- preallocate child struct, since the signal handler can be called before
wait_child, and we cannot allocate a child struct there. there is a signal
race still here if the program exits and the signal handler is called before
we allocate the struct.
across setjmp/longjmp.
Inspired by PR 41255 from Kurt Lidl, but this change makes "com" a
volatile pointer to const non-volatile data, whereas the PR made it a
non-volatile pointer to const volatile data.
- Remove all longjmp(3) calls from signal handlers. Instead, we post
to an internal signal queue and check that periodically. All signal
related code is now in sig.c, except for the SIGCHLD handler which
remains in popen.c as it is intimately tied to routines there.
- Handle SIGPIPE in type1() regardless of mime support, or else the
handler in execute() will prevent our error code from being returned
resulting in 'sawcom' not being set on the first command as it should.
This only affected the initial behavior of the "next" command without
mime support.
- Add the 'T' flag to many commands in cmdtab.c that should not look
like the first command. E.g., start mail on a mailbox with multiple
messages, run "set foo", then "next", and watch the second message get
displayed rather than the first as is the case without the first "set"
command.
- Add file descriptor and file handle leak detection. Enabled by
DEBUG_FILE_LEAK. This will likely disappear in the future.
- Fix a long standing (since import in 1993) longjmp() bug in
edstop(): the jmpbuf was invalid when quit() is called at the end of
main.
- Fix a long standing bug (since import in 1993) in snarf() where it
didn't strip whitespace correctly if the line consisted only of
whitespace.
- Lint cleanup.
- New Feature: "Header" command. This allows miscellaneous header
fields to be added to the header, e.g., "X-Organization:" or
"Reply-To:" fields.
- New Feature: "page-also" variable. This allows the specification of
additional commands to page. It is more flexible than "crt".
- Document the "pager-off" variable: if set, it disables paging
entirely.
display state, i.e., hidden/exposed tags or threads. This fixes at
least two problems:
- If the current message is a duplicate that is deleted by the "deldups"
command, then the dot was invalid making all messages appear to have
been deleted. It is now set to the surviving duplicate message.
- If the current message is tagged, the "hidetags" command would leave
the dot invalid and the dislay would reset it at the top of the
current screen. It is now set the the first untagged (and
not deleted) message after the previous (tagged) dot message.

hfield() to be decoded as if they were "unstructured" regardless of
their type. This resulted from calling mime_decode_hfield() with the
body of the header line, i.e., the portion after the colon header
field name terminator, rather than the full header line.
From Anon Ymous
- Add a "forward" command as requested by garbled@.
From the manpage:
forward
Takes a list of messages and prompts for an address (or
addresses) to forward each message to. If no message list is
specified, the current message is used. The mail editor is run
for each message allowing the user to enter a message that will
precede the forward message. The message is sent as a multi-
part/mixed MIME encoded message.
- Add the ability to match messages that do (or do not) contain a
header field. E.g., the command "f ! /Subject:" will display the
list of messages that are missing a "Subject" field.
- Teach savemail() to prefix fake headlines so the mbox doesn't get
broken.
- Fixed a couple of "bugs" in the attachment editing routine.
