Summary: This is an official patch for elm 2.2 system. Please apply it.
Priority: LOW
A recent fix for forms problems wrongly treated a filled in form as a
yet-to-be-filled form, causing problems when the user wanted to reply to it.
From: Rob Bernardo <clib!rob>
Fixed where pressing | to pipe a message when there is not any
mail caused a segmentation error signal to occur.
From: gatech!npiatl!dkelly (Dwight Kelly)
Added Patchlist file containing the record of which patch changed which
items. (From the patch headers)
From: Syd
Fix: From rn, say "| patch -p -N -d DIR", where DIR is your elm source
directory. Outside of rn, say "cd DIR; patch -p -N <thisarticle".
If you don't have the patch program, apply the following by hand,
or get patch (version 2.0, latest patchlevel).
After patching:
make
make install
If patch indicates that patchlevel is the wrong version, you may need
to apply one or more previous patches, or the patch may already
have been applied. See the patchlevel.h file to find out what has or
has not been applied. In any event, don't continue with the patch.
If you are missing previous patches they can be obtained from our:
archive server.

+ Fixes the signature code to work for fully qualified local addresses. Also
+ fixes the problem that signatures can't really be determined until after the

+ From: lll-tis!ames!mailrus!sharkey!b-tech.ann-arbor.mi.us!zeeff (Jon Zeeff)
+
+ Fixed several problems, mostly off-by-one errors and the missed

+ From: karl at archer.MorningStar.COM (Karl Fox)
+
+ Change command prompt on last page of message not to use
+ GetPrompt() which does timeouts.
+ From: Samuel Lam <uw-beaver!van-bc!skl>
+
+ The while loop for input of multi-line fields did not have curly braces around
+ the body, causing only the first statement to get executed. This caused the
+ user to get stuck until ^D was typed, and no data for that field was written
+ to the file. I also fixed the input routines a bit so forms work a little more
+ like the document says they do, though they're still not quite the same.
+ From: td2cad!mipos3!batie
+
+ mail_form() called mail() with a "NO" argument to tell it not to
+ add the Contains line; this caused the recipient of a Form to
+ not get it displayed in the nice readable format it's supposed
+ to be displayed in.
+ From: td2cad!mipos3!batie

+ Subject: elm 2.2 Patch #6
+ Priority: LOW
+
+ When you convert from printf to curses, you must remember that it treats
+ \n as a RAW \n, and that you must also send \r. Either that or make
+ sure the _col variable gets reset to the proper column.
+ From: jbuck at epimass.EPI.COM (Joe Buck)
+
+ Need to go leave raw mode before doing shell escapes and system() calls.
+ These changes of mode were accidentally removed when the builtin editor
+ was fixed by making it operate in raw mode.
+ From: Rob Bernardo <clib!rob>
+
+ Remove extra definition of whitespace from src/string2.c
+
+ Allow setvbuf not to exist, silently. It is for efficiency only.
+
+ Make termio routine code depend on TERMIO symbol not BSD symbol in src/init.c
+
+ The function remove_possible_trailing_spaces could 'spin backwards' over
+ a great deal more than its input.... consider the case that the input contained
+ nothing but whitespace characters. Also, the original nulls out every trailing
+ whitespace character, not just the first.
+ From: Randy Wright <convex!rwright>
+
+ Added missing routine name to usage call in newmail.
+
+
+ Subject: elm 2.2 Patch #5
+ Priority: LOW
+
+ This reinstates elm 2.1 functionality of saving a copy of an outbound
+ message by name only if the folder preexists, while keeping the new
+ functionality of allowing save-by-name to also occur regardless of
+ the preexistence of the folder.
+ From: Rob Bernardo <clib!rob>
+
+ Change Configure to use sgtty first if BSD and TERMIO first if not.
+ From: Syd
+
+
+ Subject: elm 2.2 Patch #4
+ Priority: Medium
+
+ Fix the pattern-matching feature of ~f/~m in the builtin editor
+ and fix the documentation for the builtin editor in the Reference Guide.
+ From: Rob Bernardo <clib!rob>
+
+ This fixes bug EB13, whereby if there was a Status: header for a message,
+ elm would lose track of status information (such as Priority:), because
+ a variable was reset with the Status info, rather than just or'ed with it.
+ From: Rob Bernardo <clib!rob>
+
+ This patch corrects some duplicate, unnecessary and conflicting declarations
+ of some curses functions, which show up when compiling with gcc.
+ These corrections were pointed out by Steve Simmons.
+ From: Rob Bernardo <clib!rob>
+
+ Fixed not having newmail print the "sender's" id/address
+ From bpa!att!hocpa!rusty Tue Apr 25 15:59:42 1989
+
+ One variable was used in place of another
+ From: Rob Bernardo <clib!rob>
+
+ This enables elm to properly expand ~/[path] and ~logname/[path];
+ formerly "~" and "~/" were both expanded as the current user's home
+ directory. Also fixes a bug in the expansion of environmental variables in
+ user-entered paths.
+ From: Rob Bernardo <clib!rob>
+
+
+ Subject: elm 2.2 Patch #3
+ Priority: LOW
+
+ This fixes a number of bugs with the builtin editor. (1) It used to use
+ stdio functions and not curses functions to write to the screen causing
+ the homebrew curses to loose track of where the cursor was - which
+ showed up when trying to back up over input, (2) the ~m and ~f commands
+ were nearly completely broken, (3) expanded addresses are displayed
+ under a wider range of appropriate circumstances, (4) the index screen
+ needed to be redrawn when the editor is killed by two interrupts. A related
+ curses bug was also fixed, and user messages in the builtin editor were
+ made consistent.
+ From: Rob Bernardo <clib!rob>
+
+
+ Subject: elm 2.2 Patch #2
+ Priority: MEDIUM
+
+ Added missing _utils dependency.
+
+ When you repeatedly 'c'hange folders and use '?' to display a list of
+ folder names, the list is preceded by a little help message. The first
+ time this occurs, everything is OK but subsequent uses of '?' cause (all
+ but the first line of) the message body to be repeated. The help
+ message grows and grows the more you use this feature.
+
+ This fixes a wrongly named variable (caused by copying a function and
+ not completing tailoring it to its new role). Found by Rob Healey.
+ From: Rob Bernardo <clib!rob>
+
+ This fixes a compiler warning "statement not reached". Found by Steve
+ Simmons. From: Rob Bernardo <clib!rob>
+
+ When checking to see if an address is in a list of addresses: (1) ignore
+ case, and (2) make sure the comparison is not just a random inclusion of
+ the address in an item of the list - it must match a whole number of
+ "atoms" at the right end of the item in the list. From: Rob Bernardo
+ <clib!rob>
+
+ Fix typo in newmail.1
+
+ Fix bug in resyncing and limit, we loose the Visible attribute, so
+ cancel the limit.
+
+ ELM did not reset its internal column counter at the ends of lines when
+ the user is composing a mail message with editor = "none". As a result,
+ elm echos a \r\n every 80th character the user types. Called NewLine so
+ the curses module will know to reset the column number.
+
+ Add some defines for Goulds and SV_INTERRUPT from Andy Linton at Newcastle.
+
+ On 4.3 BSD machines (this includes > Ultrix 2.0 and GOULD NP1) the
+ refreshing of the index etc. on receipt of new mail does not work on
+ the timeout. Essentially although the read in ReadCh is interrupted by
+ the alarm firing after the timeout the read continues and so the errno
+ is not set to EINTR.
+
+ Add BSD style USER to LOGNAME for folder lookup in readmsg
+
+ Enclosed are patches to ELM2.2 to make it usable for sites that
+ use 8-bit character sets like ISO8859. The support for character
+ classification at these sites is usually done by replacing the
+ ctype macros. These changes should be invisible to those using
+ ascii and result in better code (i.e. if(!isprint(c)) ... is better
+ than if ( (c < ' ') || (c > '~')) ... )
+ From: Marius Olafsson Internet: marius at rhi.hi.is
+ University of Iceland Non-MX: marius%rhi.hi.is at uunet.uu.net
+ UUCP: {mcvax,enea,uunet}!hafro!rhi!marius
+
+ Add secondary check for BSD sites on including utsname in gethostname when
+ host name is compiled in.
+
+
+ Subject: elm 2.2 Patch #1
+ Priority: LOW-MEDIUM
+
+ The alias seperator was changed to an equal sign from the colon character.
+ This change, however, wasn't made in the utils/mailrc.awk script.
+
+ The man page for answer(1l) still refered to '$home/.alias_hash'
+ and '...alias_data'.
+
+ fastmail had a printf statement which was not controlled by the debug flag.
+ The sympton was that arepdaemon kept echoing messages to the console.
+
+ removed use of the 'hp' register which is defined by the [nt]roff package as
+ a predefined general register, the current horizontal place on the input line.
+
+ Fixes the Elm-supplied gethostname() for the Xenix environment when the
+ system has been told to use the uname() call. The Configure script
+ correctly sets the defines, but the code wasn't using it correctly.
+
+ Fixed scanning for calendar entries with no mail.
+
+ Another attempt at the stop code, so many systems handle this differently.
+
+ Some cursor strings on some terminals were longer than SHORT allowed,
+ lengthen SHORT.
+
+
+ Subject: elm 2.2 Patch #0
+ Priority: Low
+
+ Somehow two large section of the Filter guide got deleted from the
+ official distribution as in comp.sources.unix. This fixes that. Those
+ that got the submission directly from dsinc do not have this problem.
+ This patch does not bump the revision number due to it not effecting
+ everybody.

+ Add Xenix 286 shell instructions to README
+
+ Change cast on init signal code.
+ From: root at cheviot.newcastle.ac.uk (Andy Linton)
+
+ Fixed default function return for one_liner_for.
+ From: karl at archer.MorningStar.COM (Karl Fox)
+
+ Change command prompt on last page of message not to use
+ GetPrompt() which does timeouts.
+ From: Samuel Lam <uw-beaver!van-bc!skl>
+
+ The while loop for input of multi-line fields did not have curly braces around
+ the body, causing only the first statement to get executed. This caused the
+ user to get stuck until ^D was typed, and no data for that field was written
+ to the file. I also fixed the input routines a bit so forms work a little more
+ like the document says they do, though they're still not quite the same.
+ From: td2cad!mipos3!batie
+
+ mail_form() called mail() with a "NO" argument to tell it not to
+ add the Contains line; this caused the recipient of a Form to
+ not get it displayed in the nice readable format it's supposed
+ to be displayed in.
+ From: td2cad!mipos3!batie

+ Priority: LOW
+
+ When you convert from printf to curses, you must remember that it treats
+ \n as a RAW \n, and that you must also send \r. Either that or make
+ sure the _col variable gets reset to the proper column.
+ From: jbuck at epimass.EPI.COM (Joe Buck)
+
+ Need to go leave raw mode before doing shell escapes and system() calls.
+ These changes of mode were accidentally removed when the builtin editor
+ was fixed by making it operate in raw mode.
+ From: Rob Bernardo <clib!rob>
+
+ Remove extra definition of whitespace from src/string2.c
+
+ Allow setvbuf not to exist, silently. It is for efficiency only.
+
+ Make termio routine code depend on TERMIO symbol not BSD symbol in src/init.c
+
+ The function remove_possible_trailing_spaces could 'spin backwards' over
+ a great deal more than its input.... consider the case that the input contained
+ nothing but whitespace characters. Also, the original nulls out every trailing
+ whitespace character, not just the first.
+ From: Randy Wright <convex!rwright>
+
+ Added missing routine name to usage call in newmail.
+
+
+ Subject: elm 2.2 Patch #5
+ Priority: LOW
+
+ This reinstates elm 2.1 functionality of saving a copy of an outbound
+ message by name only if the folder preexists, while keeping the new
+ functionality of allowing save-by-name to also occur regardless of
+ the preexistence of the folder.
+ From: Rob Bernardo <clib!rob>
+
+ Change Configure to use sgtty first if BSD and TERMIO first if not.
+ From: Syd
+
+
+ Subject: elm 2.2 Patch #4
+ Priority: Medium
+
+ Fix the pattern-matching feature of ~f/~m in the builtin editor
+ and fix the documentation for the builtin editor in the Reference Guide.
+ From: Rob Bernardo <clib!rob>
+
+ This fixes bug EB13, whereby if there was a Status: header for a message,
+ elm would lose track of status information (such as Priority:), because
+ a variable was reset with the Status info, rather than just or'ed with it.
+ From: Rob Bernardo <clib!rob>
+
+ This patch corrects some duplicate, unnecessary and conflicting declarations
+ of some curses functions, which show up when compiling with gcc.
+ These corrections were pointed out by Steve Simmons.
+ From: Rob Bernardo <clib!rob>
+
+ Fixed not having newmail print the "sender's" id/address
+ From bpa!att!hocpa!rusty Tue Apr 25 15:59:42 1989
+
+ One variable was used in place of another
+ From: Rob Bernardo <clib!rob>
+
+ This enables elm to properly expand ~/[path] and ~logname/[path];
+ formerly "~" and "~/" were both expanded as the current user's home
+ directory. Also fixes a bug in the expansion of environmental variables in
+ user-entered paths.
+ From: Rob Bernardo <clib!rob>
+
+
+ Subject: elm 2.2 Patch #3
+ Priority: LOW
+
+ This fixes a number of bugs with the builtin editor. (1) It used to use
+ stdio functions and not curses functions to write to the screen causing
+ the homebrew curses to loose track of where the cursor was - which
+ showed up when trying to back up over input, (2) the ~m and ~f commands
+ were nearly completely broken, (3) expanded addresses are displayed
+ under a wider range of appropriate circumstances, (4) the index screen
+ needed to be redrawn when the editor is killed by two interrupts. A related
+ curses bug was also fixed, and user messages in the builtin editor were
+ made consistent.
+ From: Rob Bernardo <clib!rob>
+
+
+ Subject: elm 2.2 Patch #2
+ Priority: MEDIUM
+
+ Added missing _utils dependency.
+
+ When you repeatedly 'c'hange folders and use '?' to display a list of
+ folder names, the list is preceded by a little help message. The first
+ time this occurs, everything is OK but subsequent uses of '?' cause (all
+ but the first line of) the message body to be repeated. The help
+ message grows and grows the more you use this feature.
+
+ This fixes a wrongly named variable (caused by copying a function and
+ not completing tailoring it to its new role). Found by Rob Healey.
+ From: Rob Bernardo <clib!rob>
+
+ This fixes a compiler warning "statement not reached". Found by Steve
+ Simmons. From: Rob Bernardo <clib!rob>
+
+ When checking to see if an address is in a list of addresses: (1) ignore
+ case, and (2) make sure the comparison is not just a random inclusion of
+ the address in an item of the list - it must match a whole number of
+ "atoms" at the right end of the item in the list. From: Rob Bernardo
+ <clib!rob>
+
+ Fix typo in newmail.1
+
+ Fix bug in resyncing and limit, we loose the Visible attribute, so
+ cancel the limit.
+
+ ELM did not reset its internal column counter at the ends of lines when
+ the user is composing a mail message with editor = "none". As a result,
+ elm echos a \r\n every 80th character the user types. Called NewLine so
+ the curses module will know to reset the column number.
+
+ Add some defines for Goulds and SV_INTERRUPT from Andy Linton at Newcastle.
+
+ On 4.3 BSD machines (this includes > Ultrix 2.0 and GOULD NP1) the
+ refreshing of the index etc. on receipt of new mail does not work on
+ the timeout. Essentially although the read in ReadCh is interrupted by
+ the alarm firing after the timeout the read continues and so the errno
+ is not set to EINTR.
+
+ Add BSD style USER to LOGNAME for folder lookup in readmsg
+
+ Enclosed are patches to ELM2.2 to make it usable for sites that
+ use 8-bit character sets like ISO8859. The support for character
+ classification at these sites is usually done by replacing the
+ ctype macros. These changes should be invisible to those using
+ ascii and result in better code (i.e. if(!isprint(c)) ... is better
+ than if ( (c < ' ') || (c > '~')) ... )
+ From: Marius Olafsson Internet: marius at rhi.hi.is
+ University of Iceland Non-MX: marius%rhi.hi.is at uunet.uu.net
+ UUCP: {mcvax,enea,uunet}!hafro!rhi!marius
+
+ Add secondary check for BSD sites on including utsname in gethostname when
+ host name is compiled in.
+
+
+ Subject: elm 2.2 Patch #1
+ Priority: LOW-MEDIUM
+
+ The alias seperator was changed to an equal sign from the colon character.
+ This change, however, wasn't made in the utils/mailrc.awk script.
+
+ The man page for answer(1l) still refered to '$home/.alias_hash'
+ and '...alias_data'.
+
+ fastmail had a printf statement which was not controlled by the debug flag.
+ The sympton was that arepdaemon kept echoing messages to the console.
+
+ removed use of the 'hp' register which is defined by the [nt]roff package as
+ a predefined general register, the current horizontal place on the input line.
+
+ Fixes the Elm-supplied gethostname() for the Xenix environment when the
+ system has been told to use the uname() call. The Configure script
+ correctly sets the defines, but the code wasn't using it correctly.
+
+ Fixed scanning for calendar entries with no mail.
+
+ Another attempt at the stop code, so many systems handle this differently.
+
+ Some cursor strings on some terminals were longer than SHORT allowed,
+ lengthen SHORT.
+
+
+ Subject: elm 2.2 Patch #0
+ Priority: Low
+
+ Somehow two large section of the Filter guide got deleted from the
+ official distribution as in comp.sources.unix. This fixes that. Those
+ that got the submission directly from dsinc do not have this problem.
+ This patch does not bump the revision number due to it not effecting
+ everybody.
