, yet).
2547 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2549 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2551 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2552 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2553 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2554 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2555 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2556 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2558 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2559 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2561 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2562 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2564 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2565 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2568 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2570 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2572 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2573 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2576 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2579 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2581 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2582 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2583 which used unsigned chars by default.
2585 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2587 * Released nmh-0.15.
2589 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2592 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2594 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2596 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2599 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2600 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2601 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2603 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2604 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2606 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2608 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2609 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2611 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2612 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2613 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2614 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2616 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2617 and put in own subroutine.
2619 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2620 and put in own subroutine.
2622 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2623 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2624 refile.c to use new routine.
2626 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2628 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2630 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2633 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2634 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2635 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2637 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2640 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2641 adding message to sequence.
2643 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2644 corresponding file in sbr.
2646 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2649 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2651 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2652 all selected messages from a sequence.
2654 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2655 selected messages to a sequence.
2657 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2660 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2662 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2663 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2665 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2667 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file
2668 sbr/m_gmsg.c to sbr/m_readfolder.c.
2670 Mon May 5 19:57:11 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2672 * Expanded rcvtty man page, and added small patch from
2673 MH-6.8.4 distribution.

2677 * Released nmh-0.14.
2679 * Comment out configure test and code for tgetent to allocate its
2680 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
2682 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2684 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2685 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2686 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2687 environment variable.
2689 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2690 draft folder facility in nmh.
2692 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
2695 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed

2699 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
2702 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2704 * Released nmh-0.13.
2706 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2707 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2708 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2709 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2712 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2713 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2715 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2717 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2718 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2720 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2722 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2723 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.
2725 Mon Apr 21 02:19:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2727 * Released nmh-0.12.
2729 * Had set_exists and unset_exists macros backwards.

2735 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
2736 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
2738 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2739 mp->attrstats with macros.
2741 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2744 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2747 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2748 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2750 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2751 will suppress the display of the message header.
2753 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2755 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2756 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2758 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2760 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2762 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2764 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2765 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2767 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2768 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2770 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2772 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2774 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2775 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2777 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2778 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2780 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2782 * Released nmh-0.10.

2789 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2791 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2792 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2794 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2795 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2797 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2798 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2800 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2802 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2803 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2805 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2807 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
2808 of missing tabs in regex.
2810 Sat Mar 8 01:58:22 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2812 * Released nmh-0.09.
2814 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
2816 * Add configure check for killpg.
2818 * msh.c: include <termios.h> instead of <termio.h> and
2821 * prompter.c: don't include <sys/ioctl.h> anymore.
2823 Thu Mar 6 04:03:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2825 * Added `-mime' and `-nomime' options to `repl'.
2828 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2830 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2832 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2833 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2835 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2837 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2838 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2840 * Released nmh-0.08.
2842 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2843 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2844 locking database itself.
2846 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2848 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2850 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2851 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2854 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2855 rather than mmdf format.
2857 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2858 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2859 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2860 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2862 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2864 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2866 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2869 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2870 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2871 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2873 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2874 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2875 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2877 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2879 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2880 can still easily change this in config.h).
2882 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2883 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2884 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2886 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2888 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2889 than tzset and external timezone variable.
2891 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2893 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.
2895 * When ruserpass was added to LIBOBJS, it was missing
2898 * Released nmh-0.07.
2900 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2902 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2903 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2905 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2906 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2909 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2910 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2912 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2913 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2915 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2917 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2919 * Added configure check for tzset.
2921 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2923 * Released nmh-0.06.
2925 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2926 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2928 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2929 many such machines around anymore.
2931 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2932 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2934 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2935 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2937 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2939 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2940 pre-generated version if necessary.
2942 * Released nmh-0.05.
2944 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2945 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2946 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2947 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2949 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2950 be linked in one pass.
2952 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2954 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2955 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2957 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2959 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2961 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2963 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2964 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2965 become the current folder.
2967 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2969 * Released nmh-0.04.
2971 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2974 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2976 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2977 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2978 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2980 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2982 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2983 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2985 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2987 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2988 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2991 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2992 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2994 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2996 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2997 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2998 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2999 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3000 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3001 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3003 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3005 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3006 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3008 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3009 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3011 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3013 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3014 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3016 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3018 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3019 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3020 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3022 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3024 * Released nmh-0.03.
3026 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3027 .mh_sequence file existed.
3029 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3030 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3032 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3033 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3036 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3038 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3041 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3043 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3044 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3045 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3047 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3049 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3050 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3051 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3053 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3055 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3056 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3058 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3060 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3062 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3063 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3064 directory from where the source code is located.
3066 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3068 * Released nmh-0.02.
3070 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3072 * Split mhook man page into man pages for rcvdist, rcvpack,
3075 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3077 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3078 and sys_nerr directly.
3080 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3082 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3084 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3086 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3088 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3089 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3090 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3091 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3092 rather than in script.
3094 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3096 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3098 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3099 macro defined on Solaris.
3101 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3103 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3104 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3106 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3107 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3108 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3109 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3112 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3114 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3115 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3117 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3120 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3122 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3124 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3125 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3127 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3129 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3130 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3132 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3134 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3135 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3136 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3137 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3138 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3139 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3141 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3143 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3145 * Released nmh-0.01.
3147 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3148 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3149 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3152 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3154 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3157 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3159 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3160 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3162 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3164 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3165 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3166 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3167 script to find_program.
3169 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3171 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3172 speed up -recurse option.
3174 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3175 yet, but it compiles :-)
3177 * Changed default location for install to
3178 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3179 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3180 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3183 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3184 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3185 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
