!----------------------  MAILSHR_PATCH_FOR_AT_02.COM -----------------
MAILSHR.EXE
!
! Modifed Nov, 1990, RPW to replace IN%"  with  MX%" and to make the form
!    user@system translate into mx%"user@system" instead of system::user
!
! This patch will be of interest to any VAX/VMS system (more especially if it
! is running PMDF) since it lets TO: or CC: addresses such as
! user%machine@site.co.org to be accepted without the IN% prefix and without
! surrounding double quotes.  Yes, let's admit it, it lets VMS mail accept Un*x
! type addresses.  In addition to its original goal, the format of this
! modification is also original by the fact of the straight macro code that
! can easily be modified/expanded or altered (ie IN% could become M_INTERNET::
! in the case of most Schlumberger VMS nodes)
! If the address is "similar" (see algorithm below) to user%machine@site.co.org
! it is simply rewritten as IN%"user%machine@site.co.org" and passed along.
! At the same time, user@machine will be accepted and rewritten as machine::user
! If the IN% prefix is not the one in use on your VAX/VMS system, but XYZ% is,
! then all you have to do is $ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXECUTIVE -
!       MAIL$PROTOCOL_IN -
!       XYZ_ROOT:[EXE]XYZ_MAILSHR       ! or wherever the XYZ overlay for MAIL
!                                       ! might be located and installed from
!
! See additional impact remarks below.
!
! This patch applies to SYS$LIBRARY:MAILSHR.EXE (usually SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB])
! from VMS 5.0 to Field Test version of 5.4 as of June 1990
!
!       We recommend:
!
!       $ SET DEFAULT SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]
!       $ INSTALL:= $INSTALL/COMMAND
!       $ PATCH @ this_file.COM
!       $ INSTALL REPLACE SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]MAILSHR.EXE

! No warranty implied.  This can be freely copied and altered.  Use it at
! your own risks.  It is probably pure chance if it ever worked on a
! particular system.
!
! Additional remarks on the impact of this patch
!
! 1) With this patch in place we hope to make addressing unique in the VMS world
!    whether a message is sent via DECnet or via a foreign protocol (such as
!    the successful/affordable PMDF) without forcing any one to use prefixes
!    and/or quotes.  Quotes are to be avoided by all means since MAIL and DEC's
!    MRGATE interface have no mechanisms to imbed quoted addresses between
!    quotes (ie MRGATE and PMDF cannot carry the same message!)
! 2) There are risks of confusion for new users who will learn that the Un*x
!    addressing format works on a patched VMS system and who will never bother
!    to know the DEC way to send mail with double colons between node and
!    username until they use a non patched VMS system
! 3) The patch will certainly break when DECnet node names will contain dots
!    but this is in DECnet phase V and we still have to see a field test
!    for this product.  By that time a better patch will be developped or
!    whatever foreign protocol is used (PMDF by default) will just handle
!    these deliveries that could have gone also more simply across DECnet
! 4) The patch is far from being fully RFC822 compliant and there are risks
!    that some users will be confused by the lack of completeness.  This
!    in some case will be due to the approach taken in this patch where,
!    instead of redoing the address parsing that DEC is doing in MAIL, we
!    simply hacked a string filter on a "DEC approved string" which has already
!    been pruned of commas and exclamation points.  Users familiar with "bang"
!    addresses will still have to say IN%"node!node!user@relay.somewhere"
! 5) After a few extra weeks of testing on a larger scale, this patch will be
!    submitted to DEC as an SPR for improvement.  Hopefully, then DEC will
!    support the de facto standard (or at least the most commonly used part
!    of it).  In the mean time let's try to let our users access Internet
!    addresses in the most natural way.  At last!
!
! Validity of this patch
!
! It has only been tested on VMS 5.3-1 but is expected to work on VMS 5.0 to 5.4
! (well, 5.4 is not out yet, so at least up to T5.4-4).  This part of the code
! is the same for all these versions of VMS 5, only the addresses changed after
! 5.0.  For VMS 4.6/4.7, unfortunately the code was different and it was not
! found worth the effort to retrofit this patch for a version of VMS that was
! replaced 23 months ago.
!
! For VMS 5.0 only, uncomment the following 6 lines and comment another 6 lines
! below.
!
! If you patch, VMS 5.0, it is different from the following VMS versions
!                          MAIL$$ADD_ADDR     is located at 000049C2 and
!                          ADD_ADDR           is located at 000048EF
!    then uncomment the following 6 lines and comment out 6 similar lines below

! If you patch any versions from VMS 5.1 to T5.4-4 including 5.1 and 5.2, all
! appear to have identical MAIL$$ADD_ADDR always located at 000049D2 and
! calling                  ADD_ADDR       always located at 000048FF

!       Start implementing the ALTER_TO subroutine
!       It was first developped and tested as a MACRO-32 program
!       and changed into the body of this patch.com file by
!       a MACRO_TO_PATCH.COM procedure developped for that purpose
DEP /PAT
PATAREA
       !;       ALTER_TO is called with the same 2 arguments used by
       !;       MAIL$$SEND_ADD_ADDR in calling MAIL$$ADD_ADDR and will call
       !;       ADD_ADDR itself with or without a rewrite. There is no rewrite
       !;       if SYS$FAO fails.  The original address is never modified and
       !;       will still appear unmodified in the "published" TO: field.
       !;
       !;       At this point when MAIL$$ADD_ADDR calls ALTER_TO, 4(AP) points
       !;       to a string descriptor which MAIL has already parsed to be one
       !;       of a single recipient (we don't have to look for commas or for
       !;       an @ sign preceding a distribution list).  Because of the
       !;       location of this patch, floating/unquoted "!"s seem unlikely.
       !;
       !;       The principle of this patch is to allow plain RFC addresses
       !;       to be acceptable by mail.  We never anticipated to fully deal
       !;       with the full RFC822 format but simply to lrt forms such as
       !;       user@site.org or user%machine@site.company.org with all atoms
       !;       being alphanumerics and the whole address void of double quotes
       !;
       !;       At the same time STRAIGHTFORWARD phase IV DECnet mail addresses
       !;       are also allowed in an RFC822 like format: USERNAME@NODENAME
       !;       is being transformed into NODENAME::USERNAME.  Note well that
       !;       the code will NOT transform any address with an "@" into
       !;       a more complex DECnet mail address such as AAA::BBB::USER.
       !;
       !;       The parsing is an adhoc scanning of the string looking for
       !;       no more than one "@", checking the absence of " and for the
       !;       A and B parts of A@B distinguish between A-Z,0-9,a-z,$,%,.,-
       !;       and other characters (in case MAIL's parser would any slip thru)
       !;
       !;       More exactly the algorithm is:
       !;
       !;       input string might look like A@B with A and B containing no "
       !;       if " or not A@B, pass the string to ADD_ADDR unchanged  ! Case 1
       !;       else if A or B has any character not in A-Z,0-9,a-z,$,%,.,-
       !;                       pass IN%"A@B"                           ! Case 2
       !;            else
       !;                if B has no dots (pure DECnet) pass B::A       ! Case 3
       !;                else pass IN%"A@B"                             ! Case 2
