1 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
3 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
4 find sub-parts of the specified part
6 2003-9-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
7 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
9 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
11 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
14 136976 - Handle binary content messages
15 143427 - mh-format.man typo
16 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
17 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
18 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
19 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
20 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
21 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
22 181867 - typo for nmh.man
24 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
26 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
27 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
28 contitional code which will result in cached data to
29 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
30 and parse on the first use.
31 * Remove some unused flag bits.
33 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
35 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
36 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
38 #578 - repl leaks umask
39 #1393 - sortm core dumps
40 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
41 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
42 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
44 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
45 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
47 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
49 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
50 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
52 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
54 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
55 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
58 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
60 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
62 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
63 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
64 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
65 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
68 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
70 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
71 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
72 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
73 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
74 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
75 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
78 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
79 summary configure prints out.
81 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
82 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
83 subjectively more readable) format.
85 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
87 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
90 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
92 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
93 19xx when it's not necessary.
95 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
97 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
98 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
101 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
102 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
103 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
104 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
105 the man pages correctly.
107 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
109 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
111 * Finished manpages ali-prev
113 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
114 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
115 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
118 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
119 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
120 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
121 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
123 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
125 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
126 the formatting rules I've been using.
130 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
132 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
133 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
134 used in the manpages.
136 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
137 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
138 read in the contents of the file as the variable
141 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
142 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
143 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
144 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
145 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
146 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
147 bold flags and italicized parameters.
149 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
151 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
152 --with-locking option.
154 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
155 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
156 information was not being communicated to the
157 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
158 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
159 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
160 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
161 undefined symbols problems.
163 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
164 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
165 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
166 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
167 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
168 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
169 for a genuine krb4 installation.
171 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
173 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
174 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
176 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
178 * Made a new ./configure option called
179 "--with-locking" that allows the file
180 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
181 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
183 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
184 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
185 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
186 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
187 the user that these are the valid options, and
188 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
191 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
193 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
194 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
195 committed to supporting flex only, since
196 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
197 string, as well as other problems documented
198 below and on nmh-workers.
200 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
201 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
202 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
205 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
206 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
208 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
210 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
211 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
212 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
214 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
216 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
217 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
219 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
221 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
222 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
223 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
224 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
225 couldn't correctly identify them.
227 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
229 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
230 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
231 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
232 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
233 not depending on an external archive.
235 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
236 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
237 mts/generic is no longer built.
239 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
241 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
242 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
243 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
244 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
245 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
246 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
247 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
248 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
250 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
252 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
253 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
256 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
258 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
259 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
260 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
263 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
264 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
265 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
266 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
268 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
269 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
270 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
271 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
272 merged into the smtp code).
274 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
275 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
276 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
279 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
280 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
281 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
282 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
283 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
284 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
285 in the appropriate Makefile.in
287 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
289 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
290 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
291 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
292 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
293 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
294 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
295 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
296 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
297 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
298 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
299 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
301 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
303 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
304 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
305 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
306 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
307 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
308 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
309 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
310 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
311 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
313 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
315 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
316 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
319 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
321 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
322 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
324 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
326 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
327 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
328 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
329 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
331 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
333 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
334 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
335 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
336 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
337 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
339 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
340 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
342 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
344 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
346 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
347 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
348 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
349 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
351 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
352 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
353 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
354 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
356 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
357 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
358 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
359 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
361 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
362 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
363 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
365 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
367 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
368 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
369 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
370 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
371 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
372 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
375 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
376 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
378 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
379 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
381 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
383 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
385 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
387 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
388 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
389 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
390 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
392 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
394 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
395 be easily changed from "," to "#".
397 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
399 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
401 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
402 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
405 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
407 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
408 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
409 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
410 but not for the subsequent data stream.
412 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
414 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
415 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
416 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
417 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
418 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
420 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
422 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
423 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
425 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
426 cat, also define lorder as echo.
428 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
430 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
432 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
433 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
434 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
436 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
438 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
441 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
442 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
444 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
446 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
447 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
449 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
451 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
452 inc does not need to be setgid.
454 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
456 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
457 library, as found on Debian systems.
459 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
461 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
463 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
464 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
465 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
466 case-insensitivity flag.
468 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
470 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
471 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
473 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
475 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
476 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
477 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
478 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
479 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
480 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
481 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
482 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
483 getting moved aside).
485 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
486 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
488 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
490 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
491 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
492 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
493 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
494 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
495 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
496 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
497 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
498 the prototype, but never sets it.
500 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
501 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
502 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
503 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
504 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
505 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
507 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
508 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
509 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
510 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
511 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
513 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
515 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
516 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
519 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
520 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
521 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
522 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
523 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
524 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
525 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
527 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
529 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
531 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
532 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
533 this works on other systems.
535 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
537 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
538 checks for write failures.
540 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
542 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
544 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
547 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
549 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
551 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
553 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
554 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
557 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
559 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
560 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
561 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
562 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
564 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
566 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
567 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
570 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
571 as well as Makefiles.
573 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
575 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
576 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
577 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
578 should make maintainability easier.
580 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
581 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
582 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
583 whatever you know works.
585 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
587 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
588 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
589 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
591 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
592 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
593 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
594 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
596 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
597 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
598 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
600 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
601 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
602 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
603 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
604 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
606 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
607 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
608 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
609 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
610 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
611 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
612 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
613 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
614 from the BSD version.
616 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
617 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
618 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
620 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
623 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
626 This happens on solaris:
629 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
630 No manual entry for mts.conf.
634 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
636 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
637 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
639 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
641 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
642 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
643 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
644 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
645 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
646 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
647 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
648 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
649 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
650 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
651 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
653 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
654 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
655 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
656 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
657 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
658 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
661 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
662 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
663 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
664 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
665 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
667 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
668 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
670 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
672 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
673 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
674 to stdin, such as exmh.
676 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
677 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
678 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
681 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
683 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
684 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
685 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
686 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
687 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
688 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
689 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
691 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
693 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
694 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
696 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
698 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
699 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
701 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
703 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
706 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
707 along with any -host or -user option.
709 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
711 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
713 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
714 process was fresh in my mind.
716 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
718 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
719 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
721 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
723 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
725 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
728 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
729 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
730 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
731 part of the program's name.
733 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
734 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
737 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
739 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
740 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
741 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
742 single-character format would cause programs using this
743 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
744 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
745 when the format string was one character. This eventually
746 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
749 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
751 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
752 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
753 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
754 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
755 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
756 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
758 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
759 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
760 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
761 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
762 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
763 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
764 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
765 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
767 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
768 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
769 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
770 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
771 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
772 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
773 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
774 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
775 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
776 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
778 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
780 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
781 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
783 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
784 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
786 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
791 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
793 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
794 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
795 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
796 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
798 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
799 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
800 problem in the routine.
802 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
804 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
805 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
807 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
808 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
809 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
812 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
814 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
815 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
816 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
817 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
818 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
819 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
820 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
821 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
822 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
823 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
825 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
827 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
828 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
829 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
830 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
831 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
832 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
833 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
834 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
835 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
836 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
837 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
838 interesting than a duplication of the default.
840 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
841 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
842 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
843 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
844 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
846 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
849 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
851 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
852 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
853 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
854 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
857 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
859 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
861 * Applied, after some finessing,
862 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
864 Here's a patch that allows you to add
866 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
868 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
869 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
870 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
871 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
873 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
875 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
876 forgetting to do so!).
878 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
879 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
880 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
881 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
882 arguments to enable all three types.
884 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
885 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
887 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
888 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
889 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
890 updated copy of mts.conf.
892 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
894 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
895 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
896 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
898 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
900 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
902 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
903 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
904 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
906 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
907 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
908 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
910 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
911 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
912 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
914 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
916 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
918 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
920 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
922 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
923 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
925 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
926 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
927 certain suffix to run properly.
929 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
930 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
931 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
933 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
934 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
935 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
936 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
937 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
938 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
939 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
941 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
943 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
944 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
945 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
946 until some year far in the future).
948 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
950 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
952 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
953 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
955 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
956 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
959 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
961 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
962 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
963 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
964 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
965 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
966 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
968 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
970 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
972 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
973 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
974 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
976 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
977 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
978 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
979 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
980 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
981 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
984 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
985 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
986 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
987 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
988 of masquerading individually.
990 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
991 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
992 GECOS field delimiters.
994 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
996 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
997 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
998 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
999 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1000 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1001 and explaining the feature.
1003 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1005 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1006 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1009 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1010 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1011 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1013 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1014 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1015 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1016 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1018 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1019 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1020 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1023 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1025 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1026 code to be executed.
1028 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1030 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1032 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1033 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1034 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1035 quotes embedded in them.
1037 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1039 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1040 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1041 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1042 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1043 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1044 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1045 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1048 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1049 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1050 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1051 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1052 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1054 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1056 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1058 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1059 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1060 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1061 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1063 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1066 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1068 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1070 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1072 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1073 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1074 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1076 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1079 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1081 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1082 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1083 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1084 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1085 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1086 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1088 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1089 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1091 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1093 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1096 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1098 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1099 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1100 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1103 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1104 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1105 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1106 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1107 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1108 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1109 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1110 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1111 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1112 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1113 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1114 processing that post has).
1116 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1118 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1119 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1120 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1121 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1122 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1123 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1126 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1128 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1130 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1132 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1134 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1135 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1137 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1140 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1142 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1143 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1144 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1147 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1149 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1150 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1151 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1152 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1153 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1154 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1156 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1158 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1160 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1162 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1163 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1164 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1165 caught again. This works for now.
1167 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1169 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1171 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1172 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1174 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1176 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1177 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1179 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1181 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1183 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1185 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1186 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1188 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1190 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1191 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1192 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1193 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1194 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1197 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1199 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1200 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1201 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1203 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1204 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1207 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1209 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1210 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1211 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1213 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1215 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1216 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1218 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1220 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1223 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1224 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1226 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1227 macros, regardless of platform.
1229 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1230 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1232 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1233 with x-conversions=gzip.
1235 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1237 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1240 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1241 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1242 implicit definition of ioctl().
1244 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1245 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1246 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1247 want to mess with them.
1249 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1251 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1252 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1254 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1255 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1257 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1258 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1259 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1261 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1262 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1263 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1265 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1266 function initgroups.
1268 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1271 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1272 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1275 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1276 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1279 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1280 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1284 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1286 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1287 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1288 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1290 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1291 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1293 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1295 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1297 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1298 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1299 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1300 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1302 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1303 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1305 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1307 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1309 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1311 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1312 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1314 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1316 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1317 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1319 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1320 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1321 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1322 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1324 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1325 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1327 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1329 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1330 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1332 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1334 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1335 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1338 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1340 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1342 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1344 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1345 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1347 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1348 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1349 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1351 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1352 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1353 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1355 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1356 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1357 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1359 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1360 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1363 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1364 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1366 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1367 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1369 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1370 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1372 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1373 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1374 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1376 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1377 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1379 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1380 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1381 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1383 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1384 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1387 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1388 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1390 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1391 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1392 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1393 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1395 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1396 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1398 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1402 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1403 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1404 would not be changed.
1406 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1407 one from the Apache web server.
1409 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1410 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1412 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1413 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1414 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1416 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1418 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1420 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1421 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1424 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1425 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1426 removes a bad race condition.
1428 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1431 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1432 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1433 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1435 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1436 sequence information.
1438 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1439 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1441 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1444 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1447 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1449 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1450 interpret 034 as octal.
1452 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1454 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1455 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1457 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1458 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1460 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1461 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1463 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1464 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1466 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1467 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1469 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1470 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1471 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1473 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1474 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1475 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1477 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1479 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1481 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1482 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1485 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1487 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1488 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1490 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1491 header field information.
1493 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1494 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1496 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1497 values when parsing a content.
1499 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1500 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1502 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1503 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1505 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1506 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1508 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1509 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1511 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1513 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1515 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1517 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1519 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1520 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1523 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1524 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1526 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1527 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1528 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1529 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1530 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1531 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1534 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1536 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1537 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1538 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1540 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1541 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1543 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1545 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1546 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1547 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1548 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1550 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1551 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1554 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1555 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1556 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1557 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1560 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1562 * Released nmh-0.27.
1564 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1565 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1567 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1568 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1569 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1570 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1573 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1574 mhbuild returns an error.
1576 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1577 rename the draft file.
1579 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1580 use a global variable.
1582 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1583 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1585 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1586 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1588 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1589 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1590 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1592 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1593 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1595 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1596 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1599 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1600 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1603 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1604 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1606 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1607 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1608 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1610 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1611 to new function output_content_folder.
1613 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1614 new function output_content_file.
1616 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1617 to new function parse_format_string.
1619 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1620 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1621 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1622 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1624 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1625 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1626 message/external file from ftp.
1628 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1629 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1630 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1632 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1633 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1636 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1639 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1640 new file mhstoresbr.c
1642 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1645 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1646 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1648 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1649 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1651 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1652 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1653 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1655 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1657 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1659 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1660 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1663 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1664 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1666 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1669 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1671 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1673 * Released nmh-0.26.
1675 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1676 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1677 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1678 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1680 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1681 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1682 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1683 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1684 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1686 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1687 But it is not on by default.
1689 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1690 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1692 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1694 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1696 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1698 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1700 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1701 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1703 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1705 * Released nmh-0.25.
1707 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1708 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1709 uses the original name of the library.
1711 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1712 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1715 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1716 list_content and list_debug.
1718 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1720 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1721 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1723 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1725 * Released nmh-0.24.
1727 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1729 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1730 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1732 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1733 large sequence line.
1735 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1737 * Released nmh-0.23.
1739 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1741 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1742 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1743 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1744 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1746 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1747 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1750 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1752 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1754 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1756 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1757 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1759 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1760 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1762 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1763 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1765 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1766 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1768 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1770 * Released nmh-0.22.
1772 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1773 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1775 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1777 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1778 mh-profile(5) man page.
1780 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1781 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1783 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1785 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1787 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1788 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1790 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1792 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1793 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1794 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1796 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1797 source message on the standard input.
1799 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1801 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1802 rather than -rfc934mode.
1804 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1805 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1808 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1809 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1811 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1814 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1816 * Released nmh-0.21.
1818 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1819 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1821 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1824 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1825 to use for text contents.
1827 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1829 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1831 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1833 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1835 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1836 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1838 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1839 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1840 spaces between encoded word are.
1842 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1844 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1845 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1847 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1848 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1849 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1851 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1853 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1854 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1856 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1858 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1860 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1861 ISO-8859-X character set.
1863 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1866 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1867 permissions, not write permissions.
1869 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1870 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1872 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1875 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1877 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1879 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1880 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1882 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1883 message contains valid character set.
1885 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1886 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1888 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1889 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1891 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1892 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1893 between an encoded word and normal text.
1895 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1896 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1898 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1899 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1901 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1904 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1905 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1908 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1909 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1911 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1912 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1914 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1916 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1918 * Released nmh-0.20.
1920 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1922 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1924 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1925 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1926 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1928 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1929 and the To: line was missing.
1931 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1933 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1935 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1937 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1938 watch the POP transaction.
1940 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1941 first, and use it if available.
1943 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1944 first, and use it if available.
1946 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1948 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1950 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1951 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1952 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1955 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1956 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1957 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1959 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1960 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1963 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1965 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1966 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1968 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1970 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1971 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1973 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1974 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1975 message to which you are replying.
1977 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1978 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1979 making group replies.
1981 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1983 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1985 * Released nmh-0.19.
1987 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1988 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1990 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1991 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1992 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1993 to the end of the man page.
1995 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1996 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1997 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1998 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1999 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2000 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2002 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2005 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2006 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2007 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2009 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2010 the next available number above the message number you wish
2013 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2014 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2016 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2017 file sbr/seq_print.c
2019 * flist will now update the current folder.
2021 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2022 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2023 but now undocumented.
2025 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2028 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2029 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2031 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2033 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2034 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2036 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2038 * Released nmh-0.18.
2040 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2041 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2042 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2044 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2045 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2047 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2048 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2049 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2050 previous public/private status.
2052 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2055 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2058 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2059 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2060 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2062 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2063 take option to determine whether it should get current
2064 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2065 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2067 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2069 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2070 wait for stopped processes.
2072 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2073 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2075 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2077 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2079 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2080 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2082 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2083 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2085 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2086 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2087 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2088 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2090 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2093 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2096 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2098 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2099 the debugging output.
2101 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2102 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2104 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2106 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2108 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2109 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2111 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2113 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2114 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2115 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2116 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2117 in the given sequence.
2119 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2120 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2121 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2122 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2123 subdirectories of a given directory.
2125 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2126 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2127 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2129 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2130 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2132 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2134 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2137 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2138 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2139 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2141 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2142 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2143 are calculated at runtime.
2145 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2147 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2149 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2150 about checking for global mh.profile.
2152 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2153 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2154 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2155 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2156 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2157 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2159 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2160 adding message to folder itself.
2162 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2163 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2164 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2167 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2168 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2171 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2172 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2173 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2175 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2176 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2178 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2179 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2180 code to use it yet).
2182 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2184 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2186 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2187 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2189 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2190 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2192 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2194 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2197 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2199 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2201 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2203 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2205 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2206 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2208 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2210 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2212 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2214 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2216 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2218 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2219 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2221 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2222 configuration files.
2224 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2226 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2228 * Released nmh-0.17.
2230 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2232 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2233 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2235 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2238 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2239 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2241 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2242 number of refiled message.
2244 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2246 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2247 for return value of wait().
2249 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2251 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2253 * Released nmh-0.16.
2255 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2257 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2259 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2260 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2261 deal with binary messages, yet).
2263 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2265 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2267 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2268 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2269 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2270 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2271 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2272 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2274 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2275 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2277 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2278 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2280 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2281 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2284 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2286 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".

2295 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2297 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2298 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2299 which used unsigned chars by default.

2316 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2317 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2319 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2320 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2322 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2324 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2325 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2327 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2328 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2329 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2330 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2332 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2333 and put in own subroutine.
2335 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2336 and put in own subroutine.

2371 selected messages to a sequence.
2373 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2376 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2378 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2379 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2381 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2383 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2420 * Released nmh-0.13.
2422 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2423 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2424 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2425 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2428 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2429 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2431 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2433 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2434 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2436 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2438 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2467 will suppress the display of the message header.
2469 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2471 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2472 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2474 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2476 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2478 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h

2481 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2483 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2484 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2486 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2488 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2490 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2491 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2493 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2494 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2496 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2498 * Released nmh-0.10.

2508 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2510 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2511 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2513 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

2516 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2518 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2519 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2521 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2523 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
2524 of missing tabs in regex.

2551 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2553 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2554 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2556 * Released nmh-0.08.
2558 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2559 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2560 locking database itself.

2564 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2566 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2567 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2570 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2571 rather than mmdf format.
2573 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2574 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2575 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2576 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2578 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2580 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2582 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2585 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2586 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2587 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2589 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2590 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2591 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2593 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2595 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2596 can still easily change this in config.h).
2598 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2599 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2600 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2602 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2604 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

2618 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2619 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2621 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2622 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2625 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2626 built-in FTP client in mhn.

2639 * Released nmh-0.06.
2641 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2642 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2644 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2645 many such machines around anymore.
2647 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2648 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2650 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2651 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2653 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2655 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2656 pre-generated version if necessary.
2658 * Released nmh-0.05.
2660 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2661 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2662 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2663 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2665 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2666 be linked in one pass.
2668 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2670 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2671 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2673 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2675 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2677 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2679 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2680 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2681 become the current folder.
2683 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2685 * Released nmh-0.04.
2687 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2690 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2692 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2693 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2694 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2696 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2698 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2699 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2701 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2703 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2704 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2707 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2708 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2710 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2712 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2713 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2714 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2715 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2716 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2717 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2719 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2721 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2722 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2724 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2725 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2727 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2729 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2730 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2732 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2734 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2735 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2736 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2738 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2740 * Released nmh-0.03.
2742 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2743 .mh_sequence file existed.
2745 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2746 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2748 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2749 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2752 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2754 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2757 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2759 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2760 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2761 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2763 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2765 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2766 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2767 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2769 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2771 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2772 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2774 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2776 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2778 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2779 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2780 directory from where the source code is located.
2782 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2784 * Released nmh-0.02.

2794 and sys_nerr directly.
2796 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2798 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2800 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2802 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2804 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2805 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2806 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2807 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2808 rather than in script.
2810 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2812 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2814 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2815 macro defined on Solaris.

2819 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2820 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2822 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2823 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2824 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2825 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2828 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2830 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2831 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2833 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2836 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2838 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2840 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2841 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2843 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2845 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2846 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2848 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2850 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2851 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2852 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2853 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2854 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2855 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2857 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2859 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2861 * Released nmh-0.01.
2863 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2864 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2865 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2868 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2870 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2873 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2887 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2888 speed up -recurse option.
2890 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2891 yet, but it compiles :-)
2893 * Changed default location for install to
2894 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2895 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2896 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2899 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2900 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2901 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
