first beta version of nmh-0.28 available

1998-07-12 21:00:00
I've uploaded the first beta version of nmh-0.28
to the ftp site.

ftp://ftp.math.gatech.edu/pub/nmh/beta/nmh-0.28-pre1.tar.gz

I've been working on several things

1) I've changed many (but not all) calls to sprintf() and strcpy(),
   to snprintf() and strncpy().  This closes HUNDREDS of potential
   buffer overflow problems.  This is important for OS'es that
   require that `inc' is setuid or setgid.

2) All of the nmh commands that take multiple messages as arguments on
   the command line, will now take an unlimited number of commands
   line arguments.  So you can now use commands such as

   mark -add -seq foobar `pick`

   on folders with more than 1000 messages.  There are still a few
   places that are limited, but they shouldn't be a problem
   (for instance, the command `send' still takes a maximum of 1000
   command line arguments).

Please try out the new version, and report problems to:
