3 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
4 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
6 #578 - repl leaks umask
7 #1393 - sortm core dumps
8 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
9 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
10 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
12 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
13 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
15 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
17 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
18 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
20 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
22 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
23 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
26 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
28 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
30 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
31 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
32 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
33 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
36 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
38 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
39 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
40 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
41 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
42 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
43 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
46 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
47 summary configure prints out.
49 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
50 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
51 subjectively more readable) format.
53 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
55 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
58 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
60 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
61 19xx when it's not necessary.
63 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
65 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
66 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
69 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
70 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
71 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
72 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
73 the man pages correctly.
75 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
77 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
79 * Finished manpages ali-prev
81 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
82 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
83 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
86 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
87 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
88 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
89 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
91 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
93 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
94 the formatting rules I've been using.
98 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
100 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
101 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
102 used in the manpages.
104 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
105 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
106 read in the contents of the file as the variable
109 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
110 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
111 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
112 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
113 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
114 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
115 bold flags and italicized parameters.
117 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
119 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
120 --with-locking option.
122 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
123 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
124 information was not being communicated to the
125 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
126 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
127 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
128 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
129 undefined symbols problems.
131 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
132 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
133 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
134 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
135 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
136 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
137 for a genuine krb4 installation.
139 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
141 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
142 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
144 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
146 * Made a new ./configure option called
147 "--with-locking" that allows the file
148 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
149 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
151 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
152 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
153 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
154 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
155 the user that these are the valid options, and
156 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
159 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
161 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
162 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
163 committed to supporting flex only, since
164 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
165 string, as well as other problems documented
166 below and on nmh-workers.
168 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
169 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
170 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
173 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
174 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
176 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
178 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
179 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
180 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
182 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
184 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
185 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
187 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
189 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
190 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
191 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
192 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
193 couldn't correctly identify them.
195 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
197 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
198 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
199 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
200 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
201 not depending on an external archive.
203 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
204 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
205 mts/generic is no longer built.
207 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
209 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
210 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
211 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
212 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
213 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
214 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
215 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
216 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
218 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
220 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
221 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
224 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
226 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
227 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
228 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
231 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
232 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
233 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
234 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
236 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
237 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
238 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
239 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
240 merged into the smtp code).
242 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
243 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
244 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
247 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
248 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
249 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
250 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
251 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
252 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
253 in the appropriate Makefile.in
255 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
257 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
258 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
259 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
260 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
261 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
262 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
263 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
264 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
265 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
266 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
267 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
269 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
271 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
272 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
273 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
274 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
275 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
276 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
277 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
278 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
279 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
281 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
283 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
284 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
287 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
289 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
290 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
292 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
294 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
295 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
296 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
297 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
299 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
301 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
302 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
303 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
304 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
305 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
307 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
308 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
310 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
312 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
314 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
315 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
316 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
317 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
319 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
320 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
321 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
322 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
324 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
325 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
326 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
327 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
329 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
330 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
331 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
333 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
335 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
336 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
337 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
338 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
339 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
340 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
343 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
344 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
346 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
347 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
349 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
351 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
353 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
355 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
356 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
357 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
358 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
360 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
362 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
363 be easily changed from "," to "#".
365 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
367 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
369 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
370 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
373 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
375 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
376 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
377 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
378 but not for the subsequent data stream.
380 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
382 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
383 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
384 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
385 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
386 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
388 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
390 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
391 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
393 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
394 cat, also define lorder as echo.
396 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
398 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
400 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
401 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
402 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
404 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
406 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
409 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
410 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
412 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
414 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
415 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
417 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
419 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
420 inc does not need to be setgid.
422 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
424 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
425 library, as found on Debian systems.
427 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
429 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
431 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
432 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
433 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
434 case-insensitivity flag.
436 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
438 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
439 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
441 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
443 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
444 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
445 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
446 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
447 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
448 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
449 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
450 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
451 getting moved aside).
453 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
454 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
456 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
458 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
459 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
460 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
461 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
462 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
463 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
464 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
465 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
466 the prototype, but never sets it.
468 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
469 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
470 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
471 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
472 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
473 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
475 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
476 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
477 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
478 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
479 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
481 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
483 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
484 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
487 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
488 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
489 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
490 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
491 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
492 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
493 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
495 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
497 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
499 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
500 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
501 this works on other systems.
503 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
505 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
506 checks for write failures.
508 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
510 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
512 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
515 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
517 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
519 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
521 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
522 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
525 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
527 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
528 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
529 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
530 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
532 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
534 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
535 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
538 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
539 as well as Makefiles.
541 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
543 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
544 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
545 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
546 should make maintainability easier.
548 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
549 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
550 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
551 whatever you know works.
553 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
555 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
556 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
557 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
559 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
560 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
561 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
562 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
564 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
565 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
566 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
568 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
569 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
570 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
571 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
572 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
574 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
575 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
576 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
577 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
578 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
579 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
580 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
581 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
582 from the BSD version.
584 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
585 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
586 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
588 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
591 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
594 This happens on solaris:
597 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
598 No manual entry for mts.conf.
602 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
604 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
605 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
607 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
609 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
610 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
611 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
612 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
613 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
614 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
615 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
616 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
617 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
618 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
619 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
621 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
622 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
623 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
624 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
625 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
626 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
629 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
630 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
631 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
632 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
633 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
635 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
636 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
638 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
640 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
641 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
642 to stdin, such as exmh.
644 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
645 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
646 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
649 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
651 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
652 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
653 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
654 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
655 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
656 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
657 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
659 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
661 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
662 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
664 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
666 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
667 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
669 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
671 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
674 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
675 along with any -host or -user option.
677 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
679 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
681 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
682 process was fresh in my mind.
684 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
686 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
687 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
689 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
691 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
693 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
696 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
697 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
698 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
699 part of the program's name.
701 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
702 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
705 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
707 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
708 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
709 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
710 single-character format would cause programs using this
711 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
712 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
713 when the format string was one character. This eventually
714 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
717 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
719 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
720 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
721 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
722 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
723 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
724 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
726 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
727 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
728 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
729 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
730 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
731 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
732 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
733 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
735 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
736 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
737 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
738 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
739 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
740 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
741 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
742 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
743 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
744 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
746 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
748 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
749 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
751 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
752 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
754 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
759 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
761 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
762 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
763 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
764 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
766 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
767 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
768 problem in the routine.
770 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
772 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
773 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
775 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
776 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
777 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
780 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
782 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
783 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
784 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
785 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
786 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
787 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
788 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
789 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
790 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
791 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
793 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
795 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
796 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
797 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
798 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
799 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
800 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
801 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
802 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
803 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
804 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
805 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
806 interesting than a duplication of the default.
808 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
809 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
810 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
811 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
812 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
814 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
817 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
819 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
820 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
821 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
822 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
825 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
827 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
829 * Applied, after some finessing,
830 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
832 Here's a patch that allows you to add
834 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
836 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
837 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
838 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
839 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
841 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
843 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
844 forgetting to do so!).
846 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
847 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
848 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
849 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
850 arguments to enable all three types.
852 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
853 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
855 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
856 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
857 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
858 updated copy of mts.conf.
860 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
862 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
863 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
864 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
866 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
868 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
870 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
871 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
872 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
874 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
875 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
876 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
878 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
879 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
880 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
882 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
884 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
886 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
888 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
890 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
891 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
893 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
894 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
895 certain suffix to run properly.
897 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
898 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
899 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
901 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
902 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
903 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
904 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
905 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
906 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
907 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
909 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
911 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
912 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
913 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
914 until some year far in the future).
916 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
918 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
920 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
921 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
923 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
924 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
927 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
929 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
930 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
931 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
932 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
933 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
934 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
936 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
938 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
940 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
941 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
942 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
944 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
945 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
946 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
947 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
948 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
949 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
952 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
953 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
954 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
955 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
956 of masquerading individually.
958 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
959 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
960 GECOS field delimiters.
962 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
964 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
965 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
966 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
967 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
968 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
969 and explaining the feature.
971 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
973 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
974 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
977 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
978 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
979 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
981 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
982 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
983 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
984 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
986 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
987 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
988 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
991 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
993 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
996 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
998 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1000 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1001 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1002 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1003 quotes embedded in them.
1005 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1007 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1008 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1009 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1010 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1011 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1012 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1013 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1016 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1017 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1018 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1019 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1020 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1022 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1024 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1026 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1027 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1028 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1029 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1031 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1034 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1036 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1038 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1040 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1041 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1042 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1044 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1047 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1049 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1050 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1051 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1052 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1053 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1054 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1056 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1057 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1059 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1061 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1064 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1066 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1067 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1068 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1071 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1072 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1073 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1074 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1075 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1076 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1077 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1078 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1079 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1080 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1081 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1082 processing that post has).
1084 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1086 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1087 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1088 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1089 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1090 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1091 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1094 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1096 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1098 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1100 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1102 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1103 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1105 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1108 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1110 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1111 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1112 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1115 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1117 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1118 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1119 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1120 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1121 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1122 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1124 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1126 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1128 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1130 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1131 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1132 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1133 caught again. This works for now.
1135 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1137 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1139 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1140 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1142 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1144 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1145 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1147 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1149 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1151 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1153 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1154 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1156 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1158 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1159 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1160 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1161 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1162 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1165 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1167 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1168 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1169 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1171 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1172 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1175 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1177 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1178 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1179 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1181 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1183 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1184 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1186 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1188 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1191 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1192 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1194 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1195 macros, regardless of platform.
1197 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1198 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1200 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1201 with x-conversions=gzip.
1203 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1205 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1208 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1209 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1210 implicit definition of ioctl().
1212 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1213 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1214 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1215 want to mess with them.
1217 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1219 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1220 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1222 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1223 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1225 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1226 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1227 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1229 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1230 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1231 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1233 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1234 function initgroups.
1236 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1239 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1240 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1243 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1244 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1247 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1248 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1252 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1254 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1255 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1256 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1258 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1259 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1261 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1263 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1265 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1266 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1267 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1268 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1270 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1271 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1273 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1275 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1277 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1279 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1280 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1282 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1284 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1285 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1287 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1288 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1289 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1290 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1292 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1293 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1295 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1297 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1298 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1300 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1302 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1303 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1306 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1308 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1310 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1312 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1313 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1315 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1316 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1317 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1319 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1320 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1321 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1323 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1324 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1325 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1327 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1328 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1331 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1332 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1334 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1335 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1337 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1338 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1340 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1341 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1342 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1344 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1345 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1347 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1348 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1349 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1351 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1352 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1355 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1356 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1358 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1359 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1360 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1361 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1363 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1364 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1366 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1370 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1371 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1372 would not be changed.
1374 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1375 one from the Apache web server.
1377 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1378 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1380 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1381 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1382 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1384 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1386 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1388 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1389 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1392 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1393 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1394 removes a bad race condition.
1396 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1399 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1400 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1401 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1403 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1404 sequence information.
1406 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1407 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1409 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1412 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1415 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1417 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1418 interpret 034 as octal.
1420 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1422 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1423 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1425 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1426 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1428 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1429 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1431 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1432 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1434 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1435 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1437 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1438 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1439 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1441 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1442 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1443 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1445 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1447 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1449 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1450 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1453 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1455 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1456 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1458 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1459 header field information.
1461 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1462 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1464 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1465 values when parsing a content.
1467 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1468 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1470 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1471 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1473 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1474 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1476 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1477 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1479 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1481 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1483 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1485 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1487 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1488 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1491 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1492 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1494 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1495 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1496 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1497 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1498 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1499 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1502 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1504 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1505 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1506 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1508 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1509 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1511 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1513 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1514 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1515 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1516 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1518 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1519 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1522 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1523 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1524 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1525 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1528 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1530 * Released nmh-0.27.
1532 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1533 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1535 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1536 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1537 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1538 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1541 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1542 mhbuild returns an error.
1544 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1545 rename the draft file.
1547 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1548 use a global variable.
1550 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1551 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1553 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1554 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1556 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1557 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1558 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1560 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1561 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1563 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1564 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1567 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1568 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1571 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1572 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1574 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1575 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1576 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1578 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1579 to new function output_content_folder.
1581 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1582 new function output_content_file.
1584 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1585 to new function parse_format_string.
1587 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1588 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1589 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1590 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1592 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1593 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1594 message/external file from ftp.
1596 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1597 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1598 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1600 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1601 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1604 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1607 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1608 new file mhstoresbr.c
1610 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1613 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1614 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1616 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1617 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1619 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1620 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1621 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1623 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1625 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1627 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1628 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1631 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1632 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1634 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1637 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1639 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1641 * Released nmh-0.26.
1643 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1644 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1645 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1646 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1648 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1649 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1650 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1651 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1652 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1654 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1655 But it is not on by default.
1657 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1658 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1660 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1662 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1664 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1666 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1668 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1669 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1671 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1673 * Released nmh-0.25.
1675 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1676 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1677 uses the original name of the library.
1679 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1680 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1683 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1684 list_content and list_debug.
1686 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1688 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1689 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1691 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1693 * Released nmh-0.24.
1695 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1697 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1698 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1700 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1701 large sequence line.
1703 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1705 * Released nmh-0.23.
1707 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1709 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1710 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1711 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1712 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1714 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1715 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1718 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1720 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1722 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1724 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1725 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1727 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1728 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1730 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1731 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1733 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1734 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1736 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1738 * Released nmh-0.22.
1740 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1741 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1743 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1745 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1746 mh-profile(5) man page.
1748 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1749 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1751 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1753 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1755 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1756 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1758 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1760 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1761 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1762 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1764 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1765 source message on the standard input.
1767 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1769 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1770 rather than -rfc934mode.
1772 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1773 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1776 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1777 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1779 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1782 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1784 * Released nmh-0.21.
1786 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1787 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1789 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1792 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1793 to use for text contents.
1795 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1797 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1799 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1801 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1803 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1804 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1806 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1807 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1808 spaces between encoded word are.
1810 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1812 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1813 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1815 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1816 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1817 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1819 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1821 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1822 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1824 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1826 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1828 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1829 ISO-8859-X character set.
1831 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1834 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1835 permissions, not write permissions.
1837 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1838 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1840 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1843 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1845 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1847 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1848 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1850 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1851 message contains valid character set.
1853 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1854 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1856 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1857 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1859 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1860 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1861 between an encoded word and normal text.
1863 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1864 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1866 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1867 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1869 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1872 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1873 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1876 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1877 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1879 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1880 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1882 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1884 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1886 * Released nmh-0.20.
1888 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1890 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1892 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1893 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1894 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1896 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1897 and the To: line was missing.
1899 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1901 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1903 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1905 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1906 watch the POP transaction.
1908 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1909 first, and use it if available.
1911 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1912 first, and use it if available.
1914 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1916 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1918 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1919 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1920 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1923 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1924 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1925 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1927 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1928 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1931 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1933 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1934 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1936 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1938 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1939 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1941 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1942 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1943 message to which you are replying.
1945 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1946 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1947 making group replies.
1949 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1951 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1953 * Released nmh-0.19.
1955 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1956 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1958 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1959 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1960 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1961 to the end of the man page.
1963 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1964 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1965 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1966 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1967 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1968 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1970 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1973 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1974 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1975 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1977 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1978 the next available number above the message number you wish
1981 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1982 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1984 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1985 file sbr/seq_print.c
1987 * flist will now update the current folder.
1989 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1990 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1991 but now undocumented.
1993 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1996 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1997 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1999 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2001 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2002 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2004 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2006 * Released nmh-0.18.
2008 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2009 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2010 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2012 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2013 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2015 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2016 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2017 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2018 previous public/private status.
2020 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2023 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2026 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2027 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2028 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2030 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2031 take option to determine whether it should get current
2032 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2033 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2035 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2037 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2038 wait for stopped processes.
2040 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2041 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2043 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2045 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2047 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2048 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2050 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2051 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2053 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2054 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2055 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2056 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2058 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2061 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2064 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2066 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2067 the debugging output.
2069 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2070 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2072 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2074 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2076 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2077 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2079 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2081 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2082 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2083 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2084 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2085 in the given sequence.
2087 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2088 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2089 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2090 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2091 subdirectories of a given directory.
2093 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2094 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2095 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2097 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2098 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2100 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2102 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2105 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2106 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2107 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2109 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2110 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2111 are calculated at runtime.
2113 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2115 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2117 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2118 about checking for global mh.profile.
2120 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2121 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2122 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2123 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2124 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2125 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2127 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2128 adding message to folder itself.
2130 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2131 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2132 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2135 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2136 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2139 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2140 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2141 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2143 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2144 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2146 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2147 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2148 code to use it yet).
2150 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2152 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2154 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2155 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2157 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2158 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2160 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2162 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2165 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2167 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2169 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2171 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2173 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2174 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2176 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2178 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2180 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2182 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2184 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2186 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2187 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2189 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2190 configuration files.
2192 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2194 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2196 * Released nmh-0.17.
2198 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2200 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2201 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2203 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2206 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2207 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2209 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2210 number of refiled message.
2212 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2214 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2215 for return value of wait().
2217 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2219 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2221 * Released nmh-0.16.
2223 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2225 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2227 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2228 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2229 deal with binary messages, yet).
2231 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2233 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2235 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2236 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2237 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2238 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2239 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2240 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2242 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2243 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2245 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2246 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2248 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2249 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2252 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2254 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2256 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2257 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2260 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2263 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2265 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2266 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2267 which used unsigned chars by default.
2269 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2271 * Released nmh-0.15.
2273 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2274 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
2276 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2278 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2280 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2283 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2284 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2285 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2287 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2288 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2290 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2292 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2293 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2295 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2296 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2297 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2298 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2300 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2301 and put in own subroutine.
2303 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,

2318 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2319 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2321 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2324 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before

2339 selected messages to a sequence.
2341 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2344 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2393 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2396 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2397 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2399 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2401 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2402 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2404 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2406 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2435 will suppress the display of the message header.
2437 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2439 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c

2456 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2458 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2459 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2461 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2462 defined even if message is missing "From " line.

2524 * Released nmh-0.08.
2526 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2527 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of

2535 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2538 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2539 rather than mmdf format.
2541 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2542 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2543 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2544 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2546 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2548 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2550 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2553 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2554 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2555 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2557 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2558 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2559 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2561 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2563 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2564 can still easily change this in config.h).
2566 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2567 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2568 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2570 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2572 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

2587 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2589 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2590 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2593 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2594 built-in FTP client in mhn.

2607 * Released nmh-0.06.
2609 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2610 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2612 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2613 many such machines around anymore.
2615 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2616 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2618 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2619 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2621 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2623 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2624 pre-generated version if necessary.
2626 * Released nmh-0.05.
2628 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2629 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2630 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2631 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2633 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2634 be linked in one pass.
2636 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2638 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2639 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2641 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2643 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2645 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2647 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2648 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2649 become the current folder.
2651 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2653 * Released nmh-0.04.

2658 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2660 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2661 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2662 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2664 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2666 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2667 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2669 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2671 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2672 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2675 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2676 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2678 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2680 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2681 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2682 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2683 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2684 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2685 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2687 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2689 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2690 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2692 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2693 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2695 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2697 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2698 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2700 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2702 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2703 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2704 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2706 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2708 * Released nmh-0.03.
2710 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2711 .mh_sequence file existed.
2713 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2714 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2716 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2717 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2720 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2722 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2725 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2727 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2728 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2729 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2731 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2733 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2734 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2735 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2737 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2739 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2740 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2742 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2744 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2746 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2747 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2748 directory from where the source code is located.
2750 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2752 * Released nmh-0.02.

2772 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2773 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2774 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2775 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2776 rather than in script.
2778 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2780 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2782 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2783 macro defined on Solaris.

2787 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2788 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2790 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2791 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2792 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2793 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2796 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2798 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2799 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2801 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2804 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2806 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2808 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2809 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2811 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2813 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2814 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2816 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2818 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2819 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2820 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2821 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2822 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2823 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2825 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2827 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2829 * Released nmh-0.01.
2831 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2832 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2833 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2836 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2838 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2841 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2843 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2844 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2846 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2848 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2849 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2850 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2851 script to find_program.
2853 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2855 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2856 speed up -recurse option.
2858 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2859 yet, but it compiles :-)
2861 * Changed default location for install to
2862 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2863 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2864 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2867 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2868 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2869 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
