v14.9.18 ("It is spring time, what a bliss"), 2020-04-18
--------------------------------------------------------
Some bugfixes and tweaks that accumulated over the months.
Credits, in order of commit appearance: Jens Schleusener,
Noctambule, Kyle Evans.
It is courtesy to give a special credit to Coverity.com.
(<https://scan.coverity.com/projects/s-nail>, project 444.)
We welcome Noctambule and Kyle Evans in THANKS.
NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Warning: we _will_ have v15-compat=yes as a default in v14.10!
- Fix for `~f'#327, `~m'#333, `~Q'#335, `~U'#341 and `~u'#342:
no longer include all MIME parts (bug since at least v14.9.16).
- Fix for handling of "The Mailcap files"#36:
a single copiousoutput/x-mailx-tmpfile-fill|nametemplate
combination was falsely handled, mostly affecting binary file
formats (which got broken by applied character set conversion).
- Fix for automatic S/MIME encrypted key / certificate password
lookup: used $LOGNAME@[no hostname].smime-cert-key as
a fallback, instead of using the value of *from*#430.
(Noctambule)
- `~R'#337 and `~r'#338, as well as all prompts which expect
file names and did not yet do so, expect shell-quoted names.
(See "Shell-style argument quoting"#23.)
ChangeLog
^^^^^^^^^
- `~Q'#335 now acts as if *quote*#518 is set.
Does not really make sense otherwise.
- New environment variable $SOCKS5_PROXY#633 is tight together
with *socks-proxy*#567: setting the one affects the other.
This $SOCKS5_PROXY is introduced by FreeBSD to affect all
programs which are capable to proxy via SOCKS5 (it seems).

v14.9.17 ("To bind, or not to bind.."), 2020-02-02
--------------------------------------------------
A shadowed key bindings report on bash-bugs@ made me aware that
our `bind' code has never seen a real review, and not only were we
incapable too, but the code was a piece of shit, when i looked at
it. So please find here a bugfix release to smoothly end v14.9.
Credits, in order of commit appearance: Jens Schleusener,
Johannes Schöpfer, Russell Bell, and Koichi Murase.
It is courtesy to give a special credit to Coverity.com.
(<https://scan.coverity.com/projects/s-nail>, project 444.)
We welcome Koichi Murase in THANKS.
And now for something completely different.
NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- "make test" now works when run by root or on read-only
file-systems. (Johannes Schöpfer)
- Our `bind'#149 now supports overall key-sequence timeouts,
as opposed to inter-byte timeouts. For this i have obsoleted
*bind-timeout* in favour of *bind-inter-byte-timeout*#379
and *bind-inter-key-timeout*#380 (not set by default).
The bind tree code had two bugs, for one the "shortcut"
key-bindings would all have been created in the "base" context,
not where they really belong ("default" and "compose").
And due to false list relinking shadowed key bindings did not
work. (Koichi Murase)
When used with 3x*verbose*#? (aka -v#85) the bind tree
is now dumped when it has been build (once used first, and after
modifications. Putting all this together, a resource file
cat >/tmp/t.sh <<'__EOT'
MAILX=s-nail
cat >/tmp/t.rc <<'_EOT'
set line-editor-no-defaults
bind base $'\n' mle-commit
bind base $'\c?' mle-del-bwd
bind base $'\cT' echo one
bind base $'\cT',$'\cT' echo two
bind base abc echo 0
bind base ab,c echo 1
bind base abc,d echo 2
bind base ac,d echo 3
bind base a,b,c echo 4
bind base a,b,c,d echo 5
bind base a,b,cc,d echo 6
set quiet noheader
set bind-inter-key-timeout=2500
set bind-inter-byte-timeout=250
bind base a,b,c,d # now works, too!
_EOT
MAILRC=/tmp/t.rc $MAILX -R:u -Y 'set verbose=3'
rm -f /tmp/t.sh /tmp/t.rc
__EOT
sh /tmp/t.sh
will now do the expected.
- `Reply'#256: no longer honours *recipients-in-cc*#526
ChangeLog
^^^^^^^^^
- Manual: after review i think the following sections are of
acceptable quality: "On terminal control and line editor"#17,
"Coloured display"#18.
- *verbose*#605 is no longer a boolean but can be assigned
a numeric value. But "set verbose verbose verbose"
also still works.
- New variable *reply-to-swap-in*#534 tries to work around
the DKIM/DMARC "HUMAN via LIST <LIST@ADDRESS>" ugliness
when `reply'#258ing (or `Reply'#256ing) to such a message.
It tries to move the HUMAN into responsibility.

v14.9.16 ("Message of Winter, your hopes shall be crushed"), 2019-12-29
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
At the end of the v14.9 series we finally deliver the RFC 1524
mailcap support, as well as other improvements, and new features.
Many bugfixes and tests arrive.
A whole bunch of things are backward-incompatible, but i would
assume that most use cases are not at all affected.

NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Renamed *expandaddr*#415 namehostex to nametoaddr. (Better.)
- *tls-features*#593 string now starts and ends with comma.
(Just like *features*#418 does.)
- -L#71 longname --header-search renamed to --search.
- Config option OPT_FORCED_STACKPROT=xy now
OPT_AUTOCC_STACKPROT=y, and now auto-enabled for OPT_AUTOCC=y
(even though i hate that, protectors in shipout code..).
- `account'#140 return value now matters, and can thus be used to
abort account switching.
- -:#55 has new "x" mode, which executes the directives of the
compiled-in resource file. (The template content is now
compiled in too, so the real file does not need to be loaded.)
(Brian Evans)
- Quote etc. injections (*quote-inject-head*#523) now always
happen (if set), regardless of *quote*#518.
- We now truly honour POSIX command abbreviations (order).
As part of that i finally implemented a simple command lookup
speedup, these are now almost alphabetical (unless abbreviations
prevent it).
- Added *mta-bcc-ok*#480. Bummer. It seems exim and courier
do not remove Bcc: headers as required by standards unless
invoked with a special command line argument. So we now
do not pass Bcc: headers to file-based MTAs unless this
variable is set explicitly. (Kevin McCarthy).
- "COMMAND ESCAPES"#28 now have a $ command modifier, which
causes a shell-style `eval'#191uation before the command
escape is executed.
And so `~<'#314, `~R'#337 and `~r'#338 no longer expand $VAR
expressions by themselves.
And so -a#57, `~@'#317, and "attachment insert" of `~^'#319
and `digmsg'#174 only perform ~/-style expansions.
- `~^'#319: use shell-style argument expansion.
We handled `~^' and `digmsg' differently, but furthermore
turned the shell-parsed data of the latter into whitespace
separated data, which made it impossible to, for example,
use attachments with whitespace in their names.
This increases the interaction protocol version number of
*on-compose-splice*#490 from "0 0 1" to "0 0 2"!
Because, we do also quote the output, since using `read'
(or read(1)) causes *ifs*#443 ($IFS) normalization.
All that could be done would be (for ourselves):
define x {
set ifs=
read vany
unset ifs
vpospar set $vany
# And now assign the desired real fields
set real-var1=$1 real-var2=$2 ...
}
Sick! So instead introduce a `readsh'#251 command which works
like `read'#250 but splits fields at shell token boundaries,
for example from within *on-compose-splice*#490:
echo '~^h s subject'; read stat name; readsh sub; read i
There would be better examples. (Ralph Keller)
- `~F'#326, `~f'#327, `~M'#332, `~m'#333, `~U'#341 and `~u'#342 now
honour *forward-inject-head*#428 and *forward-inject-tail*#429.
- New option OPT_MAILCAP, by default enabled.
Disable at runtime via *mailcap-disable*#458, all documented
in "The Mailcap files"#36.
- OpenBSD: really auto-find number of processors in test script.
Work around fflush(3) not adapting POSIX behaviour.
- Manual: after review i think the following sections are of
acceptable quality: "Encrypted network communication"#13,
"A starter"#6, "On URL syntax and credential lookup"#12,
"The Mailcap files"#36, and
"But, how about XOAUTH2 / OAUTHBEARER?"#45.
The latter is actually (Stuart Henderson, Benjamin A. Wong),
and now provides a copy+paste example of how to keep a
OAUTHBEARER token up-to-date with S-nail (with some care).
Yes, it is terrible.
- Default .rc file: keeps Sender: by default (Ken Hornstein),
sets *followup-to-honour*#425 and *reply-to-honour*#533,
and gives more *history-gabby*#437ness.
ChangeLog
^^^^^^^^^
- Add `Lfollowup'#218. (Russell Bell)
- `?'#138: prefix \ (quoted!) to command to avoid
`commandalias'#162 matching:
? ? S
S -> spamspam: Teach the spam detector that <msglist> is spam
? ? \\S
S (Save): Like `save', but derive filename from first sender
- `history'#212 has new "delete NUMBER" subcommand.
- Add *forward-add-cc*#426 and *quote-add-cc*#519 to Cc: the
originator of a forwarded or quoted message, respectively.
(Goesta Smekal)
- *history-gabby*#437 now has a value to allow for more.
This changes second argument of *on-history-addition*#492
from boolean to context string.
- New command `mtaaliases'#235. We no longer automatically
update the *mta-aliases*#475 cache. (Maybe much later we will
have a path_monitor or something, until then, not.)
And `netrc'#236 "load" is now indeed "clear" + "load".
`netrc' also gained a "lookup" subcommand. (Ralph Corderoy)
- *headline*#433 %L format will announce possibility that
a message could be a list.
- `chdir'#157, `rename'#255 and `remove'#254 use shell-style
argument quoting.
- `tls'#288 gained "certchain" and "certificate" subcommands.
- `folder'#200 can open RFC 5322 messages via eml:// protocol,
as in "folder eml:///tmp/msg.eml". Yet primitive and only
read-only. (Viktor Szépe)
- `vexpr'#302 gained "date-utc", "date-stamp-utc" and "epoch"
subcommands. (Benjamin A. Wong)
- *on-main-loop-tick*#493 now also happens for commands passed
via -Y#87.

v14.9.15 ("Tit family in the trees"), 2019-08-18
------------------------------------------------
Plugging a bug regarding copying data out of invalid MBOX mail
databases which is present in all BSD Mails and in Unix V10 mail,
and bringing in some tweaks, this update hopefully really marks
the end of the v14.9.* series.
After more than four and a half years i again have a VM testbed,
with an increasing number of VM combinations. (Yet still too few,
but nonetheless, a dramatical improvement.) This includes
a GSS-API testbed, with an ArchLinux server and Linux and FreeBSD
clients (do not ask why no additional FreeBSD server, i want to
use binary packages). This brought GSSAPI tweaks.
Credits, in order of commit appearance: Ralph Corderoy,
Chet Ramey, Robert Elz, Jilles Tjoelker, Steve Izma, Viktor Szépe,
and Jean-Marc Pigeon.
Very special thanks go to Tarqi Kazan and Ivan Vučica, who tested
GSS-API in the past until it worked (again), testing against my
blind flight patches! Thank you very much, guys!
We welcome Chet Ramey, Jilles Tjoelker and Steve Izma in THANKS.
NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- *features*#418 and *tls-features*#593 are now prefixed with
a comma ",", not with the number sign "#" (which could
increasingly `eval'#191uate to a comment).
- We now support parallelized tests. It takes a numeric job
number out of $MAKEFLAGS, or tries to fetch the number of
processors otherwise (really!). To go singleprocessor
"$ make testnj" has to be called explicitly.
With or without, we will terminate tests which take too long.
This is truly tremendous, on the unstable9s machine of the
OpenCSW.org cluster for example we now need 24 seconds instead
of by far more than 300. What a release!
With help of (Chet Ramey, Robert Elz, Jilles Tjoelker and
Steve Izma)
- EXTERNAL authentication is truly a mess. It has been fixed for
POP3, where it was broken on our side. But it seems the
internet does not like that, or cannot (pass user credentials
from a certificate gracefully to the authenticator).
Anyway. I have introduced EXTERNANON in addition for all of
IMAP, POP3 and SMTP. This could now result in a usable
combination, regardless of what server(s) are contacted.
- The hook *on-account-cleanup*#486 will now be called even
upon program exit (i.e., implicitly leaving the account).
ChangeLog
^^^^^^^^^
- New *followup-to-add-cc*#424 will place the user in the Cc:
list if it will place her in the Mail-Followup-To:.
- New hook *on-program-exit*#494.
- *pop3-auth*#508=gssapi is now supported.
For IMAP, SASL-IR will be used for GSSAPI if possible (saving
a packet round-trip).
- *expandaddr*#415 has the new keyword "namehostex".
If set, plain name addressees, like "To: steffen", will be
expanded to NAME@HOSTNAME (where the latter could be
*hostname*#441) if NAME is a valid user on the current host.

v14.9.14 ("Great tit passed moult"), 2019-07-27
-----------------------------------------------
This is an unwanted and unplanned but unfortunately necessary
bugfix release. I hope it marks the end of the v14.9.* series.
I presume you would be surprised if it would not also bring some
features, this time mostly support of MTA-style aliases as
inquired by Jean-Marc Pigeon, some authentication work (XOAUTH2/
OAUTHBEARER support), and as usual development to the last minute.
It fixes IMAP GSSAPI authentication, thanks to Ivan Vučica for
reporting and testing this issue (Debian #930691; still have no
testbed, but will soon!), and imap-delim, which i broke in July
2017, thanks to Ralph Keller for repetitive reporting.
For OpenBSD and SunOS 5.9 this release fixes long standing (must
be) race conditions regarding child processes and their I/O setup.
Never seen before, but my new box (i stepped a decade of
hardware improvements, finally) rather regulary has shown them
when running the test suite. (On the OpenCSW cluster my speed
varies, but i had a very good day and seen them there once.)
This (finally) caused the complete rewrite of the child process
(and termios) handling that i (had to) mention in communication
with Gavin Troy already back in, i do not know -- 2013? (Still
not event loop based, but near getting good feelings there.)
Funnily the problem (child descriptors were closed by the parent
before the fork(2)ed childs had the opportunity to dup(2)licate
their file descriptors) reminded me of a message of the german
computer magazine c't, maybe around 2001/2002, when OpenBSD
improved their fork(2) performance in a day or two after having
appeared declassified in a comparison with other OSes.
(Of course it was nothing but our own fault to not synchronize on
the child, but blindly assuming that a fork(2) child gets the
opportunity to run immediately.)
Dear Predrag: would it now be possible for you to upgrade from
v14.8.12? I really would like to know!

Ralph Keller in THANKS.
NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- The (very backward) Debian mawk is now supported directly.
(Martin Lucina, Viktor Szépe)
- GCC (8.3.0) -Os inlining bug (wmt) is worked around.
And GNU awk 5 warnings have been fixed (before CRUX).
- "|PIPE RECEIVER" errors seen on SunOS 5.9 and OpenBSD have first
been fixed, and then caused a major rewrite of the child and
termios handling for a rather "real" fix.
The latter has the side effect that *pipe-TYPE/SUBTYPE*#500
handlers will now have their standard output go to /dev/null.
- IMAP GSSAPI authentication should work again. (Ivan Vučica)
- -C#60 testable can be used more than two times.
- The "grappa" mode of mk/make-release.sh can now be used
"everywhere". See INSTALL on interest. (It now gracefully
fails if s-nail is not installed: we need that for hashing.)
- New option OPT_MTA, by default enabled.
Set *mta-aliases*#475 to a valid path in aliases(5) syntax,
and we will expand them. All Postfix directives but :include:
are supported. Only clear text files are supported, no DBs.
(Jean-Marc Pigeon)
- `~^'#319 will now verify *expandaddr*#415 right away in
"~^ head ins to|cc|bcc", as is already done for `~t'#340,
`~c'#323 and `~b'#322.
- OPT_AGENT and OPT_SPAM_SPAMD are gone; they were obsoleted on
2017-07-16, and it is not expected to become noticed.
- *sendwait*#542 is now initially set, and it gained an optional
value, a comma-separated list of case-insensitive strings naming
specific subsystems for which synchronousness shall be ensured
(only). Possible values are "mta" for *mta*#474 delivery,
and "pcc" for command-pipe receivers.
P.S.: you can get a list of all initial values plus via
$ s-nail -:/ -v -Xset -Xx
- Colours may now happen even in quickrun mode (-e#65,
-H#68, -L#71)! I thought it is ok nonetheless, because
we i think always documented to enwrap `colour'#160 setting
in an according `if'#214, as in
\if terminal && [ "$features" =% +colour ]
\colo iso view-header fg=red
\end
- OPT_SOCKETS has been renamed to OPT_NET.
- -Y#87 is now well defined under all conditions, with tests:
The commands will be evaluated successively in the given
order, and as if given on the program's standard input --
before interactive prompting begins in interactive mode,
after standard input has been consumed otherwise.
- XOAUTH2 / OAUTHBEARER (OAuth 2.0 bearer token, RFC 6750)
autentication is now supported for all protocols.
New FAQ entry "But, how about XOAUTH2 / OAUTHBEARER?"#45
For driving the necessary external update tool a new
*on-main-loop-tick*#493 hook has been introduced.
(I am thinking about adding support for an optional built-in
token refresh.)
- Support for the EXTERNAL authentication method has been
introduced. This is UNTESTED, though. (I am still in the
process of re-setting up my VM test environment.)
We do not verify presence of a client certificate etc., but only
that a TLS secured channel is active, when using this method.
(We now *verbose*#605 log the used TLS version and cipher, too.)
- *imap-delim*#665 works again as advertised! This was broken in
[1b9897a9] ((BWDIC!) Fix *imap-delim* behaviour.., 2017-07-01),
and i think i was pretty much irritated by then. Sorry!!
While here, take *imap-delim* into account for `imapcodec'#661.
(Ralph Keller).
ChangeLog
^^^^^^^^^
- Manual section "HISTORY"#51 improved a bit. (Thomas Haigh)
- New variable *line-editor-cpl-word-breaks*#452 (yet a bit
restricted).
- MLE: add mle-raise-{int,quit,tstp} functions. Ie., raising
those signals via ^C and ^Z is no longer hard-wired (in the
MLE), but can be reassigned. (Nicholas Marriott)
- The makefiles no longer contain any awk code, that all has been
separated into files under mk/. (Alexander Harm)
- We now have "test" *mta*#474, which dumps to standard output
or optionally to a file, and honours *mbox-fcc-and-pcc*#461:
$ echo text | s-nail -:/ -Smta=test -s ubject u...@exam.ple
$ </dev/null s-nail -:/ -Smta=test://./xy -s ub u...@exam.ple
- -##89 now acts as if variables were set via -S#79, rather than
as via `set'#268, meaning that they are "frozen" for a while.
- We have a new `colour'#160 mapping, "mle-error".
It applies to error note in *prompt*#515, as well as to any
other error logged to the terminal. The latter is temporary
until we gain a more fine grained logging facility, which then--
likely--introduces an entire mapping family.
Btw., for messages not explicitly generated (by, eg.,
`echoerr'#182), we now also avoid writing adjacent duplicates,
but rather do a syslog-like thing. That error generator has
been rewritten a bit, now more expensive, but looks right.
(Martin Neitzel, Paul Vojta)
- The value of $COLUMNS#613 seen in child processes is now the
real one, rather than the one we use (not necessarily identical,
dependent on termcap/terminfo/terminal support).
- There are now three -v#85 / *verbose*#605 levels, not two.
- The HTML filter knows more HTML 4.0 entities. (Russell Bell)

v14.9.13 ("Blue tit's spiral marriage swoop"), 2019-03-08
---------------------------------------------------------
Not so much happened as i was busy with other things in the second
half of 2018, and could not find a grip: at the source level some
efforts to turn this to mailx have taken place, including early
work on a code abstraction that will be shared with my (g)roff
clone: it was tiring to come back to old ideas that i have already
implemented multiple times and in different languages. To mention
it for the curious.
So: this is a bugfix release, in fact it fixes a tremendous amount
thereof, [master] was ahead by 62 commits from [v14.9.11] (not all
bugs though, hrmhrm), but also with, well, a few new features, and
of course, development to the last minute. ^_^
v14.9.13 replaces v14.9.12 from yesterday which would pick up an
ISO C 2011 statement that is impracticable, thanks to Johannes
Schöpfer and Jürgen Daubert for reporting this (i should test
without OPT_AUTOCC more often.) I have also fixed -T to match
NEWS (manual and code did the opposite).
v14.9.12 balls will be removed from the server.

Very special thanks go to Jean-Marc Pigeon of OSUKISS Linux, who
provided me access to a VZGOT container on the most "beefy"
machine i have ever had access to! It is ever so astonishing to
have work done in 90 seconds on this supercomputer which requires
an hour or more here. Thank you, Jean-Marc.
And thanks to Kimura-san not only my web server became accessible
via TLSv1.3 (out-of-line), but we also have landed on FreeBSD!
Kimura-san is the one who installed a sympathic cron job that
reminds me of cherry petals wafting in a warm spring breeze --
in winter!

NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Packagers could follow stable/* via git(1) and the "grappa" mode
of the release script (see README); perl(1) is required to be
totally en par with an official release. (Paride Legovini)
$ git checkout stable/stable
$ sh mk/make-release.sh grappa mybranch
...
Program version is [.], packager release addition shall be: xy
Is s-nail <v[.]-xy> correct? [y/n] y
Switched to branch 'mybranch'
$ git commit -S -n -m 'My release [.]-xy'
- $MAKEJOBS vanished, just use -j or whatever your make(1) supports.
Luckily the tested make(1)s can be persuaded to dig each others
.WAIT / .WAIT: / .NOTPARALLEL: targets.. and do the right thing.
- $OBJDIR support added, i use it for building / testing on tmpfs.
It works in conjunction with make-emerge.sh, too, thus
out-of-tree out-of-tree is possible (more or less; see INSTALL).
$ make tangerine OBJDIR=/tmp/x/y/z
- Option VAL_PRIVSEP_USER has been renamed to VAL_PS_DOTLOCK_USER
(to reflect the new "deep tree" directory layout).
- Option OPT_QUOTE_FOLD has been renamed to OPT_FILTER_QUOTE_FOLD
(to reflect later code changes upwards compatibly).
- New options OPT_CMD_VEXPR and OPT_CMD_CSOP, by default enabled.
To include the commands `vexpr'#302 and the new `csop'#166,
which now provides the byte string functions of the former.
(Still available through `vexpr' until v15.)
(I hope to be able to later provide a `usop' or `unisop' or so.)
- *v15-compat*#604 can now have a value: if it is set, the
`wysh'#130 command modifier which chooses shell quoting rules
for some commands is implicit.
- We have some (more) backward incompatible changes, though it is
likely most users will not recognize the differences.
o *headline*#433 format %T is obsolete, %L fits better.
o `csop'#166 `hash' and `hash32' subcommands (formerly from
`vexpr'#302) use a slightly changed hash algorithm.
(Which results in an improved distribution for tested sets of
words in power-of-two spaced dictionary.)
These are affected by the change in the second next item, too.
o Changed to use shell quoting rules for arguments:
+ `mimetype'#224 and `unmimetype'#225.
This is affected by the change in the next item, too.
+ `shortcut'#272 and `unshortcut'#273.
+ `mlist'#227 and `unmlist'#228 as well as `mlsubscribe'#229
and `unmlsubscribe'#230.
+ `alias'#143, too.
o Changed (with legacy compat) the "@[i]" modifier prefix to
a question-mark ?[case|..] suffix, as is known from URLs.
We head towards direction URL syntax, now here too.
+ `if'#214 and `elif'#186.
E.g., 'wysh if "abc" ==?case "ABC"' is true, as well as is
'wysh if 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF -eq?saturated 36#1Y2P0IJ32E8E7'.
"==?" and "-eq?" would have been sufficient, here.
(No unsigned mode (yet) for `if'#214.)
Yes, `if'#214 and `elif'#186 now support `wysh'#130, and
see already expanded arguments, then. No more "triggers".
This finally makes it possible to write things like
? wysh if X;A;wysh elif Y;B;else;C;end
Note 'else;C' not 'else C'.
New operators: '-n "$VAR"' and '-z "$VAR"' work like in the
shell, '-N varname' and '-Z varname' do not test the
expansion but the existence of variables instead.
Two argument forms require `wysh'#130.
+ `mimetype'#224 markers have changed likewise; this also
affects *pipe-TYPE/SUBTYPE*#500 and *pipe-EXTENSION*#507 (with
legacy compatibility and -v/-d obsoletion warnings)!
? mimetype ?t text/x-awk awk
? wysh set pipe-application/pdf='?=&?\
trap "rm -f \"${MAILX_FILENAME_TEMPORARY}\"" EXIT;\
trap "trap \"\" INT QUIT TERM; exit 1" INT QUIT TERM;\
mupdf "${MAILX_FILENAME_TEMPORARY}"'
+ `vexpr'#302 (and `csop'#166) modifiers changed likewise.
The case-insensitive subcommands "ifind" and "iregex" have
been obsoleted, just use the ?[case] modifier to the regular
function instead.
P.S.: Thanks to Rich Felker the `regex' subcommands now
works as desired even with empty intermediate submatches.
o Changed address parse mode for command line arguments plus.
This modifies decade old tradition, but results in a more
predictable behaviour i think. Most people will possibly even
be surprised to see the old behaviour:
$ </dev/null s-nail-old -dsubject ' du , de <p@p> , pp , du '
-> To: du, de <p@p>, pp
new:
$ </dev/null s-nail -dsubject ' du , de <p@p> , pp , du '
-> To: "du , de , pp , du " <p@p>
Of course anything but perfect, our address parser is very
complicated yet far from being acceptable. (Dr. Werner Fink)
This affects:
+ -b#59, -c#61 and To: receivers, as above.
(We also have a new -T#81 receiver multiplexer, which is
configurable in this regard, please see below for more.)
+ The -r#78 address.
This saw more changes: the content is no longer evaluated
via shell expression parser (when *v15-compat* is set)..
unless explicitly requested via the *expandaddr*#415
flag "shquote".
+ *sender*#541 variable.
+ `addrcodec'#142 command, likewise; old:
? addrc e du , e <w@d> , d
du , e <w@d> , d
#?1!22/INVAL
new:
? addrc e du , e <w@d> , d
"du , e , d" <w@d>
#?0!0/NONE
+ `digmsg'#174 and `~^'#319 now use this parse mode fix for
headers which need a single receiver, which is backward
compatible but now safer since it can be fooled less easily
(to split into a list what should be a single address, as
shown above for `addrcodec'#142).
They now can also be forced to use that parse mode for To:,
Cc:, Bcc: with a new question mark modifier "?single", here
the word "single" is optional.
~^ header insert To?single: exa, <m@ple>
~^ header show to
- By established rules and popular demand occurrances of '^From_'
(see *mbox-rfc4155*#462) will be MBOXO quoted (prefixed with
greater-than sign '>') instead of causing a non-destructive
encoding like 'quoted-printable' to be chosen, unless context
(e.g., message signing) requires otherwise.
Only with *mime-encoding*#471=8bit.
- We now support long "Options"#5 -- try --long-help.
- Finally, it is possible to force sending out messages with the
new *mime-force-sendout*#472 variable. If this MUA has been
compiled with iconv(3) support it can happen that sending
otherwise valid text messages fails because of invalid bytes
sequences according to the locale; setting this new variable
will avoid this; use *mime-counter-evidence*#470 to view such
messages nonetheless. (Dr. Werner Fink)
ChangeLog
^^^^^^^^^
- `mimeview'#226 works again with binary formats. (Russell Bell)
- IMAP searches via IMAP without matches no longer report a single
match. (Dirk-Wilhelm Peters)
- New -Y#87 aka --cmd= option to inject commands to be executed
when startup is completed (as opposed to the earlier -X#86 aka
--startup-cmd=).
These commands appear as if the user had typed them in.
- A new *on-history-addition*#492 can be used to filter what
enters the `history'#212.
- New "fcc" flag for *expandaddr*#415. (Olav Mørkrid)
And "domaincheck" will cause target domain comparison against
entries in the new *expandaddr-domaincheck*#416. (Olav Mørkrid)
- New *mbox-fcc-and-pcc*#461 will write out file and pipe addresses
as a plain RFC5322 message rather than an MBOX. (Olav Mørkrid)
- The `errors'#190 queue existance and size is announced via
*^ERRQUEUE-EXISTS*#354 and *^ERRQUEUE-COUNT*#353.
(Russell Bell, Martin Neitzel)
- Our MBOX parser is now truly compliant to POSIX.
(Dr. Werner Fink)
- We follow symbolic links again when writing files.
(Russell Bell)
- *tls-rand-file*#596 is in fact now necessarily one of the
optional *tls-features*#593. (Mike Sharov)
- New command line option -T#81 aka --target='FIELD: BODY'.
FIELD can be To:, Cc:, Bcc: or Fcc:.
The BODY is parsed as a list (just as if the given FIELD would
be part of a template message fed in via -t#82), but the
"?single" modifier suffix can be used to avoid this.
(Dr. Werner Fink)

v14.9.11 ("Tit family enjoying a bath"), 2018-08-08
---------------------------------------------------
A hot summer bugfix release, but it surely brings in some new
features, like TLS fingerprinting and `digmsg' message access.
An embarassing number of bugfixes have been seen, to fix IMAP UID
handling on 32-bit hosts, UTF-8, `readall' with empty lines, rare
endless iconv(3) loops, false qsort(3)ing of addressee lists,
crashes due to false user shell quoting, acceptance of "0" port
numbers, and more. Most of these cases now have tests.

(<https://scan.coverity.com/projects/s-nail>, project number 444.)
We welcome Andrew Gee, Kevin McCarthy, Michael Dressel,
Olav Mørkrid and Jürgen Bruckner in THANKS.
NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- I have discovered that GnuPG can --export-secret-subkey so that
the real/full private key is no longer needed to --sign, and the
excerpts of the private one can have a different password, too.
So i have created a new for-signing subkey: EEC8C2FF.
Unfortunately it is not possible to verify new signatures with
the old public key, an update is necessary. For example via
https://ftp.sdaoden.eu/steffen.asc
or just update 1883A0DD via normal gpg(1).
- Maildir support is now optional but default via OPT_MAILDIR.
(Paride Legovini)
- I hope for the last time there has been a change to SSL
configuration: i have renamed all ssl* variables to tls*.
The old ssl* ones still exist until v15, though, yet obsoletion
warnings will be produced.
This is so because i expect that in a not too distant future
only the term TLS will be around.
Also the term CipherList was falsely used, it should have been
CipherString.
- Most (if not all) commands which take a message list and a file
target now use shell-style quoting. (Before that say `copy'#165
scanned backwards over "something possibly quoted", took that
off, then treated the rest as a message list. Now shell tokens
are parsed starting at the front, the last is taken off, and
anything before that is the message list.) (Gavin Troy. 2013.)
- `~^#'? "header show" now backward-incompatibly shows the address
type in field 1, but since this _only_ applies to non-network
addresses i made the change.
- We will find ncurses on DragonFly BSD.
- On Solaris tests no longer need GNU cksum(1): the Solaris cksum
is different only for whitespace separators. (Jörg Schilling)
- All generated files reside in .obj/, and the tests run in there,
too. A "rm -f .obj" should suffice to clean anything up.
ChangeLog
^^^^^^^^^
- `~F'#326, `~f'#327, `~M'#332, `~m'#333, `~U'#341 and `~u'#342
now default to the current message (the "dot"). (Andrew Gee)
- *indentprefix*#448 handling has had its pitfalls when quoting
messages. (Andrew Gee)
- -r#78 will again set *from*#430 even after -S#79 has been used
to set *from*. (Michael Dressel)
- No longer process From: (*from*#430) content via `alternates'#145
when Sender: (*sender*#541) is set. (Michael Dressel)
- Because the priority class of headers was not taken into
account, it could happen that addressees in Cc: would remain but
the same in To: were removed. (Michael Dressel)
- IMAP accounts for RFC 4551 (and 7162) and supports 64-bit
UIDVALIDITY.
- *spamfilter-rate-scanscore*#578 could crash if specification
did not match program output.
- Shims for TLSv1.3 support, e.g., for *tls-config-pairs*#590.
- Obsoleted *dotlock-ignore-error*, added *dotlock-disable*#409.
(Paride Legovini)
- In compose-mode, removing the In-Reply-To: header breaks an old,
and starts a new thread. (Doug McIlroy)
- Added new *forward-inject-tail*#429, *quote-inject-head*#523
and *quote-inject-tail*#524 variables, and extended the meaning
of *quote*#518.
All of *{forward,quote}-inject-{head,tail}* now support
a compose-mode specific set of formats (see
*quote-inject-head*#523), for now a few only.
(This adds meaning onto the content of *forward-inject-head*#428
as introduced in v14.9.0.)
The generated output honours *quote-fold*#522, which now takes
an optional third argument in order to produce better output.
While here, introduce the new command escape `~Q'#335 which
performs full *quote*#518 cycles on the given message list.
- Fcc: headers are now understood in -t#82 templates or when
placed in compose mode (`~v'#343, *editalong*#410 etc.).
Since each such header only takes one addressee, no quoting
issues apply, the entire header body is the value.
- `~|'#318 will pass the entire message including headers when
used as "~||", e.g., prepend a file-carbon-copy message header:
~|| echo Fcc: /tmp/test; cat
- New `tls'#288 multiplexer command. Yet primitive and only
supports a `fingerprint' subcommand. Supports `vput'#129.
The new *tls-fingerprint*#594 variable chain aids in adding
support for connection verification without an installed CA
certificate pool in conjunction with the new
*tls-fingerprint-digest*#595 chain.
Consequently *smime-sign-message-digest* has been renamed to
*smime-sign-digest*#561 (old version will cease in v15).
The latter now defaults to SHA512 if possible.
- New MLE commands mle-go-screen-bwd and mle-go-screen-fwd to go
backward and forward one screenful.
And a new mle-clear-screen command. (Todd C. Miller)
- New *expandaddr*#415 setting "shquote" will evaluate addresses
as if specified within $'' shell-quotes for -b#59, -c#61,
and all direct command line receivers. This allows for, e.g.,
$ s-nail -Sexpandaddr=shquote '\$contact-mail'
- *quote-as-attachment*#520 no longer needs to be set before
compose mode is entered in order to become honoured.
- Even for -H#68 or -L#71 *folder-hook*#421s will now be called.
Possible sorting is also applied.
- `='#137 now optionally supports message list arguments and the
`vput'#129 modifier in order to store the result list.
The new `digmsg'#174 multiplexer adds some message access, just
like `~^'#319 does in compose mode. In fact the set of commands
is shared, yet only in compose mode `digmsg' can change messages
or access attachments until v15, however. For example,
#?0[steffen@essex nail.git]$ cat > /tmp/z.rc <<'_EOT'
define one {
if [ "${#}" -gt 0 ]
digmsg create $1 - # no `read'/`readall' overlay but stdout
#digmsg $1 header list
digmsg $1 header show subject
digmsg remove $1
shift
\eval xcall one "$@"
\end
}
define all {
local set all # localize ("localopts yes" would do too)
vput = all *; echo all: $all; eval call one $all
}
_EOT
#?0[steffen@essex nail.git]$ MAILRC=/tmp/z.rc \

v14.9.10 ("(40th Mail anniversary) Blue tit"), 2018-03-25
---------------------------------------------------------
On this day in 1978 Kurt Shoens placed the following comment in
def.h (now it is in nail.h):
/*
* Mail -- a mail program
*
* Author: Kurt Shoens (UCB) March 25, 1978
*/
v14.9.10 is mostly a stability and bugfix release.
It has seen a full test series including Coverity.com scans.
It fixes bugs i have introduced (also a double free in IMAP cache
that i introduced for v14.9.* series to address Coverity CID
1376978..).
In the end i am saying thanks to Gunnar Ritter for the IMAP
module, and absolutely especially his really neat idea of an IMAP
cache including offline work queue. (IMAP will nonetheless
temporarily go in v15, but these ideas will come back thereafter.)
I have gray hairs now.
Credits, in order of commit appearance: William Yodlowsky,
Stuart Henderson, Jörg Schilling, Viktor SZÉPE, Rich Felker,
Ralph Corderoy and Philipp Gesang.
A special credit to Coverity.com again. Because:
tcc is 618496 bytes, pcc is 851968+24576 bytes,
but gcc is 73355264 bytes and clang is even
147406848 bytes, i wonder why the latter two never
said a word that would have addressed the pretty
obvious CID 1387053!
[Use of initialized value, the author.]
We welcome Stuart Henderson and Philipp Gesang in THANKS.
NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- The balls are now build with umask 0022 not 0027.
(William Yodlowsky, Stuart Henderson)
- One actual development of this version was the addition of
multiple choice VAL_ues, as documented in make.rc.
For now we have VAL_IDNA (for OPT_IDNA)
VAL_IDNA="idnkit idn2 idn"
and VAL_RANDOM (by itself)
VAL_RANDOM="arc4 ssl libgetrandom sysgetrandom urandom builtin"
(Stuart Henderson)
In brief:
The value is interpreted as a whitespace separated list of
strings, like "idn2 idn idnkit", case is ignored, order is
important.
The special strings "all" and "any" as well as the empty value
are wildcard matches; if any entry in the list is a wildcard
match, the rest of the list is ignored.
The special string "error" will abort configuration once its
list position is reached; this is only supported if
documented, and not with an accompanying OPT_ (which then
offers "require", as below).
Since this VAL_RANDOM approach is so much better i have dropped
OPT_SSL_RANDOM and OPT_NOEXTRANDOM that were recently
introduced again. They were c..p.
- Support for idnkit 2.3 has been added.
Support for idnkit 1 (especially as idnkitlite) has been fixed.
- For the first time this codebase should be able to handle
invalid MBOX mailboxes (produced by, e.g., dma(1)) gracefully.
I hope i have found all places (sic) where code has to be fixed.
E.g., "? copy * INVALID-MBOX" now works.
(Smalltalk already knew objects which know what they are doing
are for the better... This is v15, then.)
- P.S.: the two FreeBSD test failures are noted in INSTALL.
ChangeLog
^^^^^^^^^
- *asksend*#368 will now really allow recomposing.
- `help'#211 now supports recursive `commandalias'#162es, and
command self-recursion detection now works differently, it has
been false for something like
commandalias x q; commandalias q echo au
since q became expanded to `quit'#249 (alias expansion equals
new command word). New behaviour: we allow equals once:
commandalias q q; commandalias x q; x
->
x -> q -> q -> quit
- *editalong*#410 can have a value, say "set editalong=v" and it
will startup $VISUAL#638 not $EDITOR#615.
- Path separators are now normalized, thus all places, including
MLE tab-expansion ("On terminal control and line editor"#17),
can expand something like "///t*////t*".
- -E#64 flag will not be obsoleted.
-D#62 flag has been reintroduced (sets *disconnected*#662 right
away, was not reinstantiated with the rest of the IMAP support.)

v14.9.9 ("Marsh tit savours first spring sun, II") 2018-03-06
-------------------------------------------------------------
A bugfix release.
I hope with this the fallout of the Christmas 2016 "address the
Dr. Problem workshop" has been fully resolved and thus MIME for
header address fields, even if iconv(3) is involved, been fully
restored! We have even more tests for this now.
The release v14.9.8 was broken on big endian machines.
I will remove the v14.9.8 balls from the server by the weekend.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

We welcome Slavko, Matej Mužila, Rich Felker and Simon McVittie in
THANKS.
NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- The v14.9.* series called *pipe-TYPE/SUBTYPE*#500 handlers in
display or quote mode with CR (carriage-return) bytes stripped
because of a missing output file comparison check, which broke
binary formats etc. (Slavko)
- We now have native support for Libidn2. (Matej Mužila)
- uname(1) is now hookable by setting the shell variable uname
when calling make ("uname=MY-UNAME make config" etc.).
(Simon McVittie)
We no longer bake the kernel version into the binary, and
`version'#301 includes uname(2) output.
(Simon McVittie, Paride Legovini)
- We now support a fallback P(seudo)R(andomNumber)G(enerator)
initialization even if getrandom(2)/getrandom(3) has been found
by the configuration, just like we do for "/dev/urandom" usage.
This does not affect systems with arc4random(3) or OpenSSL
random usage. (David Čepelík, Simon McVittie)
A new OPT_SSL_RANDOM make.rc variable, by default initialized to
the value of OPT_SSL.
ChangeLog
^^^^^^^^^
- `~@'#317 list-edit behaviour in -##89 batch mode was broken.
- Character set names will now undergo generic normalization,
including stripping of iconv(3) //SUFFIXes.

and Peter J. Holzer.
A special credit to the disappearing mutt(1) bug tracker.
And to Gmane.org for creating gmane.mail.s-mailx.general!
Thanks Paride Legovini for becoming maintainer of the Debian port.
We welcome Joseph Bisch, Paride Legovini, and Peter J. Holzer in
THANKS.
NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- The USB stick loss reported for v14.9.6 was fake news, so to
say, the stick exists and therefore the old key is not
compromised.
- We are back at Gmane.org!
news.gmane.org/gmane.mail.s-mailx.general
- `history'#212 has learned to be context-sensitive a bit, and
has two new subcommands, `load' and `save'.
This is in parts backward incompatible because it needs a new
*history-file*#436 format; however, the old format can be loaded
yet compose-mode commands will not appear in compose mode no
more. Iirc you can start with an old format then `save' to
the new, then replace the "d" in the first column with "c" for
compose-mode commands which should appear correctly.
- Obsoletion warnings for variables now happen at `set'#268
time instead of when used. Running once via -v#85 may
be beneficial.
- The saturation modifier of `vexpr'#302 is henceforth a prefix,
the suffix version is obsolete (but still supported for a while).
- A network address that contains no domain-, but only a valid local
user <name> in angle brackets will be automatically expanded to
a valid address when *hostname*#441 is set to a non-empty value;
setting it to the empty value instructs us that the used *mta*#474
(including builtin SMTP) will perform the necessary expansion.
(Viktor SZÉPE)
Note that *hostname*#441 as well as *smtp-hostname*#564
will now undergo IDNA expansion if IDNA is supported.
And *from*#430 and *sender*#541 are now verified at `set'#268
time, not when used. (Viktor SZÉPE)
- The commit message in [d503bd82] is wrong, apologies to
Paride Legovini. The test(1) operator "-n" appeared in Seventh
Edition UNIX, not V8 as falsely claimed.
ChangeLog
^^^^^^^^^
- Our `addrcodec'#142 parser chokes on lesser constructs.
- Presence of command-line MTA arguments without *expandargv*#417
are now a hard error. It was my fault that this was not the
default from the very start. (Viktor SZÉPE)
- Seen on the mutt bug tracker, we also still have had problems
with time settings that cross 32-bit boundaries. As that is
in parts induced by the C standard, now implement those parts on
our own, and be super careful in general. (Joseph Bisch)
- The `~@'#317 command escape did not shell-unquote the user input
again and was thus a bit broken; message attachments also work
again.
- Support custom headers from the command line via -C#60.
And *customhdr*#403 is verified upon `set'#268 time.
- The simple builtin HTML viewer now supports <blockquote>
elements, which many web mailers, most notably gmail, use for

v14.9.6 ("Marsh tit abiding a snow storm"), 2017-12-05
------------------------------------------------------
A bugfix release which fixes four serious and three other bugs.
A few new features came in, too.
Many thanks go to Ralph Corderoy who reported an issue that was
caused by a terrible, terrible word reversal that i managed to
produce in December 2016, and which caused the v14.9.x series to
not MIME encode (non-address) content of address header fields!

NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- After USB stick loss the authors OpenPGP key has been switched to
pub 4096R/1883A0DD 2017-11-30 [expires: 2027-11-28]

- $TMPDIR#636 no longer honoured for root runs. (Solar Designer)
- *mime-encoding*#471 defaults to quoted-printable again. (Cág)
- We _can_ MIME encode even header fields which contain addresses.
Thanks to Ralph Corderoy we now also _do_ so again!
ChangeLog
^^^^^^^^^
- ***#336 now uses *ifs*#443 when splitting.
- Freezing *ttycharset*#600 via -S#79 also survives using or
setting any of $LC_ALL#617, $LC_CTYPE#618 and $LANG#619 during
program startup.
- New `local'#126 command modifier to localize changes.
Yet supported only for `set'#268, i.e., we have gained
macro-local variables.
- `vexpr'#302 now supports a BASE#number notation for integers,
like 16#AFFE as an alternative to 0xAFFE.
Hint: variable settings can most often use several bases, too,
e.g., i have "set mime-counter-evidence=0b1111".
- Very simple form of *quote-chars*#521 to adjust our knowledge of
what actually is to be treated as a quote character.
- *mime-counter-evidence*#470 deep inspection (bit four) has
been improved for the sole cases of quoting or displaying
a message. So messages with less than 25% of control characters
and such will now be displayed (made printable). This is yet
not configurable nor do we have a way to easily access a message
with more than that. (Doug McIlroy)

v14.9.5 ("Marsh tit engaged with a peanut"), 2017-10-21
-------------------------------------------------------
A bugfix release which fixes two bugs which were cast in stone.
A few compatibility improvements (AlpineLinux, Solaris).
And minor features.
Apologies to Jörg Schilling, a git bug i think it was who caused
joining of changesets, losing a credit, and it had been pushed to
[master] before the problem was realized.
Credits, in order of commit appearance: Jörg Schilling,
Doug McIlroy, Random832, Nick Stoughton and Ivan Tham.
We welcome Nick Stoughton and Ivan Tham in THANKS.
NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- New OPT_USE_PKGSYS option can be disabled to not automatically
pick known package system paths (pkg(7), OpenCSW, schily).
(Jörg Schilling)
ChangeLog
^^^^^^^^^
- The software indeed _never_ dealt with iconv(3) output character
set errors (as opposed to invalid input character set byte
sequences etc.) for the main message body!
And I have missed that when i tweaked our iconv layer a bit!
- Fixed a race condition with sigsuspend(2) that i could only see
on OpenBSD. config.h offers n_SIGSUSPEND_NOT_WAITPID, by the
way, which saves some systemcalls and did not run races, but
noone adjusts this file.
- Message list specifications gained two new colon modifiers, one
can now "search :Ll" to find "Mailing lists"#10.
The *headline*#433 format %T now also uses L and l rather than
S and L accordingly.
New `addrcodec'#142 subcommand `skinlist' acts like `skin'
but stores in *!*#348 *^ERR*#350-EXIST if the address is
one of the known "Mailing lists"#10.
- `echo'#181 family now supports `vput'#129 and *!*#348 error
storage, offering some kind of printf(1) experience, almost.

v14.9.4 ("(5th anniversary) Marsh tit"), 2017-09-18
---------------------------------------------------
This is an update feature release but which also ships a furious
number of bug fixes, about six of which were pretty serious. It
also applies overall trimming, and improves configuration time
compatibility on macOS.
Thanks to Alexander Harm there is now a macOS Homebrew package.

NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Out-of-tree builds have become possible via the new
make-emerge.sh script:
$ cd /tmp && mkdir build && cd build &&
~/src/nail.git/make-emerge.sh &&
make tangerine DESTDIR=.ddir
We now have a `citron' make target which is like `tangerine' but
does not run the tests.
- Configuration with OPT_AUTOCC honours $CC=cc. (Norman Ramsey)
- SSL/TLS configuration has been revamped (again) in order to
support new possibilities of OpenSSL (and LibreSSL) without
ending up and introducing more and more variables.
Instead we now have *ssl-config-pairs*, a comma-separated
list of all options. With e.g. OpenSSL 1.1.xx this will be
directly passed through to SSL_CONF_cmd(), so there _anything_
can be passed, otherwise we use a builtin parser to map.
The new *ssl-features*#? states what is supported. E.g.:
if [ "$ssl-features" =% +ctx-set-maxmin-proto ]
wysh set ssl-config-pairs='\
CipherList=TLSv1.2:!aNULL:!eNULL:@STRENGTH,\
Curves=P-521:P-384:P-256,\
MinProtocol=TLSv1.1'
else
wysh set ssl-config-pairs='\
CipherList=TLSv1.2:!aNULL:!eNULL:@STRENGTH,\
Curves=P-521:P-384:P-256,\
Protocol=-ALL\,+TLSv1.1 \, +TLSv1.2'
endif
OpenSSL v1.1.xx also introduces an interesting and neat idea to
centralize SSL/TLS configuration of (all) programs in a single
file. This can be driven via *ssl-config-file* and the new
*ssl-config-module* variables, several entries per program
are allowed, see *ssl-config-module* for an example.
New manual section "Encrypted network communication"#13.
- Variables set or unset via -S#79 are now frozen until program
startup is complete.
ChangeLog
^^^^^^^^^
- Historical behaviour of *askcc*#366 / *askbcc*#367 has been
reintroduced. (Norman Ramsey)
A new *asksend*#368 variable will show a final header summary
and allows reentering compose mode. Set by default.
POSIX mirrors *ask* onto *asksub*#370, so dropped" the former.
- `~^'#319 no longer normalizes header names to titlecase.
- We no longer generate charset=binary MIME parameters.
This was introduced on 2013-01-02 and was i think owed to
file(1)s -i output as i failed to find any other reference.
(Normal Ramsey)
- *mime-alternative-favour-rich*#469 now also works for handlers
installed via *pipe-TYPE/SUBTYPE*#500. (Viktor Szépe)
- v14.9.* series did not generate In-Reply-To: headers!
- `alias'#143 now supports high-bit bytes and semicolon.
Expect that at some later time the input must be valid according
to the locale, though. (Norman Ramsey)
- Combinations of *record*#527 could crash because of an
unterminated variable function argument list. (Norman Ramsey)
- New command `readall'#252 loads an entire file into a variable.
*signature*#548 has been obsoleted.
- `vexpr'#302 now supports negative arguments for the substring
subcommand and adds trim, trim-front and trim-end subcommands.
- `!'#133 can be used in send mode.
- `~A'#320, `~a'#321, `~I'#330 and `~i'#331 will henceforth expand
\t and \n only if *posix*#513 is set.
Please use `set'#268 instead (with `wysh'#130, until v15).
- New "The mime.types files"#35 type marker: @q ("quiet").

v14.9.3 ("Crested tit nibbling sunflower seeds"), 2017-08-03
------------------------------------------------------------
This is a bugfix release but which ships some improvements, too.
It silently replaces both of v14.9.1 v14.9.2 from earlier this
week, which were broken or not entirely fixed.
Credits, in order of commit appearance: Felix Fontein, Paul Vojta,
Ralph Corderoy, Christos Zoulas, Gavin Troy, Gaetan Bisson.

We welcome Christos Zoulas in THANKS.
Apologies to Viktor Szépe for the false spelling of his name in
the v14.9.0 announcement.
And to Gaetan Bisson for not giving credit for [14fbce97]!
NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- fakeroot support was blindly taken from Debian and broken.
(Gavin Troy, Gaetan Bisson)
- Base64 output was broken for cases which involved iconv(3).
The data is not lost, you can read it with S-nail v14.9.0 and
above, and save it somewhere. I know of no other base64 decoder
which reads those things correctly, though. We now have tests.
Along this i fixed an iconv(3) error which likely caused
stateful decoding (like, e.g., for ISO-2022-JP) to fail because
of an unnecessary reset of the iconv(3) state machine.
Thanks to Gaetan Bisson for mentioning this issue!
ChangeLog
^^^^^^^^^
- In compose mode the MLE allows empty lines again.
- We no longer require a writable $HOME#616. Due to false code
flow (but but but: with correct comment) a non-writable $HOME
entry in /etc/password (i.e., from getpwuid(3)) would lead to
a crash. (Felix Fontain; Ralph Corderoy)
- Two faulty string operations slipped into the IMAP code,
resulting in a crash and a "is-same-host" test that would fail
for IMAPS connections like `save'#265 or `copy'#165 because of an
implicit IMAP protocol for the target of those operations (thus
IMAP != IMAPS). (Paul Vojta)
- The MLE tab-expansion will now automatically append a "/" if
there is only one possible expansion and that is a directory,
saving the user one <TAB>. (Christos Zoulas)
The shell expression parser had a bug regarding understood
metacharacters (;|&), which in turn could cause an infinite loop
in the MLE tab-expansion for, e.g., "move &9 +<TAB>", because
the "&" would never have been stepped over.
- New `~I'#330 command escape is like `~i'#331 but does not append
a newline.
- `localopts'#217 gained an optional second argument.
It is now possible to specify that any macro `call'#151ed
will have localopts enabled, and it is possible to fixate the
setting so that it cannot be reverted.
- *@*#356 should now act completely compatible to the sh(1)ell,
thus obsoleting my hysteric warnings in the v14.9.0 announcement.
- The `Lreply'#219, `reply'#258, `Reply'#256 series as well as
`mail'#221 now manage the error status *!*#348.
I.e., there are now errors like *^ERR*#350-DESTADDRREQ,
^ERR-NODATA, ^ERR-PERM and similar. It is not perfect yet,
because $DEAD#614 may have been written (with *save*#536) or not,
for example.
`Lreply' and `reply' have been rewritten rather completely
indeed. They join Reply-To: and Mail-Followup-To: dependent on
the context (i.e., *reply-to-honour*#533, *followup-to-honour*#425,
see "Mailing lists"#10 for the picture), and if they did, use
this list as the receivers exclusively. It now honours
*recipients-in-cc*#526 even for such addressees. (And now i wonder
whether i should have credited Paul Vojta for that.)
Also `Lreply' would have crashed for mails with Reply-To: but
without *reply-to-honour*#533 set. We now have a test.
Note *replyto* is obsoleted in favour of *reply-to*#532.
v14.9.0 ("Long-tailed tit"), 2017-07-16
---------------------------------------
This is a major feature release which took about ~22 months (24
less two) of development to complete, and which imposed massive
changes under the hood, but also quite a lot of user visible
changes, including some **backward incompatibilities**.
As usual, "s-nail -d" will show obsoletion warnings.
We gain noticeable improvements regarding scriptability and its
reliability, but also for interactive use cases, especially
notable to users is our completely new M(ailx)L(ine)E(ditor) that
supports rather real tabulator expansion and program-mode-context-
sensitive key bindings.
We now support macros with arguments, which can be `shift'ed,
a `return' status can be used, and a `vexpr' multiplexer offers
some arithmetic and string operations. `commandalias'es are
recursive, further command modifier prefixes, like `ignerr', give
a hand that we otherwise could not offer. In compose-mode the new
`~^' command escape allows some message and attachment access, and
can be used, e.g., to implement things like custom headers, and
has been especially designed for scripted access via the new
*on-compose-splice* and *on-compose-splice-shell* hooks.
S-nail will move (more or less) backward-incompatibly to sh(1)ell
compatible argument quoting (documented in "COMMANDS"), and an
increasing number of commands do support this already: new ones
exclusively, some old ones have either been switched (like
`localopts'), others -- noticeably `set' -- can be switched to the
new syntax with a `wysh' command modifier prefix. E.g.:
? define __xv {
# Be careful to choose sh(1)ell-style on _entire_ line!
localopts yes; wysh set verbose; ignerr eval "${@}"; return $?
}
? commandalias call echo boo-boo
? commandalias xv call __xv
? xv list
? commandalias xv '\'call __xv
? xv list
Calling the latter `xv' for `list' will give more detailed command
information, including which kind of argument is used.
I have not managed to implement the three features i have started
this development cycle for, these are thus subject to further
development, just like wysh for message-list argument commands to
support, e.g., negation, wysh for `if' and consorts, the --
terminator to finally overcome the ridiculous requirement to quote
entire shell commands filenames for commands like `pipe.
And and and.

NOTES, ChangeLog (packager-affine)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* This release brings some backward incompatibilities, outlined
in the following. Most users will not be affected, and we have
added a lot of compatibility cruft, but that will vanish in v15.
"$ s-nail -v"!
* The configuration and build system has changed.
Packagers have received updated package files.
o Anything which was WANT_xy before is now OPT_xy, and
compiled-in paths and values, like PREFIX or PAGER, have
gained a VAL_ prefix (thus VAL_PREFIX and VAL_PAGER).
This is _not_ true for non-persistent or environmental values,
e.g., DESTDIR, CC, etc., and also not for the overwritable
program variables during configuration, e.g., $awk.
o SENDMAIL -> VAL_MTA, SENDMAIL_PROGNAME -> VAL_MTA_ARGV0,
MAILSPOOL -> VAL_MAIL.
And NAIL -> VAL_MAILX, though this is still a lie.
o The make system now needs config..build..install or
all..install or tangerine (config..build..test..install).
Some constants which some experts may want to fine-tune have
been moved to config.h. Usual adjustments+doc via make.rc.
o The `build' phase can be parallelized by setting the $MAKEJOBS
environment variable, e.g., "make MAKEJOBS=-j4 build".
Note this variable is not tracked in the configuration.
(Gaetan Bisson)
o Unless DESTDIR is set an uninstallation script will be
installed along with the rest (see INSTALL file for more).
o Set the new OPT_CROSS_BUILD to avoid feature runtime tests,
only compile- and link-availability will be tested. (Juan RP)
o VERBOSE is implemented straight, but must be given at
configuration time in order to become honoured.
(William Yodlowsky)
o ADDCFLAGS / ADDLDFLAGS -> EXTRA_CFLAGS / EXTRA_LDFLAGS.
o The LD_LIBRARY_PATH etc. building processes will skip any path
which contains the string "fakeroot". (Hilko Bengen)
o We honour a set $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH#634 environment variable to
an extend that allows reproducible tests, which is why the
repository gained a [test-out] branch with some expected plain
text outputs. (reproducible-builds.org; Colin Watson)
The new *log-prefix*#455 variable aids in improving the
reproducibility of error messages.
o These are upward compatible changes.
* "make OPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000 all" should work.
* Internal and environment variables are now explicitly _defined_
and _tracked_ after variable handling has been rewritten
completely. Notes:
o This means that, e.g., "$ password=NOT_SECRET s-nail" will
**NOT** work no more, since *password*#498 is an internal
variable!
o But if you do, e.g., "? set TMPDIR=~/tmp", then this will
also be reflected in the program environment (it is an
environment variable) and thus affect child processes.
o Therefore we no longer have `setenv' and `unsetenv'.
o To integrate any other environment variable transparently
into our variable management, the new command `environ'#189
needs to be used, e.g., "? environ set NEWVAR=value" or
"? environ link EXISTINGVAR".
- -H#68 and -L#71 have been decoupled:
it used to be -e#65 -L#71 instead!
- *NAIL_{HEAD,TAIL}* have been obsoleted in favour of
*message-inject-head*#465 and *message-inject-tail*#466.
*NAIL_HIST{FILE,SIZE}* have been obsoleted in favour of
*history-file*#436 and *history-size*#439.
*NAIL_EXTRA_RC* has been obsoleted in favour of
*mailx-extra-rc*#459.
*batch-exit-on-error* has been obsoleted by *errexit*#413, which
works just like the POSIX sh(1)ell "set -e" construct; the
`ignerr'#125 command modifier (`-' for command escapes in compose
mode, and see below) can be used to ignore command errors even
then. (This will remain even if we at some later time will
support at least some of the sh(1) constructs which "swallow"
failures with set -e.)
*bsdannounce* is obsolete, the feature is integrated in
*header*#432 as this is much more useful. (This is however also
dependent upon the also new but well-known $POSIXLY_CORRECT#631
<> *posix*#513, but that is just how it is; these affect more
behaviour, and increasing.)
- Colour support has been changed backward in- and upward (from
user interface side) compatibly, see the manual section
"Coloured display"#18.
+ New commands: `colour'#160 and `uncolour'#161.
You can define context-sensitive, terminal-capability-
sensitive settings, e.g.:
if terminal && [ "$features" =% +colour ]
colour iso view-header ft=bold,fg=magenta,bg=cyan
colour 256 view-header ft=bold,fg=208,bg=230 subject,from
colour mono view-header ft=bold
colour mono view-header ft=bold,ft=reverse subject,from
endif
+ The variable *colour-pager*#395 defines whether colour and font
attribute sequences should be generated when viewing something
in $PAGER#629.
+ Set the variable *colour-disable*#394 to turn colour off
without affecting established settings.
+ It is deduced via termcap(5) (see below) whether the terminal
supports colors, e.g., "$ s-nail -Stermcap=Co#256".
This is also true if we don't have termcap support.
+ Support for 256-colour terminals. (Gavin Troy)
- `source'#280 series support shell pipes if the last character
of the "filename" ends with a vertical bar |, e.g.,
? source 'gpg -qd ~/.s-nailrc-private.gpg |'
- Shell pipes are also supported as targets for `move'#232,
`copy'#165 etc., yet unfortunately not with via a sh(1)ell token
parser, so that the target still has to be a single argument.
? copy . '| cat; echo huhu'
- Support for custom headers via the new `~^'#319 compose-mode
command escape and in addition, or alternatively, with the
internal variable *customhdr*#403, which also can be covered by
`localopts'#217. (Sergey Matveev)
+ Support of $ORGANIZATION has been dropped.
+ Command escape `~e'#325 supports _any_ header.
+ Command escape `~^'#319 supports _any_ header.
- New -:#55 command line option can be used to more easily select
which startup files should be loaded, e.g., -:/ loads none.
(Robert Elz)
- `account'#140s and *folder-hook*#421s now have `localopts'#217
enabled by default.
- A first simple form of compose-mode hooks has been implemented:
*on-compose-enter*#488, *on-compose-leave*#489 and
*on-compose-cleanup*#487 can be set to macros which get invoked
at appropriate times.
For the `resend'#261 series there is *on-resend-enter*#496 and
*on-resend-cleanup*#495: this is very likely to change once
true message access is possible even in this mode.
An even more powerful mechanism is available via the also new
*on-compose-splice*#490 and *on-compose-splice-shell*#491 hooks.
These are executed in child processes and communicate with the
parent via their standard input and output, and therefore can
do anything and act as if they were the user.
`localopts'#217 are enabled and cannot be disabled (and extend
until the message is sent).
(Jens Schleusener, Rudolf Sykora)
? set on-compose-splice=ocs
? define ocs {
read ver
echo Splice protocol version is $ver
echo '~^header list'
read hl; vput vexpr es substring "${hl}" 0 1
if [ "$es" != 2 ]
echoerr 'Failed to read header list, bailing out'
echo '~x'
elif [ "$hl" @i!% ' cc' ]
echo '~^header insert cc Diet is your <mirr.or>'
read es; vput vexpr es substr "${es}" 0 1
if [ "$es" != 2 ]
echoerr 'Failed to insert Cc:, bailing out'; echo '~x'
end
end
}
- "The .netrc file"#37
+ gained support for comments.
(Walter Alejandro Iglesias, Ralph Corderoy)
+ `netrc'#236 now has a "load" subcommand.
+ the new *netrc-pipe*#482 obsoletes OPT_AGENT and
*agent-shell-lookup*, and can be used to load an encrypted
.netrc file, e.g.:
? set netrc-lookup netrc-pipe='gpg -qd ~/.netrc.gpg'
I.e., this is in usual .netrc syntax and thus possibly much
nicer than saying "? source 'gpg -qd ~/.credentials.gpg |'".
- termcap(5) / terminfo(5) support has been changed backward in-
and upward (from user interface side) compatibly, please read
"On terminal control and line editor"#17.
+ OPT_TERMCAP is by default enabled.
The new, by default enabled, configuration option
OPT_TERMCAP_VIA_TERMINFO can be used to (try to) use
terminfo(5) instead.
+ The variable *termcap*#581 can be used to freely define or
override terminal capabilities, and *termcap-disable*#583 will
disable interaction with the chosen library, leaving only
*termcap* in charge.
To use the so-called ca-mode on supporting terminals,
effectively turning S-nail into a fullscreen application,
*termcap-ca-mode*#582 must be set.
+ The built-in line editor has been rather completely rewritten
to be the Mailx-Line-Editor (OPT_MLE, default yes), and
supports wide glyphs (if possible), infinite line lengths
(2 GB) and more. Tabulator expansion is no longer an option
(but needs fnmatch(3)).
+ Optionally (OPT_KEY_BINDINGS, default yes) it has become
possible to freely define key bindings for the MLE via the new
`bind'#149 and `unbind'#150 commands. These key bindings can
make use of termcap(5) and/or terminfo(5) names. The MLE will
install a set of default bindings (unless there is a set
*line-editor-no-defaults*#454), more so with OPT_TERMCAP,
i.e., try "? bind*".
Sufficient support provided, one can now, e.g., type "p " and
then collect the message numbers to type, scrolling forward
and backward via key-bindings, without losing the line
content, then commit the final line.
+ OPT_EDITLINE and OPT_READLINE support have been dropped.
The new MLE should not miss anything. Does it?
Tip: in an UTF-8 locale try "? !touch /tmp/hall{,öchen}" and
then autocomplete that: once, then ^Q, and again.
- `source'#280 can be used in `call'#151ed macros.
What sounds so innocent replaced an entire machinery and got rid
of a brilliant idea of Kurt Shoens from the 70s, but which never
worked with Nail/Heirloom extensions, namely macros, and in the
right order.
Accompanying this -X#86 can (dig multiline arguments and can) be
used to define macros and run them etc. Should work:
$ s-nail -X'define x {' -Xversion -Xx -X'}' -X'call x'
$ s-nail -X'source \' -X'"echo version|"' -Xx
Macros can be `undefine'#171d from within themselves, and re-
`define'#170d. It is still not possible to define macros
from within macros, and/or have inner macros, not to talk
about local scoping or anything more sophisticated such.
- -u#83 / $LOGNAME#622 ($USER) handling has been redefined,
and "-u USER" is now exactly the same as "-f %USER", and
$LOGNAME (and $USER) is actively set to the active user. (Afan)
$LOGNAME#622 is POSIX standardized and henceforth used and
preferred over $USER, which came from BSD. (Todd C. Miller)
- In the future (at least non-message-list) argument handling will
be changed backward-incompatibly to be sh(1)ell compatible (and
thus POSIX standardized), see "Shell-style argument quoting"#23.
New commands use it already today (`bind'#149, `colour'#160,
`headerpick'#208), some others (most importantly, `set'#268) can
be forced to do so via the new `wysh'#130 command prefix, as in:
? wysh set message-inject-tail=$'\n--steffen'
? bind base $'\cA,\x61' 'echo control-A and small a'
- We now actively manage *umask*#602: 0077 by default, but an
empty string will use the setting that is active upon startup.
Just like changes to (known) environment variables, this setting
will also be inherited by any child process.
(Walter Alejandro Iglesias)
- Anything SENDMAIL / *sendmail*-ish has been renamed to *mta*#474,
*mta-arguments*#476, *mta-no-default-arguments*#477 and
*mta-argv0*#479.
The reason is that in v15 we won't even have *smtp*: it is just
another form of MTA, and thus obsolete by itself.
Note that *mta-arguments* is now parsed via the shell-token
parser, so the following ends up exactly as desired.
? set mta-arguments='-t -X "/tmp/my log"'
For now we support a hack that understands a file:// URL in
*mta*, too, but that is also the default if there is no protocol.
E.g.: "? set mta=smtp://a:b@xy.z"
- The "spamd" *spam-interface*#568 is obsolete. I haven't tested
it since my main machine died, it is error prone since it assumes
internals of the spamassassin wire protocol, and there never was
a speed improvement over "spamc". (However it could react upon
the "is-spam" state of a message, which "spamc" doesn't allow.)
- The new *inbox*#447 variable will henceforth be looked up when
searching for a primary system mailbox (as in "? File %"),
followed by the usual $MAIL#623 and compile-time defined local
mailspool search. (Stephen Isard, Jürgen Daubert)
- The semantic of -a#57 and `~@'#317 have been changed, and both
commands now use the same syntax:
-a file[=input-charset[#output-charset]]
- New "failinvaddr" keyword for *expandaddr*#415.
- We finally "can" the so-called (by myself) "Dr. Problem" (a bit):
(Dr. Werner Fink)
$ </dev/null s-nail -d:/ -sTrödler 'Dr. D. Iet <z@a.k>' 2>&1 |\
grep To:
s-nail: >>> To: "Dr. D. Iet" <z@a.k>
This can be done via the new `addrcodec'#142, too, note this
supports multiple modes (and the `vput'#129 command modifier):
$ echo 'addrcodec e Dr. Diet <t...@fu.soj> Curd' | s-nail -#:/
"Dr. Diet Curd" <t...@fu.soj>
- All commands with the string "codec" in their name use different
argument quoting, namely none at all, please read
"Raw data arguments for codec commands"#25.
This means that `urlcodec'#298 (and `imapcodec'#661) has
slightly changed semantics.
And, while here: there is a new `shcodec'#270, too.
- We gained "Command modifiers"#21: `\'#124 (avoid expansion of
`commandalias'#162es), `vput'#129 (store result in variable),
`ignerr'#125 (ignore an error of the following command, even
if the new *errexit*#413 is set), `wysh'#130 (use shell-style
arguments).
$ echo 'vput cwd resvar;echo $resvar' | s-nail -#:/
/home/steffen/src/nail.git
And the usual sh(1) stuff: `return'#263, `shift'#274, `eval'#191,
plus a `xcall'#306 stack-avoidance optimization (to be used in
place of a `call'#151 which would be the last called command).
And an "expr(1) like thing", yet simple, `vexpr'#302.
$ echo 'vexpr + 1 2' | s-nail -#:/
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000011
03 | 0x3 | 3
$ echo 'vput vexpr resvar + 1 2;echo $resvar' | s-nail -#:/
3
We actually start walking (*?*#347, *^*#349).
? vput vexpr res regex 'bananarama' 'Bana(.+)' '\$1\$0'
? echo $?/$^ERRNAME :$res:
1/NODATA ::
? vput vexpr res iregex 'bananarama' '(.+)rama' '\$1\$0'
? echo $?/$^ERRNAME :$res:
0/NONE :bananabananarama:
The command `vpospar'#303 can be used to manage the stack of
positional parameters, i.e., much like "set --".
It also offers the possibility to save and restore the stack to
and from variables. Etc.
Btw., to contact the maintainer (make.rc variables
VAL_CONTACT_WEB and VAL_CONTACT_MAIL):
? echo $contact-web; eval mail $contact-mail
- `if'#214 no longer performs automatic number conversion, we
use the explicit -lt, -gt etc. syntax of the sh(1).
Note: `if' will change to be almost identical to sh(1) if(1),
so please ensure proper test bracketing, even if it is less
convenient.
Moreover, the default string comparison mode has changed to
case-sensitive, just like in the shell. This is because in the
future this crux with trigger characters will vanish and `if'
etc. will simply slurp in already expanded shell tokens, it will
act like the shell in that respect. We have modifiers, though,
yet only "@i" for case-insensitivity, also for regex matches:
LC_ALL=C
i=`LC_ALL=C.utf8 s-nail -:/ -# -X '
\define cset_test {
\if [ "${ttycharset}" @i=% utf ]
\echo $LC_ALL
\xit 0
\end
\if [ "${#}" -gt 0 ]
\wysh set LC_ALL=${1}
\shift
\eval xcall cset_test "${@}"
\end
\xit 1
}
\call cset_test C.UTF-8 POSIX.utf8 POSIX.UTF-8 \
en_EN.utf8 en_EN.UTF-8 en_US.utf8 en_US.UTF-8
'`
[ $? -eq 0 ] && UTF8_LOCALE=$i
Please note the `eval' in 'eval xcall cset_test "${@}". This is
a difference of S-nail/mailx and the sh(1)ell that will remain,
as documented in "COMMANDS"#20: whereas the shell implements
a language and performs standardized expansions on the line
until finally the command is called, S-nail will decide the type
of command line parsing dependent on the seen command, and will
then perform a single expansion. Therefore "${@}" will expand
to multiple arguments if $# is greater 0, but it will expand to
the empty string otherwise, which is not furtherly expanded away
since it is meaningless like it is in the shell: therefore $#
will be 1 (the empty string) not 0.
- Using an explicit proto:// prefix should get you the desired
thing apart of *newfolders*#483, e.g.:
? File maildir:///tmp/x.mdir
? copy * file:///tmp/x.mbox
- New variable *record-files*#528 can be set to extend the meaning
of *record*#527. *record-resent*#529 was there already.
- New variable *ifs*#443 acts a bit like the sh(1)ell's $IFS for,
e.g., the new `read'#250 command.
There is a `readctl'#253 command which can be used to manage
the active channel used by `read'#250.
- The `~' alias for `call'#151 is gone.
- `mimetype'#224 only allows specification of a single type per
call, on the other hand no need to quote that.
- `mimeview'#226 must now be used explicitly to look at any
non-text MIME part, for normal display etc. purposes we only
support "copiousoutput"#649 MIME handlers.
- New *socks-proxy*#567 can be used to proxy all network traffic
over a SOCKS5 proxy. (Gaetan Bisson)
ChangeLog
^^^^^^^^^
- The manual has seen another major overhaul, all the variables
are now documented in a single, sorted list, and many
clarifications should have been added. I hope it has become
a better read.
(Predrag Punosevac, Michael Convey, Hariskar, Rudolf Sykora,
Respiranto, Thomas Dickey, Donald Mugnai)
- To support RFC 1524 a.k.a. .mailcap files (see below) many
"trigger"-characters have been added for *pipe-TYPE/SUBTYPE*#500,
which may (rarely) affect existing values.
The .mailcap support itself is not yet implemented.
- *mime-counter-evidence*#470 gained bit 4 (perform proper in-depth
content inspection as necessary; set to 0xE for all bits).
(Aharon Robbins)
- Maildir paths are now created recursively as necessary.
(Justin Ellingwood)
- -M#72 and -m#73 options have been added to enforce a special
send mode that will flag standard input / the given file with
the specified / detected MIME 'Content-Type:'. This can be used
to directly send, e.g., HTML log output.
(Viktor Szépe, Ralph Corderoy)
- Disallow symlinks on writable files. Note this requires
O_NOFOLLOW support for the operating-system-call open(2), but
which has been standardized a long time ago.
(Matthew Dillon)
- `retain'#262, `ignore'#215 etc. now differentiate in between
From (the From: header) and From_ (the MBOX ident).
In fact we now have a new `headerpick'#208 command which
is a multiplexer for all retain and ignore lists used, call it
without arguments to see the current setting(s).
In v15 only `headerpick' and the standard-imposed wrappers
`retain' and `ignore' will remain, all other wrappers will
vanish. Regular expressions can now be used if available:
? headerpick
headerpick type retain blahblahblah cc date from \
mail-followup-to message-id openpgp reply-to subject to \
user-agent
#headerpick type ignore currently covers no fields
#headerpick save retain currently covers no fields
headerpick save ignore '^Original-.*$' '^X-.*$' '^DKIM.*$'
headerpick forward retain cc date from list-id \
mail-followup-to openpgp reply-to subject to
#headerpick forward ignore currently covers no fields
- `top'#290 has been rewritten completely, `Top'#289 is new.
It uses a built-in set of retain/ignore headers, but it is
possible to register a custom set via `headerpick'#208.
Also, *toplines*#598 has been extended a bit and the new
*topsqueeze*#599 variable may pimp your `top' experience.
? headerpick top retain add subject
? top
[-- Message 1 -- 87 lines, 4791 bytes --]:
Subject: Re: I can't dist to myself
I wrote:
3.22. bounce_delivered
- `features' has been dropped, `version'#301 extended.
- The *prompt*#515 handling has changed: we lost the capability to
expand \?, \@ and \$, instead new "private" variables *?*#347,
*account*#360, *mailbox-resolved*#457 and
*mailbox-display*#456 have been introduced, and the prompt
is completely shell expanded (thus twice with `wysh' or in v15),
as if dollar-single-quote quoted. We do support the reverse-
solidus escaped bracket notation for embedding characters which
should not be counted when calculating the width of the prompt.
The `colour'#160 command has a slot for the prompt colour.
We gained *prompt2*#516 as a second level prompt.
? var prompt
wysh set \
prompt='?\${?}!\${!}[\${account}#\${mailbox-display}]? '
- The filename "-" can be used as a receiver, e.g.,
$ echo Hey,\ you | s-nail -:/ -Sexpandaddr -sUB -
- The -s#80 command line option, the `~s'#339 command escape
as well as the corresponding slots of `~^'#319 will actively
strip [\r\n] from their value (Debian #419840).
- New `read'#250 and `echoerr'#182 commands, mostly for
*on-compose-splice*#490.
But also `echon'#183 and `echoerrn'#184, which do not write
a trailing newline.
- New variable *r-option-implicit*#525 may be helpful to those
who regulary need the functionality of the -r#78 command
line option. (Felipe Gasper, Martin Neitzel)
- By using new "pseudo-URLs" one can automatize the use of S/MIME
keys / (certificates / intermediate include certificates) with
passwords. E.g., to drive b...@exam.ple, set
*smime-sign-cert-...@exam.ple* to the private key / certificate
pair as usual, the password lookup will then be performed for
b...@exam.ple.smime-cert-key, b...@exam.ple.smime-cert-cert and
b...@exam.ple.smime-include-certs.
Like this the password can be stored in an encrypted .netrc file
when *netrc-lookup*#481 and *netrc-pipe*#482 are set, or it may
be stored in an encrypted resource file that has been loaded via
`source'#280 as a simple *password*#498 variable.
Note that the prompting that happens as a last resort of
password lookup will still interfere with a possibly running
$PAGER#629 instance, dependent on the setting of *crt*#402, of
course. Proper job control handling and recognizing that we are
running $PAGER when doing that prompt is a TODO for v15. Sorry.
- Some commands, like `set'#268, `help'#211, `list'#216,
`mlist'#227 etc., now react upon the setting of *verbose*#605
and(/or) *debug*#406.
- `write'#305 uses iconv(3) as appropriate.
- *mbox-rfc4155*#462 has first been dropped, and was then
reintroduced with different semantics. Because, it can be
helpful if a messed up MBOX is read, in which case we henceforth
will warn you and point you to this:
? define mboxfix {
\localopts yes; \wysh set mbox-rfc4155;\
\wysh File "${1}"; \eval copy * "${2}"
}
? call mboxfix /tmp/bad.mbox /tmp/good.mbox
P.S. Here you see how weird the current thing still is, in v15:
? define mboxfix {
localopts yes; set mbox-rfc4155; File "${1}"; copy * -- "${2}"
}
And also in v15 we will not apply (proper) so-called MBOXO
quoting, but instead (simply MIME) re-encode mail messages.
- `call_if'#152 is new and, different to "? ignerr call", silent
and not messing with the return status.
- The new *smime-ca-flags*#552 and *ssl-ca-flags*#? can be used
to fine-tune X509_STORE_set_flags(3) a.k.a the X509 CA
certificate verification.
? set ssl-ca-flags=partial-chain
? wysh set smime-ca-flags="${ssl-ca-flags}"
Also, *ssl-curves*#? for TLSv1.3.
- Socket connections use TLS S(erver)N(ame)I(ndication) as
appropriate (RFC 7817).
- `alternates'#145 checks arguments and supports `vput'#129.
It by default no longer replaces but appends alternates, unless
*posix*#513 mode is active. There is a new `unalternates'#146
command to remove alternates.
- A new `charsetalias'#155 command. (Pietro Cerutti, mutt#3925)
- New commands `filetype'#195 and `unfiletype'#196: in the future
we will no longer know any builtin filetypes, in fact we already
simulate .gz etc. via the new mechanism as necessary:
? filetype \
bz2 'bzip2 -dc' 'bzip2 -zc' \
gpg 'gpg -d' 'gpg -e' \
gz 'gzip -dc' 'gzip -c' \
xz 'xz -dc' 'xz -zc' \
zst 'zstd -dc' 'zstd -19 -zc' \
zst.pgp 'gpg -d | zstd -dc' 'zstd -19 -zc | gpg -e'
- `~<'#314 now offers a "- [HERE-delimiter]" mode for pasting etc.
(Ralph Corderoy)
- `exit'#192 and `quit'#249 take an optional exit status.
(That is not fixated yet, though.)
- We have a useful -h / --help output. (Doug McIlroy)
- *encoding* obsoleted in favour of new *mime-encoding*#471, which
now defaults to base64.
- *allnet*#362 now works (broken since nail 10.00, 2002-09-29).

$ git log --oneline --reverse --topo-order --merges OLD..NEW
# Same, but truly accessible:
$ git log --oneline --reverse --topo-order --merges --parents OLD..NEW |
while read c1 c2 c3 c4 c5 c6; do
printf "%-24s: \$ git log --oneline --no-merges %s ^%s\n" \
"${c6}" "${c1}" "${c2}";
