3 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
4 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
6 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
8 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
9 find sub-parts of the specified part
11 2003-9-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
12 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
14 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
16 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
19 136976 - Handle binary content messages
20 143427 - mh-format.man typo
21 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
22 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
23 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
24 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
25 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
26 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
27 181867 - typo for nmh.man
29 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
31 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
32 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
33 contitional code which will result in cached data to
34 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
35 and parse on the first use.
36 * Remove some unused flag bits.
38 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
40 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
41 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
43 #578 - repl leaks umask
44 #1393 - sortm core dumps
45 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
46 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
47 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
49 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
50 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
52 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
54 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
55 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
57 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
59 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
60 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
63 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
65 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
67 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
68 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
69 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
70 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
73 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
75 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
76 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
77 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
78 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
79 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
80 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
83 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
84 summary configure prints out.
86 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
87 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
88 subjectively more readable) format.
90 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
92 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
95 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
97 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
98 19xx when it's not necessary.
100 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
102 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
103 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
106 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
107 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
108 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
109 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
110 the man pages correctly.
112 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
114 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
116 * Finished manpages ali-prev
118 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
119 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
120 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
123 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
124 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
125 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
126 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
128 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
130 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
131 the formatting rules I've been using.
135 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
137 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
138 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
139 used in the manpages.
141 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
142 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
143 read in the contents of the file as the variable
146 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
147 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
148 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
149 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
150 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
151 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
152 bold flags and italicized parameters.
154 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
156 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
157 --with-locking option.
159 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
160 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
161 information was not being communicated to the
162 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
163 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
164 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
165 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
166 undefined symbols problems.
168 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
169 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
170 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
171 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
172 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
173 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
174 for a genuine krb4 installation.
176 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
178 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
179 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
181 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
183 * Made a new ./configure option called
184 "--with-locking" that allows the file
185 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
186 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
188 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
189 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
190 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
191 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
192 the user that these are the valid options, and
193 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
196 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
198 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
199 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
200 committed to supporting flex only, since
201 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
202 string, as well as other problems documented
203 below and on nmh-workers.
205 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
206 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
207 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
210 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
211 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
213 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
215 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
216 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
217 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
219 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
221 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
222 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
224 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
226 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
227 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
228 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
229 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
230 couldn't correctly identify them.
232 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
234 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
235 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
236 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
237 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
238 not depending on an external archive.
240 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
241 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
242 mts/generic is no longer built.
244 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
246 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
247 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
248 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
249 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
250 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
251 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
252 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
253 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
255 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
257 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
258 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
261 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
263 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
264 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
265 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
268 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
269 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
270 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
271 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
273 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
274 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
275 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
276 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
277 merged into the smtp code).
279 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
280 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
281 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
284 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
285 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
286 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
287 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
288 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
289 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
290 in the appropriate Makefile.in
292 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
294 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
295 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
296 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
297 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
298 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
299 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
300 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
301 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
302 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
303 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
304 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
306 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
308 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
309 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
310 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
311 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
312 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
313 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
314 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
315 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
316 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
318 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
320 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
321 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
324 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
326 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
327 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
329 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
331 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
332 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
333 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
334 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
336 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
338 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
339 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
340 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
341 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
342 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
344 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
345 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
347 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
349 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
351 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
352 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
353 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
354 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
356 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
357 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
358 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
359 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
361 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
362 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
363 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
364 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
366 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
367 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
368 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
370 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
372 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
373 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
374 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
375 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
376 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
377 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
380 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
381 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
383 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
384 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
386 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
388 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
390 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
392 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
393 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
394 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
395 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
397 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
399 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
400 be easily changed from "," to "#".
402 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
404 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
406 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
407 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
410 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
412 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
413 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
414 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
415 but not for the subsequent data stream.
417 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
419 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
420 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
421 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
422 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
423 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
425 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
427 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
428 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
430 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
431 cat, also define lorder as echo.
433 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
435 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
437 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
438 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
439 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
441 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
443 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
446 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
447 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
449 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
451 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
452 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
454 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
456 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
457 inc does not need to be setgid.
459 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
461 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
462 library, as found on Debian systems.
464 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
466 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
468 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
469 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
470 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
471 case-insensitivity flag.
473 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
475 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
476 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
478 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
480 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
481 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
482 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
483 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
484 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
485 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
486 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
487 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
488 getting moved aside).
490 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
491 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
493 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
495 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
496 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
497 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
498 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
499 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
500 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
501 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
502 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
503 the prototype, but never sets it.
505 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
506 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
507 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
508 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
509 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
510 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
512 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
513 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
514 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
515 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
516 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
518 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
520 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
521 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
524 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
525 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
526 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
527 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
528 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
529 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
530 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
532 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
534 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
536 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
537 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
538 this works on other systems.
540 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
542 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
543 checks for write failures.
545 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
547 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
549 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
552 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
554 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
556 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
558 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
559 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
562 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
564 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
565 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
566 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
567 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
569 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
571 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
572 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
575 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
576 as well as Makefiles.
578 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
580 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
581 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
582 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
583 should make maintainability easier.
585 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
586 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
587 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
588 whatever you know works.
590 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
592 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
593 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
594 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
596 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
597 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
598 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
599 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
601 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
602 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
603 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
605 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
606 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
607 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
608 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
609 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
611 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
612 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
613 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
614 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
615 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
616 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
617 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
618 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
619 from the BSD version.
621 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
622 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
623 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
625 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
628 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
631 This happens on solaris:
634 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
635 No manual entry for mts.conf.
639 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
641 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
642 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
644 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
646 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
647 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
648 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
649 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
650 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
651 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
652 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
653 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
654 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
655 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
656 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
658 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
659 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
660 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
661 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
662 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
663 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
666 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
667 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
668 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
669 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
670 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
672 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
673 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
675 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
677 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
678 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
679 to stdin, such as exmh.
681 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
682 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
683 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
686 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
688 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
689 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
690 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
691 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
692 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
693 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
694 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
696 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
698 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
699 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
701 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
703 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
704 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
706 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
708 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
711 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
712 along with any -host or -user option.
714 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
716 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
718 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
719 process was fresh in my mind.
721 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
723 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
724 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
726 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
728 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
730 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
733 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
734 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
735 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
736 part of the program's name.
738 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
739 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
742 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
744 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
745 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
746 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
747 single-character format would cause programs using this
748 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
749 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
750 when the format string was one character. This eventually
751 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
754 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
756 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
757 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
758 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
759 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
760 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
761 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
763 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
764 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
765 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
766 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
767 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
768 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
769 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
770 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
772 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
773 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
774 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
775 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
776 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
777 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
778 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
779 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
780 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
781 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
783 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
785 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
786 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
788 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
789 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
791 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
796 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
798 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
799 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
800 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
801 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
803 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
804 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
805 problem in the routine.
807 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
809 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
810 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
812 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
813 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
814 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
817 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
819 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
820 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
821 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
822 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
823 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
824 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
825 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
826 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
827 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
828 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
830 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
832 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
833 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
834 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
835 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
836 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
837 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
838 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
839 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
840 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
841 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
842 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
843 interesting than a duplication of the default.
845 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
846 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
847 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
848 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
849 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
851 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
854 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
856 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
857 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
858 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
859 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
862 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
864 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
866 * Applied, after some finessing,
867 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
869 Here's a patch that allows you to add
871 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
873 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
874 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
875 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
876 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
878 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
880 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
881 forgetting to do so!).
883 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
884 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
885 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
886 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
887 arguments to enable all three types.
889 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
890 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
892 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
893 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
894 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
895 updated copy of mts.conf.
897 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
899 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
900 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
901 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
903 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
905 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
907 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
908 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
909 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
911 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
912 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
913 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
915 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
916 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
917 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
919 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
921 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
923 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
925 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
927 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
928 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
930 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
931 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
932 certain suffix to run properly.
934 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
935 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
936 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
938 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
939 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
940 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
941 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
942 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
943 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
944 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
946 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
948 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
949 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
950 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
951 until some year far in the future).
953 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
955 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
957 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
958 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
960 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
961 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
964 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
966 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
967 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
968 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
969 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
970 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
971 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
973 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
975 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
977 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
978 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
979 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
981 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
982 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
983 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
984 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
985 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
986 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
989 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
990 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
991 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
992 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
993 of masquerading individually.
995 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
996 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
997 GECOS field delimiters.
999 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1001 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1002 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1003 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1004 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1005 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1006 and explaining the feature.
1008 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1010 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1011 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1014 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1015 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1016 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1018 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1019 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1020 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1021 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1023 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1024 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1025 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1028 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1030 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1031 code to be executed.
1033 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1035 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1037 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1038 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1039 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1040 quotes embedded in them.
1042 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1044 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1045 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1046 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1047 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1048 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1049 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1050 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1053 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1054 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1055 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1056 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1057 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1059 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1061 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1063 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1064 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1065 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1066 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1068 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1071 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1073 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1075 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1077 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1078 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1079 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1081 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1084 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1086 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1087 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1088 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1089 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1090 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1091 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1093 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1094 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1096 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1098 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1101 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1103 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1104 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1105 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1108 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1109 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1110 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1111 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1112 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1113 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1114 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1115 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1116 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1117 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1118 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1119 processing that post has).
1121 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1123 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1124 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1125 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1126 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1127 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1128 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1131 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1133 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1135 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1137 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1139 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1140 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1142 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1145 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1147 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1148 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1149 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1152 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1154 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1155 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1156 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1157 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1158 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1159 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1161 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1163 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1165 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1167 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1168 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1169 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1170 caught again. This works for now.
1172 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1174 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1176 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1177 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1179 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1181 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1182 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1184 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1186 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1188 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1190 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1191 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1193 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1195 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1196 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1197 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1198 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1199 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1202 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1204 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1205 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1206 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1208 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1209 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1212 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1214 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1215 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1216 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1218 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1220 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1221 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1223 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1225 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1228 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1229 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1231 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1232 macros, regardless of platform.
1234 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1235 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1237 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1238 with x-conversions=gzip.
1240 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1242 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1245 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1246 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1247 implicit definition of ioctl().
1249 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1250 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1251 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1252 want to mess with them.
1254 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1256 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1257 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1259 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1260 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1262 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1263 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1264 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1266 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1267 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1268 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1270 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1271 function initgroups.
1273 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1276 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1277 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1280 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1281 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1284 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1285 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1289 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1291 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1292 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1293 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1295 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1296 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1298 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1300 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1302 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1303 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1304 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1305 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1307 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1308 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1310 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1312 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1314 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1316 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1317 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1319 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1321 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1322 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1324 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1325 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1326 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1327 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1329 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1330 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1332 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1334 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1335 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1337 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1339 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1340 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1343 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1345 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1347 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1349 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1350 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1352 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1353 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1354 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1356 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1357 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1358 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1360 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1361 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1362 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1364 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1365 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1368 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1369 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1371 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1372 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1374 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1375 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1377 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1378 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1379 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1381 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1382 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1384 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1385 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1386 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1388 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1389 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1392 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1393 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1395 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1396 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1397 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1398 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1400 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1401 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1403 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1407 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1408 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1409 would not be changed.
1411 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1412 one from the Apache web server.
1414 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1415 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1417 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1418 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1419 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1421 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1423 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1425 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1426 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1429 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1430 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1431 removes a bad race condition.
1433 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1436 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1437 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1438 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1440 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1441 sequence information.
1443 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1444 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1446 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1449 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1452 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1454 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1455 interpret 034 as octal.
1457 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1459 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1460 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1462 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1463 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1465 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1466 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1468 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1469 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1471 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1472 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1474 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1475 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1476 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1478 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1479 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1480 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1482 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1484 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1486 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1487 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1490 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1492 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1493 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1495 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1496 header field information.
1498 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1499 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1501 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1502 values when parsing a content.
1504 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1505 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1507 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1508 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1510 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1511 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1513 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1514 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1516 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1518 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1520 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1522 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1524 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1525 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1528 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1529 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1531 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1532 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1533 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1534 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1535 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1536 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1539 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1541 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1542 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1543 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1545 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1546 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1548 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1550 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1551 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1552 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1553 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1555 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1556 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1559 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1560 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1561 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1562 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1565 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1567 * Released nmh-0.27.
1569 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1570 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1572 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1573 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1574 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1575 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1578 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1579 mhbuild returns an error.
1581 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1582 rename the draft file.
1584 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1585 use a global variable.
1587 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1588 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1590 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1591 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1593 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1594 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1595 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1597 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1598 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1600 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1601 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1604 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1605 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1608 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1609 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1611 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1612 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1613 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1615 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1616 to new function output_content_folder.
1618 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1619 new function output_content_file.
1621 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1622 to new function parse_format_string.
1624 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1625 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1626 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1627 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1629 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1630 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1631 message/external file from ftp.
1633 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1634 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1635 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1637 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1638 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1641 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1644 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1645 new file mhstoresbr.c
1647 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1650 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1651 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1653 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1654 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1656 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1657 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1658 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1660 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1662 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1664 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1665 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1668 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1669 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1671 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1674 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1676 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1678 * Released nmh-0.26.
1680 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1681 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1682 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1683 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1685 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1686 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1687 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1688 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1689 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1691 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1692 But it is not on by default.
1694 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1695 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1697 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1699 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1701 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1703 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1705 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1706 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1708 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1710 * Released nmh-0.25.
1712 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1713 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1714 uses the original name of the library.
1716 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1717 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1720 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1721 list_content and list_debug.
1723 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1725 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1726 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1728 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1730 * Released nmh-0.24.
1732 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1734 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1735 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1737 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1738 large sequence line.
1740 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1742 * Released nmh-0.23.
1744 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1746 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1747 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1748 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1749 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1751 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1752 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1755 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1757 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1759 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1761 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1762 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1764 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1765 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1767 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1768 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1770 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1771 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1773 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1775 * Released nmh-0.22.
1777 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1778 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1780 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1782 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1783 mh-profile(5) man page.
1785 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1786 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1788 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1790 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1792 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1793 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1795 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1797 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1798 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1799 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1801 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1802 source message on the standard input.
1804 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1806 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1807 rather than -rfc934mode.
1809 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1810 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1813 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1814 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1816 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1819 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1821 * Released nmh-0.21.
1823 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1824 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1826 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1829 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1830 to use for text contents.
1832 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1834 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1836 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1838 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1840 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1841 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1843 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1844 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1845 spaces between encoded word are.
1847 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1849 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1850 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1852 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1853 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1854 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1856 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1858 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1859 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1861 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1863 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1865 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1866 ISO-8859-X character set.
1868 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1871 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1872 permissions, not write permissions.
1874 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1875 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1877 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1880 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1882 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1884 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1885 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1887 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1888 message contains valid character set.
1890 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1891 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1893 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1894 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1896 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1897 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1898 between an encoded word and normal text.
1900 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1901 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1903 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1904 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1906 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1909 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1910 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1913 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1914 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1916 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1917 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1919 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1921 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1923 * Released nmh-0.20.
1925 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1927 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1929 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1930 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1931 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1933 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1934 and the To: line was missing.
1936 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1938 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1940 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1942 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1943 watch the POP transaction.
1945 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1946 first, and use it if available.
1948 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1949 first, and use it if available.
1951 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1953 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1955 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1956 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1957 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1960 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1961 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1962 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1964 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1965 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1968 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1970 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1971 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1973 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1975 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1976 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1978 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1979 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1980 message to which you are replying.
1982 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1983 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1984 making group replies.
1986 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1988 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1990 * Released nmh-0.19.
1992 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1993 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1995 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1996 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1997 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1998 to the end of the man page.
2000 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2001 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2002 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2003 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2004 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2005 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2007 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2010 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2011 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2012 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2014 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2015 the next available number above the message number you wish
2018 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2019 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2021 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2022 file sbr/seq_print.c
2024 * flist will now update the current folder.
2026 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2027 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2028 but now undocumented.
2030 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2033 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2034 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2036 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2038 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2039 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2041 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2043 * Released nmh-0.18.
2045 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2046 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2047 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2049 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2050 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2052 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2053 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2054 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2055 previous public/private status.
2057 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2060 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2063 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2064 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2065 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2067 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2068 take option to determine whether it should get current
2069 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2070 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2072 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2074 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2075 wait for stopped processes.
2077 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2078 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2080 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2082 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2084 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2085 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2087 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2088 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2090 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2091 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2092 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2093 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2095 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2098 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2101 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2103 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2104 the debugging output.
2106 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2107 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2109 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2111 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2113 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2114 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2116 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2118 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2119 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2120 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2121 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2122 in the given sequence.
2124 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2125 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2126 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2127 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2128 subdirectories of a given directory.
2130 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2131 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2132 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2134 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2135 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2137 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2139 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2142 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2143 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2144 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2146 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2147 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2148 are calculated at runtime.
2150 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2152 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2154 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2155 about checking for global mh.profile.
2157 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2158 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2159 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2160 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2161 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2162 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2164 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2165 adding message to folder itself.
2167 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2168 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2169 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2172 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2173 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2176 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2177 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2178 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2180 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2181 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2183 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2184 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2185 code to use it yet).
2187 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2189 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2191 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2192 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2194 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2195 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2197 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2199 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2202 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2204 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2206 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2208 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2210 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2211 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2213 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2215 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2217 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2219 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2221 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2223 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2224 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2226 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2227 configuration files.
2229 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2231 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2233 * Released nmh-0.17.
2235 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2237 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2238 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2240 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2243 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2244 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2246 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2247 number of refiled message.
2249 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2251 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2252 for return value of wait().
2254 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2256 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2258 * Released nmh-0.16.
2260 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2262 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2264 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2265 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2266 deal with binary messages, yet).
2268 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2270 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2272 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2273 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2274 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2275 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2276 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2277 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2279 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2280 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2282 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2283 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2285 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2286 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2289 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2291 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2293 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2294 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2297 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2300 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2302 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2303 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2304 which used unsigned chars by default.
2306 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2308 * Released nmh-0.15.
2310 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2315 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2317 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2320 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2321 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2322 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2324 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2325 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2327 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2329 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2330 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2332 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2333 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2334 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2335 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2337 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2338 and put in own subroutine.
2340 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2341 and put in own subroutine.
2343 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2344 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2345 refile.c to use new routine.

2349 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2351 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2354 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2355 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2356 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2358 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2361 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2362 adding message to sequence.

2365 corresponding file in sbr.
2367 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2370 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2372 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2373 all selected messages from a sequence.
2375 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2376 selected messages to a sequence.
2378 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2381 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2383 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2384 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2386 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2388 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2407 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2408 environment variable.
2410 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2411 draft folder facility in nmh.
2413 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h

2425 * Released nmh-0.13.
2427 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2428 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2429 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2430 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2433 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2434 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2436 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2438 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2439 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2441 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2443 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2444 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.

2472 will suppress the display of the message header.
2474 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2476 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2477 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2479 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2481 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2483 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h

2486 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2488 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2489 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2491 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2493 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2495 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2496 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2498 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2499 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2501 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2503 * Released nmh-0.10.

2513 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2515 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2516 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2518 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

2521 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2523 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2524 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2526 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2528 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
2529 of missing tabs in regex.

2556 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2558 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2559 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2561 * Released nmh-0.08.
2563 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2564 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2565 locking database itself.
2567 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2569 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2571 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2572 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2575 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2576 rather than mmdf format.
2578 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2579 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2580 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2581 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2583 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2585 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2587 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2590 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2591 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2592 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2594 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2595 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2596 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2598 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2600 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2601 can still easily change this in config.h).
2603 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2604 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2605 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2607 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2609 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

2621 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2623 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2624 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2626 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2627 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2630 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2631 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2633 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2634 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2636 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2638 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2640 * Added configure check for tzset.

2644 * Released nmh-0.06.
2646 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2647 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2649 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2650 many such machines around anymore.
2652 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2653 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2655 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2656 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2658 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2660 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2661 pre-generated version if necessary.
2663 * Released nmh-0.05.
2665 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2666 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2667 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2668 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2670 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2671 be linked in one pass.
2673 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2675 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2676 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2678 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2680 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2682 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2684 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2685 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2686 become the current folder.
2688 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2690 * Released nmh-0.04.
2692 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2695 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2697 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2698 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2699 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2701 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2703 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2704 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2706 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2708 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2709 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2712 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2713 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2715 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2717 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2718 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2719 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2720 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2721 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2722 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2724 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2726 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2727 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2729 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2730 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2732 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2734 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2735 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2737 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2739 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2740 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2741 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2743 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2745 * Released nmh-0.03.
2747 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2748 .mh_sequence file existed.
2750 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2751 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2753 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2754 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2757 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2759 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2762 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2764 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2765 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2766 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2768 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2770 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2771 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2772 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2774 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2776 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2777 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2779 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2781 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2783 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2784 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2785 directory from where the source code is located.
2787 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2789 * Released nmh-0.02.

2799 and sys_nerr directly.
2801 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2803 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2805 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2807 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2809 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2810 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2811 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2812 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2813 rather than in script.
2815 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2817 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2819 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2820 macro defined on Solaris.

2824 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2825 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2827 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2828 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2829 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2830 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2833 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2835 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2836 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2838 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2841 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2843 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2845 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2846 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2848 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2850 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2851 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2853 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2855 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2856 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2857 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2858 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2859 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2860 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2862 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2864 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2866 * Released nmh-0.01.
2868 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2869 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2870 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
