 1.27  29-Apr-2012  christos set close on exec for all opened files.
 1.26  12-Jan-2010  christos branches: 1.26.6;
- 1 -> EXIT_FAILURE
- preallocate child struct, since the signal handler can be called before
wait_child, and we cannot allocate a child struct there. there is a signal
race still here if the program exits and the signal handler is called before
we allocate the struct.
 1.25  10-Apr-2009  christos From Anon Ymous:

- Remove all longjmp(3) calls from signal handlers. Instead, we post
to an internal signal queue and check that periodically. All signal
related code is now in sig.c, except for the SIGCHLD handler which
remains in popen.c as it is intimately tied to routines there.

- Handle SIGPIPE in type1() regardless of mime support, or else the
handler in execute() will prevent our error code from being returned
resulting in 'sawcom' not being set on the first command as it should.
This only affected the initial behavior of the "next" command without
mime support.

- Add the 'T' flag to many commands in cmdtab.c that should not look
like the first command. E.g., start mail on a mailbox with multiple
messages, run "set foo", then "next", and watch the second message get
displayed rather than the first as is the case without the first "set"
command.

- Add file descriptor and file handle leak detection. Enabled by
DEBUG_FILE_LEAK. This will likely disappear in the future.

- Fix a long standing (since import in 1993) longjmp() bug in
edstop(): the jmpbuf was invalid when quit() is called at the end of
main.

- Fix a long standing bug (since import in 1993) in snarf() where it
didn't strip whitespace correctly if the line consisted only of
whitespace.

- Lint cleanup.

- New Feature: "Header" command. This allows miscellaneous header
fields to be added to the header, e.g., "X-Organization:" or
"Reply-To:" fields.

- New Feature: "page-also" variable. This allows the specification of
additional commands to page. It is more flexible than "crt".

- Document the "pager-off" variable: if set, it disables paging
entirely.
 1.24  30-Oct-2007  christos branches: 1.24.14;
From Anon Ymous:

- Add a "forward" command as requested by garbled@.
From the manpage:

forward
Takes a list of messages and prompts for an address (or
addresses) to forward each message to. If no message list is
specified, the current message is used. The mail editor is run
for each message allowing the user to enter a message that will
precede the forward message. The message is sent as a multi-
part/mixed MIME encoded message.

- Add the ability to match messages that do (or do not) contain a
header field. E.g., the command "f ! /Subject:" will display the
list of messages that are missing a "Subject" field.

- Teach savemail() to prefix fake headlines so the mbox doesn't get
broken.

- Fixed a couple of "bugs" in the attachment editing routine.
 1.23  29-Oct-2007  christos From Anon Ymous:
knf changes:
- s/sizeof x/sizeof(x)/.
- remove unnecessary malloc typecasts.
- whitespace nits.
 1.22  28-Nov-2006  christos branches: 1.22.8;
From Anon Ymous:

1) Statification of modules.

2) Implement the 'detach' and 'Detach' commands for extracting mime
parts from messages.

3) Teach mail to output "In-Reply-To" and "References" header fields
when replying so others can thread us.

4) Implement threading, sorting, and tagging, supported by the
following commands: 'flatten', 'reverse', 'sort', 'thread',
'unthread', 'down', 'tset', 'up', 'expose', 'hide', 'tag',
'untag', 'invtags', 'tagbelow', 'hidetags', 'showtags'.
See the manpage for details (when available - soon).

5) Implement a 'deldups' command to delete duplicate messages based on
their "Message-Id" field, e.g., in replies to a mailing list that
are also CCed to a subscriber. (This can also be accomplished with
the threading and tagging commands.)

6) Implement 'ifdef' and 'ifndef' commands, and make the conditionals
nestable (i.e., implement a conditional stack). The if/else/endif
commands existed before, but they were primitive and undocumented.
The 'if' command currently recognizes the "receiving", "sending",
and "headersonly" mode keywords.

7) Teach the message selecting routine to understand regular
expressions if "regex-search" is defined. Otherwise only case
insensitive substring matches are done (as in the past).

8) Teach the message selection routine to understand boolean
expressions. Improved "colon-modifier" support. See the manpage
for details (when available - soon).

9) Extend paging to all commands (where relevant).

10) Add shell like piping and redirection of (standard) output (if
"enable-piping" is defined). Extend completion to these contexts.

11) The manpage should follow soon!!!!
 1.21  31-Oct-2006  christos More fixes from Anon Ymous:


1) Removed the -B flag (it was stupid on my part) and added a short
description indicating how to accomplish the same thing under the
"Sending Mail" section of man mail(1).

2) Added a -H flag to dump the headers and exit. It takes optional
flags to restrict to old, new, read, unread, and deleted messages
(the later being kind of useless - it shares code with something
that already had it).

3) Restored the 'Save' command which somehow got mistakenly removed in
the last commit and add documentation for it! (My apologies to
its author.)

4) Added a 'mkread' command to mark messages as read (the inverse of
'unread'). Should we also have a 'mknew' command?

5) Added a 'smopts' command to keep a database of addresses and
sendmail options to be used when sending messages to those
addresses. See man mail(1) for a fuller description.

6) Added 'indentpreamble' and 'indentpostscript' variables whose
values are inserted before and after a quoted message (~m or ~M
escapes).
=20
7) Added string formatting abilities for the 'prompt', 'insertpreamble',
'insertpostscript', and header display strings. These strings
support all the strftime() format parameters as well as many more
specific to mail (see man mail(1)).

8) Fix the -a flag so that it only takes a single filename, unless
"mime-attach-list" is defined. This is more conventional and avoids
unexpected whitespace issues.
 1.20  21-Oct-2006  christos From our anonymous user:
- mime and character set handling
- command line editor and completion
- many code improvements
 1.19  19-Jul-2005  christos Pass lint completely.
 1.18  19-Jul-2005  christos WARNS=3
 1.17  07-Aug-2003  agc Move UCB-licensed code from 4-clause to 3-clause licence.

Patches provided by Joel Baker in PR 22365, verified by myself.
 1.16  29-Mar-2003  christos bring in fixes from OpenBSD:
- use varargs properly.
- pid_t
- better handling of error conditions on forked jobs.
 1.15  29-Mar-2003  perry Fix a bug introduced by Christos Zoulas in version 1.4.
He accidently moved the call to block the SIGCHLD to the wrong side of
the call to findchild().
Caused a coredump in one in every N thousand invocations of mail,
which I have been hunting for literally years.
Fixes PR 19696 from Mason Loring Bliss, too.

By the way, this is a prime example of why declarations of the form

struct foo *p = funcall();

are pure liquid evil.
