3 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
4 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
5 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
6 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
8 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
9 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
10 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
11 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
13 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
14 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
15 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
16 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
18 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
19 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
20 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
22 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
24 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
26 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
28 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
29 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
30 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
31 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
33 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
35 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
36 be easily changed from "," to "#".
38 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
40 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
42 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
43 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
46 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
48 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
49 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
50 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
51 but not for the subsequent data stream.
53 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
55 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
56 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
57 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
58 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
59 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
61 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
63 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
64 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
66 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
67 cat, also define lorder as echo.
69 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
71 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
73 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
74 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
75 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
77 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
79 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
82 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
83 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
85 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
87 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
88 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
90 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
92 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
93 inc does not need to be setgid.
95 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
97 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
98 library, as found on Debian systems.
100 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
102 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
104 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
105 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
106 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
107 case-insensitivity flag.
109 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
111 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
112 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
114 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
116 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
117 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
118 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
119 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
120 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
121 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
122 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
123 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
124 getting moved aside).
126 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
127 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
129 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
131 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
132 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
133 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
134 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
135 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
136 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
137 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
138 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
139 the prototype, but never sets it.
141 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
142 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
143 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
144 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
145 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
146 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
148 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
149 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
150 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
151 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
152 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
154 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
156 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
157 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
160 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
161 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
162 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
163 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
164 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
165 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
166 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
168 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
170 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
172 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
173 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
174 this works on other systems.
176 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
178 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
179 checks for write failures.
181 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
183 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
185 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
188 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
190 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
192 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
194 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
195 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
198 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
200 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
201 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
202 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
203 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
205 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
207 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
208 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
211 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
212 as well as Makefiles.
214 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
216 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
217 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
218 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
219 should make maintainability easier.
221 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
222 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
223 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
224 whatever you know works.
226 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
228 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
229 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
230 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
232 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
233 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
234 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
235 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
237 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
238 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
239 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
241 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
242 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
243 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
244 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
245 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
247 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
248 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
249 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
250 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
251 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
252 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
253 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
254 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
255 from the BSD version.
257 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
258 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
259 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
261 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
264 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
267 This happens on solaris:
270 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
271 No manual entry for mts.conf.
275 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
277 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
278 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
280 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
282 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
283 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
284 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
285 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
286 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
287 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
288 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
289 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
290 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
291 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
292 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
294 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
295 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
296 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
297 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
298 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
299 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
302 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
303 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
304 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
305 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
306 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
308 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
309 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
311 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
313 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
314 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
315 to stdin, such as exmh.
317 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
318 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
319 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
322 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
324 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
325 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
326 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
327 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
328 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
329 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
330 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
332 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
334 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
335 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
337 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
339 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
340 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
342 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
344 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
347 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
348 along with any -host or -user option.
350 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
352 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
354 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
355 process was fresh in my mind.
357 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
359 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
360 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
362 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
364 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
366 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
369 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
370 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
371 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
372 part of the program's name.
374 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
375 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
378 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
380 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
381 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
382 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
383 single-character format would cause programs using this
384 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
385 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
386 when the format string was one character. This eventually
387 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
390 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
392 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
393 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
394 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
395 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
396 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
397 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
399 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
400 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
401 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
402 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
403 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
404 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
405 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
406 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
408 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
409 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
410 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
411 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
412 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
413 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
414 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
415 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
416 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
417 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
419 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
421 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
422 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
424 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
425 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
427 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
432 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
434 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
435 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
436 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
437 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
439 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
440 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
441 problem in the routine.
443 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
445 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
446 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
448 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
449 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
450 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
453 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
455 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
456 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
457 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
458 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
459 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
460 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
461 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
462 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
463 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
464 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
466 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
468 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
469 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
470 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
471 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
472 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
473 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
474 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
475 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
476 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
477 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
478 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
479 interesting than a duplication of the default.
481 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
482 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
483 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
484 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
485 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
487 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
490 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
492 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
493 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
494 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
495 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
498 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
500 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
502 * Applied, after some finessing,
503 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
505 Here's a patch that allows you to add
507 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
509 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
510 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
511 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
512 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
514 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
516 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
517 forgetting to do so!).
519 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
520 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
521 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
522 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
523 arguments to enable all three types.
525 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
526 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
528 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
529 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
530 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
531 updated copy of mts.conf.
533 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
535 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
536 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
537 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
539 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
541 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
543 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
544 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
545 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
547 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
548 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
549 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
551 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
552 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
553 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
555 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
557 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
559 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
561 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
563 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
564 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
566 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
567 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
568 certain suffix to run properly.
570 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
571 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
572 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
574 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
575 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
576 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
577 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
578 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
579 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
580 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
582 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
584 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
585 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
586 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
587 until some year far in the future).
589 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
591 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
593 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
594 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
596 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
597 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
600 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
602 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
603 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
604 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
605 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
606 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
607 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
609 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
611 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
613 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
614 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
615 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
617 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
618 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
619 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
620 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
621 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
622 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
625 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
626 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
627 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
628 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
629 of masquerading individually.
631 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
632 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
633 GECOS field delimiters.
635 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
637 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
638 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
639 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
640 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
641 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
642 and explaining the feature.
644 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
646 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
647 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
650 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
651 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
652 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
654 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
655 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
656 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
657 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
659 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
660 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
661 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
664 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
666 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
669 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
671 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
673 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
674 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
675 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
676 quotes embedded in them.
678 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
680 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
681 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
682 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
683 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
684 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
685 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
686 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
689 The other theory is that because you can say something like
690 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
691 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
692 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
693 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
695 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
697 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
699 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
700 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
701 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
702 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
704 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
707 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
709 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
711 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
713 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
714 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
715 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
717 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
720 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
722 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
723 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
724 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
725 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
726 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
727 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
729 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
730 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
732 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
734 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
737 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
739 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
740 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
741 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
744 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
745 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
746 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
747 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
748 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
749 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
750 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
751 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
752 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
753 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
754 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
755 processing that post has).
757 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
759 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
760 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
761 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
762 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
763 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
764 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
767 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
769 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
771 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
773 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
775 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
776 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
778 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
781 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
783 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
784 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
785 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
788 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
790 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
791 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
792 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
793 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
794 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
795 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
797 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
799 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
801 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
803 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
804 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
805 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
806 caught again. This works for now.
808 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
810 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
812 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
813 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
815 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
817 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
818 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
820 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
822 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
824 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
826 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
827 changes. Both need more cleanup.
829 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
831 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
832 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
833 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
834 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
835 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
838 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
840 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
841 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
842 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
844 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
845 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
848 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
850 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
851 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
852 to a directory on another device with more free space.
854 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
856 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
857 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
859 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
861 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
864 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
865 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
867 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
868 macros, regardless of platform.
870 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
871 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
873 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
874 with x-conversions=gzip.
876 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
878 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
881 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
882 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
883 implicit definition of ioctl().
885 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
886 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
887 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
888 want to mess with them.
890 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
892 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
893 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
895 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
896 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
898 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
899 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
900 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
902 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
903 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
904 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
906 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
909 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
912 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
913 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
916 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
917 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
920 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
921 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
925 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
927 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
928 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
929 preventing compilation on at least linux.
931 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
932 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
934 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
936 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
938 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
939 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
940 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
941 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
943 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
944 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
946 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
948 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
950 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
952 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
953 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
955 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
957 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
958 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
960 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
961 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
962 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
963 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
965 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
966 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
968 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
970 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
971 substitute it for mktemp if available.
973 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
975 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
976 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
979 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
981 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
983 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
985 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
986 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
988 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
989 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
990 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
992 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
993 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
994 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
996 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
997 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
998 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1000 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1001 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1004 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1005 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1007 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1008 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1010 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1011 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1013 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1014 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1015 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1017 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1018 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1020 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1021 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1022 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1024 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1025 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1028 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1029 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1031 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1032 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1033 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1034 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1036 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1037 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1039 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1043 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1044 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1045 would not be changed.
1047 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1048 one from the Apache web server.
1050 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1051 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1053 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1054 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1055 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1057 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1059 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1061 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1062 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1065 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1066 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1067 removes a bad race condition.
1069 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1072 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1073 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1074 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1076 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1077 sequence information.
1079 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1080 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1082 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1085 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1088 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1090 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1091 interpret 034 as octal.
1093 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1095 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1096 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1098 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1099 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1101 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1102 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1104 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1105 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1107 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1108 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1110 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1111 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1112 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1114 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1115 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1116 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1118 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1120 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1122 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1123 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1126 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1128 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1129 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1131 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1132 header field information.
1134 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1135 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1137 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1138 values when parsing a content.
1140 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1141 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1143 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1144 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1146 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1147 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1149 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1150 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1152 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1154 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1156 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1158 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1160 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1161 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1164 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1165 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1167 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1168 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1169 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1170 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1171 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1172 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1175 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1177 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1178 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1179 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1181 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1182 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1184 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1186 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1187 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1188 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1189 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1191 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1192 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1195 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1196 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1197 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1198 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1201 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1203 * Released nmh-0.27.
1205 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1206 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1208 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1209 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1210 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1211 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1214 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1215 mhbuild returns an error.
1217 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1218 rename the draft file.
1220 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1221 use a global variable.
1223 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1224 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1226 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1227 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1229 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1230 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1231 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1233 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1234 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1236 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1237 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1240 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1241 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1244 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1245 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1247 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1248 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1249 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1251 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1252 to new function output_content_folder.
1254 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1255 new function output_content_file.
1257 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1258 to new function parse_format_string.
1260 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1261 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1262 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1263 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1265 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1266 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1267 message/external file from ftp.
1269 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1270 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1271 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1273 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1274 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1277 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1280 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1281 new file mhstoresbr.c
1283 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1286 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1287 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1289 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1290 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1292 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1293 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1294 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1296 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1298 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1300 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1301 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1304 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1305 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1307 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1310 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1312 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1314 * Released nmh-0.26.
1316 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1317 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1318 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1319 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1321 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1322 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1323 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1324 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1325 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1327 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1328 But it is not on by default.
1330 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1331 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1333 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1335 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1337 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1339 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1341 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1342 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1344 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1346 * Released nmh-0.25.
1348 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1349 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1350 uses the original name of the library.
1352 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1353 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1356 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1357 list_content and list_debug.
1359 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1361 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1362 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1364 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1366 * Released nmh-0.24.
1368 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1370 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1371 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1373 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1374 large sequence line.
1376 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1378 * Released nmh-0.23.
1380 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1382 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1383 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1384 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1385 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1387 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1388 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1391 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1393 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1395 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1397 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1398 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1400 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1401 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1403 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1404 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1406 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1407 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1409 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1411 * Released nmh-0.22.
1413 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1414 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1416 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1418 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1419 mh-profile(5) man page.
1421 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1422 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1424 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1426 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1428 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1429 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1431 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1433 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1434 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1435 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1437 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1438 source message on the standard input.
1440 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1442 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1443 rather than -rfc934mode.
1445 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1446 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1449 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1450 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1452 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1455 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1457 * Released nmh-0.21.
1459 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1460 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1462 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1465 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1466 to use for text contents.
1468 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1470 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1472 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1474 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1476 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1477 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1479 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1480 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1481 spaces between encoded word are.
1483 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1485 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1486 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1488 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1489 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1490 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1492 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1494 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1495 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1497 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1499 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1501 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1502 ISO-8859-X character set.
1504 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1507 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1508 permissions, not write permissions.
1510 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1511 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1513 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1516 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1518 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1520 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1521 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1523 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1524 message contains valid character set.
1526 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1527 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1529 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1530 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1532 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1533 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1534 between an encoded word and normal text.
1536 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1537 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1539 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1540 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1542 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1545 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1546 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1549 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1550 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1552 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1553 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1555 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1557 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1559 * Released nmh-0.20.
1561 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1563 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1565 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1566 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1567 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1569 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1570 and the To: line was missing.
1572 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1574 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1576 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1578 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1579 watch the POP transaction.
1581 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1582 first, and use it if available.
1584 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1585 first, and use it if available.
1587 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1589 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1591 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1592 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1593 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1596 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1597 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1598 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1600 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1601 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1604 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1606 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1607 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1609 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1611 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1612 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1614 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1615 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1616 message to which you are replying.
1618 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1619 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1620 making group replies.
1622 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1624 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1626 * Released nmh-0.19.
1628 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1629 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1631 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1632 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1633 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1634 to the end of the man page.
1636 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1637 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1638 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1639 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1640 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1641 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1643 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1646 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1647 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1648 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1650 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1651 the next available number above the message number you wish
1654 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1655 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1657 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1658 file sbr/seq_print.c
1660 * flist will now update the current folder.
1662 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1663 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1664 but now undocumented.
1666 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1669 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1670 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1672 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1674 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1675 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1677 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1679 * Released nmh-0.18.
1681 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1682 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1683 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1685 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1686 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1688 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1689 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1690 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1691 previous public/private status.
1693 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1696 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1699 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1700 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1701 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1703 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1704 take option to determine whether it should get current
1705 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1706 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1708 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1710 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1711 wait for stopped processes.
1713 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1714 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1716 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1718 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1720 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1721 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1723 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1724 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1726 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1727 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1728 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1729 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1731 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1734 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1737 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1739 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1740 the debugging output.
1742 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1743 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1745 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1747 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1749 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1750 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1752 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1754 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1755 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1756 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1757 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1758 in the given sequence.
1760 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1761 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1762 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
1763 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
1764 subdirectories of a given directory.
1766 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
1767 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
1768 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
1770 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
1771 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
1773 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
1775 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
1778 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
1779 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
1780 fields are now calculated at runtime.
1782 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
1783 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
1784 are calculated at runtime.
1786 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1788 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.

1791 about checking for global mh.profile.
1793 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
1794 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
1795 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
1796 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
1797 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
1798 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
1800 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
1801 adding message to folder itself.
1803 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
1804 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
1805 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
1808 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
1809 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
1812 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
1813 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
1814 is the same as the direct smtp code).
1816 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
1817 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
1819 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
1820 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
1821 code to use it yet).
1823 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1825 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
1827 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
1828 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
1830 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
1831 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
1833 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
1835 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
1838 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

1853 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
1855 * Removed all the code for BERK.
1857 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
1859 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
1860 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
1862 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
1863 configuration files.
1865 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.

1871 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
1873 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
1874 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
1876 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
1879 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
1880 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
1882 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
1883 number of refiled message.
1885 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
1887 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
1888 for return value of wait().
1890 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
1892 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1894 * Released nmh-0.16.

1898 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
1900 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
1901 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
1902 deal with binary messages, yet).
1904 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
1906 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
1908 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
1909 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
1910 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
1911 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
1912 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
1913 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
1915 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
1916 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
1918 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
1919 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
1921 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
1922 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
1925 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
1927 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
1929 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
1930 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
1933 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
1936 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
1938 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
1939 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
1940 which used unsigned chars by default.

1951 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
1953 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
1956 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
1957 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
1958 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
1960 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
1961 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
1963 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
1965 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
1966 they conflict with defines on AIX.
1968 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
1969 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
1970 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
1971 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
1973 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
1974 and put in own subroutine.
1976 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
1977 and put in own subroutine.
1979 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
1980 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
1981 refile.c to use new routine.
1983 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1985 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
1987 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
1990 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
1991 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
1992 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
1994 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
1997 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
1998 adding message to sequence.
2000 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2001 corresponding file in sbr.
2003 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2006 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2008 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2009 all selected messages from a sequence.
2011 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2012 selected messages to a sequence.
2014 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2017 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2019 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2020 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2022 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2065 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2066 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2069 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2070 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2072 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2074 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2075 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2077 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2079 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2104 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2105 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2107 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2108 will suppress the display of the message header.
2110 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2112 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2113 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2115 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2117 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2119 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2121 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2122 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2124 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2125 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2127 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2129 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2131 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2132 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2134 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2135 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2137 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2139 * Released nmh-0.10.

2146 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2148 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2149 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2151 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2152 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2154 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

2157 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2159 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2160 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2162 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2164 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2187 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2189 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2190 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2192 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2194 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather

2197 * Released nmh-0.08.
2199 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2200 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of

2211 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2212 rather than mmdf format.
2214 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2215 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2216 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2217 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2219 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2221 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2223 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2226 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2227 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2228 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2230 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2231 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2232 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2234 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2236 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2237 can still easily change this in config.h).
2239 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2240 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2241 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2243 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2245 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

2257 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2259 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2260 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2262 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2263 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2266 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2267 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2269 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2270 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2272 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2274 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2276 * Added configure check for tzset.
2278 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2280 * Released nmh-0.06.
2282 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2283 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2285 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2286 many such machines around anymore.
2288 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2289 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2291 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2292 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2294 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2296 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2297 pre-generated version if necessary.
2299 * Released nmh-0.05.
2301 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2302 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2303 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2304 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2306 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2307 be linked in one pass.
2309 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2311 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2312 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2314 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2316 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2318 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2320 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2321 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2322 become the current folder.
2324 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2326 * Released nmh-0.04.
2328 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2331 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2333 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2334 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2335 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2337 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2339 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2340 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2342 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2344 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2345 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2348 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2349 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2351 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2353 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2354 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2355 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2356 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2357 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2358 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2360 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2362 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2363 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2365 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2366 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2368 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2370 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2371 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2373 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2375 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2376 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2377 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2379 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2381 * Released nmh-0.03.
2383 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2384 .mh_sequence file existed.
2386 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2387 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2389 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2390 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2393 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2395 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2398 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2400 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2401 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2402 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2404 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2406 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2407 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2408 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2410 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2412 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2413 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2415 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2417 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2419 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2420 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2421 directory from where the source code is located.
2423 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2425 * Released nmh-0.02.
2427 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2432 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2434 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2435 and sys_nerr directly.
2437 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2439 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2441 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2443 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2445 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2446 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2447 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2448 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2449 rather than in script.
2451 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2453 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2455 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2456 macro defined on Solaris.
2458 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2460 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2461 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2463 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2464 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2465 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2466 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2469 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2471 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2472 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2474 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2477 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2479 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2481 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2482 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2484 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2486 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2487 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2489 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2491 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2492 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2493 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2494 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2495 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2496 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2498 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2500 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2502 * Released nmh-0.01.
2504 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2505 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2506 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2509 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2511 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2514 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2516 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2517 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2519 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2521 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2522 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2523 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2524 script to find_program.
2526 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2528 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2529 speed up -recurse option.
2531 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2532 yet, but it compiles :-)
2534 * Changed default location for install to
2535 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2536 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2537 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2540 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2541 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2542 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
