+ * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
+ fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
+
+ Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
+ while attempting to process some MIME messages:
+
+ (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
+ exit 2
+
+ and:
+
+ (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
+
+ (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
+ mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
+ mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
+ mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
+
+ Resolving the pointer reference issue in
+ mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
+ problem in the routine.

- * applied Todd Miller's <Todd.Miller@courtesan.com> patch to

- Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump

- I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail

* Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
- the -help output. I guess the idea was to make reference to the
- fact that clearly you know about the -help option since you're
- currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea to
- overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
+ the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
+ to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
+ you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
+ to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
- allowed to specify. It doesn't make sense to show that you're
- allowed to "abbreviate" the switch to its entire length.
+ allowed to specify.
+
+ The other theory is that because you can say something like
+ "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
+ by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
+ you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
+ "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.

also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
- Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
- KPOP server.

* Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
