3 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
5 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
7 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
8 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
10 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
11 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
12 certain suffix to run properly.
14 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
15 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
16 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
18 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
19 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
20 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
21 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
22 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
23 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
24 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
26 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
28 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
29 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
30 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
31 until some year far in the future).
33 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
35 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
37 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
38 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
40 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
41 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
44 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
46 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
47 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
48 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
49 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
50 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
51 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
53 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
55 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
57 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
58 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
59 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
61 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
62 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
63 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
64 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
65 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
66 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
69 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
70 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
71 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
72 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
73 of masquerading individually.
75 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
76 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
77 GECOS field delimiters.
79 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
81 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
82 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
83 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
84 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
85 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
86 and explaining the feature.
88 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
90 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
91 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
94 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
95 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
96 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
98 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
99 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
100 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
101 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
103 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
104 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
105 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
108 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
110 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
113 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
115 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
117 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
118 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
119 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
120 quotes embedded in them.
122 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
124 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
125 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
126 the -help output. I guess the idea was to make reference to the
127 fact that clearly you know about the -help option since you're
128 currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea to
129 overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
130 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
131 allowed to specify. It doesn't make sense to show that you're
132 allowed to "abbreviate" the switch to its entire length.
134 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
136 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
138 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
139 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
140 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
141 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
143 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
146 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
148 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
150 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
152 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
153 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
154 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
156 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
159 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
161 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. It passed an
162 octal constant to atoi(), which interpreted it as decimal,
163 resulting in directories with no user read or execute permissions,
164 making nested directory creation fail. Also, when creating a
165 nested directory, correct permissions were only set on the inner one.
167 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
168 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
170 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
172 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
175 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
177 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
178 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
179 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
182 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
183 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
184 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
185 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
186 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
187 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
188 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
189 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
190 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
191 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
192 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
193 processing that post has).
195 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
197 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
198 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
199 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
200 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
201 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
202 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
205 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
207 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
209 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
211 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
213 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
214 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
216 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
219 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
221 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
222 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
223 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
226 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
228 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
229 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
230 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
231 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
232 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
233 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
235 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
237 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
239 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
241 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
242 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
243 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
244 caught again. This works for now.
246 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
248 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
250 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
251 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
253 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
255 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
256 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
258 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
260 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
262 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
264 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
265 changes. Both need more cleanup.
267 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
269 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
270 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
271 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
272 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
273 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
276 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
278 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
279 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
280 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
282 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
283 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
286 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
288 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
289 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
290 to a directory on another device with more free space.
292 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
294 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
295 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
297 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
299 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
302 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
303 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
305 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
306 macros, regardless of platform.
308 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
309 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
311 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
312 with x-conversions=gzip.
314 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
316 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
319 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
320 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
321 implicit definition of ioctl().
323 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
324 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
325 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
326 want to mess with them.
328 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
330 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
331 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
333 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
334 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
336 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
337 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
338 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
340 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
341 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
342 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
344 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
347 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
350 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
351 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
354 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
355 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
358 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
359 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
363 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
365 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
366 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
367 preventing compilation on at least linux.
369 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
370 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
372 Thu Sep 9 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
374 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
376 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
377 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
378 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
379 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
381 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
382 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
384 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
386 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
388 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
390 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
391 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
393 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
395 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
396 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
398 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
399 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
400 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
401 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
403 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
404 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
406 Sat Jun 9 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
408 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
409 substitute it for mktemp if available.
411 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
413 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
414 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
417 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
419 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
421 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
423 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
424 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
426 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
427 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
428 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
430 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
431 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
432 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
434 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
435 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
436 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
438 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
439 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
442 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
443 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
445 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
446 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
448 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
451 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
452 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
453 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
455 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
456 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
458 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
459 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
460 <elleron@servtech.com>.
462 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
463 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
466 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
467 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
469 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
470 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
471 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
472 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
474 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
475 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
477 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
481 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
482 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
483 would not be changed.
485 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
486 one from the Apache web server.
488 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
489 (this should have been done a long time ago).
491 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
492 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
493 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
495 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
497 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
499 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
500 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
503 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
504 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
505 removes a bad race condition.
507 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
510 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
511 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
512 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
514 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
515 sequence information.
517 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
518 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
520 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
523 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
526 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
528 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
529 interpret 034 as octal.
531 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
533 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
534 mhstore, and mhbuild.
536 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
537 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
539 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
540 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
542 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
543 in the c_cefile structure when building.
545 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
546 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
548 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
549 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
550 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
552 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
553 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
554 and mhshow. Updated man pages
556 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
558 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
560 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
561 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
564 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
566 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
567 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
569 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
570 header field information.
572 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
573 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
575 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
576 values when parsing a content.
578 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
579 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
581 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
582 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
584 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
585 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
587 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
588 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
590 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
592 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
594 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
596 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
598 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
599 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
602 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
603 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
605 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
606 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
607 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
608 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
609 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
610 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
613 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
615 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
616 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
617 buffer length checks for this parameter.
619 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
620 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
622 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
624 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
625 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
626 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
627 of the limits on the length of command lines.
629 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
630 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
633 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
634 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
635 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
636 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
639 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
643 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
644 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
646 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
647 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
648 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
649 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
652 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
653 mhbuild returns an error.
655 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
656 rename the draft file.
658 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
659 use a global variable.
661 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
662 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
664 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
665 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
667 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
668 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
669 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
671 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
672 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
674 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
675 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
678 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
679 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
682 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
683 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
685 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
686 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
687 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
689 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
690 to new function output_content_folder.
692 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
693 new function output_content_file.
695 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
696 to new function parse_format_string.
698 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
699 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
700 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
701 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
703 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
704 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
705 message/external file from ftp.
707 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
708 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
709 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
711 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
712 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
715 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
718 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
719 new file mhstoresbr.c
721 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
724 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
725 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
727 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
728 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
730 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
731 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
732 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
734 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
736 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
738 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
739 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
742 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
743 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
745 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
748 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
750 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
754 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
755 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
756 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
757 is still the same (dashstuffing).
759 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
760 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
761 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
762 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
763 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
765 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
766 But it is not on by default.
768 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
769 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
771 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
773 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
775 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
777 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
779 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
780 number of the "cur" message when packing.
782 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
786 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
787 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
788 uses the original name of the library.
790 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
791 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
794 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
795 list_content and list_debug.
797 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
799 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
800 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
802 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
806 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
808 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
809 are given, that order doesn't matter.
811 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
814 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
818 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
820 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
821 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
822 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
823 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
825 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
826 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
829 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
831 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
833 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
835 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
836 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
838 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
839 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
841 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
842 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
844 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
845 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
847 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
851 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
852 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
854 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
856 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
857 mh-profile(5) man page.
859 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
860 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
862 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
864 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
866 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
867 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
869 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
871 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
872 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
873 entry point for parsing MIME files.
875 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
876 source message on the standard input.
878 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
880 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
881 rather than -rfc934mode.
883 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
884 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
887 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
888 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
890 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
893 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
897 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
898 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
900 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
903 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
904 to use for text contents.
906 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
908 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
910 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
912 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
914 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
915 header fields as per RFC-2047.
917 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
918 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
919 spaces between encoded word are.
921 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
923 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
924 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
926 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
927 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
928 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
930 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
932 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
933 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
935 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
937 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
939 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
940 ISO-8859-X character set.
942 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
945 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
946 permissions, not write permissions.
948 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
949 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
951 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
954 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
956 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
958 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
959 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
961 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
962 message contains valid character set.
964 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
965 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
967 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
968 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
970 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
971 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
972 between an encoded word and normal text.
974 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
975 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
977 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
978 as a RFC-2047 header field.
980 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
983 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
984 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
987 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
988 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
990 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
991 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
993 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
995 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
999 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1001 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1003 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1004 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1005 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1007 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1008 and the To: line was missing.
1010 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1012 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1014 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1016 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1017 watch the POP transaction.
1019 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1020 first, and use it if available.
1022 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1023 first, and use it if available.
1025 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1027 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1029 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1030 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1031 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1034 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1035 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1036 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1038 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1039 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1042 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1044 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1045 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1047 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1049 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1050 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1052 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1053 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1054 message to which you are replying.
1056 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1057 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1058 making group replies.
1060 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1062 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1064 * Released nmh-0.19.
1066 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1067 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1069 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1070 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1071 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1072 to the end of the man page.
1074 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1075 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1076 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1077 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1078 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1079 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1081 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1084 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1085 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1086 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1088 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1089 the next available number above the message number you wish
1092 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1093 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1095 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1096 file sbr/seq_print.c
1098 * flist will now update the current folder.
1100 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1101 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1102 but now undocumented.
1104 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1107 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1108 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1110 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1112 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1113 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1115 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1117 * Released nmh-0.18.
1119 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1120 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1121 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1123 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1124 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1126 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1127 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1128 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1129 previous public/private status.
1131 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1134 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1137 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1138 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1139 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1141 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1142 take option to determine whether it should get current
1143 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1144 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1146 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1148 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1149 wait for stopped processes.
1151 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1152 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1154 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1156 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1158 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1159 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1161 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1162 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1164 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1165 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1166 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1167 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1169 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1172 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1175 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1177 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1178 the debugging output.
1180 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1181 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1183 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1185 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1187 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1188 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1190 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1192 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1193 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1194 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1195 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1196 in the given sequence.
1198 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1199 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1200 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
1201 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
1202 subdirectories of a given directory.
1204 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
1205 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
1206 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
1208 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
1209 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
1211 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
1213 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
1216 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
1217 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
1218 fields are now calculated at runtime.
1220 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
1221 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
1222 are calculated at runtime.
1224 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1226 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
1228 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
1229 about checking for global mh.profile.
1231 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
1232 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
1233 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
1234 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
1235 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
1236 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
1238 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
1239 adding message to folder itself.
1241 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
1242 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
1243 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
1246 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
1247 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
1250 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
1251 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
1252 is the same as the direct smtp code).
1254 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
1255 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
1257 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
1258 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much

1309 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
1311 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
1312 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
1314 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
1317 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
1318 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
1320 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
1321 number of refiled message.
1323 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
1325 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
1326 for return value of wait().

1336 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
1338 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
1339 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
1340 deal with binary messages, yet).
1342 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
1344 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
1346 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
1347 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
1348 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
1349 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
1350 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
1351 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
1353 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
1354 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).

1368 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
1371 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
1374 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
1376 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to

1389 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
1391 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
1394 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
1395 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
1396 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
1398 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
1399 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
1401 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
1403 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
1404 they conflict with defines on AIX.
1406 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
1407 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
1408 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
1409 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
1411 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
1412 and put in own subroutine.
1414 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
1415 and put in own subroutine.

1418 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
1419 refile.c to use new routine.
1421 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1423 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
1425 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
1428 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
1429 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
1430 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
1432 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
1435 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before

1450 selected messages to a sequence.
1452 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
1455 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1457 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
1458 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
1460 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1462 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

1499 * Released nmh-0.13.
1501 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
1502 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
1503 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
1504 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
1507 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
1508 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
1510 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1512 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
1513 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
1515 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1517 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

1539 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
1542 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
1543 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
1545 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
1546 will suppress the display of the message header.
1548 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
1550 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
1551 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
1553 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
1555 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
1557 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
1559 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
1560 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
1562 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
1563 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
1565 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
1567 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
1569 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
1570 folder/message structure when done with folder.
1572 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
1573 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
1575 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1577 * Released nmh-0.10.

1587 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
1589 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
1590 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
1592 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
1593 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
1595 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1597 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
1598 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
1600 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1602 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

1630 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1632 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
1633 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
1635 * Released nmh-0.08.
1637 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
1638 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
1639 locking database itself.

1643 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
1645 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
1646 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
1649 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
1650 rather than mmdf format.
1652 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
1653 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
1654 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
1655 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
1657 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
1659 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1661 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
1664 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
1665 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
1666 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
1668 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
1669 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to

1672 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1674 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
1675 can still easily change this in config.h).
1677 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
1678 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
1679 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
1681 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1683 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

1697 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
1698 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
1700 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
1701 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
1704 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
1705 built-in FTP client in mhn.

1708 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
1710 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
1712 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
1714 * Added configure check for tzset.

1718 * Released nmh-0.06.
1720 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
1721 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
1723 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
1724 many such machines around anymore.
1726 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
1727 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
1729 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
1730 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
1732 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1734 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
1735 pre-generated version if necessary.
1737 * Released nmh-0.05.
1739 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
1740 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
1741 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
1742 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
1744 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
1745 be linked in one pass.
1747 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1749 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
1750 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
1752 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1754 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
1756 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1758 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
1759 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
1760 become the current folder.
1762 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1764 * Released nmh-0.04.
1766 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
1769 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1771 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
1772 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
1773 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
1775 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1777 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
1778 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
1780 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1782 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
1783 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
1786 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
1787 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
1789 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1791 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
1792 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
1793 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
1794 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
1795 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
1796 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
1798 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1800 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
1801 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
1803 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
1804 a file (currently need to specify full path).
1806 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1808 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
1809 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
1811 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1813 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
1814 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
1815 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
1817 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1819 * Released nmh-0.03.
1821 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
1822 .mh_sequence file existed.
1824 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
1825 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
1827 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
1828 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
1831 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1833 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
1836 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1838 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
1839 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
1840 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
1842 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1844 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
1845 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
1846 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
1848 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1850 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
1851 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
1853 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
1855 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1857 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
1858 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
1859 directory from where the source code is located.
1861 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

1930 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
1931 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
1932 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
1933 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
1934 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.

1962 script to find_program.

1970 yet, but it compiles :-)
1972 * Changed default location for install to
1973 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
1974 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
