+ * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
+ Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
+ nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
+ back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
+ can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
+ "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
+
+ I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
+ ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
+ mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
+ to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
+ ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
+ versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
+ <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
+ are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
+
+ I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
+ based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
+ and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
+ loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
+ HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
+ tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
+ doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
+ some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
+ MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
+ and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.

+
+ * 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.
