hypermail's Introduction

                             Hypermail

                          Version:  2.4.x

This is a release of the 2.4.x version of hypermail.

Hypermail is a program that takes a file of mail messages in UNIX mailbox
format and generates a set of cross-referenced HTML documents. 

SECURITY WARNING: 
   Do not put hypermail's output anyplace where a web server might have 
   server side includes (SSI) enabled unless you are sure you know what 
   you are doing. 

WARNING: 
   There once existed a program call "mail" that came with hypermail.
   'mail' utility has not installed by default for the last two years.  
   This program has been disabled because it was probably easy for spammers 
   to use as an open relay. It also had problems with enabling malicious 
   use of JavaScript and CRLF Injection.  The 'mail' utility is a historic 
   reclic and will not be supplied in future versions.  Its functionality 
   has been replaced with a warning that anyone using it should remove it 
   immediately.  

See the INSTALL file to get started. For a description of how to use it,
see the hypermail.html, hmrc.html, and hypermail-faq.html files that come
in the docs/ directory.
Please refer to Changelog for the list of recent changes.

Hypermail is distributed under the GNU GPL license (see the file COPYING for
details). Some programs that are distributed with it in the archive and
contrib directories have different licenses - check the individual files for
details.

Hypermail Background:
=====================

Hypermail was originally designed and developed by Tom Gruber for
Enterprise Integration Technologies (EIT) using Common Lisp. 

It was later rewritten in C by Kevin Hughes in 1994 while Kevin 
worked at EIT. 

License Evolution:
------------------

In the spring of 1997, Kevin Hughes heavily pressed Hewlett-Packard
(who was now the legal owner of Hypermail, since EIT was bought by
VeriFone, which was bought by Hewlett-Packard) into placing a free
software license onto his old EIT software.  They officially put the
GNU GPL license on *all* of Kevin's old EIT software, opening it up to
more open methods of development and distribution. So now Hypermail
is under GPL.

EIT's net.disappearance:
------------------------

A very old and established government contractor company called 
Electronic Instrumentation and Technology Inc. made legal moves to 
obtain the eit.com domain. Since VeriFone/HP had no interest in keeping 
EIT, dissolved it completely.  As this company had a trademark on EIT, 
the domain name was given to them. Elizabeth Batson of EIT/VeriFone/HP 
informed Kevin he could maintain all his old software himself wherever 
he wished to put it.

Kevin and ongoing Hypermail Development:
----------------------------------------

Kevin left Hewlett-Packard in 1997 and helped form a new company 
called Veo Systems (www.veosystems.com) with his old boss Marty 
Tenenbaum, who founded EIT. Kevin did not have the time to maintain 
any of his old software, so he was looking for different parties to 
help maintain it and take over different pieces. For instance, Getstats 
has been obsoleted by Analog (http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~sret1/analog/). 
SWISH has been taken over by the SWISH-E project 
(http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/SWISH-E/) and many people have been doing 
good things with it.  April 17, 1998 Kevin passed hypermail development 
to Kent Landfield (http://www.hypermail.org/). Kent had been 
supporting an enhanced version of hypermail he had been using for the 
last few years. It has gradually become a group effort, with Peter McCluskey
<[email protected]> often acting as the leader during its heydays. 
Since a couple of years, it is stable and mostly unmaintained. W3C continues
to contribute to this repository, although infrequently, sharing with the
community enhancements and bug fixes originating from its use of
hypermail.

General:
========

This version has been tested on the platforms listed below. If you would 
like to send portability patches or confirmation that it works on a certain
platform, please do.  There should not be toooo many changes that need to be 
made.

This version of hypermail has substantial support for attachments and for
splitting archives into subdirectories. It also allows an administrator to
customize the header and footers to match their local needs.  This allows
you to have hypermail facilities better integrated into your web site. 

This version is an integration of patches that Kevin had received through
the years, and new features through the individual efforts many people.  
This has been run through lint, Insight and Purify and has been cleaned up 
accordingly.

   * archive - general archive utilites that are useful in managing
               list archives. Much of the functionality here has been
               rendered obsolete by the folder_by_date option.
   * contrib - contributed hypermail relate utilities
   * configs - sample hypermail configuration files,
   * docs    - documentation and documentation support files,
   * libcgi  - support library for the mail utility,
   * src     - here's the beef,
   * tests   - directory for supporting local testing,

Warning:
========

Take the time to read the KNOWN_BUGS file so that you are aware of 
things that might affect your use of hypermail.

GIT Repository:
===============

Hypermail's code base has migrated from CVS to git and after a
residence at sourceforge, now resides at github:

  https://github.com/hypermail-project/hypermail/

CVS Server:
===========

The hypermail CVS repository has been retired. Hypermail's code base
now resides at github (see above).

Thanks to Ashley M. Kirchner <[email protected]> for having
hosted and keep alive the CVS repository during the years.

Getting Help:
=============

    There is no active dedicated mailing list for hypermail support or
    development.

    Please use hypermail's github repository issue tracker for all bug
    reports, feature requests, patches, and other program-related
    things. This project is under low-maintenance priority.

    You can browse the old hypermail development mailing list archives
    from the historical hypermail project homepage:

hypermail's Issues

Critmail features (fine-grained links, txt2html style html,

Merges the following features from Critmail:
set_linkquotes, BFALSE, CFG_SWITCH:
Set this to On to create fine-grained links from quoted
text to the text where the quote originated. It also improves
the threads index file by more accurately matching messages
with replies. Note that this may be rather cpu intensive (see
the searchbackmsgnum option to alter the performance).

set_showhtml, INT, CFG_INTEGER:
Adds a new choice for more complex conversion to html similar to that in
http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~seth/txt2html/.

set_monthly_index, BFALSE, CFG_SWITCH:
Set this to On to create additional index files broken up by month.
A summary.html file will provide links to all the monthly indices.

set_yearly_index, BFALSE, CFG_SWITCH:
Set this to On to create additional index files broken up by year.
A summary.html file will provide links to all the yearly indices.

set_thread_file_depth, INT, CFG_INTEGER:
If nonzero, break the threads index file into files,
with the initial message of each thread in the main index file
along with links to files containing the replies. Setting this
to 1 creates one file for each thread that has replies, and is
recommended for archives with over a few hundred messages.
Setting this greater than 1 will produce multiple levels of files
for each thread whose replies are nested by more than 1 level,
but that is rarely useful.

set_link_to_replies, NULL, CFG_STRING:
If the linkquotes option is on, specifying a string here
causes it to generate links from original quoted text the
location(s) in replies which quote them. The string
is used to display the link.

set_quote_hide_threshold, INT, CFG_INTEGER:
If the linkquotes option is on, setting this to an
integer less than 100 will cause it to replace quoted
text with one-line links if the percent of lines in the
message body (exluding the signature) consisting of
quoted text exceeds the number indicated by this option.

set_quote_link_string, NULL, CFG_STRING:
If the quote_hide_threshold option is being used, the
quote_link_string will be used if available to display the
link that replaces the quoted text. If no string is specified
here, the first line of each section ofquoted text will used.

See http://www.hypermail.org/hypermail//mail-archive/1999/Sep/0064.html
for more detail. This patch was created on June 25, 2000.

Review broken links in documentation

README[.md] points to two URLs that seem broken:

Either remove those URLs, or find their current incarnation.

(There might be more broken links; I've looked at those in the README only.)

reverse order vs First message in mailbox does not match fir

Just installed hypermail 2.3.0 on Linux. Was using 2.1.4.
Whenever I run hypermail on an mbox, it gives me this:
First message in mailbox does not match first message in archive or obsolete gdbm file present.
Not using gdbm.
After checking a few things out, my hypothesis is this: I run it with reverse=1, so the most recent email appears at the top of the index.html page. This is opposite to the mailbox, where the most recent email is at the end of the file. (But the oldest email archive is 0000.html.)
Could this be what is going on here? If so, what do you suggest?
Thank you,
Ron

Cannot overwrite archive files without appending

There is an issue with the way that archives are being overwritten. I have the overwrite directive set to 'On' and the increment directive set to '0'. Having increment = 0 should overwrite the archives with the contents of the mbox. This would be equivalent to setting increment to 'Off' in version 2.2.0 (and earlier).

However, what occurs is the following output:

> hypermail: First message in mailbox does not match first message in archive
> or obsolete gdbm file present.
> Maybe you want to enable the mbox_shortened option?

I do not require the use of the mbox_shortened option, as I am not changing the contents of the mbox. I simply want to overwrite the entire archive. Setting the increment directive to '1' or '-1' causes the entire contents of the mbox to be appended to the existing archive. There needs to be a way to simply overwrite the archive with the exact same contents of the mbox, as with earlier versions of hypermail.

Please let me know if there is any additional information required.

Help setting up Hypermail ???

Hello,
I was hoping to contact someone who could help
me setup HTML Hypermail on my website to have a
small foreum for tracking messages. I am not a
programmer and it seems a bit deep to me. I
downloaded and read most of the documents on
the hypermail.org site but again, it seems just a little
bit over my head.
Thanks for your consideration.

hypermail fails to null terminate the charset name when copying

In some cases, hypermail will fail to null terminate the charset name when copying it, resulting in bogus charset names.

Modernise docs and helper files; adapt to GH

A few things in the codebase and the documentation look odd in the GH world: there's no .gitignore, the license is more commonly called LICENSE[.md], projects tend to format documentation using Markdown instead of 90's plain-text indentation…

On a more meaningful note, if the code is to evolve it would be more inviting to new contributors if it made use of continuous integration tools that are popular on the GHverse, eg Travis; if it had a test suite, etc.

The suggestions given by Forkability may be a good starting point.

hypermail segfaults when all messages are excluded

In some cases, when all new messages are excluded, hypermail will segfault because of a null pointer.

Attachments not deleted using filter_out

Problem: attachments are created for filter[ed]_out messages

To reproduce the problem:

i) create a mbox file with name "mymbox" with 2 messages:
. message 1 with Subject: a
. message 2 with Subject: b

ii) ( message 2 has an atachment )

iii) create the following .hmrc file:

showheaders=0
filter_out=Subject: b
delete_level = 0

iv) run hypermail with the following comamnd:

hypermail -p -u -x -d whatever -m mymbox

v) Expected output: no attachments files created by hypermail in directory whatever

vi) Actual output: an attachment file is created for message b in directory whatever

vii) what is wrong? message b was filtered out, so no attachments files are expected for this message!

Thank you very much.

spamify_replacedomain() - incorrect handling of addresses ins de <>

If input is a string like "<[email protected]>\n", we need to take
care to substitute just the domain part, and not simply everthing
from the @ sign to the end of the string, lest we end up with e.g.
"<fred_at_nospam_maam".

broken links / RFC 2646 format=flowed support

Messages may be sent in a format called format=flowed where the lines are wrapped in a special way that lets them be reliably unwrapped later. Hypermail doesn't handle this format. This results in broken links when a paragraph is flowed and the link is broken out between two lines. If format=flowed were supported, the lines would be unwrapped before applying the link detection code.

The body start anchor id is including the msg number

For example, for the first message (0) we have
For the second message, "start1", etc.
It shouldn't include it as it complicates making assumptions on anchors.

sort by date problem

If I build an archive using from serveral mailboxes
(either combining into a single file first or using the
hypermail -u option), the result has the same day being
listed multiple times. Here is an example:

Saturday, 2 July
Sunday, 3 July
Monday, 4 July
Tuesday, 5 July
Friday, 1 July
Saturday, 2 July
Sunday, 3 July
Monday, 4 July
Tuesday, 5 July

They messages sorted in each day seem to share the
timezone and the day is repeated for each timezone.

Maybe this is a config problems. I’m not really sure.

Add per-line anchors

Please add per-line anchors so that it is possible to link into the middle of a long email. It would be nice to add this, something like

<span id="L23">  and therefore in the second step of the algorithm</span>

string.c:parseurl() doesn't understand unicode spaces

parseurl() uses isblank() and sscanf to extract a URL that is followed by a space. Howerver, if that space is
coded in UTF-8 (for example a non-breakable space 0xC2 0XA)) and takes more than one byte, the sscanf will fail to detect that and will concatenate the space to the URL.

The solution here would be to replace the sscanf by a regexp, taking advantage that hypermail already uses
PCRE for other things elsewhere.

Mail headers are not always displayed in the same order

Hi,

I noticed on some archived messages that the mail headers are not always displayed in the same order (it seems to depend on the sender's mail client).

See examples on some W3C public mailing lists:

example from Apple Mail:
From, Date, Cc, Message-Id, To.
example from Gnome Evolution (3.36.5):
From, Date, Message-Id, To, Cc.
example from Roundcube Webmail (1.4.11) :
From, Date, To, Cc, Message-Id.
example from Thunderbird (78.11) :
From, Date, To, Cc, Message-Id.
example from GMail app on Android smartphone (Version 2021.05.30):
From, Date, Message-Id, To, Cc.

Could Hypermail archives always display the mail headers in the same order?

I suggest either:

From, Date, To, Cc, Message-Id
From, To, Cc, Date, Message-Id

Thanks!

Although the parser has code to deal with this attachment, instead of displaying it inline, this attachment is being systematically stored raw into the attachments dir and only a link is added to it.

hypermail dies on large mailbox files

I’ve experienced hypermail dying on several occassions
when handling very large mailbox files (~250MB).
Problems occurs under 2.1.4 and 2.1.5 on Solaris 8.

In order to work around the problem, I am able to go
through the mailbox file and remove the message that
hypermail dies on. Running it again, it will get past
that message, but then die at another one…usually in
the middle of outputting the author.html file. The
messages do not look obviously corrupt, although they
may not contain a Message-ID: header…

The most recent time it did this, it dumped core, so I
have a file that I can send you.

Don't distribute libpcre with tarball...

This is not the "true way" when dealing with source
code from other projects, unless you really want to
maintain yet another set of library code. I would like
to see an option in the configure script to use our
currently installed libpcre software. A note of this
requirement/dependency should be made in the
documentation for hypermail.

Navigation bar used in messages and indexes is the same

Configuration option ihtmlnavbar2upfile allows to set breadcrumb links and applies to both indexes and messages.

It would be good to have an addition configuration option to distinguish between navbars for indexes and messages to have more specific breadcrumbs. For example:

Navbar for the Index of a given period for a list: Home > List
Navbar for a message: Home > List > Period

long non-URL text can be misinterpreted as a URL, causing segfault

A very long plain text input line with multiple URLs might match one of the less-used URI
schemes such as "im:" followed by more than 256 characters before a "://", causing an
internal buffer to overflow, followed by a segfault.

The parseurl method has a list of URI schemes that it looks for, many of which don't end
with "://", yet the code that parses the text looking for URLs assumes that every scheme
ends with "://". The parsing could probably be fixed, but a simpler fix was to comment out
these infrequently used URI schemes, and to add a check to prevent buffer overflow.

ISO-2022-JP support is incomplete and incorrect

Setting the iso2022jp configuration variable is supposed to allow
hypermail to handle messages that might use the ISO-2022-JP character
set. Unfortunately, this support is incomplete and incorrect.

(Even more unfortunately, the i18n_body configuration variable isn't
implemented at all. If it were implemented, messages would be
transformed to utf-8, and all these problems would be avoided.)

hypermail attempts to transform anything that looks like an email
address by replacing the at sign (and optionally the domain name)
with a string (default "at") to confuse screen-scraping programs.
But if there's an "@" character in the middle of a string of
iso-2022-jp encoded Japanese characters, hypermail still converts
it, breaking the Japanese character.

When converting a utf-8 string to iso-2022-jp, hypermail always
adds the "return to ASCII" escape sequence, even if the string
ends with ASCII.

Add show_received_date option to control output of "Received on" at bottom of message

It would be nice to have an option that controls whether the
"Received on" date is included at the bottom of each message.
I added a show_received_date option to control this.

Review files INSTALL and UPGRADE

I think the contents of INSTALL and UPGRADE belong to README.md.

If not, perhaps move files like those to a subdirectory? That'd keep the root directory (the front page of the project) simple and clean.

At any rate, review those contents (simply renaming them will bring up nice markdown formatting).

Basic info about how to compile and install should be easier to find

ie, format INSTALL more nicely (markdown?) and link to it more prominently (#20 does that already).

Branch gh-pages to serve documentation

Simply by branching out to gh-pages, we'd be instantly able to read the HTML documentation at a convenient location like https://hypermail-project.github.io/hypermail/docs/hypermail.html.

HTML output: Ampersands (&'s) in URLs

While trying to validate HTML generated by hypermail
I found this:

A common error occurs when including a URL which
contains an ampersand ("&"):
This is invalid! :

In HTML the "&" is assumed to begin an entity. In many
cases, browsers will recover safely from the error,
but the example used here will cause the link to fail
in Netscape 3.x (but not other versions of Netscape)
since it will assume that the author intended to write
&sect;ion, which is equivalent to 告on.

To avoid problems with both validators and browsers,
always use &amp; in place of &:

Solution: The URL should be parsed and if it contains
an ampersand ("&") this should be replaced with "&amp;"

Akis

Determine current configuration file of hypermail

Hi Support,

Please let me know how to determine the configuration file getting used by Hypermail. I just want to see the path of the configuration file used by hypermail for ouput of “hypermail -v”. Also, can you please let me know if I use hypermail -c <config file>, will it be set for even after reboot of server or do I need to specify the path of config file somewhere so that after server reboot it will use this file for configuration?

Please assists.

Thanks

Apple Mail broken multipart/related MIME format

Apple Mail's MIME messages format is broken, when it is configured to send both plain text and HTML
versions of a message by means of multipart/alternative. Under this configuration, if a user sends one or more attachments in a message, Apple mail will transform the part that carries text/html into multipart/mixed and will put there the attachments. If hypermail is configured to give top priority to text/plain, those attachments won't appear. A visual description of this coming from an actual message

multipart/alternative

Here what would be expected is that Apple Mail use multipart/alternative only for the text/plain and text/html parts and make the foo.docx attachment a sibling to that multipart/alternative block.

Even when Apple Mail is configured to send plain text, whenever an attachment is sent it seems to send the message as multipart/alternative with the attachments binded to the text/html part only.

Although this is an Apple Mail bug or design decision, it would be good if hypermail had a way to display those attachments when configured to give top priority to text/plain.

The warn_surpressions option is misspelled, should be warn_suppressions

The describe_folder configuration option is ignored

Setting the describe_folder configuration option has no effect on the display of the folder index page.

M$ Attachement extraction

I run hypermail 2.2.1 pl 0 on a cygwin 1.3.1 platform
(i686, windows 2000).

When decoding word and powerpoint attachements, an
extra ^M (15) gets added on the way.

Malformed CSS declarations

The following declarations in the default hypermail style sheet are missing the closing semicolons. While this doesn’t impact the rendering of the styles in most browsers, they should be corrected for consistency.

body {color: black; background: #ffffff}
[...]
.quotelev1 {color : #990099}
.quotelev2 {color : #ff7700}
.quotelev3 {color : #007799}
.quotelev4 {color : #95c500}
.period {font-weight: bold}

Remove deprecated files?

Files README.CVS, FILES and maybe others don't seem terribly useful. Remove them?

At the very least, move them somewhere where they don't distract or mislead casual visitors and new contributors to the project.

url parser doesn't detect urls in lines where a non-related ':'is found before the urls

If the message has a line like follow my link: https://example.com hypermail detects link: is not a valid protocol schema and stops parsing the line for further URLs.

unknown mailer error 255

Hi,

Whenever somebody sends an email to address that is getting archived using hypermail on Solaris box, I see an error in sendmail logs "unknown mailer error 255" and it doesn't create archive of that email. I have tried changing the permissions on the folder containing archive to 777 but no luck.

Can someone please help on this?

Thanks
Saurya

Move files TODO and KNOWN_BUGS to issues

TODO and KNOWN_BUGS are lists of… well, bugs, issues, feature requests.

Get rid of those, and create issues on GH instead.

getname segfaults on an input string lacking a final '>'

patch below.

getname() - avoid segfault when parsing email address

When searching for "comments" containing a person's name (eg "Fred Nurk")
after an email address (eg <[email protected]>) it is possible that the
trailing > is missing. This can be caused by spamify_replacedomain() not
being careful enough in how it substitutes the domain name. In such cases
strchr() will return a value that could cause a segfault, so take a little
care that we have something valid before attempting to find the comment
segment of the header line.

In some cases the closing '>' of an email address may be missing.

valid_root_domains() does not understand new domain domains

As part of identifying a valid email address, this function validates if a domain name is correct in an email address using a fixed list of valid domain names. DNS has evolved and allows a variety of domain names that are not covered by that list.

Add charset aliases for Thai and Chinese charsets

hypermail could use a few more charset aliases for Thai and Chinese charsets:

/* Thai */
{"windows-874","CP874"},

/* Chinese */
{"x-gbk","GB18030"},

UTF-8 locales not supported

hypermail expects locales to be named as "en_US", but most locales are
now named as "en_US.UTF-8".

convurl is not ignoring ,

When convurl processes a line saying [email protected],[email protected],etc@...
it will generate mailtos including the leading , as in mailto:,[email protected]

Support RFC 2231 data format

Hypermail fails to find and save the attachment filename when a mail client is using newer MIME attachment standards than hypermail recognizes. Newer Mail clients may split the filename into several fields following the procedure in RFC 2231. hypermail does not recognize this data format, so it failed to find the filename, generated its own, and as a consequence the browser doesn't know to display the file as a PDF. In my personal opinion, we should teach Hypermail to read filenames and other attachment data following RFC 2231.

Bus error when setting antispamdomain directive

I’m been playing with the MacPorts version of the hypermail 2.3.0 release. I have discovered that assigning any value to the antispamdomain directive (quoted, unquoted, whatever) results in a bus error via stdout. This error did not occur with the 2.2.0 release.

Please let me know if there is any additional information you require.
