+       * applied Todd Miller's <Todd.Miller@courtesan.com> patch to
+       dropsbr.c to prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note
+       from his message:
+
+         Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
+         core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
+         I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
+         spool somehow.

+
+       * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
+       so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote.  Unfortunately
+       he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch.  I wrote that
+       if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
+       exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
+       new -kpop switch on a given invocation.  Instead, however, -kpop
+       turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
+       complained.  Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
+       like I thought his original patch did.  After that, did one more
+       clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.

+
+       * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
+       the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
+       modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
+       leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
+       internal constants were ever changed to hex.  Unfortunately I was
+       unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
+       mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
+       leading zero required.  I've changed the strtoul() call to an
+       atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
+       ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages.  Also changed the
+       "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
+       interesting than a duplication of the default.
+
+       * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
+       didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade.  I find the --enable-nmh-*
+       options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
+       I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
+       still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
+
+       * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
+       POP is enabled.
+
+       * Added a new README.developers file.  From the file:
+
+           This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
+           development on nmh.  Developers who learn things "the hard
+           way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
+           encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
+           here.
+
+       Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".

+       I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
+       FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES.  There's some commentary in
+       acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
+
+       * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
+       lexed on Solaris 2.6.  Added missing dependency in
+       zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.

-       * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH.  It passed an
-       octal constant to atoi(), which interpreted it as decimal,
-       resulting in directories with no user read or execute permissions,
-       making nested directory creation fail.  Also, when creating a
-       nested directory, correct permissions were only set on the inner one.

+       constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in

        * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
        whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
