1 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
3 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
4 from Michael Richardson.
6 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
7 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
9 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
11 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
12 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
14 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
16 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
17 find sub-parts of the specified part
19 2003-9-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
20 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
22 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
24 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
27 136976 - Handle binary content messages
28 143427 - mh-format.man typo
29 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
30 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
31 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
32 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
33 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
34 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
35 181867 - typo for nmh.man
37 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
39 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
40 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
41 contitional code which will result in cached data to
42 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
43 and parse on the first use.
44 * Remove some unused flag bits.
46 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
48 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
49 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
51 #578 - repl leaks umask
52 #1393 - sortm core dumps
53 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
54 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
55 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
57 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
58 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
60 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
62 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
63 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
65 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
67 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
68 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
71 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
73 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
75 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
76 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
77 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
78 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
81 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
83 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
84 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
85 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
86 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
87 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
88 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
91 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
92 summary configure prints out.
94 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
95 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
96 subjectively more readable) format.
98 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
100 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
103 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
105 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
106 19xx when it's not necessary.
108 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
110 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
111 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
114 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
115 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
116 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
117 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
118 the man pages correctly.
120 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
122 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
124 * Finished manpages ali-prev
126 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
127 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
128 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
131 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
132 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
133 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
134 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
136 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
138 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
139 the formatting rules I've been using.
143 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
145 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
146 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
147 used in the manpages.
149 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
150 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
151 read in the contents of the file as the variable
154 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
155 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
156 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
157 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
158 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
159 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
160 bold flags and italicized parameters.
162 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
164 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
165 --with-locking option.
167 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
168 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
169 information was not being communicated to the
170 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
171 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
172 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
173 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
174 undefined symbols problems.
176 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
177 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
178 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
179 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
180 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
181 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
182 for a genuine krb4 installation.
184 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
186 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
187 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
189 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
191 * Made a new ./configure option called
192 "--with-locking" that allows the file
193 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
194 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
196 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
197 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
198 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
199 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
200 the user that these are the valid options, and
201 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
204 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
206 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
207 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
208 committed to supporting flex only, since
209 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
210 string, as well as other problems documented
211 below and on nmh-workers.
213 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
214 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
215 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
218 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
219 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
221 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
223 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
224 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
225 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
227 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
229 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
230 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
232 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
234 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
235 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
236 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
237 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
238 couldn't correctly identify them.
240 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
242 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
243 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
244 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
245 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
246 not depending on an external archive.
248 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
249 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
250 mts/generic is no longer built.
252 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
254 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
255 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
256 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
257 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
258 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
259 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
260 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
261 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
263 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
265 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
266 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
269 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
271 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
272 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
273 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
276 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
277 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
278 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
279 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
281 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
282 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
283 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
284 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
285 merged into the smtp code).
287 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
288 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
289 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
292 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
293 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
294 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
295 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
296 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
297 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
298 in the appropriate Makefile.in
300 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
302 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
303 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
304 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
305 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
306 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
307 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
308 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
309 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
310 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
311 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
312 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
314 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
316 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
317 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
318 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
319 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
320 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
321 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
322 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
323 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
324 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
326 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
328 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
329 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
332 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
334 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
335 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
337 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
339 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
340 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
341 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
342 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
344 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
346 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
347 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
348 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
349 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
350 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
352 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
353 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
355 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
357 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
359 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
360 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
361 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
362 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
364 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
365 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
366 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
367 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
369 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
370 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
371 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
372 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
374 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
375 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
376 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
378 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
380 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
381 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
382 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
383 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
384 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
385 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
388 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
389 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
391 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
392 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
394 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
396 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
398 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
400 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
401 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
402 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
403 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
405 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
407 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
408 be easily changed from "," to "#".
410 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
412 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
414 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
415 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
418 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
420 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
421 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
422 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
423 but not for the subsequent data stream.
425 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
427 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
428 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
429 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
430 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
431 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
433 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
435 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
436 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
438 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
439 cat, also define lorder as echo.
441 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
443 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
445 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
446 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
447 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
449 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
451 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
454 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
455 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
457 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
459 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
460 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
462 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
464 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
465 inc does not need to be setgid.
467 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
469 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
470 library, as found on Debian systems.
472 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
474 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
476 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
477 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
478 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
479 case-insensitivity flag.
481 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
483 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
484 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
486 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
488 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
489 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
490 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
491 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
492 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
493 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
494 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
495 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
496 getting moved aside).
498 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
499 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
501 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
503 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
504 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
505 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
506 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
507 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
508 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
509 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
510 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
511 the prototype, but never sets it.
513 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
514 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
515 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
516 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
517 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
518 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
520 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
521 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
522 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
523 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
524 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
526 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
528 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
529 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
532 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
533 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
534 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
535 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
536 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
537 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
538 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
540 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
542 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
544 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
545 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
546 this works on other systems.
548 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
550 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
551 checks for write failures.
553 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
555 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
557 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
560 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
562 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
564 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
566 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
567 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
570 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
572 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
573 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
574 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
575 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
577 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
579 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
580 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
583 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
584 as well as Makefiles.
586 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
588 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
589 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
590 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
591 should make maintainability easier.
593 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
594 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
595 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
596 whatever you know works.
598 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
600 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
601 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
602 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
604 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
605 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
606 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
607 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
609 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
610 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
611 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
613 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
614 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
615 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
616 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
617 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
619 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
620 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
621 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
622 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
623 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
624 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
625 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
626 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
627 from the BSD version.
629 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
630 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
631 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
633 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
636 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
639 This happens on solaris:
642 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
643 No manual entry for mts.conf.
647 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
649 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
650 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
652 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
654 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
655 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
656 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
657 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
658 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
659 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
660 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
661 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
662 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
663 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
664 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
666 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
667 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
668 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
669 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
670 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
671 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
674 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
675 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
676 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
677 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
678 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
680 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
681 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
683 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
685 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
686 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
687 to stdin, such as exmh.
689 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
690 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
691 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
694 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
696 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
697 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
698 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
699 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
700 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
701 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
702 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
704 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
706 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
707 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
709 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
711 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
712 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
714 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
716 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
719 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
720 along with any -host or -user option.
722 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
724 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
726 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
727 process was fresh in my mind.
729 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
731 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
732 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
734 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
736 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
738 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
741 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
742 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
743 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
744 part of the program's name.
746 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
747 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
750 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
752 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
753 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
754 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
755 single-character format would cause programs using this
756 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
757 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
758 when the format string was one character. This eventually
759 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
762 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
764 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
765 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
766 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
767 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
768 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
769 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
771 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
772 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
773 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
774 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
775 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
776 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
777 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
778 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
780 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
781 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
782 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
783 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
784 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
785 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
786 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
787 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
788 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
789 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
791 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
793 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
794 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
796 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
797 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
799 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
804 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
806 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
807 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
808 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
809 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
811 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
812 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
813 problem in the routine.
815 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
817 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
818 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
820 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
821 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
822 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
825 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
827 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
828 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
829 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
830 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
831 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
832 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
833 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
834 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
835 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
836 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
838 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
840 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
841 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
842 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
843 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
844 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
845 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
846 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
847 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
848 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
849 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
850 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
851 interesting than a duplication of the default.
853 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
854 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
855 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
856 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
857 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
859 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
862 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
864 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
865 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
866 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
867 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
870 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
872 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
874 * Applied, after some finessing,
875 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
877 Here's a patch that allows you to add
879 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
881 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
882 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
883 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
884 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
886 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
888 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
889 forgetting to do so!).
891 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
892 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
893 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
894 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
895 arguments to enable all three types.
897 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
898 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
900 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
901 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
902 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
903 updated copy of mts.conf.
905 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
907 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
908 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
909 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
911 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
913 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
915 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
916 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
917 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
919 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
920 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
921 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
923 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
924 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
925 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
927 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
929 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
931 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
933 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
935 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
936 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
938 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
939 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
940 certain suffix to run properly.
942 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
943 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
944 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
946 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
947 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
948 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
949 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
950 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
951 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
952 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
954 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
956 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
957 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
958 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
959 until some year far in the future).
961 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
963 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
965 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
966 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
968 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
969 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
972 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
974 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
975 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
976 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
977 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
978 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
979 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
981 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
983 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
985 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
986 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
987 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
989 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
990 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
991 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
992 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
993 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
994 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
997 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
998 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
999 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1000 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1001 of masquerading individually.
1003 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1004 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1005 GECOS field delimiters.
1007 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1009 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1010 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1011 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1012 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1013 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1014 and explaining the feature.
1016 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1018 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1019 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1022 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1023 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1024 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1026 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1027 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1028 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1029 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1031 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1032 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1033 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1036 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1038 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1039 code to be executed.
1041 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1043 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1045 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1046 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1047 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1048 quotes embedded in them.
1050 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1052 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1053 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1054 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1055 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1056 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1057 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1058 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1061 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1062 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1063 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1064 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1065 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1067 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1069 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1071 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1072 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1073 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1074 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1076 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1079 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1081 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1083 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1085 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1086 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1087 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1089 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1092 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1094 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1095 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1096 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1097 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1098 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1099 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1101 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1102 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1104 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1106 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1109 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1111 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1112 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1113 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1116 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1117 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1118 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1119 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1120 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1121 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1122 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1123 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1124 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1125 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1126 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1127 processing that post has).
1129 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1131 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1132 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1133 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1134 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1135 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1136 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1139 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1141 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1143 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1145 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1147 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1148 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1150 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1153 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1155 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1156 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1157 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1160 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1162 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1163 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1164 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1165 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1166 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1167 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1169 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1171 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1173 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1175 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1176 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1177 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1178 caught again. This works for now.
1180 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1182 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1184 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1185 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1187 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1189 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1190 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1192 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1194 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1196 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1198 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1199 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1201 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1203 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1204 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1205 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1206 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1207 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1210 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1212 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1213 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1214 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1216 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1217 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1220 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1222 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1223 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1224 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1226 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1228 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1229 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1231 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1233 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1236 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1237 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1239 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1240 macros, regardless of platform.
1242 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1243 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1245 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1246 with x-conversions=gzip.
1248 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1250 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1253 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1254 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1255 implicit definition of ioctl().
1257 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1258 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1259 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1260 want to mess with them.
1262 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1264 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1265 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1267 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1268 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1270 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1271 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1272 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1274 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1275 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1276 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1278 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1279 function initgroups.
1281 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1284 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1285 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1288 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1289 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1292 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1293 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1297 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1299 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1300 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1301 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1303 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1304 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1306 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1308 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1310 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1311 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1312 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1313 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1315 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1316 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1318 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1320 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1322 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1324 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1325 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1327 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1329 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1330 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1332 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1333 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1334 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1335 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1337 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1338 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1340 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1342 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1343 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1345 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1347 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1348 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1351 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1353 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1355 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1357 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1358 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1360 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1361 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1362 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1364 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1365 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1366 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1368 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1369 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1370 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1372 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1373 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1376 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1377 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1379 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1380 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1382 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1383 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1385 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1386 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1387 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1389 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1390 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1392 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1393 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1394 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1396 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1397 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1400 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1401 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1403 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1404 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1405 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1406 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1408 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1409 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1411 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1415 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1416 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1417 would not be changed.
1419 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1420 one from the Apache web server.
1422 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1423 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1425 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1426 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1427 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1429 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1431 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1433 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1434 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1437 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1438 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1439 removes a bad race condition.
1441 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1444 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1445 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1446 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1448 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1449 sequence information.
1451 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1452 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1454 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1457 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1460 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1462 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1463 interpret 034 as octal.
1465 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1467 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1468 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1470 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1471 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1473 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1474 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1476 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1477 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1479 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1480 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1482 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1483 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1484 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1486 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1487 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1488 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1490 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1492 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1494 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1495 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1498 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1500 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1501 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1503 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1504 header field information.
1506 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1507 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1509 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1510 values when parsing a content.
1512 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1513 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1515 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1516 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1518 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1519 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1521 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1522 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1524 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1526 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1528 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1530 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1532 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1533 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1536 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1537 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1539 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1540 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1541 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1542 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1543 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1544 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1547 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1549 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1550 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1551 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1553 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1554 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1556 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1558 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1559 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1560 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1561 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1563 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1564 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1567 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1568 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1569 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1570 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1573 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1575 * Released nmh-0.27.
1577 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1578 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1580 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1581 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1582 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1583 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1586 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1587 mhbuild returns an error.
1589 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1590 rename the draft file.
1592 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1593 use a global variable.
1595 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1596 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1598 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1599 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1601 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1602 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1603 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1605 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1606 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1608 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1609 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1612 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1613 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1616 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1617 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1619 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1620 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1621 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1623 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1624 to new function output_content_folder.
1626 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1627 new function output_content_file.
1629 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1630 to new function parse_format_string.
1632 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1633 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1634 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1635 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1637 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1638 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1639 message/external file from ftp.
1641 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1642 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1643 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1645 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1646 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1649 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1652 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1653 new file mhstoresbr.c
1655 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1658 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1659 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1661 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1662 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1664 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1665 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1666 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1668 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1670 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1672 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1673 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1676 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1677 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1679 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1682 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1684 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1686 * Released nmh-0.26.
1688 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1689 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1690 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1691 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1693 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1694 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1695 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1696 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1697 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1699 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1700 But it is not on by default.
1702 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1703 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1705 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1707 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1709 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1711 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1713 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1714 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1716 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1718 * Released nmh-0.25.
1720 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1721 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1722 uses the original name of the library.
1724 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1725 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1728 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1729 list_content and list_debug.
1731 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1733 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1734 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1736 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1738 * Released nmh-0.24.
1740 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1742 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1743 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1745 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1746 large sequence line.
1748 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1750 * Released nmh-0.23.
1752 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1754 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1755 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1756 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1757 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1759 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1760 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1763 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1765 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1767 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1769 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1770 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1772 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1773 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1775 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1776 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1778 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1779 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1781 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1783 * Released nmh-0.22.
1785 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1786 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1788 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1790 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1791 mh-profile(5) man page.
1793 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1794 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1796 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1798 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1800 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1801 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1803 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1805 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1806 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1807 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1809 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1810 source message on the standard input.
1812 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1814 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1815 rather than -rfc934mode.
1817 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1818 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1821 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1822 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1824 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1827 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1829 * Released nmh-0.21.
1831 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1832 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1834 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1837 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1838 to use for text contents.
1840 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1842 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1844 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1846 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1848 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1849 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1851 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1852 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1853 spaces between encoded word are.
1855 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1857 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1858 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1860 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1861 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1862 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1864 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1866 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1867 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1869 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1871 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1873 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1874 ISO-8859-X character set.
1876 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1879 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1880 permissions, not write permissions.
1882 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1883 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1885 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1888 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1890 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1892 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1893 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1895 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1896 message contains valid character set.
1898 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1899 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1901 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1902 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1904 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1905 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1906 between an encoded word and normal text.
1908 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1909 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1911 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1912 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1914 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1917 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1918 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1921 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1922 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1924 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1925 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1927 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1929 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1931 * Released nmh-0.20.
1933 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1935 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1937 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1938 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1939 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1941 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1942 and the To: line was missing.
1944 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1946 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1948 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1950 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1951 watch the POP transaction.
1953 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1954 first, and use it if available.
1956 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1957 first, and use it if available.
1959 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1961 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1963 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1964 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1965 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1968 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1969 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1970 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1972 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1973 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1976 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1978 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1979 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1981 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1983 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1984 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1986 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1987 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1988 message to which you are replying.
1990 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1991 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1992 making group replies.
1994 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1996 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1998 * Released nmh-0.19.
2000 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2001 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2003 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2004 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2005 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2006 to the end of the man page.
2008 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2009 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2010 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2011 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2012 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2013 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2015 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2018 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2019 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2020 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2022 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2023 the next available number above the message number you wish
2026 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2027 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2029 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2030 file sbr/seq_print.c
2032 * flist will now update the current folder.
2034 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2035 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2036 but now undocumented.
2038 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2041 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2042 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2044 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2046 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2047 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2049 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2051 * Released nmh-0.18.
2053 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2054 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2055 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2057 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2058 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2060 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2061 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2062 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2063 previous public/private status.
2065 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2068 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2071 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2072 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2073 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2075 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2076 take option to determine whether it should get current
2077 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2078 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2080 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2082 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2083 wait for stopped processes.
2085 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2086 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2088 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2090 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2092 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2093 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2095 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2096 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2098 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2099 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2100 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2101 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2103 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2106 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2109 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2111 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2112 the debugging output.
2114 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2115 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2117 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2119 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2121 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2122 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2124 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2126 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2127 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2128 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2129 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2130 in the given sequence.
2132 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2133 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2134 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2135 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2136 subdirectories of a given directory.
2138 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2139 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2140 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2142 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2143 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2145 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2147 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2150 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2151 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2152 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2154 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2155 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2156 are calculated at runtime.
2158 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2160 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2162 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2163 about checking for global mh.profile.
2165 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2166 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2167 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2168 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2169 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2170 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2172 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2173 adding message to folder itself.
2175 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2176 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2177 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2180 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2181 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2184 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2185 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2186 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2188 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2189 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2191 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2192 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2193 code to use it yet).
2195 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2197 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2199 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2200 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2202 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2203 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2205 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2207 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2210 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2212 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2214 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2216 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2218 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2219 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2221 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2223 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2225 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2227 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2229 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2231 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2232 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2234 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2235 configuration files.
2237 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2239 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2241 * Released nmh-0.17.
2243 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2245 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2246 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2248 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2251 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2252 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2254 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2255 number of refiled message.
2257 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2259 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2260 for return value of wait().
2262 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2264 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2266 * Released nmh-0.16.
2268 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2270 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2272 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2273 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2274 deal with binary messages, yet).
2276 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2278 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2280 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2281 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2282 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2283 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2284 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2285 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2287 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2288 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).

2294 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2297 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2299 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".

2302 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2305 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2308 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2310 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2311 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2312 which used unsigned chars by default.

2329 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2330 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2332 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2333 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2335 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2337 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2338 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2340 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2341 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2342 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2343 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2345 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2346 and put in own subroutine.
2348 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2349 and put in own subroutine.
2351 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2352 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and

2384 selected messages to a sequence.
2386 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2389 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2391 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2392 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c

2433 * Released nmh-0.13.
2435 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2436 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2437 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2438 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2441 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2442 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2444 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2446 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2447 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2449 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2451 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2480 will suppress the display of the message header.
2482 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2484 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2485 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.

2494 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2496 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2497 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2499 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2501 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2503 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2504 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2506 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2507 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2509 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2511 * Released nmh-0.10.

2521 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2523 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2524 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2526 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

2531 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2532 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2534 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2536 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2566 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2567 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2569 * Released nmh-0.08.
2571 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2572 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2573 locking database itself.

2577 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2579 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2580 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2583 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2584 rather than mmdf format.
2586 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2587 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2588 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2589 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2591 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2593 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2595 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2598 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2599 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2600 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2602 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2603 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2604 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2606 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2608 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2609 can still easily change this in config.h).
2611 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2612 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2613 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2615 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2617 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

2631 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2632 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2634 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2635 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2638 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2639 built-in FTP client in mhn.

2652 * Released nmh-0.06.
2654 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2655 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2657 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2658 many such machines around anymore.
2660 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2661 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2663 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2664 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2666 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2668 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2669 pre-generated version if necessary.
2671 * Released nmh-0.05.
2673 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2674 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2675 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2676 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2678 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2679 be linked in one pass.
2681 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2683 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2684 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2686 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2688 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2690 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2692 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2693 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2694 become the current folder.
2696 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2698 * Released nmh-0.04.

2703 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2705 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2706 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2707 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2709 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2711 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2712 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2714 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2716 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2717 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2720 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2721 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2723 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2725 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2726 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2727 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2728 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2729 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2730 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2732 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2734 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2735 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2737 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2738 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2740 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2742 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2743 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2745 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2747 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2748 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2749 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2751 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2753 * Released nmh-0.03.
2755 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2756 .mh_sequence file existed.
2758 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2759 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2761 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2762 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2765 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2767 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2770 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2772 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2773 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2774 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2776 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2778 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2779 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2780 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2782 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2784 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2785 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2787 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2789 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2791 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2792 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2793 directory from where the source code is located.
2795 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2797 * Released nmh-0.02.

2811 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2813 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2815 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2817 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2818 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2819 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2820 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2821 rather than in script.
2823 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2825 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2827 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2828 macro defined on Solaris.

2832 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2833 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2835 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2836 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2837 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2838 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2841 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2843 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2844 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2846 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2849 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2851 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2853 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2854 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2856 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2858 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2859 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2861 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2863 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2864 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2865 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2866 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2867 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2868 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2870 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2872 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2874 * Released nmh-0.01.
