3 o Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
4 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
6 o Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
7 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
10 o Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
11 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
14 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
16 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
17 vi isn't found during build.
19 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
21 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
22 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
24 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
25 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
26 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
28 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
30 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
31 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
33 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
34 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
35 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
36 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
39 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
40 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
41 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
43 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
44 entry in the context file.
46 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
48 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
49 problems on some systems
51 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
52 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
54 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
56 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
57 sendmail isn't found during build.
59 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
61 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
63 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
65 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
66 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
68 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
69 references to the web page and mailing list locations
71 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
72 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
74 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
77 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
79 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
80 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
81 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
83 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
84 was configured with --enable-apop.
86 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
87 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
88 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
90 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
93 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
94 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
95 doesn't guess wrongly.
97 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
99 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
100 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
102 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
103 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
105 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
106 files with numbers as names
108 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
110 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
112 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
114 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
116 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
117 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
119 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
121 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
124 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
125 test/report error writing to stdout
127 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
129 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
131 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
132 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
133 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
135 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
136 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
137 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
139 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
141 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
142 character set used by the current locale
144 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
145 message's filename overflows an int when converted
147 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
148 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
150 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
152 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
155 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
157 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
158 from Michael Richardson.
160 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
161 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
163 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
165 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
166 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
168 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
170 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
171 find sub-parts of the specified part
173 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
175 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
176 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
177 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
178 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
179 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
180 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
181 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
184 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
186 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
187 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
188 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
191 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
192 refiling with -src option.
194 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
196 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
198 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
200 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
201 mailpath being overwritten.
203 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
205 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
206 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
207 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
208 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
209 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
210 reinitializes the tmp file string.
212 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
213 if a format string was read from the profile.
215 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
216 path for the external hook.
218 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
220 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
221 another location for ndbm.
223 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
225 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
227 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
229 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
232 136976 - Handle binary content messages
233 143427 - mh-format.man typo
234 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
235 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
236 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
237 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
238 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
239 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
240 181867 - typo for nmh.man
242 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
244 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
245 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
246 contitional code which will result in cached data to
247 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
248 and parse on the first use.
249 * Remove some unused flag bits.
251 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
253 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
254 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
256 #578 - repl leaks umask
257 #1393 - sortm core dumps
258 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
259 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
260 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
262 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
263 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
265 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
267 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
268 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
270 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
272 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
273 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
274 to docs/README.about.
276 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
278 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
280 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
281 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
282 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
283 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
286 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
288 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
289 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
290 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
291 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
292 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
293 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
296 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
297 summary configure prints out.
299 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
300 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
301 subjectively more readable) format.
303 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
305 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
308 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
310 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
311 19xx when it's not necessary.
313 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
315 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
316 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
319 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
320 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
321 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
322 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
323 the man pages correctly.
325 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
327 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
329 * Finished manpages ali-prev
331 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
332 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
333 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
336 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
337 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
338 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
339 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
341 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
343 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
344 the formatting rules I've been using.
348 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
350 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
351 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
352 used in the manpages.
354 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
355 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
356 read in the contents of the file as the variable
359 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
360 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
361 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
362 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
363 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
364 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
365 bold flags and italicized parameters.
367 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
369 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
370 --with-locking option.
372 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
373 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
374 information was not being communicated to the
375 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
376 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
377 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
378 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
379 undefined symbols problems.
381 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
382 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
383 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
384 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
385 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
386 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
387 for a genuine krb4 installation.
389 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
391 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
392 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
394 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
396 * Made a new ./configure option called
397 "--with-locking" that allows the file
398 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
399 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
401 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
402 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
403 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
404 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
405 the user that these are the valid options, and
406 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
409 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
411 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
412 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
413 committed to supporting flex only, since
414 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
415 string, as well as other problems documented
416 below and on nmh-workers.
418 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
419 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
420 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
423 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
424 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
426 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
428 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
429 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
430 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
432 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
434 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
435 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
437 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
439 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
440 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
441 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
442 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
443 couldn't correctly identify them.
445 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
447 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
448 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
449 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
450 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
451 not depending on an external archive.
453 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
454 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
455 mts/generic is no longer built.
457 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
459 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
460 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
461 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
462 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
463 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
464 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
465 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
466 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
468 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
470 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
471 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
474 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
476 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
477 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
478 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
481 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
482 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
483 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
484 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
486 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
487 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
488 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
489 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
490 merged into the smtp code).
492 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
493 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
494 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
497 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
498 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
499 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
500 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
501 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
502 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
503 in the appropriate Makefile.in
505 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
507 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
508 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
509 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
510 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
511 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
512 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
513 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
514 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
515 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
516 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
517 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
519 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
521 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
522 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
523 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
524 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
525 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
526 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
527 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
528 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
529 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
531 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
533 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
534 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
537 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
539 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
540 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
542 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
544 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
545 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
546 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
547 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
549 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
551 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
552 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
553 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
554 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
555 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
557 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
558 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
560 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
562 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
564 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
565 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
566 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
567 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
569 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
570 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
571 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
572 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
574 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
575 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
576 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
577 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
579 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
580 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
581 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
583 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
585 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
586 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
587 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
588 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
589 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
590 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
593 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
594 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
596 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
597 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
599 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
601 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
603 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
605 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
606 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
607 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
608 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
610 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
612 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
613 be easily changed from "," to "#".
615 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
617 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
619 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
620 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
623 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
625 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
626 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
627 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
628 but not for the subsequent data stream.
630 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
632 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
633 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
634 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
635 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
636 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
638 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
640 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
641 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
643 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
644 cat, also define lorder as echo.
646 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
648 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
650 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
651 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
652 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
654 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
656 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
659 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
660 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
662 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
664 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
665 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
667 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
669 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
670 inc does not need to be setgid.
672 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
674 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
675 library, as found on Debian systems.
677 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
679 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
681 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
682 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
683 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
684 case-insensitivity flag.
686 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
688 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
689 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
691 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
693 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
694 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
695 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
696 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
697 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
698 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
699 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
700 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
701 getting moved aside).
703 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
704 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
706 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
708 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
709 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
710 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
711 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
712 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
713 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
714 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
715 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
716 the prototype, but never sets it.
718 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
719 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
720 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
721 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
722 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
723 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
725 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
726 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
727 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
728 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
729 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
731 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
733 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
734 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
737 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
738 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
739 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
740 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
741 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
742 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
743 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
745 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
747 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
749 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
750 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
751 this works on other systems.
753 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
755 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
756 checks for write failures.
758 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
760 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
762 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
765 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
767 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
769 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
771 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
772 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
775 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
777 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
778 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
779 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
780 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
782 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
784 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
785 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
788 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
789 as well as Makefiles.
791 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
793 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
794 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
795 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
796 should make maintainability easier.
798 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
799 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
800 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
801 whatever you know works.
803 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
805 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
806 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
807 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
809 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
810 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
811 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
812 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
814 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
815 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
816 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
818 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
819 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
820 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
821 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
822 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
824 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
825 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
826 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
827 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
828 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
829 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
830 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
831 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
832 from the BSD version.
834 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
835 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
836 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
838 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
841 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
844 This happens on solaris:
847 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
848 No manual entry for mts.conf.
852 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
854 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
855 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
857 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
859 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
860 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
861 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
862 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
863 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
864 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
865 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
866 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
867 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
868 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
869 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
871 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
872 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
873 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
874 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
875 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
876 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
879 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
880 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
881 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
882 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
883 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
885 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
886 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
888 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
890 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
891 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
892 to stdin, such as exmh.
894 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
895 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
896 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
899 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
901 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
902 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
903 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
904 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
905 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
906 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
907 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
909 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
911 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
912 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
914 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
916 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
917 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
919 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
921 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
924 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
925 along with any -host or -user option.
927 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
929 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
931 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
932 process was fresh in my mind.
934 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
936 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
937 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
939 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
941 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
943 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
946 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
947 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
948 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
949 part of the program's name.
951 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
952 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
955 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
957 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
958 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
959 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
960 single-character format would cause programs using this
961 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
962 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
963 when the format string was one character. This eventually
964 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
967 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
969 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
970 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
971 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
972 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
973 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
974 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
976 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
977 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
978 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
979 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
980 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
981 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
982 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
983 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
985 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
986 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
987 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
988 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
989 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
990 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
991 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
992 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
993 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
994 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
996 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
998 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
999 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1001 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1002 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1004 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1009 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1011 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1012 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1013 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1014 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1016 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1017 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1018 problem in the routine.
1020 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1022 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1023 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1025 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1026 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1027 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1030 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1032 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1033 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1034 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1035 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1036 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1037 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1038 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1039 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1040 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1041 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1043 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1045 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1046 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1047 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1048 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1049 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1050 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1051 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1052 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1053 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1054 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1055 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1056 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1058 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1059 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1060 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1061 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1062 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1064 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1067 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1069 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1070 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1071 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1072 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1075 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1077 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1079 * Applied, after some finessing,
1080 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1082 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1084 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1086 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1087 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1088 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1089 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1091 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1093 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1094 forgetting to do so!).
1096 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1097 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1098 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1099 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1100 arguments to enable all three types.
1102 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1103 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1105 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1106 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1107 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1108 updated copy of mts.conf.
1110 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1112 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1113 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1114 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1116 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1118 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1120 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1121 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1122 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1124 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1125 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1126 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1128 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1129 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1130 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1132 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1134 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1136 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1138 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1140 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1141 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1143 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1144 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1145 certain suffix to run properly.
1147 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1148 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1149 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1151 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1152 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1153 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1154 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1155 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1156 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1157 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1159 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1161 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1162 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1163 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1164 until some year far in the future).
1166 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1168 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1170 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1171 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1173 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1174 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1177 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1179 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1180 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1181 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1182 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1183 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1184 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1186 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1188 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1190 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1191 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1192 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1194 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1195 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1196 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1197 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1198 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1199 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1202 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1203 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1204 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1205 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1206 of masquerading individually.
1208 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1209 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1210 GECOS field delimiters.
1212 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1214 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1215 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1216 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1217 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1218 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1219 and explaining the feature.
1221 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1223 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1224 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1227 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1228 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1229 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1231 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1232 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1233 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1234 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1236 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1237 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1238 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1241 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1243 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1244 code to be executed.
1246 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1248 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1250 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1251 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1252 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1253 quotes embedded in them.
1255 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1257 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1258 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1259 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1260 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1261 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1262 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1263 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1266 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1267 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1268 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1269 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1270 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1272 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1274 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1276 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1277 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1278 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1279 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1281 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1284 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1286 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1288 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1290 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1291 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1292 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1294 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1297 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1299 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1300 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1301 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1302 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1303 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1304 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1306 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1307 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1309 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1311 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1314 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1316 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1317 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1318 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1321 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1322 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1323 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1324 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1325 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1326 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1327 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1328 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1329 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1330 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1331 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1332 processing that post has).
1334 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1336 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1337 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1338 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1339 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1340 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1341 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1344 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1346 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1348 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1350 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1352 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1353 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1355 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1358 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1360 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1361 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1362 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1365 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1367 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1368 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1369 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1370 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1371 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1372 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1374 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1376 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1378 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1380 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1381 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1382 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1383 caught again. This works for now.
1385 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1387 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1389 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1390 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1392 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1394 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1395 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1397 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1399 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1401 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1403 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1404 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1406 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1408 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1409 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1410 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1411 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1412 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1415 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1417 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1418 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1419 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1421 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1422 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1425 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1427 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1428 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1429 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1431 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1433 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1434 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1436 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1438 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1441 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1442 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1444 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1445 macros, regardless of platform.
1447 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1448 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1450 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1451 with x-conversions=gzip.
1453 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1455 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1458 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1459 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1460 implicit definition of ioctl().
1462 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1463 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1464 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1465 want to mess with them.
1467 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1469 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1470 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1472 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1473 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1475 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1476 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1477 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1479 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1480 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1481 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1483 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1484 function initgroups.
1486 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1489 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1490 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1493 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1494 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1497 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1498 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1502 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1504 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1505 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1506 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1508 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1509 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1511 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1513 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1515 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1516 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1517 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1518 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1520 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1521 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1523 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1525 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1527 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1529 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1530 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1532 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1534 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1535 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1537 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1538 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1539 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1540 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1542 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1543 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1545 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1547 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1548 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1550 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1552 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1553 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1556 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1558 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1560 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1562 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1563 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1565 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1566 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1567 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1569 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1570 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1571 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1573 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1574 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1575 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1577 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1578 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1581 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1582 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1584 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1585 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1587 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1588 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1590 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1591 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1592 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1594 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1595 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1597 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1598 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1599 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1601 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1602 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1605 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1606 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1608 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1609 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1610 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1611 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1613 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1614 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1616 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1620 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1621 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1622 would not be changed.
1624 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1625 one from the Apache web server.
1627 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1628 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1630 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1631 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1632 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1634 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1636 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1638 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1639 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1642 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1643 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1644 removes a bad race condition.
1646 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1649 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1650 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1651 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1653 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1654 sequence information.
1656 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1657 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1659 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1662 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1665 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1667 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1668 interpret 034 as octal.
1670 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1672 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1673 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1675 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1676 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1678 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1679 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1681 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1682 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1684 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1685 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1687 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1688 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1689 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1691 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1692 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1693 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1695 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1697 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1699 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1700 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1703 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1705 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1706 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1708 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1709 header field information.
1711 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1712 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1714 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1715 values when parsing a content.
1717 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1718 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1720 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1721 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1723 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1724 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1726 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1727 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1729 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1731 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1733 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1735 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1737 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1738 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1741 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1742 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1744 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1745 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1746 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1747 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1748 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1749 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1752 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1754 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1755 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1756 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1758 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1759 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1761 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1763 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1764 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1765 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1766 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1768 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1769 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1772 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1773 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1774 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1775 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1778 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1780 * Released nmh-0.27.
1782 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1783 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1785 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1786 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1787 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1788 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1791 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1792 mhbuild returns an error.
1794 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1795 rename the draft file.
1797 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1798 use a global variable.
1800 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1801 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1803 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1804 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1806 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1807 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1808 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1810 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1811 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1813 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1814 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1817 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1818 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1821 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1822 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1824 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1825 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1826 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1828 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1829 to new function output_content_folder.
1831 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1832 new function output_content_file.
1834 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1835 to new function parse_format_string.
1837 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1838 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1839 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1840 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1842 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1843 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1844 message/external file from ftp.
1846 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1847 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1848 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1850 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1851 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1854 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1857 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1858 new file mhstoresbr.c
1860 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1863 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1864 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1866 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1867 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1869 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1870 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1871 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1873 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1875 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1877 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1878 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1881 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1882 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1884 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1887 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1889 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1891 * Released nmh-0.26.
1893 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1894 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1895 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1896 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1898 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1899 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1900 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1901 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1902 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1904 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1905 But it is not on by default.
1907 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1908 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1910 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1912 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1914 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1916 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1918 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1919 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1921 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1923 * Released nmh-0.25.
1925 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1926 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1927 uses the original name of the library.
1929 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1930 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1933 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1934 list_content and list_debug.
1936 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1938 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1939 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1941 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1943 * Released nmh-0.24.
1945 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1947 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1948 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1950 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1951 large sequence line.
1953 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1955 * Released nmh-0.23.
1957 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1959 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1960 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1961 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1962 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1964 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1965 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1968 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1970 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1972 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1974 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1975 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1977 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1978 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1980 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1981 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1983 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1984 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1986 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1988 * Released nmh-0.22.
1990 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1991 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1993 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1995 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1996 mh-profile(5) man page.
1998 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1999 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2001 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2003 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2005 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2006 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2008 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2010 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2011 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2012 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2014 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2015 source message on the standard input.
2017 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2019 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2020 rather than -rfc934mode.
2022 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2023 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2026 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2027 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2029 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2032 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2034 * Released nmh-0.21.
2036 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2037 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2039 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2042 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2043 to use for text contents.
2045 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2047 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2049 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2051 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2053 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2054 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2056 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2057 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2058 spaces between encoded word are.
2060 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2062 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2063 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2065 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2066 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2067 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2069 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2071 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2072 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2074 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2076 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2078 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2079 ISO-8859-X character set.
2081 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2084 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2085 permissions, not write permissions.
2087 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2088 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2090 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2093 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2095 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2097 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2098 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2100 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2101 message contains valid character set.
2103 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2104 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2106 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2107 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2109 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2110 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2111 between an encoded word and normal text.
2113 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2114 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2116 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2117 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2119 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2122 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2123 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2126 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2127 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2129 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2130 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2132 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2134 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2136 * Released nmh-0.20.
2138 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2140 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2142 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2143 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2144 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2146 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2147 and the To: line was missing.
2149 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2151 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2153 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2155 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2156 watch the POP transaction.
2158 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2159 first, and use it if available.
2161 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2162 first, and use it if available.
2164 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2166 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2168 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2169 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2170 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2173 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2174 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2175 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2177 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2178 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2181 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2183 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2184 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2186 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2188 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2189 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2191 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2192 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2193 message to which you are replying.
2195 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2196 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2197 making group replies.
2199 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2201 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2203 * Released nmh-0.19.
2205 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2206 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2208 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2209 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2210 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2211 to the end of the man page.
2213 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2214 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2215 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2216 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2217 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2218 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2220 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2223 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2224 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2225 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2227 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2228 the next available number above the message number you wish
2231 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2232 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2234 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2235 file sbr/seq_print.c
2237 * flist will now update the current folder.
2239 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2240 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2241 but now undocumented.
2243 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2246 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2247 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2249 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2251 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2252 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2254 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2256 * Released nmh-0.18.
2258 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2259 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2260 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2262 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2263 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2265 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2266 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2267 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2268 previous public/private status.
2270 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2273 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2276 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2277 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2278 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2280 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2281 take option to determine whether it should get current
2282 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2283 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2285 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2287 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2288 wait for stopped processes.
2290 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2291 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2293 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2295 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2297 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2298 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2300 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2301 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2303 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2304 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2305 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2306 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2308 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2311 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2314 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2316 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2317 the debugging output.
2319 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2320 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2322 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2324 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2326 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2327 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2329 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2331 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2332 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2333 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2334 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2335 in the given sequence.
2337 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2338 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2339 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2340 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2341 subdirectories of a given directory.
2343 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2344 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2345 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2347 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2348 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2350 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2352 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2355 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2356 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2357 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2359 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2360 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2361 are calculated at runtime.
2363 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2365 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2367 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2368 about checking for global mh.profile.
2370 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2371 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2372 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2373 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2374 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2375 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2377 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2378 adding message to folder itself.
2380 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2381 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2382 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2385 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2386 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2389 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2390 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2391 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2393 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2394 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2396 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2397 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2398 code to use it yet).
2400 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2402 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2404 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2405 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2407 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2408 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2410 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2412 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2415 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2417 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2419 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2421 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2423 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2424 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).

2428 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2430 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2432 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2434 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2436 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2437 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2439 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2440 configuration files.
2442 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2444 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2446 * Released nmh-0.17.
2448 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2450 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2451 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2453 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2456 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2457 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2459 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2460 number of refiled message.
2462 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2464 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2465 for return value of wait().
2467 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2469 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2471 * Released nmh-0.16.
2473 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2475 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2477 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2478 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2479 deal with binary messages, yet).
2481 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2483 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2485 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2486 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2487 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2488 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2489 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2490 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2492 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2493 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2495 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2496 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2498 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2499 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2502 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2504 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2506 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2507 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2510 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2513 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2515 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2516 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2517 which used unsigned chars by default.
2519 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2521 * Released nmh-0.15.
2523 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2528 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2530 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2533 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2534 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2535 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2537 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2538 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2540 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2542 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2543 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2545 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2546 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2547 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2548 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2550 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2551 and put in own subroutine.
2553 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2554 and put in own subroutine.
2556 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2557 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2558 refile.c to use new routine.
2560 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2562 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2564 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2567 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2568 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2569 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2571 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2574 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2575 adding message to sequence.
2577 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2578 corresponding file in sbr.
2580 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2583 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2585 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2586 all selected messages from a sequence.
2588 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2589 selected messages to a sequence.
2591 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2594 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2596 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2597 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2599 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2601 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file
2602 sbr/m_gmsg.c to sbr/m_readfolder.c.
2604 Mon May 5 19:57:11 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2606 * Expanded rcvtty man page, and added small patch from
2607 MH-6.8.4 distribution.

2611 * Released nmh-0.14.
2613 * Comment out configure test and code for tgetent to allocate its
2614 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
2616 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2618 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2619 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2620 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2621 environment variable.
2623 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2624 draft folder facility in nmh.
2626 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
2629 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed

2638 * Released nmh-0.13.
2640 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2641 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2642 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2643 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2646 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2647 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2649 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2651 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2652 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2654 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2656 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2657 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.

2669 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
2670 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
2672 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2673 mp->attrstats with macros.
2675 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2678 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2681 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2682 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2684 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2685 will suppress the display of the message header.
2687 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2689 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2690 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2692 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2694 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2696 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2698 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2699 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2701 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2702 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2704 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2706 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2708 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2709 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2711 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2712 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2714 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2716 * Released nmh-0.10.

2723 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2725 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2726 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2728 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2729 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2731 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2732 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2734 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2736 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2737 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2739 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2741 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2744 Sat Mar 8 01:58:22 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2746 * Released nmh-0.09.
2748 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
2750 * Add configure check for killpg.
2752 * msh.c: include <termios.h> instead of <termio.h> and

2757 Thu Mar 6 04:03:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2759 * Added `-mime' and `-nomime' options to `repl'.
2762 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2764 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2766 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2767 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2769 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2771 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2772 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2774 * Released nmh-0.08.
2776 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2777 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2778 locking database itself.
2780 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2782 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2784 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2785 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2788 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2789 rather than mmdf format.
2791 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2792 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2793 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2794 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2796 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2798 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2800 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2803 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2804 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2805 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2807 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2808 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2809 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2811 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2813 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2814 can still easily change this in config.h).
2816 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2817 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2818 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2820 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2822 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2823 than tzset and external timezone variable.

2827 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.
2829 * When ruserpass was added to LIBOBJS, it was missing
2832 * Released nmh-0.07.
2834 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2836 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2837 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2839 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2840 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2843 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2844 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2846 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2847 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2849 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2851 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2853 * Added configure check for tzset.
2855 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2857 * Released nmh-0.06.
2859 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2860 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2862 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2863 many such machines around anymore.
2865 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2866 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2868 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2869 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2871 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2873 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2874 pre-generated version if necessary.
2876 * Released nmh-0.05.
2878 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2879 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2880 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2881 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2883 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2884 be linked in one pass.
2886 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2888 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2889 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2891 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2893 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2895 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2897 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2898 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2899 become the current folder.
2901 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2903 * Released nmh-0.04.
2905 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2908 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2910 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2911 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2912 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2914 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2916 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2917 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2919 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2921 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2922 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2925 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2926 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2928 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2930 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2931 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2932 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2933 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2934 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2935 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2937 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2939 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2940 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2942 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2943 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2945 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2947 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2948 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2950 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2952 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2953 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2954 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2956 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2958 * Released nmh-0.03.
2960 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2961 .mh_sequence file existed.
2963 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2964 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2966 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2967 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2970 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2972 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2975 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2977 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2978 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2979 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2981 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2983 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2984 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2985 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2987 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2989 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2990 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2992 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2994 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2996 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2997 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2998 directory from where the source code is located.
3000 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3002 * Released nmh-0.02.
3004 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3006 * Split mhook man page into man pages for rcvdist, rcvpack,
3009 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3011 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3012 and sys_nerr directly.
3014 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3016 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3018 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3020 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3022 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3023 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3024 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3025 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3026 rather than in script.
3028 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3030 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3032 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3033 macro defined on Solaris.
3035 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3037 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3038 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3040 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3041 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3042 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3043 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3046 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3048 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3049 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3051 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3054 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3056 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3058 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3059 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3061 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3063 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3064 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3066 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3068 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3069 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3070 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3071 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3072 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3073 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3075 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3077 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3079 * Released nmh-0.01.
3081 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3082 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3083 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3086 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3088 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3091 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3093 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3094 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3096 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3098 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3099 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3100 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3101 script to find_program.
3103 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3105 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3106 speed up -recurse option.
3108 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3109 yet, but it compiles :-)
3111 * Changed default location for install to
3112 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3113 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3114 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3117 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3118 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3119 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
