This is release 7.2.5 of the Mail User's Shell (mush).
Mush was last posted as a complete package at release 7.2.2. Before that,
the last complete posting was 7.1.1. If your version of mush is older
than 7.2.2, refer to README-7.0 and README-7.1 for lists of other changes.
See README-7.2.0 for changes from 7.1.1 to 7.2. Patch 3 was bugfixes only;
there was no README-7.2.3. See README-7.2.4 for a list of changes in both
patch 3 and patch 4.
Changes in compilation:
POP3_SUPPORT
Enable POP client mode by compiling with this defined. See README.
New files to support POP and DOT_LOCK have been added to the makefiles.
New/changed commands:
See the $metamail variable for changes in print/type/etc.
New/changed variables:
metamail
If $metamail is set to the pathname (and arguments) of a MIME
decoder (such as the "metamail" program), Mush will recognize
MIME messages and "page" them through that decoder instead of
through the regular $pager.
Tool mode changes:
Bug fixes only, see below.
Bugs fixed in Patch #5:
* Better parsing of double-quoted tokens in addresses
* Unsetenv allocates a new copy of the environment on first call
* Doesn't attempt to init tty if there isn't one
* #define CURSES in config.h (as opposed to in CFLAGS) should work
* On AIX, curses mode won't dump core
* Recognize more date formats, and store dates to resolution in seconds
for more accurate date sorting
* Tool mode "sort" menu "by value of sort variable" works now
* Better handling of X.400 addresses (heuristic for distinguishing them
from file names has been improved)
* Tool mode "save" pullright directory-walking menus work in all contexts
(I hope)
* Moved that silly piece of code that was setting $realname to the
spool folder path
* Code to init all hostname aliases for $hostname finally works right in
all cases
* Many improvements to DOT_LOCK; NFS "secure" lockfile creation
* ~user/$variable parses correctly and expands $variable
* Some compilation fixes for SGI IRIX
* Child-process management for pager process improved
* Support for POSIX_UTIME fixed
* "saveopts" of variables, aliases, etc. with embedded quotes of mixed
types does appropriate quoting of its output
