[nmh] / ChangeLog

3 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
4 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
5 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
6 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
7 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
8 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
9
10 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
11 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
12 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
13 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
14 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
15 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
16 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
17 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
18
19 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
20 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
21 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
22 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
23 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
24 tags, and "&lt;" and "&gt;" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
25 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
26 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
27 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
28 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.

31
32 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
33 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
34
35 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
36 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
37
38 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
39 exit 2
40
41 and:
42
43 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
44
45 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
46 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
47 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
48 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
49
50 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
51 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
52 problem in the routine.
53
54 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
55
56 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
57 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
58
59 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
60 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
61 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
62 spool somehow.
63
64 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
65
66 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
67 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
68 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
69 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
70 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
71 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
72 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
73 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
74 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
75 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
76
77 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
78
79 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
80 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
81 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
82 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
83 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
84 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
85 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
86 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
87 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
88 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
89 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
90 interesting than a duplication of the default.
91
92 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
93 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
94 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
95 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
96 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
97
98 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
99 POP is enabled.
100
101 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
102
103 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
104 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
105 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
106 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
107 here.
108
109 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
110
111 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
112
113 * Applied, after some finessing,
114 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
115
116 Here's a patch that allows you to add
117
118 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
119
120 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
121 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
122 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
123 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
124
125 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
126
127 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
128 forgetting to do so!).
129
130 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
131 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
132 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
133 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
134 arguments to enable all three types.
135
136 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
137 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
138
139 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
140 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
141 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
142 updated copy of mts.conf.
143
144 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
145
146 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
147 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
148 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
149
150 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
151 and
152 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
153
154 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
155 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
156 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
157
158 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
159 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
160 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
161
162 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
163 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
164 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
165
166 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
167
168 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
169
170 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
171
172 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
173
174 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
175 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
176
177 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
178 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
179 certain suffix to run properly.
180
181 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
182 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
183 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
184
185 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
186 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
187 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
188 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
189 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
190 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
191 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
192
193 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
194
195 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
196 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
197 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
198 until some year far in the future).
199
200 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
201
202 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
203
204 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
205 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
206
207 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
208 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
209 corrupted.
210
211 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
212
213 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
214 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
215 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
216 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
217 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
218 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
219
220 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
221
222 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
223
224 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
225 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
226 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
227
228 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
229 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
230 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
231 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
232 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
233 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
234 leads me to:
235
236 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
237 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
238 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
239 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
240 of masquerading individually.
241
242 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
243 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
244 GECOS field delimiters.
245
246 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
247
248 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
249 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
250 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
251 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
252 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
253 and explaining the feature.
254
255 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
256
257 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
258 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
259 so).
260
261 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
262 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
263 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
264
265 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
266 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
267 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
268 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
269
270 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
271 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
272 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
273 anywhere.
274
275 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
276
277 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
278 code to be executed.
279
280 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
281
282 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
283
284 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
285 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
286 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
287 quotes embedded in them.
288
289 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
290
291 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
292 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
293 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
294 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
295 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
296 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
297 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
298 allowed to specify.
299
300 The other theory is that because you can say something like
301 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
302 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
303 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
304 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
305
306 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
307
308 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
309
310 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
311 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
312 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
313 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
314
315 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
316 KPOP server.
317
318 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
319
320 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
321
322 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
323
324 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
325 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
326 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
327
328 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
329 mhn.defaults.sh.
330
331 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
332
333 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
334 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
335 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
336 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
337 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
338 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
339
340 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
341 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
342
343 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
344
345 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
346 page.
347
348 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
349
350 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
351 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
352 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
353 to be setgid.
354
355 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
356 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
357 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
358 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
359 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
360 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
361 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
362 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
363 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
364 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
365 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
366 processing that post has).
367
368 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
369
370 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
371 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
372 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
373 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
374 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
375 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
376 Solaris 2.6).
377
378 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
379
380 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
381
382 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
383
384 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
385
386 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
387 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
388
389 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
390 command-line.
391
392 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
393
394 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
395 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
396 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
397 some development.
398
399 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
400
401 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
402 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
403 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
404 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
405 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
406 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
407
408 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
409
410 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
411
412 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
413
414 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
415 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
416 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
417 caught again. This works for now.
418
419 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
420
421 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
422
423 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
424 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
425
426 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
427
428 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
429 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
430
431 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
432
433 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
434
435 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
436
437 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
438 changes. Both need more cleanup.
439
440 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
441
442 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
443 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
444 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
445 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
446 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
447 multiple purposes.
448
449 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
450
451 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
452 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
453 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
454
455 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
456 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
457 config.guess.
458
459 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
460
461 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
462 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
463 to a directory on another device with more free space.
464
465 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
466
467 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
468 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
469
470 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
471
472 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
473 distributed.
474
475 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
476 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
477
478 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
479 macros, regardless of platform.
480
481 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
482 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
483
484 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
485 with x-conversions=gzip.
486
487 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
488
489 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
490 post.c.
491
492 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
493 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
494 implicit definition of ioctl().
495
496 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
497 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
498 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
499 want to mess with them.
500
501 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
502
503 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
504 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
505
506 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
507 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
508
509 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
510 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
511 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
512
513 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
514 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
515 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
516
517 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
518 function initgroups.
519
520 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
521 function.
522
523 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
524 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
525 to fix warnings.
526
527 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
528 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
529 prevent warnings.
530
531 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
532 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
533 statements).
534
535
536 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
537
538 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
539 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
540 preventing compilation on at least linux.
541
542 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
543 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
544
545 Thu Sep 9 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
546
547 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
548
549 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
550 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
551 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
552 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
553
554 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
555 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
556
557 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
558
559 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
560
561 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
562
563 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
564 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
565
566 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
567
568 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
569 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
570
571 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
572 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
573 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
574 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
575
576 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
577 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
578
579 Sat Jun 9 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
580
581 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
582 substitute it for mktemp if available.
583
584 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
585
586 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
587 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
588 proper #defines.
589
590 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
591
592 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
593
594 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
595
596 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
597 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
598
599 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
600 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
601 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
602
603 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
604 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
605 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
606
607 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
608 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
609 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
610
611 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
612 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
613 <swb@nconnect.net>.
614
615 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
616 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
617
618 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
619 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
620
621 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
622 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
623
624 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
625 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
626 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
627
628 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
629 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
630
631 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
632 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
633 <elleron@servtech.com>.
634
635 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
636 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
637 <rmg@netapp.com>.
638
639 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
640 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
641
642 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
643 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
644 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
645 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
646
647 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
648 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
649
650 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
651
652 * Released nmh-1.0.
653
654 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
655 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
656 would not be changed.
657
658 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
659 one from the Apache web server.
660
661 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
662 (this should have been done a long time ago).
663
664 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
665 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
666 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
667
668 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
669
670 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
671
672 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
673 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
674 verbose printing).
675
676 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
677 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
678 removes a bad race condition.
679
680 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
681 style drop file.
682
683 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
684 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
685 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
686
687 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
688 sequence information.
689
690 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
691 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
692
693 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
694 count.
695
696 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
697 is empty.
698
699 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
700
701 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
702 interpret 034 as octal.
703
704 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
705
706 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
707 mhstore, and mhbuild.
708
709 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
710 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
711
712 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
713 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
714
715 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
716 in the c_cefile structure when building.
717
718 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
719 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
720
721 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
722 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
723 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
724
725 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
726 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
727 and mhshow. Updated man pages
728
729 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
730
731 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
732
733 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
734 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
735 file "mhoutsbr.c".
736
737 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
738
739 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
740 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
741
742 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
743 header field information.
744
745 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
746 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
747
748 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
749 values when parsing a content.
750
751 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
752 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
753
754 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
755 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
756
757 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
758 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
759
760 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
761 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
762
763 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
764
765 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
766
767 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
768
769 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
770
771 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
772 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
773 read.
774
775 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
776 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
777
778 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
779 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
780 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
781 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
782 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
783 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
784 be setuid/setgid.
785
786 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
787
788 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
789 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
790 buffer length checks for this parameter.
791
792 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
793 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
794
795 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
796
797 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
798 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
799 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
800 of the limits on the length of command lines.
801
802 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
803 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
804 fix).
805
806 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
807 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
808 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
809 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
810 arguments.
811
812 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
813
814 * Released nmh-0.27.
815
816 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
817 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
818
819 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
820 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
821 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
822 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
823 with no arguments.
824
825 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
826 mhbuild returns an error.
827
828 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
829 rename the draft file.
830
831 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
832 use a global variable.
833
834 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
835 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
836
837 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
838 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
839
840 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
841 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
842 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
843
844 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
845 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
846
847 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
848 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
849 this new page.
850
851 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
852 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
853 viamail program.
854
855 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
856 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
857
858 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
859 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
860 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
861
862 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
863 to new function output_content_folder.
864
865 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
866 new function output_content_file.
867
868 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
869 to new function parse_format_string.
870
871 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
872 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
873 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
874 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
875
876 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
877 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
878 message/external file from ftp.
879
880 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
881 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
882 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
883
884 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
885 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
886 mhfree.c.
887
888 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
889 file mhshowsbr.c.
890
891 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
892 new file mhstoresbr.c
893
894 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
895 file mhparse.c.
896
897 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
898 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
899
900 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
901 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
902
903 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
904 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
905 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
906
907 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
908
909 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
910
911 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
912 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
913 to main().
914
915 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
916 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
917
918 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
919 to mhparse.c).
920
921 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
922
923 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
924
925 * Released nmh-0.26.
926
927 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
928 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
929 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
930 is still the same (dashstuffing).
931
932 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
933 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
934 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
935 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
936 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
937
938 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
939 But it is not on by default.
940
941 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
942 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
943
944 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
945
946 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
947
948 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
949
950 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
951
952 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
953 number of the "cur" message when packing.
954
955 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
956
957 * Released nmh-0.25.
958
959 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
960 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
961 uses the original name of the library.
962
963 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
964 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
965 links remaining.
966
967 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
968 list_content and list_debug.
969
970 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
971
972 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
973 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
974
975 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
976
977 * Released nmh-0.24.
978
979 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
980
981 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
982 are given, that order doesn't matter.
983
984 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
985 large sequence line.
986
987 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
988
989 * Released nmh-0.23.
990
991 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
992
993 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
994 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
995 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
996 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
997
998 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
999 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1000 file h/mhnsbr.h.
1001
1002 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1003
1004 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1005
1006 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1007
1008 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1009 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1010
1011 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1012 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1013
1014 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1015 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1016
1017 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1018 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1019
1020 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1021
1022 * Released nmh-0.22.
1023
1024 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1025 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1026
1027 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1028
1029 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1030 mh-profile(5) man page.
1031
1032 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1033 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1034
1035 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1036
1037 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1038
1039 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1040 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1041
1042 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1043
1044 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1045 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1046 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1047
1048 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1049 source message on the standard input.
1050
1051 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1052
1053 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1054 rather than -rfc934mode.
1055
1056 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1057 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1058 only one message.
1059
1060 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1061 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1062
1063 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1064 it is still needed.
1065
1066 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1067
1068 * Released nmh-0.21.
1069
1070 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1071 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1072
1073 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1074 encoding to use.
1075
1076 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1077 to use for text contents.
1078
1079 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1080
1081 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1082
1083 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1084
1085 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1086
1087 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1088 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1089
1090 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1091 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1092 spaces between encoded word are.
1093
1094 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1095
1096 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1097 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1098
1099 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1100 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1101 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1102
1103 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1104
1105 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1106 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1107
1108 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1109
1110 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1111
1112 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1113 ISO-8859-X character set.
1114
1115 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1116 pager more.
1117
1118 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1119 permissions, not write permissions.
1120
1121 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1122 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1123
1124 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1125 distribution.
1126
1127 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1128
1129 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1130
1131 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1132 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1133
1134 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1135 message contains valid character set.
1136
1137 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1138 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1139
1140 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1141 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1142
1143 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1144 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1145 between an encoded word and normal text.
1146
1147 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1148 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1149
1150 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1151 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1152
1153 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1154 and -help.
1155
1156 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1157 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1158 loops).
1159
1160 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1161 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1162
1163 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1164 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1165
1166 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1167
1168 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1169
1170 * Released nmh-0.20.
1171
1172 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1173
1174 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1175
1176 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1177 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1178 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1179
1180 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1181 and the To: line was missing.
1182
1183 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1184
1185 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1186
1187 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1188
1189 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1190 watch the POP transaction.
1191
1192 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1193 first, and use it if available.
1194
1195 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1196 first, and use it if available.
1197
1198 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1199
1200 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1201
1202 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1203 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1204 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1205 sequence line.
1206
1207 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1208 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1209 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1210
1211 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1212 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1213 lines.
1214
1215 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1216
1217 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1218 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1219
1220 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1221
1222 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1223 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1224
1225 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1226 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1227 message to which you are replying.
1228
1229 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1230 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1231 making group replies.
1232
1233 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1234
1235 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1236
1237 * Released nmh-0.19.
1238
1239 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1240 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1241
1242 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1243 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1244 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1245 to the end of the man page.
1246
1247 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1248 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1249 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1250 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1251 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1252 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1253
1254 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1255 pages.
1256
1257 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1258 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1259 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1260
1261 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1262 the next available number above the message number you wish
1263 to preserve.
1264
1265 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1266 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1267
1268 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1269 file sbr/seq_print.c
1270
1271 * flist will now update the current folder.
1272
1273 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1274 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1275 but now undocumented.
1276
1277 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1278 traversing folders.
1279
1280 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1281 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1282
1283 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1284
1285 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1286 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1287
1288 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1289
1290 * Released nmh-0.18.
1291
1292 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1293 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1294 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1295
1296 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1297 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1298
1299 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1300 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1301 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1302 previous public/private status.
1303
1304 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1305 correctly.
1306
1307 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1308 private sequences).
1309
1310 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1311 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1312 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1313
1314 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1315 take option to determine whether it should get current
1316 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1317 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1318
1319 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1320
1321 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1322 wait for stopped processes.
1323
1324 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1325 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1326
1327 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1328
1329 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1330
1331 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1332 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1333
1334 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1335 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1336
1337 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1338 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1339 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1340 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1341
1342 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1343 status allocation).
1344
1345 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1346 the code.
1347
1348 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1349
1350 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1351 the debugging output.
1352
1353 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1354 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1355
1356 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1357
1358 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1359
1360 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1361 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1362
1363 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1364
1365 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1366 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1367 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1368 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1369 in the given sequence.
1370
1371 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1372 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1373 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
1374 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
1375 subdirectories of a given directory.
1376
1377 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
1378 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
1379 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
1380
1381 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
1382 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
1383
1384 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
1385
1386 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
1387 to 0700 (was 0711).
1388
1389 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
1390 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
1391 fields are now calculated at runtime.
1392
1393 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
1394 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
1395 are calculated at runtime.
1396
1397 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1398
1399 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
1400
1401 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
1402 about checking for global mh.profile.
1403
1404 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
1405 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
1406 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
1407 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
1408 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
1409 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
1410
1411 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
1412 adding message to folder itself.
1413
1414 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
1415 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
1416 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
1417 instead of exiting.
1418
1419 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
1420 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
1421 the error EEXIST.
1422
1423 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
1424 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
1425 is the same as the direct smtp code).
1426
1427 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
1428 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
1429
1430 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
1431 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
1432 code to use it yet).
1433
1434 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1435
1436 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
1437
1438 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
1439 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
1440
1441 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
1442 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
1443
1444 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
1445
1446 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
1447 to folder_addmsg.c
1448
1449 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1450
1451 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
1452
1453 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
1454
1455 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
1456
1457 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
1458 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
1459
1460 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
1461
1462 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
1463
1464 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
1465
1466 * Removed all the code for BERK.
1467
1468 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
1469
1470 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
1471 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
1472
1473 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
1474 configuration files.
1475
1476 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
1477
1478 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1479
1480 * Released nmh-0.17.
1481
1482 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
1483
1484 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
1485 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
1486
1487 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
1488 defined.
1489
1490 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
1491 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
1492
1493 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
1494 number of refiled message.
1495
1496 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
1497
1498 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
1499 for return value of wait().
1500
1501 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
1502
1503 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1504
1505 * Released nmh-0.16.
1506
1507 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1508
1509 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
1510
1511 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
1512 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
1513 deal with binary messages, yet).
1514
1515 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
1516
1517 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
1518
1519 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
1520 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
1521 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
1522 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
1523 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
1524 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
1525
1526 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
1527 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
1528
1529 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
1530 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
1531
1532 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
1533 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
1534 MH-6.8.4 patch).
1535
1536 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
1537
1538 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
1539
1540 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
1541 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
1542 composition files.
1543
1544 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
1545 files.
1546
1547 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
1548
1549 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
1550 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
1551 which used unsigned chars by default.
1552
1553 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1554
1555 * Released nmh-0.15.
1556
1557 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
1558 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
1559
1560 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
1561
1562 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
1563
1564 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
1565 return 0.
1566
1567 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
1568 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
1569 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
1570
1571 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
1572 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
1573
1574 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
1575
1576 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
1577 they conflict with defines on AIX.
1578
1579 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
1580 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
1581 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
1582 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
1583
1584 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
1585 and put in own subroutine.
1586
1587 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
1588 and put in own subroutine.
1589
1590 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
1591 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
1592 refile.c to use new routine.
1593

1599 seq_getnum.
1600
1601 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
1602 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
1603 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
1604
1605 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
1606 no longer used.
1607
1608 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
1609 adding message to sequence.
1610
1611 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
1612 corresponding file in sbr.
1613
1614 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
1615 file in sbr.
1616
1617 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
1618
1619 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
1620 all selected messages from a sequence.
1621
1622 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
1623 selected messages to a sequence.
1624
1625 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
1626 and m_seqok.c.

1651
1652 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
1653 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
1654 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
1655 environment variable.
1656
1657 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
1658 draft folder facility in nmh.

1666
1667 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
1668 options.
1669

1671
1672 * Released nmh-0.13.
1673
1674 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
1675 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
1676 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
1677 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
1678 to MAXARGS).
1679
1680 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
1681 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
1682
1683 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1684
1685 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
1686 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
1687
1688 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1689
1690 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
1691 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.
1692
1693 Mon Apr 21 02:19:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1694

1701 Thu Apr 10 02:39:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1702
1703 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
1704 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
1705
1706 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
1707 mp->attrstats with macros.
1708
1709 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
1710 in msh.c instead.
1711
1712 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
1713 to hide dd->dd_fd.
1714
1715 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
1716 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
1717
1718 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
1719 will suppress the display of the message header.
1720
1721 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
1722
1723 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
1724 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
1725
1726 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
1727
1728 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
1729
1730 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
1731
1732 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
1733 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
1734
1735 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
1736 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
1737
1738 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
1739
1740 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
1741
1742 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
1743 folder/message structure when done with folder.
1744
1745 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
1746 defined even if message is missing "From " line.

1755 by default.
1756
1757 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1758
1759 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
1760 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
1761
1762 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
1763 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
1764
1765 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
1766 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.

1789 * prompter.c: don't include <sys/ioctl.h> anymore.
1790
1791 Thu Mar 6 04:03:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1792
1793 * Added `-mime' and `-nomime' options to `repl'.
1794 From MH-6.8.4 diff.
1795
1796 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1797
1798 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
1799
1800 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
1801 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
1802
1803 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1804
1805 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
1806 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
1807
1808 * Released nmh-0.08.
1809
1810 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
1811 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
1812 locking database itself.
1813
1814 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1815
1816 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
1817
1818 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
1819 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
1820 option.
1821
1822 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
1823 rather than mmdf format.
1824
1825 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
1826 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
1827 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
1828 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
1829
1830 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
1831
1832 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1833
1834 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
1835 added to packf.
1836
1837 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
1838 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
1839 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
1840
1841 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
1842 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
1843 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
1844
1845 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1846
1847 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
1848 can still easily change this in config.h).
1849
1850 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
1851 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
1852 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
1853
1854 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1855
1856 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
1857 than tzset and external timezone variable.

1870 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
1871 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
1872
1873 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
1874 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
1875 on SCO 5.x.
1876
1877 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
1878 built-in FTP client in mhn.
1879
1880 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
1881 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
1882
1883 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
1884
1885 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
1886
1887 * Added configure check for tzset.
1888
1889 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1890
1891 * Released nmh-0.06.
1892
1893 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
1894 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
1895
1896 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
1897 many such machines around anymore.
1898
1899 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
1900 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
1901
1902 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
1903 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
1904
1905 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

1907 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
1908 pre-generated version if necessary.
1909
1910 * Released nmh-0.05.
1911
1912 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
1913 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
1914 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
1915 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
1916
1917 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
1918 be linked in one pass.
1919
1920 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1921
1922 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
1923 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
1924
1925 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1926
1927 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
1928
1929 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1930
1931 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
1932 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
1933 become the current folder.
1934
1935 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1936
1937 * Released nmh-0.04.

1943
1944 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
1945 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
1946 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
1947
1948 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1949
1950 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
1951 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
1952
1953 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1954
1955 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
1956 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
1957 using POP.
1958
1959 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
1960 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
1961
1962 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1963
1964 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
1965 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
1966 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
1967 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
1968 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
1969 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
1970
1971 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1972
1973 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
1974 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
1975
1976 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
1977 a file (currently need to specify full path).
1978
1979 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1980
1981 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
1982 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
1983
1984 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1985
1986 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
1987 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
1988 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
1989
1990 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1991
1992 * Released nmh-0.03.
1993
1994 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
1995 .mh_sequence file existed.
1996
1997 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
1998 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
1999
2000 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2001 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2002 man page.
2003
2004 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2005
2006 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2007 flist man page.
2008
2009 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2010
2011 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2012 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2013 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2014
2015 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2016
2017 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2018 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2019 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.

2027
2028 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2029
2030 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2031 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2032 directory from where the source code is located.
2033
2034 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2056 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2057 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2058 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path

2060 rather than in script.
2061
2062 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2063
2064 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2065

2070
2071 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2072 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2073
2074 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2075 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2076 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2077 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2078 options if enabled.
2079
2080 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2081
2082 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2083 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2084
2085 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2086 correctly found.
2087
2088 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2089
2090 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2091
2092 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2093 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2094
2095 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2096
2097 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2098 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2099
2100 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2101
2102 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2103 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2104 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2105 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2106 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2107 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2108
2109 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2110
2111 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2112
2113 * Released nmh-0.01.
2114
2115 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2116 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2117 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2118 have POSIX signals.
2119
2120 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2121
2122 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2123 their man pages.
2124
2125 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2126
2127 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2128 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2129
2130 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2131
2132 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2133 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2134 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2135 script to find_program.
2136
2137 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2138
2139 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2140 speed up -recurse option.
2141
2142 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2143 yet, but it compiles :-)
2144
2145 * Changed default location for install to
2146 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2147 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2148 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2149 level Makefile.
2150
2151 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2152 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2153 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
