   1 2/16/81 progs Dave Yost:
   2         Fixed folder so that it checks value from m_gmsg and complains
   3         if the folder is unreadable.  All other commands that call it
   4         do this, so it was simply an error of omission.
   5
   6 2/16/81 subs Dave Yost:
   7         m_gmsg.c was testing return value of malloc against -1.
   8         Tsk.
   9
  10 2/16/81 subs Phyllis Kantar
  11         trimcpy.c was scanning profile fields from the left and
  12         truncating ('\0') at the first newline.  It now zaps
  13         the trailing newline and replaces embedded NL's with blanks.
  14
  15 2/23/81 progs phyl:
  16         Fixed annotation so that it annotates only "To:" and "cc:"
  17             In forw.c  doano():
  18                     Changed
  19                             if(uleq(name, "to") || uleq(name, "cc") == 0) {
  20                     to:
  21                             if(uleq(name, "to") || uleq(name, "cc") ) {
  22
  23         Similarly for dist.c
  24         Changed /etc/mh/distcomps to read "Distribute*"
  25                 instead of "Distribution*"
  26
  27         Also, fixed bug in annotate.c:
  28                 fprintf(tmp, "%s: %*s", comp, cp-sp, sp);
  29                         should be
  30                 fprintf(tmp, "%s: %*.*s", comp, cp-sp, cp-sp, sp);
  31
  32         Note: none of these fixes affects repl
  33
  34
  35
  36 3/23/81 progs jdg/day:  changed deliver.c to check for effective uid and gid
  37         while it is preventing forgery of mail.  Needed for uucp, when
  38         uucico is invoked by a real person instead of uucp itself.
  39
  40 4/7/81  progs Dave-Yost
  41         Fixed scansub.c to check for HOSTNAME instead of "rand-unix".
  42         A little portability, please.
  43
  44 4/13/81 progs  Dave-Yost
  45         Changed deliver to put out a date format like
  46           Monday, 13 Apr 1981 20:46-PST
  47         instead of
  48           13 Apr 1981 at 2046-PST
  49
  50 4/13/81 subs Dave Yost
  51         modified m_edit.c to exec the editor with altmsg as an extra
  52         argument, in case the editor can use it as an alt file.
  53
  54 5/7/81  progs Dave-Yost
  55         Changed conflict.c and conflict.8 to ignore /usr/spool/mail
  56         files starting with '.'.
  57
  58 5/7/81  progs Dave-Yost
  59         conflict isn't smart about the fact that there can be
  60         more than one login name on the same uid.  This should
  61         be fixed.
  62
  63 5/29/81 progs Phyl
  64         Changed /usr/news/.mh_receive to grep for
  65
  66                 '^[Tt][Oo]:.*news\.'
  67
  68         instead of
  69
  70                 '[Tt][Oo]:'
  71
  72         However, 'news' will still break when there are multiple news folders
  73         in the 'To:' field(s)!
  74
  75 7/2/81  progs Phyl:
  76         Changed inc.c and scansub.c so that mail is not lost when
  77                 the message number exceeds 999.
  78
  79 7/2/81  progs day:
  80         mh.h has #define MAXFOLDER 999 and hopefully all occurrences
  81         of that magic number have been changed to MAXFOLDER.
  82
  83 7/2/81  progs day:
  84         Fixed pick and file so they won't go beyond 999 (MAXFOLDER)
  85         into a folder.  file.c and pick.c had virtually identical
  86         copies of the same routine to file a message.  Took it out and
  87         put it into subs as m_file(), and changed it to have
  88         several arguments so there are no connections via globals.
  89         Also created ../folder.h which is included by pick.c, file.c,
  90         and ../subs/m_file.c.
  91
  92 7/2/81  progs day:
  93         Changed the message-name parser (../subs/m_convert.c) to
  94         limit message number arguments to 999 (MAXFOLDER).  Thus if you
  95         say 'scan 800-10000', this will be interpreted as 'scan 800-999'
  96
  97 7/2/81  progs day:
  98         Some very minor changes to satisfy lint.
  99
 100 7/6/81  progs day:
 101         Did a make install of all the stuff changed in the last
 102         few days.
 103
 104 7/9/81  progs phyl:
 105         fixed inc so that "inc -nochangecur" doesn't display a spurious '+'
 106         on the 1st incorporated msg.
 107
 108 7/24/81 progs  phyl:
 109
 110         Fixed rmail to match graphics.  On the Vax, it failed to construct
 111         a From: field when the next hop is Arpanet if there was a remote
 112         uucp hop remaining.
 113
 114 8/10/81 progs phyl:
 115
 116         Fixed rmail to block uucp-to-arpanet mail when the originating
 117         host is not a Rand sysname.  It also returns mail to the sender
 118         when this condition occurs.
 119
 120         rmail now recognizes "at" as well as "@".
 121
 122         rmail no longer compares headers against a list of legal headers;
 123         rather it tests for proper form "<63-chars-or-less>:"
 124
 125         m_getfld.c now tests for ':' BEFORE it tests for header length
 126         exceeded.
 127
 128 8/10/81 progs strings day:
 129
 130         remove hostname.c from mh/strings.a.  It was used only by
 131         deliver.c for constructing a msgid;  now it uses
 132         HOSTNAME (from <whoami.h>)
 133
 134 8/10/81 Dave Yost
 135         Put rhosts[] decl in mh.h and added rhosts.c to strings.a
 136         rmail is only thing that references it just now.
 137
 138 8/11/81 Dave Yost
 139         Added rand proprietary notice to all .c, .h, and Makefiles.
 140         Ownership and date on all files left unchanged.
 141
 142 8/11/81 Dave Yost
 143         Combined */Log into this file
 144
 145 8/13/81 Phyl
 146         Added uucp addresses to deliver's debug printout.
 147         (Didn't install).
 148
 149 8/18/81 Phyl
 150         Fixed adrparse so that it accepts multiple "at"s in an address:
 151         a!b!c at d at e at f  ==> (a!b!c at d at e) at f
 152
 153         Changed deliver to set a new process group when it is called
 154         with the -deliver switch--so that if it sends an interrupt to pid
 155         0, it's parent (e.g., srvrftp) won't get blown away.
 156         Note that deliver now must be loaded with the jobs library (-ljobs),
 157         to access setpgrp().  I added "#define VMUNIX" to mh.h,
 158         and #ifdef'd the call to setpgrp.
 159
 160         Fixed deliver to allow 120 secs (instead of only 30)
 161         for a user's .mh_receive to complete.
 162
 163 8/26/81 Mike
 164         Fixed "folder" so you can now have up to 300 folders.
 165
 166 9/24/81 phyl
 167         fixed scansub.c to incorporate illegal messages correctly:
 168                 Bug: If the bad message has the bobo in its last line,
 169                         then inc says [No mail incorporated]
 170                 FIX: if (state == BODYEOF || state == FILEEOF)
 171                                           -------------------
 172                 Bug: spurious chars printed in the body of the bad msg.
 173                 FIX:    a) \n after the bad component
 174                         b) if(scnout && state != FILEEOF)
 175                                      -------------------
 176
 177 10/1/81 phyl
 178         fixed mhl bug;  it no longer bombs on "mhl: -option " profile
 179         arguments:
 180                 procargs(ap);           /* Old */
 181                 procargs(profargs);     /* New */
 182
 183 10/13/81 obrien
 184         changed scansub to replace '\f' with blank
 185
 186 11/4/81 day
 187         Fixed pick to say '1 hit' instead of `1 hits'.
 188
 189 11/18/81  phyl
 190         Accidently did a "make" in /usr/src/cmd/mh on Nov 18.  Most
 191         programs reloaded because the new "#define VMUNIX" in mh.h caused
 192         strings.a to be remade.  Did not install any of it. err file moved
 193         to err.Nov18
 194
 195 1/6/82    phyl
 196         o Added scansub dependencies to Makefile
 197         o Added rmail.c and scansub.c to CFILES in Makefile
 198         o Alphabetized  dependency list in Makefile
 199         o ??Are all the Nov 18 binaries suspect?  The Aug 18 .o files?
 200         o I ask because--
 201            Nov 18 prompter had strange behavior (didn't respond to <DEL>,
 202            didn't display error messages) which disappeared when
 203            recompiled.
 204
 205 1/7/82  phyl
 206         o Added cs-rand to rhosts.c.
 207         o Re-make all of MH (save old .o files in DOT.o.01072;
 208                              save old executables in SAVE.01072)
 209
 210 1/20/82  phyl
 211         Fixed scansub.c to terminate a short message body with ">>"
 212         on the scan line.
 213
 214 1/25/82  phyl
 215         Changed deliver.c, repl.c, send.c to require all 5 characters
 216         for -debug switch.
 217
 218         (didn't "make")
 219
 220 2/19/82  phyl
 221         mh.h: added SELECT_EMPTY flag
 222
 223 2/22/82 day
 224         mh.h change char to extern char for strings in strings/strings.a
 225         progs: install my new inc, scan, and scansub with -time and -numdate
 226         progs: change show.c so it includes mhl.c and calls it if
 227         showproc is mhl, rather than execing it.
 228
 229 3/10/82  phyl
 230         Changed adrparse to return 0 in case of error, instead of exiting.
 231         Changed repl to test for adrparse's return value and do the
 232                 right thing.  It constructs a reply skeleton, omitting the
 233                 offending addresses from the header.  Instead, unparsable
 234                 addresses are listed in the skeleton body.  Note, repl
 235                 normally takes the sender:'s (or from:'s) host as the default
 236                 to append to hostless addressees.  In the new version,
 237                 if the sender (or from) field was unparsable, the default
 238                 host is "?????".
 239         Changed deliver to test for adrparse's 0 return value, and exit.
 240
 241 4/22/82  phyl
 242         Changed the functions msg_convert() and msg_conv() to convert()
 243         and conv(), respectively, to maintain 8-char uniqueness.
 244         Linked new source into /usr/dist/1.7
 245
 246 4/23/82 phyl
 247         scansub.c: renamed the structure tag 'zone' to 'tzone'
 248         for compatibility with lesser C compilers (?). (Anyway,
 249         it wouldn't load on the 11/45 under 2.8bsd without that change.)
 250         Delete unused reference to locv().
 251         Linked new source into /usr/dist/1.7
 252
 253 5/8/82 phyl, guyton
 254         scansub.c: no longer reads the full message when called
 255         by scan.
 256         Linked new source into /usr/dist/1.7
 257
 258 5/8/82 phyl
 259         rmail: now tacks on Arpa-style date to dateless uucp mail.
 260         Takes date from oldest uucp-From line.  Assumes uudate is
 261         in ctime() format.
 262
 263 5/10/82 phyl
 264         Fixed bug in deliver that caused mail addresses uuhost1!joe,
 265         uuhost2!joe to look like duplicates.  Fix: if uuaddress, compare
 266         host names instead of host numbers.
 267
 268 5/12/82
 269         Fixed news.
 270
 271             Until now it couldn't handle "cc: news.topic", or "To: news.topicA,
 272             news.topicB", or news topics that aren't explicitly in the message
 273             header, or ...).
 274
 275             Deliver: fixed it so that aliasing keeps a handle on the
 276             1st (local) alias.  Now deliver can pass this string to
 277             /usr/news/.mh_receive as an argument, rather than have .mh_receive
 278             grep through the message for the news topic.
 279             Deliver: changed aliasing so that, once it finds a match to an
 280             alias whose form is <string>*, it *continues* comparing addresses.
 281
 282         Deliver: changed it to fflush(stdout) after every printf() sans '\n'.
 283
 284 6/3/82 phyl
 285         All references to anoyes were changed from char *
 286         to extern struct swit.
 287
 288         mh.h: delete hostname, layout;  add mailproc; change mypath
 289         from extern char * to char *.
 290
 291         progs/Makefile:  move "chmod 777 MHTMP" down to installroot.
 292
 293         Deliver: a bug that caused the temp files in /usr/tmp/mh
 294         to hang around whenever there was a local delivery error
 295         was fixed.
 296
 297                 if(!debug && rmflg > 1)  ==>  if(!debug && rmflg > 0)
 298
 299         m_gmsg.c:  WAS FIXED TO USE FREAD INSTEAD OF READ on the mail
 300         dir
