1 Mon Jul 17 13:11:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
3 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
4 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output.
6 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
8 * Added the obvious answer to Dan's question in README.developers;
9 I'm not sure why we don't just have this discussion in e-mail.
11 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
13 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
14 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
15 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
16 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
18 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
20 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
21 be easily changed from "," to "#".
23 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
25 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
27 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
28 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
31 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
33 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
34 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
35 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
36 but not for the subsequent data stream.
38 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
40 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
41 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
42 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
43 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
44 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
46 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
48 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
49 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
51 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
52 cat, also define lorder as echo.
54 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
56 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
58 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
59 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
60 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
62 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
64 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
67 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
68 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
70 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
72 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
73 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
75 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
77 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
78 inc does not need to be setgid.
80 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
82 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
83 library, as found on Debian systems.
85 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
87 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
89 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
90 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
91 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
92 case-insensitivity flag.
94 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
96 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
97 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
99 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
101 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
102 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
103 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
104 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
105 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
106 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
107 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
108 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
109 getting moved aside).
111 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
112 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
114 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
116 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
117 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
118 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
119 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
120 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
121 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
122 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
123 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
124 the prototype, but never sets it.
126 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
127 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
128 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
129 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
130 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
131 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
133 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
134 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
135 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
136 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
137 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
139 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
141 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
142 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
145 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
146 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
147 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
148 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
149 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
150 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
151 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
153 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
155 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
157 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
158 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
159 this works on other systems.
161 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
163 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
164 checks for write failures.
166 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
168 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
170 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
173 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
175 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
177 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
179 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
180 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
183 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
185 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
186 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
187 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
188 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
190 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
192 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
193 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
196 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
197 as well as Makefiles.
199 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
201 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
202 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
203 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
204 should make maintainability easier.
206 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
207 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
208 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
209 whatever you know works.
211 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
213 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
214 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
215 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
217 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
218 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
219 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
220 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
222 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
223 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
224 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
226 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
227 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
228 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
229 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
230 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
232 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
233 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
234 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
235 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
236 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
237 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
238 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
239 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
240 from the BSD version.
242 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
243 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
244 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
246 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
249 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
252 This happens on solaris:
255 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
256 No manual entry for mts.conf.
260 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
262 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
263 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
265 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
267 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
268 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
269 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
270 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
271 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
272 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
273 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
274 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
275 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
276 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
277 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
279 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
280 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
281 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
282 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
283 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
284 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
287 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
288 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
289 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
290 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
291 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
293 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
294 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
296 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
298 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
299 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
300 to stdin, such as exmh.
302 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
303 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
304 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
307 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
309 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
310 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
311 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
312 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
313 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
314 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
315 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
317 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
319 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
320 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
322 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
324 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
325 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
327 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
329 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
332 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
333 along with any -host or -user option.
335 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
337 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
339 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
340 process was fresh in my mind.
342 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
344 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
345 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
347 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
349 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
351 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
354 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
355 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
356 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
357 part of the program's name.
359 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
360 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
363 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
365 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
366 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
367 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
368 single-character format would cause programs using this
369 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
370 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
371 when the format string was one character. This eventually
372 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
375 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
377 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
378 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
379 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
380 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
381 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
382 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
384 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
385 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
386 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
387 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
388 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
389 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
390 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
391 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
393 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
394 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
395 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
396 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
397 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
398 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
399 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
400 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
401 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
402 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
404 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
406 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
407 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
409 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
410 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
412 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
417 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
419 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
420 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
421 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
422 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
424 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
425 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
426 problem in the routine.
428 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
430 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
431 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
433 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
434 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
435 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
438 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
440 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
441 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
442 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
443 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
444 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
445 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
446 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
447 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
448 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
449 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
451 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
453 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
454 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
455 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
456 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
457 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
458 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
459 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
460 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
461 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
462 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
463 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
464 interesting than a duplication of the default.
466 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
467 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
468 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
469 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
470 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
472 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
475 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
477 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
478 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
479 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
480 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
483 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
485 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
487 * Applied, after some finessing,
488 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
490 Here's a patch that allows you to add
492 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
494 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
495 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
496 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
497 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
499 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
501 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
502 forgetting to do so!).
504 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
505 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
506 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
507 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
508 arguments to enable all three types.
510 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
511 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
513 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
514 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
515 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
516 updated copy of mts.conf.
518 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
520 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
521 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
522 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
524 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
526 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
528 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
529 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
530 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
532 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
533 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
534 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
536 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
537 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
538 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
540 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
542 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
544 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
546 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
548 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
549 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
551 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
552 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
553 certain suffix to run properly.
555 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
556 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
557 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
559 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
560 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
561 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
562 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
563 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
564 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
565 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
567 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
569 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
570 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
571 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
572 until some year far in the future).
574 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
576 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
578 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
579 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
581 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
582 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
585 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
587 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
588 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
589 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
590 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
591 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
592 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
594 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
596 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
598 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
599 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
600 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
602 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
603 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
604 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
605 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
606 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
607 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
610 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
611 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
612 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
613 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
614 of masquerading individually.
616 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
617 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
618 GECOS field delimiters.
620 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
622 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
623 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
624 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
625 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
626 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
627 and explaining the feature.
629 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
631 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
632 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
635 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
636 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
637 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
639 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
640 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
641 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
642 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
644 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
645 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
646 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
649 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
651 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
654 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
656 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
658 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
659 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
660 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
661 quotes embedded in them.
663 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
665 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
666 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
667 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
668 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
669 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
670 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
671 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
674 The other theory is that because you can say something like
675 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
676 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
677 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
678 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
680 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
682 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
684 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
685 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
686 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
687 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
689 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
692 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
694 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
696 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
698 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
699 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
700 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
702 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
705 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
707 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
708 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
709 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
710 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
711 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
712 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
714 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
715 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
717 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
719 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
722 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
724 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
725 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
726 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
729 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
730 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
731 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
732 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
733 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
734 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
735 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
736 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
737 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
738 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
739 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
740 processing that post has).
742 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
744 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
745 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
746 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
747 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
748 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
749 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
752 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
754 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
756 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
758 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
760 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
761 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
763 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
766 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
768 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
769 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
770 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
773 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
775 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
776 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
777 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
778 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
779 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
780 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
782 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
784 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
786 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
788 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
789 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
790 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
791 caught again. This works for now.
793 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
795 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
797 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
798 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
800 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
802 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
803 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
805 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
807 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
809 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
811 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
812 changes. Both need more cleanup.
814 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
816 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
817 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
818 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
819 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
820 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
823 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
825 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
826 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
827 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
829 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
830 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
833 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
835 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
836 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
837 to a directory on another device with more free space.
839 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
841 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
842 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
844 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
846 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
849 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
850 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
852 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
853 macros, regardless of platform.
855 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
856 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
858 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
859 with x-conversions=gzip.
861 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
863 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
866 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
867 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
868 implicit definition of ioctl().
870 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
871 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
872 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
873 want to mess with them.
875 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
877 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
878 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
880 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
881 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
883 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
884 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
885 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
887 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
888 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
889 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
891 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
894 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
897 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
898 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
901 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
902 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
905 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
906 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
910 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
912 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
913 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
914 preventing compilation on at least linux.
916 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
917 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
919 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
921 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
923 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
924 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
925 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
926 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
928 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
929 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
931 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
933 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
935 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
937 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
938 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
940 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
942 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
943 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
945 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
946 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
947 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
948 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
950 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
951 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
953 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
955 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
956 substitute it for mktemp if available.
958 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
960 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
961 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
964 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
966 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
968 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
970 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
971 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
973 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
974 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
975 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
977 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
978 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
979 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
981 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
982 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
983 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
985 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
986 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
989 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
990 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
992 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
993 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
995 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
998 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
999 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1000 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1002 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1003 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1005 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1006 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1007 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1009 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1010 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1013 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1014 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1016 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1017 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1018 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1019 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1021 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1022 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1024 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1028 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1029 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1030 would not be changed.
1032 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1033 one from the Apache web server.
1035 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1036 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1038 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1039 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1040 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1042 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1044 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1046 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1047 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1050 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1051 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1052 removes a bad race condition.
1054 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1057 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1058 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1059 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1061 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1062 sequence information.
1064 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1065 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1067 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1070 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1073 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1075 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1076 interpret 034 as octal.
1078 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1080 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1081 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1083 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1084 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1086 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1087 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1089 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1090 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1092 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1093 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1095 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1096 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1097 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1099 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1100 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1101 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1103 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1105 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1107 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1108 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1111 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1113 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1114 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1116 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1117 header field information.
1119 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1120 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1122 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1123 values when parsing a content.
1125 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1126 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1128 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1129 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1131 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1132 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1134 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1135 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1137 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1139 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1141 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1143 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1145 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1146 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1149 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1150 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1152 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1153 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1154 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1155 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1156 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1157 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1160 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1162 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1163 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1164 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1166 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1167 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1169 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1171 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1172 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1173 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1174 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1176 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1177 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1180 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1181 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1182 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1183 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1186 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1188 * Released nmh-0.27.
1190 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1191 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1193 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1194 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1195 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1196 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1199 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1200 mhbuild returns an error.
1202 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1203 rename the draft file.
1205 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1206 use a global variable.
1208 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1209 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1211 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1212 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1214 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1215 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1216 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1218 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1219 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1221 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1222 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1225 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1226 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1229 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1230 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1232 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1233 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1234 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1236 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1237 to new function output_content_folder.
1239 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1240 new function output_content_file.
1242 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1243 to new function parse_format_string.
1245 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1246 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1247 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1248 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1250 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1251 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1252 message/external file from ftp.
1254 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1255 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1256 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1258 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1259 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1262 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1265 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1266 new file mhstoresbr.c
1268 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1271 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1272 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1274 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1275 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1277 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1278 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1279 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1281 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1283 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1285 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1286 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1289 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1290 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1292 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1295 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1297 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1299 * Released nmh-0.26.
1301 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1302 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1303 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1304 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1306 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1307 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1308 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1309 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1310 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1312 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1313 But it is not on by default.
1315 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1316 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1318 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1320 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1322 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1324 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1326 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1327 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1329 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1331 * Released nmh-0.25.
1333 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1334 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1335 uses the original name of the library.
1337 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1338 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1341 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1342 list_content and list_debug.
1344 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1346 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1347 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1349 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1351 * Released nmh-0.24.
1353 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1355 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1356 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1358 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1359 large sequence line.
1361 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1363 * Released nmh-0.23.
1365 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1367 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1368 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1369 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1370 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1372 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1373 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1376 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1378 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1380 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1382 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1383 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1385 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1386 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1388 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1389 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1391 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1392 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1394 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1396 * Released nmh-0.22.
1398 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1399 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1401 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1403 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1404 mh-profile(5) man page.
1406 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1407 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1409 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1411 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1413 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1414 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1416 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1418 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1419 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1420 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1422 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1423 source message on the standard input.
1425 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1427 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1428 rather than -rfc934mode.
1430 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1431 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1434 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1435 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1437 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1440 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1442 * Released nmh-0.21.
1444 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1445 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1447 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1450 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1451 to use for text contents.
1453 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1455 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1457 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1459 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1461 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1462 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1464 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1465 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1466 spaces between encoded word are.
1468 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1470 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1471 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1473 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1474 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1475 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1477 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1479 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1480 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1482 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1484 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1486 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1487 ISO-8859-X character set.
1489 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1492 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1493 permissions, not write permissions.
1495 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1496 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1498 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1501 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1503 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1505 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1506 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1508 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1509 message contains valid character set.
1511 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1512 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1514 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1515 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1517 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1518 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1519 between an encoded word and normal text.
1521 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1522 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1524 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1525 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1527 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1530 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1531 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1534 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1535 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1537 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1538 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1540 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1542 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1544 * Released nmh-0.20.
1546 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1548 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1550 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1551 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1552 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1554 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1555 and the To: line was missing.
1557 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1559 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1561 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1563 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1564 watch the POP transaction.
1566 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1567 first, and use it if available.
1569 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1570 first, and use it if available.
1572 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1574 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1576 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1577 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1578 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1581 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1582 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1583 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1585 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1586 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1589 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1591 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1592 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1594 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1596 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1597 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1599 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1600 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1601 message to which you are replying.
1603 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1604 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1605 making group replies.
1607 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1609 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1611 * Released nmh-0.19.
1613 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1614 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1616 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1617 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1618 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1619 to the end of the man page.
1621 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1622 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1623 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1624 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1625 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1626 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1628 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1631 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1632 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1633 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1635 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1636 the next available number above the message number you wish
1639 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1640 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1642 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1643 file sbr/seq_print.c
1645 * flist will now update the current folder.
1647 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1648 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1649 but now undocumented.
1651 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1654 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1655 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1657 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1659 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1660 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1662 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1664 * Released nmh-0.18.
1666 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1667 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1668 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1670 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1671 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1673 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1674 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1675 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1676 previous public/private status.
1678 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1681 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1684 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1685 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1686 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1688 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1689 take option to determine whether it should get current
1690 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1691 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1693 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1695 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1696 wait for stopped processes.
1698 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1699 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1701 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1703 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1705 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1706 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1708 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1709 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1711 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1712 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1713 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1714 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1716 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1719 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1722 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1724 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1725 the debugging output.
1727 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1728 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1730 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1732 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1734 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1735 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1737 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1739 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1740 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1741 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1742 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1743 in the given sequence.
1745 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1746 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1747 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
1748 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
1749 subdirectories of a given directory.
1751 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
1752 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
1753 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
1755 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
1756 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
1758 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
1760 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
1763 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
1764 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
1765 fields are now calculated at runtime.
1767 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
1768 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
1769 are calculated at runtime.
1771 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

1775 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
1776 about checking for global mh.profile.
1778 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
1779 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
1780 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
1781 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
1782 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
1783 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
1785 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
1786 adding message to folder itself.
1788 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
1789 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
1790 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
1793 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
1794 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
1797 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
1798 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
1799 is the same as the direct smtp code).
1801 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
1802 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
1804 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
1805 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
1806 code to use it yet).
1808 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1810 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
1812 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
1813 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.

1816 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
1818 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
1820 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c

1838 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
1840 * Removed all the code for BERK.
1842 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).

1845 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
1847 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
1848 configuration files.
1850 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.

1856 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
1858 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
1859 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
1861 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
1864 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
1865 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
1867 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
1868 number of refiled message.
1870 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
1872 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
1873 for return value of wait().
1875 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
1877 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1879 * Released nmh-0.16.
1881 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1883 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
1885 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
1886 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
1887 deal with binary messages, yet).
1889 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
1891 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
1893 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
1894 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
1895 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
1896 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
1897 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
1898 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
1900 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
1901 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
1903 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
1904 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
1906 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
1907 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
1910 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
1912 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
1914 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
1915 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
1918 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
1921 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
1923 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
1924 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
1925 which used unsigned chars by default.
1927 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1929 * Released nmh-0.15.
1931 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

1934 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
1936 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
1938 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
1941 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
1942 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
1943 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
1945 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
1946 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
1948 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
1950 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
1951 they conflict with defines on AIX.
1953 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
1954 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
1955 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
1956 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
1958 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
1959 and put in own subroutine.
1961 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
1962 and put in own subroutine.
1964 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
1965 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
1966 refile.c to use new routine.
1968 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1970 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
1972 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
1975 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
1976 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
1977 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
1979 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
1982 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
1983 adding message to sequence.
1985 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
1986 corresponding file in sbr.
1988 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
1991 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
1993 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
1994 all selected messages from a sequence.
1996 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
1997 selected messages to a sequence.
1999 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2002 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2004 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2005 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2007 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2009 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2028 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2029 environment variable.
2031 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2032 draft folder facility in nmh.
2034 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h

2046 * Released nmh-0.13.
2048 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2049 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2050 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2051 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2054 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2055 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2057 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2059 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2060 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2062 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2064 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2065 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.

2080 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2081 mp->attrstats with macros.
2083 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2086 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2089 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2090 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2092 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2093 will suppress the display of the message header.
2095 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2097 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2098 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2100 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2102 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2104 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2106 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2107 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2109 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2110 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2112 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2114 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2116 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2117 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2119 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2120 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2122 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2124 * Released nmh-0.10.

2131 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2133 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2134 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2136 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2137 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2139 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2140 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2142 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2144 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2145 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2147 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2149 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
2150 of missing tabs in regex.
2152 Sat Mar 8 01:58:22 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2154 * Released nmh-0.09.
2156 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
2158 * Add configure check for killpg.

2167 * Added `-mime' and `-nomime' options to `repl'.
2170 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2172 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2174 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2175 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2177 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2179 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2180 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2182 * Released nmh-0.08.
2184 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2185 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2186 locking database itself.
2188 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2190 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2192 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2193 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2196 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2197 rather than mmdf format.
2199 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2200 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2201 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2202 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2204 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2206 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2208 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2211 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2212 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2213 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2215 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2216 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2217 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2219 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2221 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2222 can still easily change this in config.h).
2224 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2225 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2226 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2228 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2230 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2231 than tzset and external timezone variable.
2233 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2235 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.
2237 * When ruserpass was added to LIBOBJS, it was missing
2240 * Released nmh-0.07.
2242 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2244 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2245 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2247 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2248 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2251 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2252 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2254 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2255 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2257 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2259 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2261 * Added configure check for tzset.
2263 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2265 * Released nmh-0.06.
2267 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2268 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2270 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2271 many such machines around anymore.
2273 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2274 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2276 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2277 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2279 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2281 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2282 pre-generated version if necessary.
2284 * Released nmh-0.05.
2286 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2287 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2288 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2289 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2291 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2292 be linked in one pass.
2294 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2296 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2297 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2299 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2301 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2303 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2305 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2306 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2307 become the current folder.
2309 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2311 * Released nmh-0.04.
2313 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2316 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2318 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2319 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2320 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2322 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2324 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2325 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2327 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2329 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2330 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2333 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2334 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2336 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2338 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2339 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2340 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2341 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2342 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2343 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2345 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2347 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2348 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2350 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2351 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2353 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2355 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2356 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2358 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2360 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2361 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2362 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2364 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2366 * Released nmh-0.03.
2368 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2369 .mh_sequence file existed.
2371 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2372 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2374 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2375 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2378 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2380 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2383 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2385 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2386 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2387 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2389 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2391 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2392 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2393 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2395 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2397 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2398 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2400 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2402 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2404 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2405 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2406 directory from where the source code is located.
2408 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2410 * Released nmh-0.02.
2412 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2417 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2419 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2420 and sys_nerr directly.
2422 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2424 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2426 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2428 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2430 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2431 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2432 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2433 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2434 rather than in script.
2436 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2438 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2440 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2441 macro defined on Solaris.
2443 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2445 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2446 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2448 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2449 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2450 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2451 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2454 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2456 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2457 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2459 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2462 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2464 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2466 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2467 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2469 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2471 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2472 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2474 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2476 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2477 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2478 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2479 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2480 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2481 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2483 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2485 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2487 * Released nmh-0.01.
2489 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2490 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2491 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2494 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2496 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2499 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2501 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2502 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2504 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2506 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2507 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2508 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2509 script to find_program.
2511 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2513 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2514 speed up -recurse option.
2516 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2517 yet, but it compiles :-)
2519 * Changed default location for install to
2520 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2521 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2522 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2525 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2526 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2527 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
