7 | * Changes in MH-E 8.2 |
8 | ||
bbe1ba5e | 9 | Version 8.2 of MH-E appeared in GNU Emacs 23.1. This is a small |
d1d87851 BW |
10 | release that includes internal changes from the Emacs team. A new |
11 | hook, `mh-pack-folder-hook', has been added. | |
12 | ||
13 | There is a known bug where you can't attach attachments in Emacs 21. | |
14 | This will be fixed in 8.2.1. | |
15 | ||
16 | ** New Variables in MH-E 8.2 | |
17 | ||
18 | *** mh-pack-folder-hook | |
19 | ||
20 | The `mh-pack-folder-hook' is run by `F p' (`mh-pack-folder') after | |
21 | renumbering the messages. Hook functions can access the current folder | |
22 | name with `mh-current-folder'. | |
23 | ||
24 | ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.2 | |
25 | ||
26 | *** New version of mh-mm-save-part | |
27 | ||
28 | Several functions have been updated with code from Gnus 5.11 (closes | |
29 | SF #2235022). | |

33 | * Changes in MH-E 8.1 |
34 | ||
35 | Version 8.1 fixes some issues with forwarding messages, respects the | |
36 | MH environment variable, adds the abilities to use aliases with GPG | |
37 | and show HTML even though it is discouraged. A new hook, | |
38 | `mh-annotate-msg-hook', has been added. | |
39 | ||
40 | ** New Features in MH-E 8.1 | |
41 | ||
42 | *** Showing HTML When Text Is the Preferred Alternative | |
43 | ||
44 | The `:' (`mh-show-preferred-alternative') function displays the | |
45 | message with the default preferred alternative. This is as if | |
46 | `mm-discouraged-alternatives' was set to nil (closes SF #1777321). | |
47 | ||
48 | ** New Variables in MH-E 8.1 | |
49 | ||
50 | *** mh-annotate-msg-hook | |
51 | ||
52 | The `mh-annotate-msg-hook' hook is run whenever a message is sent and | |
53 | after the scan lines and message are annotated. Hook functions can | |
54 | access the current folder name with `mh-current-folder' and obtain the | |
55 | message numbers of the annotated messages with `mh-annotate-list' | |
56 | (closes SF #2032269). | |
57 | ||
58 | ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.1 | |
59 | ||
60 | *** Can't Use Aliases with GPG | |
61 | ||
62 | GPG requires e-mail addresses, not aliases. So resolve aliases before | |
63 | passing addresses to GPG/PGP (closes SF #649226). | |
64 | ||
65 | *** mh-mml-forward-message: Disposition Should Be Inline | |
66 | ||
67 | The `f' (`mh-forward') function now forwards messages as inline | |
68 | attachments (closes SF #1378993). | |
69 | ||
70 | *** Illegal Filename Characters on Windows Filesystems | |
71 | ||
72 | The X-Image-URL cache created filenames with invalid characters on | |
73 | Windows. This has been fixed with assistance from Darel Henman (closes | |
74 | SF #1396499). | |
75 | ||
76 | *** Make Many Header Fields Invisible | |
77 | ||
78 | A vast landscape of header fields are now invisible. You may wish to | |
79 | browse `mh-invisible-header-fields-default' and clean up your | |
80 | `mh-invisible-header-fields' option. A permanent bug (SF #1916032) has | |
81 | been created where you can submit header fields that should be | |
82 | rendered invisible (closes SF #1701231). | |
83 | ||
84 | *** mh-forward Includes Messages in Reverse Order | |
85 | ||
86 | The `f' (`mh-forward') function now includes messages in ascending | |
87 | order (closes SF #1730393). | |
88 | ||
89 | *** Compile Fails on XEmacs 21.5 beta 28 | |
90 | ||
91 | This has been fixed with help from Henrique Martins (closes SF | |
92 | #1749774). | |
93 | ||
94 | *** Rename Variant mu-mh to gnu-mh | |
95 | ||
96 | The GNU mailutils MH variant was named inconsistently. The variant has | |
97 | been renamed to gnu-mh throughout. Thanks to Darel Henman (closes SF | |
98 | #1768928). | |
99 | ||
100 | *** Respect MH environment Variable | |
101 | ||
102 | Even if the MH environment variable was set, an error was generated if | |
103 | "~/.mh_profile" was missing. This has been fixed thanks to Xavier | |
104 | Maillard (closes SF #1946861). | |
105 | ||
106 | *** Enhance mh-mairix-regexp-builder | |
107 | ||
108 | Additional items have been added to the Mairix search string in order | |
109 | to support org-mode. Thanks to Nick Dokos (closes SF #1965704). | |
110 | ||
111 | *** mh-mh-to-mime and mh-mh-to-mime-undo Reset Modes | |
112 | ||
113 | The functions `mh-mh-to-mime' and `mh-mh-to-mime-undo' would reset the | |
114 | buffer to fundamental mode. This has been fixed thanks to Sergey | |
115 | Poznyakoff (closes SF #1966722). | |

119 | * Changes in MH-E 8.0.3 |
120 | ||
121 | Version 8.0.3 fixes errors in sending messages and in running spam | |
122 | filter commands in certain circumstances. | |
123 | ||
124 | ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.0.3 | |
125 | ||
126 | *** mh-send-args Cannot Be nil | |
127 | ||
128 | If `mh-send-uses-spost-flag' was set, an error would prevent the | |
129 | sending of messages. This has been fixed (closes SF #1564742). | |
130 | ||
131 | *** Missing Quotes in sa-learn Command Line | |
132 | ||
133 | This has been fixed (closes SF #1565460). | |
134 | ||
135 | *** Errors Associated with mh-junk-background | |
136 | ||
137 | The Spamassassin filter commands were used inconsistently and | |
138 | incorrectly; if `mh-junk-background' were nil, not all of the updating | |
139 | would happen correctly. In the other back-ends such as bogofilter and | |
140 | SpamProbe, a value of t for `mh-junk-background' would cause the | |
141 | commands associated with these filters to fail. These problems have | |
142 | been fixed (closes SF #1594802). | |

146 | * Changes in MH-E 8.0.2 |
147 | ||
148 | Version 8.0.2 fixes the tool bar and `F n' on XEmacs, and `K a' on GNU | |
149 | mailutils. | |
150 | ||
151 | ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.0.2 | |
152 | ||
153 | *** Tool Bar Not Displayed in XEmacs | |
154 | ||
155 | The MH-E tool bar didn't show up in XEmacs; now it does. Thanks to Ted | |
156 | Phelps <phelps@gnusto.com> (closes SF #1506846). | |
157 | ||
158 | *** mh-mime-save-parts Assumes -store Default | |
159 | ||
160 | It was assumed that -store was the default for both mhn and mhstore. | |
161 | This has been fixed by using -store except when using nmh. Thanks to | |
162 | Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net> (closes SF #1513140). | |
163 | ||
164 | *** F-n Doesn't Work | |
165 | ||
166 | The fix for SF #1499712 broke `F n' (`mh-index-new-messages') on | |
167 | XEmacs since a regular expression that XEmacs could not handle was | |
168 | added. This regexp has been fixed (closes SF #1514424). | |

172 | * Changes in MH-E 8.0.1 |
173 | ||
174 | Version 8.0.1 works around a couple of bugs in GNU mailutils, spost, | |
175 | and Windows. MH-E now requires the use of version 1.0 of mailutils due | |
176 | to a bug in the folder command. | |
177 | ||
178 | ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.0.1 | |
179 | ||
180 | *** Infinite Loop When Searching (mailutils) | |
181 | ||
182 | The GNU mailutils folder command displays output when a folder doesn't | |
183 | exist. MH-E didn't expect this and responded with an infinite loop | |
184 | during searches. While this bug has since been fixed in mailutils, | |
185 | MH-E has been modified to work anyway (closes SF #1499712). | |
186 | ||
187 | *** spost Doesn't Have -msgid or -mime Flags | |
188 | ||
189 | The post replacement spost does not support the -msgid or -mime flags. | |
190 | A new variable `mh-send-uses-spost-flag' was added to control the use | |
191 | of these flags (closes SF #1486726). | |
192 | ||
193 | *** <2> in Search Folders Illegal in Windows | |
194 | ||
195 | The <2> suffix to the search folder names contain illegal filename | |
196 | characters in Windows. These cause searches to fail on Windows. This | |
197 | has been fixed by changing the suffix to -2 (closes SF #1507002). | |
198 | ||

7c36a00a BW |
201 | * Changes in MH-E 8.0 |
202 | ||
203 | Version 8.0 supports GNU mailutils, S/MIME, picons, which-func-mode, | |
204 | sports an improved interface for hiding header fields, improves upon | |
205 | the MH variant detection, improves folder completion, makes the pick | |
206 | search equivalent to the other types of searches, spruces up the tool | |
207 | bar, creates the correct MIME type when including OpenOffice | |
208 | documents, works on a Mac, adds colors to buttons for signed or | |
209 | encrypted messages, incorporates new features introduced in | |
210 | Emacs 22.1, fixes a bunch of bugs, and best of all, comes with an | |
211 | updated manual! | |
212 | ||
213 | Internally, MH-E now sports a new software organization which will | |
214 | help future maintainability. As a side-effect, the number of XEmacs | |
215 | compilation warnings has plummeted from hundreds to just three. CVS | |
216 | users will notice that MH-E has been migrated from the CVS repository | |
217 | from SourceForge to Savannah (but only for those files that were | |
218 | already part of Emacs). As a result, the location of MH-E in the | |
219 | load-path has changed, and mh-e-autoloads.el was renamed to | |
220 | mh-autoloads.el. See section INSTALL in the README for details. While | |
221 | this migration will benefit maintainers, it will also benefit users: | |
222 | CVS Emacs users will not have to check out MH-E separately and welcome | |
223 | faster MH-E updates, and CVS MH-E users will welcome faster MH-E | |
224 | updates from Emacs developers. Read section CVS MH-E INSTALL in the | |
225 | README for details. | |

227 | While not related to this release, the MH-E mailing lists are now |
228 | gatewayed at gmane.org (closes SF #979308). | |

66f7848b | 236 | |
7c36a00a | 237 | ** New Features in MH-E 8.0 |
66f7848b | 238 | |
7c36a00a | 239 | *** GNU mailutils Support |
66f7848b | 240 | |
7c36a00a | 241 | MH-E now supports GNU mailutils 0.4 and higher versions. |
66f7848b | 242 | |
7c36a00a | 243 | *** S/MIME Support |
66f7848b | 244 | |
7c36a00a | 245 | MH-E now supports S/MIME using Gnus 5.10.6 or higher. |
66f7848b | 246 | |
7c36a00a | 247 | *** Picon Support |
66f7848b | 248 | |
7c36a00a BW |
249 | In addition to the other methods of displaying an icon for the sender |
250 | of a message, MH-E can now display images from a picon directory. The | |
251 | directory search path is found in the `mh-picon-directory-list' | |
252 | variable. More documentation is found in the "facedb" sections in the | |
253 | xfaces man page. | |
66f7848b | 254 | |
7c36a00a | 255 | *** Catchup Command |
66f7848b | 256 | |
7c36a00a BW |
257 | There is a new `F c' (`mh-catchup') command that marks all unread |
258 | messages in the current folder as read. | |
66f7848b | 259 | |
7c36a00a | 260 | *** Use which-func-mode to Display Folder in Index Mode |
66f7848b | 261 | |
7c36a00a BW |
262 | Turning on `which-func-mode' displays the folder name of the message |
263 | under the cursor in index folders (closes SF #855520). | |
66f7848b | 264 | |
7c36a00a | 265 | *** Quick Key Help |
66f7848b | 266 | |
7c36a00a BW |
267 | The `?' (`mh-help') function now displays the help in its own buffer |
268 | called *MH-E Help* (closes SF #493740 and SF #656631). | |
66f7848b | 269 | |
7c36a00a | 270 | *** Search Unification |
66f7848b | 271 | |
7c36a00a BW |
272 | The old `F s' behavior of adding messages to the search sequence has |
273 | been removed. The `F i' keybinding was deprecated and the new `F s' | |
274 | (`mh-search') command is used to initiate either indexed or pick | |
275 | searches. Within the MH-Search buffer (renamed from MH-Pick), the | |
276 | command `C-c C-p' (`mh-pick-do-search') now runs pick on the given | |
277 | folder recursively and displays the results in a search folder like | |
278 | the other search methods (closes SF #829207). | |
66f7848b | 279 | |
7c36a00a | 280 | *** Entry Points Have Moved |
66f7848b | 281 | |
7c36a00a BW |
282 | Emacs 21 users must now add `(require 'mh-autoloads)' because the |
283 | entry points (such as `mh-rmail' and `mh-smail') have moved to | |
284 | different files which have made the autoloads that come with Emacs | |
285 | inaccurate. This change was necessary because the code was reorganized | |
286 | to remove circular dependencies, to make the code more stable and | |
287 | maintainable, and to reduce the time to load MH-E. | |
66f7848b | 288 | |
7c36a00a | 289 | *** MH-Folder Keymap Changes |
66f7848b | 290 | |
7c36a00a BW |
291 | There is now a keymap for the printing functions whose prefix is `P'. |
292 | The command `l' (`mh-print-msg') has been replaced with `P l' although | |
293 | we suggest you use the new `P p' instead. | |
66f7848b | 294 | |
7c36a00a | 295 | Key 7.4.4 8.0 |

66f7848b | 314 | |
7c36a00a | 315 | *** MH-Letter Keymap Changes |
66f7848b | 316 | |
7c36a00a BW |
317 | The change where `mh-letter-mode' derives from `mail-mode' adds a few |
318 | keybindings. Some are interesting: experiment! Only the keybinding | |
319 | changes for MH-E functions are listed here. | |
66f7848b | 320 | |
7c36a00a BW |
321 | Most of the changes have to do with the renaming of the functions with |
322 | "mhn" in them to "mh" because nmh doesn't use `mhn'. The names were | |
323 | also made consistent with the the family of "mml" functions. | |
66f7848b | 324 | |
7c36a00a BW |
325 | The type of signing or encryption has been generalized so the method |
326 | is now an option rather than a part of the function's name. The option | |
327 | is `mh-mml-method-default' and choices include PGP (MIME), PGP, | |
328 | S/MIME, or none. | |

7c36a00a | 362 | *** MH-Search Keymap Changes |
dec817ba | 363 | |
7c36a00a BW |
364 | These are the changes associated with the new search mode. The command |
365 | `C-c C-c' (`mh-index-do-search') now performs the standard indexed | |
366 | search, while `C-c C-p' (`mh-pick-do-search') runs pick as before, | |
367 | only better! | |
dec817ba | 368 | |
7c36a00a BW |
369 | The `mh-to-field' keybindings were adjusted to be consistent with |
370 | those in the MH-Letter mode. | |

7c36a00a | 385 | *** Updates to X-Image-URL |
dec817ba | 386 | |
7c36a00a BW |
387 | Now support the use of `curl' and `fetch' as alternatives to `wget' to |
388 | obtain the image. The display of images are controlled with the | |
389 | `mh-show-use-xface-flag' option while the `mh-fetch-x-image-url' | |
390 | option controls how the images are fetched. | |
dec817ba | 391 | |
7c36a00a BW |
392 | The default of `mh-fetch-x-image-url' has been changed to "Never |
393 | Fetch." Those of you who like the value of "Ask Before Fetching" will | |
394 | have to customize this option (closes SF #831278). | |
dec817ba | 395 | |
7c36a00a BW |
396 | WARNING: There are security concerns with this feature. Please read |
397 | the documentation for these options carefully before changing the | |
398 | default. | |

7c36a00a | 400 | *** Updates to mh-identity-list |
dec817ba | 401 | |
7c36a00a BW |
402 | Note that the field names found in `mh-identity-list' that refer to |
403 | the fields in `mh-identity-handlers' have changed in an incompatible | |
404 | way from 7.4.4. In general, the symbolic names now have a ":" prefix | |
405 | to avoid collisions with header fields. Before starting Emacs, edit | |
406 | your .emacs and insert ":" before "signature" if you have defined it. | |
dec817ba | 407 | |
7c36a00a BW |
408 | You can change your attribution in replies with the new "Attribution |
409 | Verb" field, and you can set your default GPG user ID with the "GPG | |
410 | key ID" field. | |
dec817ba | 411 | |
7c36a00a BW |
412 | Signatures can now be read from the `mh-signature-file-name' variable, |
413 | or come from a function, in addition to a named file. If you write | |
414 | your own function, variables that you can use include | |
415 | `mh-signature-separator-regexp', `mh-signature-separator', | |
416 | and `mh-signature-separator-p'. | |
0951cd36 | 417 | |
7c36a00a BW |
418 | The handling of these fields has been moved into a new |
419 | `mh-identity-handlers' option, an alist of fields (strings) and | |
420 | handlers (functions). Strings are lowercase. Use ":signature" for | |
421 | Signature and ":pgg-default-user-id" for GPG Key ID. The function | |
422 | associated with the string "default" is used if no other functions are | |
423 | appropriate. For this reason, don't name a header field "Default". | |
0951cd36 | 424 | |
7c36a00a BW |
425 | If you point your signature at a vCard file with a vcf suffix, then it |
426 | will be incorporated as a vCard body part (closes SF #802723). | |
5384dc93 | 427 | |
7c36a00a | 428 | *** Updates to Speedbar |
5384dc93 | 429 | |
7c36a00a BW |
430 | The speedbar now renders the folders with unseen messages in boldface |
431 | which makes them easier to identify (closes SF #623369). | |
c80ba99d | 432 | |
7c36a00a | 433 | *** Updates to mh-msg-is-in-seq |
c80ba99d | 434 | |
7c36a00a BW |
435 | Can now specify an alternate message number to `S s' |
436 | (`mh-msg-is-in-seq') with a prefix argument. | |
c80ba99d | 437 | |
7c36a00a | 438 | *** Updates to mh-to-field-choices |
c80ba99d | 439 | |
7c36a00a BW |
440 | In MH-Letter mode, you can use the `C-c C-f' (`mh-to-field') prefix to |
441 | go to and insert fields. The fields `Reply-To:', `Mail-Reply-To:', | |
442 | `Mail-Followup-To:' can now be created via the `C-r', `C-a' (for | |
443 | author), and `C-l' keys respectively. The key for the `From:' field | |
444 | has been renamed from `C-r' to `C-m' for consistency with `mail-mode' | |
445 | (closes SF #1400139). | |
c80ba99d | 446 | |
7c36a00a | 447 | *** Change Content-Type Renderer on the Fly in MH-Show Buffer |
c80ba99d | 448 | |
7c36a00a BW |
449 | This has been implemented by adding the key binding `K e' |
450 | (`mh-display-with-external-viewer'). For inline text/html parts, | |
451 | buttons aren't displayed by default. In that case use `K t' | |
452 | (`mh-toggle-mime-buttons') to display the button before viewing it | |
453 | with an external browser (closes SF #839318). | |
c80ba99d BW |
454 | |
455 | *** MH-E No Longer Calls install-mh | |
456 | ||
457 | The new variant detection code makes use of `mhparam' which assumes | |
458 | that your MH environment has already been set up. The code to call | |
459 | `install-mh', which could no longer be run anyway, was removed. | |
460 | ||
7c36a00a | 461 | *** Add :package-version Keyword to Options |
c80ba99d | 462 | |
7c36a00a BW |
463 | This `defcustom', `defgroup', and `defface' keyword was introduced in |
464 | Emacs 22.1. MH-E has been extended to take advantage of it. With this | |
465 | keyword, you can now use `M-x customize-changed-options' to see what | |
466 | options in MH-E have changed between versions of Emacs. In a future | |
467 | version of Emacs, you'll be able to see changes between MH-E versions | |
468 | as well (closes SF #1452724). | |
c80ba99d | 469 | |
7c36a00a | 470 | *** Render Signature and vCard in Italics |
c80ba99d | 471 | |
7c36a00a BW |
472 | This has been implemented. Use `mh-show-signature-face' to customize |
473 | the face used (closes SF #802722). | |
c80ba99d | 474 | |
7c36a00a | 475 | *** Derive mh-letter-mode from mail-mode |
c80ba99d | 476 | |
7c36a00a BW |
477 | MH-Letter mode is now derived from `mail-mode'. We were able to delete |
478 | a lot of code. In return, there are a few `mail-mode' commands that | |
479 | are available that may or may not be useful and the `mail-mode-hook' | |
480 | is run (closes SF #1385571). | |
c80ba99d BW |
481 | |
482 | *** Remove Emacs 20 Support | |
483 | ||
484 | As it turns out, we had already added some code that didn't work on | |
485 | Emacs 20. However, now we've formalized it and removed code that was | |
486 | present solely for Emacs 20 support (closes SF #1359240). | |
487 | ||
7c36a00a | 488 | *** Glimpse Support Removed |
c80ba99d | 489 | |
7c36a00a BW |
490 | Since glimpse isn't free, we cannot mention it. Glimpse has been |
491 | removed from the option `mh-indexer-choices' (closes SF #831276). | |
c80ba99d | 492 | |
7c36a00a | 493 | *** Use run-hook-with-args |
c80ba99d | 494 | |
7c36a00a BW |
495 | We use normal hooks whenever possible and do not use |
496 | `run-hook-with-args' (with one documented exception) (closes SF | |
497 | #643702). | |

7c36a00a | 501 | ** New Variables in MH-E 8.0 |
c80ba99d | 502 | |
7c36a00a | 503 | *** mh-after-commands-processed-hook |
c80ba99d | 504 | |
7c36a00a BW |
505 | Hook run by `x' (`mh-execute-commands') after performing outstanding |
506 | refile and delete requests. | |
c80ba99d | 507 | |
7c36a00a | 508 | *** mh-alias-reloaded-hook |
c80ba99d | 509 | |
7c36a00a | 510 | Invoked by `mh-alias-reload' after reloading aliases. |
c80ba99d | 511 | |
7c36a00a | 512 | *** mh-auto-fields-prompt-flag |
c80ba99d | 513 | |
7c36a00a BW |
514 | On means to prompt before sending if fields in `mh-auto-fields-list' |
515 | are inserted. | |
c80ba99d | 516 | |
7c36a00a | 517 | *** mh-before-commands-processed-hook |
c80ba99d | 518 | |
7c36a00a BW |
519 | Renamed from `mh-folder-updated-hook'. It wasn't clear whether |
520 | `mh-folder-updated-hook' was run before or after the commands were | |
521 | executed. We now provide both with clear names. | |
c80ba99d | 522 | |
7c36a00a | 523 | *** mh-compose-forward-as-mime-flag |
c80ba99d | 524 | |
7c36a00a BW |
525 | On means that messages are forwarded as attachments (closes SF |
526 | #827203). | |
c80ba99d | 527 | |
7c36a00a | 528 | *** mh-default-folder-for-message-function |
c80ba99d | 529 | |
7c36a00a | 530 | Function to select a default folder for refiling or `Fcc:'. |
c80ba99d | 531 | |
7c36a00a | 532 | *** mh-forward-hook |
c80ba99d | 533 | |
7c36a00a | 534 | Invoked on the forwarded letter by `f' (`mh-forward'). |
c80ba99d BW |
535 | |
536 | *** mh-highlight-citation-style | |
537 | ||
538 | Renamed from `mh-highlight-citation-p' since it wasn't a boolean. The | |
539 | new name is also more descriptive. | |
540 | ||
7c36a00a BW |
541 | *** mh-identity-handlers |
542 | ||
543 | Handler functions for fields in `mh-identity-list'. | |
544 | ||
c80ba99d BW |
545 | *** mh-insert-signature-hook |
546 | ||
547 | Renamed from `mh-letter-insert-signature-hook' since most of the other | |
548 | hooks do not carry the mode in the prefix and because the new name is | |
549 | equally clear. | |
550 | ||
7c36a00a BW |
551 | *** mh-invisible-header-fields-default |
552 | ||
553 | List of hidden header fields. The header fields listed in this option | |
554 | are hidden, although you can check off any field that you would like | |
555 | to see. Header fields that you would like to hide that aren't listed | |
556 | can be added to the `mh-invisible-header-fields' option (closes SF | |
557 | #752045). | |
558 | ||
559 | The option `mh-visible-header-fields' has been deleted. | |
560 | ||
561 | *** mh-junk-background | |
562 | ||
563 | If on, spam programs are run in background. This used to be the | |
564 | default behavior but this could overwhelm a system if many messages | |
565 | were black- or whitelisted at once. The spam programs are now run in | |
566 | the foreground, but this option can be used to put them back in the | |
567 | background. | |
568 | ||
569 | *** mh-junk-disposition | |
570 | ||
571 | Renamed from `mh-junk-mail-folder' since this variable can accept | |
572 | values other than folder names. | |
573 | ||
c80ba99d BW |
574 | *** mh-kill-folder-suppress-prompt-hooks |
575 | ||
576 | Renamed from `mh-kill-folder-suppress-prompt-hook'. By convention, | |
577 | abnormal hooks, which this is, either have a -function or -hooks | |
578 | suffix. | |
579 | ||
580 | *** mh-mhl-format-file | |
581 | ||
582 | Renamed from `mhl-formfile' to put it in the MH-E namespace and to be | |
583 | consistent with other similar options. | |
584 | ||
585 | *** mh-mh-to-mime-hook | |
586 | ||
587 | Renamed from `mh-edit-mhn-hook'. We have a family of `mh-mml-to-mime' | |
588 | functions and variables; the older mhn functions and variables were | |
589 | renamed to have a consistent `mh-mh-to-mime' prefix. | |
590 | ||
7c36a00a BW |
591 | *** mh-mml-method-default |
592 | ||
593 | Default method to use in security tags. | |
594 | ||
c80ba99d BW |
595 | *** mh-new-messages-folders |
596 | ||
597 | Renamed from `mh-index-new-messages-folders' for clarity. | |
598 | ||
599 | *** mh-path | |
600 | ||
601 | Additional list of directories to search for MH. | |
602 | ||
603 | *** mh-redist-full-contents-flag | |
604 | ||
605 | On means the `dist' command needs entire letter for redistribution. | |
606 | This was previously a variable. It's now an option. | |
607 | ||
608 | *** mh-search-mode-hook | |
609 | ||
610 | Renamed from `mh-pick-mode-hook' as part of the | |
611 | `mh-index.el'/`mh-pick.el' merge into `mh-search.el'. | |
612 | ||
613 | *** mh-search-program | |
614 | ||
615 | Renamed from `mh-index-program' as part of the | |
616 | `mh-index.el'/`mh-pick.el' merge into `mh-search.el'. | |
617 | ||
7c36a00a BW |
618 | *** mh-signature-separator-flag |
619 | ||
620 | On means a signature separator should be inserted. It is not | |
621 | recommended that you change this option since various mail user | |
622 | agents, including MH-E, use the separator to present the signature | |
623 | differently, and to suppress the signature when replying or yanking a | |
624 | letter into a draft. | |
625 | ||
c80ba99d BW |
626 | *** mh-sortm-args |
627 | ||
628 | Additional arguments for `sortm'. This was previously an internal | |
629 | variable. It's now an user-customizable option. | |
630 | ||
631 | *** mh-speed-update-interval | |
632 | ||
633 | Renamed from `mh-speed-flists-interval' for clarity. | |
634 | ||
635 | *** mh-ticked-messages-folders | |
636 | ||
637 | Renamed from `mh-index-ticked-messages-folders' for clarity. | |
638 | ||
7c36a00a BW |
639 | *** mh-variant |
640 | ||
641 | Specifies the variant used by MH-E. The default setting of this option | |
642 | is `Auto-detect' which means that MH-E will automatically choose the | |
643 | first of nmh, MH, or GNU mailutils that it finds in the directories | |
644 | listed in `mh-path', `mh-sys-path', and `exec-path'. If, for example, | |
645 | you have both nmh and mailutils installed and `mh-variant-in-use' was | |
646 | initialized to nmh but you want to use mailutils, then you can set | |
647 | this option to `mailutils'. | |
648 | ||
649 | When this variable is changed, MH-E resets `mh-progs', `mh-lib', | |
650 | `mh-lib-progs', `mh-flists-present-flag', and `mh-variant-in-use' | |
651 | accordingly. | |
652 | ||
653 | If you've set these variables in your .emacs, it is strongly suggested | |
654 | that you comment them out. The MH detection code has been completely | |
655 | rewritten and it is very likely that you no longer to set them and | |
656 | their setting may confuse other MH-E settings. | |
657 | ||
658 | *** mh-xemacs-tool-bar-position | |
659 | ||
660 | Renamed from `mh-xemacs-toolbar-position' per GNU Emacs naming conventions. | |
661 | ||
662 | *** mh-xemacs-use-tool-bar-flag | |
c80ba99d BW |
663 | |
664 | Renamed from `mh-xemacs-use-toolbar-flag' per GNU Emacs naming conventions. | |
665 | ||
666 | *** mh-yank-behavior | |

c80ba99d BW |

702 | *** mh-junk-mail-folder |
703 | ||
704 | Since this variable can accept values other than folder names, it was | |

706 | ||
c80ba99d BW |

720 | ||
721 | This flag was redundant with and inconsistent with | |
722 | `goto-address-highlight-p' at the same time, so we removed it. Please | |
723 | customize `goto-address-highlight-p' if you wish to turn off email | |

f0d73c14 | 1001 | |
7c36a00a BW |
1002 | If you use spamassassin, there was an error when you tried to junk |
1003 | mail if the option `mh-junk-background' was set. This has been fixed. | |

7c36a00a | 1005 | *** Mairix Support |

7c36a00a | 1007 | Indexing now compatible with Mairix version 0.12 and later. |

1012 | ||
1013 | *** mh-rmail Hangs in XEmacs | |
1014 | ||
1015 | We've determined that MH-E is incompatible with some versions of | |
1016 | XEmacs (21.5.9-21.5.16). More recent versions work fine. If you think | |
1017 | our list is too broad, please let us know which version of XEmacs you | |
1018 | are using (closes SF #644321). | |
1019 | ||
7c36a00a BW |
1020 | *** Completions Offered by mh-refile-message Are Not Sorted |
1021 | ||
1022 | This behavior is no longer observed (closes SF #698734). | |
1023 | ||
1024 | *** Add Message-ID to Outgoing Messages | |
1025 | ||
1026 | If you replied to a message in your `+outbox', an `In-Reply-To:' | |
1027 | header field was created that broke threading at the recipient's end. | |
1028 | We now add a `Message-ID:' to outgoing messages which fixes this | |
1029 | (closes SF #725425). | |
1030 | ||
f0d73c14 BW |
1031 | *** Inconsistent Prompts |
1032 | ||
7c36a00a BW |
1033 | Emacs changed their defaults in prompts from "Prompt: [value]" to |
1034 | "Prompt (default value): ". All MH-E prompts have been updated to | |
1035 | comply with the new standard and are therefore now consistent | |
1036 | throughout the application (closes SF #730470, SF #1275933). | |
f0d73c14 BW |
1037 | |
1038 | *** Empty Shell Comments Confuse mh-mhn-directive-present-p | |
1039 | ||
1040 | If you had a string that matched the regexp "^# $" in your draft, it | |
1041 | would cause an error. This has been fixed (closes SF #762458). | |
1042 | ||
1043 | *** Quote Hashes When mhbuild Directives Used | |
1044 | ||
1045 | A related bug, if you had empty shell comments but inserted your own | |
1046 | directives, you'd get another error from mhbuild. This has been fixed | |
1047 | by quoting the hash ("^# $") like this "##" before submitting to | |
1048 | mhbuild (closes SF #762464). | |
1049 | ||
1050 | *** Inconsistent Usage in Scan Formatting Variables | |
1051 | ||
1052 | The variables: | |
1053 | ||
1054 | mh-note-cur | |
1055 | mh-note-deleted | |
1056 | mh-note-dist | |
1057 | mh-note-forw | |
1058 | mh-note-refiled | |
1059 | mh-note-repl | |
1060 | mh-note-seq | |
1061 | ||
1062 | used to contain strings. Although only the first character was read, | |
1063 | the entire string would be inserted which may have caused problems. | |
1064 | These variables have been converted to character constants so that | |
1065 | only a single character can be inserted into the scan line (closes SF | |
1066 | #770772). | |
1067 | ||
1068 | *** Bad Handling of Aliases That Conflict With Local User Names | |
1069 | ||
1070 | If a user name existed both locally and in the aliases file, the local | |
1071 | user would be flashed, but the alias would be used when sending. This | |
1072 | has been fixed so that the user name that is flashed is the same as | |
1073 | the name that is sent (closes SF #772595). | |
1074 | ||
7c36a00a | 1075 | *** Initialization Fails If ~/Mail Exists |
f0d73c14 | 1076 | |
7c36a00a BW |
1077 | MH-E no longer calls `install-mh' so this issue has gone away (closes |
1078 | SF #835192). | |
f0d73c14 BW |
1079 | |
1080 | *** Not Re-prompted to Sign After Pass Phrase Typo | |
1081 | ||
1082 | If there were errors when sending a signed message (like getting the | |
1083 | pass phrase wrong), the MML markup remained in the draft buffer. The | |
1084 | draft buffer is now restored if there is an error (closes SF #839303). | |
1085 | ||
1086 | *** Font-lock Gets Confused in MH-Letter Buffer | |
1087 | ||
1088 | If a user manually moved the cursor to the end of the header field | |
1089 | separator line (by mouse click or keyboard navigation) and hit Enter | |
1090 | to start typing their message, any line in the body with a colon would | |
1091 | be fontified with a gray background. This has been fixed (closes SF | |
1092 | #855479). | |
1093 | ||
7c36a00a BW |
1094 | *** RETURN Causes Infinite Loop in mh-letter |

1097 | ||
f0d73c14 BW |
1098 | *** mh-refile-msg Fails to Suggest Folder for Empty Message |
1099 | ||
1100 | If you received a message with an empty body from someone who is | |
7c36a00a BW |
1101 | listed in your aliases file, `o' (`mh-refile-msg') failed to suggest |
1102 | the correct folder. This has been fixed (closes SF #917096). | |
1103 | ||
1104 | *** Missing Headers When Replying to All | |
1105 | ||
1106 | User needed to edit `replgroupcomps' (closes SF #918194). | |
f0d73c14 BW |
1107 | |
1108 | *** Error Visiting Folder With no Unseen Messages | |
1109 | ||
1110 | If you visited a folder without unseen messages and the option "flist: | |
7c36a00a BW |
1111 | -noshowzero" is present in your `~/.mh_profile', you'd get an error. |
1112 | This has been fixed (closes SF #933954). | |
1113 | ||
1114 | *** Error Message When Trying to Send Using MH-E | |
1115 | ||
1116 | This behavior is no longer observed (closes SF #1002103). | |
1117 | ||
1118 | *** mh-find-path Doesn't Use mhparam | |
1119 | ||
1120 | MH-E no longer peeks into the MH profile `~/.mh_profile' directly. It | |
1121 | uses `mhparam' instead (closes SF #1016027). | |
1122 | ||
1123 | *** rmmproc Refile Complains No Such Message | |
1124 | ||
1125 | MH-E would get confused about which folder to delete messages from if | |
1126 | you were refiling and deleting messages at the same time. This has | |
1127 | been fixed (closes SF #1023959). | |
1128 | ||
1129 | *** auto-mode-alist Updated | |
1130 | ||
1131 | MH-E originally updated auto-mode-alist to set the major mode of | |
1132 | drafts. Now that we explicitly set the mode, there is no reason to do | |
1133 | this, and this behavior caused problems for people who didn't use MH-E | |
1134 | who were editing files that looked like MH message files (closes SF | |
1135 | #1032353). | |
1136 | ||
1137 | *** ! Doesn't Do Regions | |
1138 | ||
1139 | Now it does (closes SF #1046330). | |
1140 | ||
1141 | *** mh-show-unquote-From Fails (read-only buffer) | |
1142 | ||
1143 | MH-E quotes the `From ' header field that is inserted by MTAs. | |
1144 | However, it was trying to do this in a read-only buffer. This has been | |
1145 | fixed (closes SF #1089870). | |
1146 | ||
1147 | *** Whitespace in pick Expressions | |
1148 | ||
1149 | The `C-u / s RET' command now works. In addition, you can now add | |
1150 | whitespace to any of the limiting (/) commands (closes SF #1122655). | |
1151 | ||
1152 | *** mh-index-previous-folder Does Not Work Correctly | |
1153 | ||
1154 | If your cursor was on an item below a folder heading and you used | |
1155 | `M-TAB' (`mh-index-previous-folder'), you would move to the previous | |
1156 | folder heading. This has been fixed (closes SF #1126188). | |
1157 | ||
1158 | *** Default Identity Prevents Insertion of Auto Fields | |
1159 | ||
1160 | Auto insertion of an identity now occurs even when the default | |
1161 | identity is used (closes SF #1204506). | |
1162 | ||
1163 | *** mh-compose-forward and Default Message Number | |
1164 | ||
1165 | `mh-compose-forward' will now default to the sent message in the sent | |
1166 | folder and the `cur' message in other folders. It also takes ranges of | |
1167 | messages and can include multiple messages at a time (closes SF | |
1168 | #1205890). | |
1169 | ||
1170 | *** Better Handling of Empty cur Sequence | |
1171 | ||
1172 | If you refiled a message into a folder and then used `F r' | |
1173 | (`mh-rescan-folder') in that folder, your cursor would be taken to the | |
1174 | first message. The cursor now stays where it was (closes SF #1207247). | |
1175 | ||
1176 | *** mh-customize Uses Group mh, Not mh-e | |
1177 | ||
1178 | The `mh' customization group alias has been deleted to avoid some | |
1179 | problems that were found (closes SF #1213716). | |
1180 | ||
1181 | *** "Args out of range" Error in Displaying Message | |
1182 | ||
1183 | This behavior is no longer observed (closes SF #1227504). | |
1184 | ||
1185 | *** Front-and-back Truncation in mailto: Rendering | |
1186 | ||
1187 | This behavior is no longer observed (closes SF #1227510). | |
1188 | ||
1189 | *** Name of the Draft File in mh-comp.el | |
1190 | ||
1191 | MH is documented to use the draft file. If you use a draft file for | |
1192 | something else (like Sylpheed), then use draft folders (closes SF | |
1193 | #1231483). | |
1194 | ||
1195 | *** font-lock Error in mh-letter-mode | |
1196 | ||
1197 | An error in MH-E was introduced as a result of a change in CVS Emacs. | |
1198 | This has been fixed (closes SF #1241017). | |
1199 | ||
1200 | *** Msg Display Broken After Displaying Msg with Inline Image | |
1201 | ||
1202 | Messages with inline images no longer trim certain message header | |
1203 | fields (closes SF #1306141). | |
1204 | ||
1205 | *** mh-visit-folder Munges font-lock-keywords | |
1206 | ||
1207 | MH-E broke highlighting in Gnus buffers. This was actually a problem | |
1208 | in CVS Emacs 22 and has been fixed there (closes SF #1393879). | |
1209 | ||
1210 | *** Illegal Filename Chars for W32 Filesystems | |
1211 | ||
1212 | Windows users who view `X-Image-URL:' images could not cache the | |
1213 | images since the cached image file names had illegal characters. This | |
1214 | has been fixed (closes SF #1396499). | |
1215 | ||
1216 | *** mh-send Doesn't Handle mml Insertions Via mail-user-agent | |
1217 | ||
1218 | Can now forward messages in Gnus if MH-E is your `mail-user-agent' | |
1219 | (closes SF #1399307). | |
1220 | ||
1221 | *** Can't Narrow to Subject with Regexp Chars | |
1222 | ||
1223 | The command `/ s' could not limit subjects that had special pick | |
1224 | characters (such as [, *, $, .). This has been fixed (closes SF | |
1225 | #1432548). | |
1226 | ||
1227 | *** `/ s' Can Miss the Original Mail | |
1228 | ||
1229 | The command `/ s' failed to include the message with the "Re:" in the | |
1230 | Subject. This has been fixed (closes SF #1438369). | |
1231 | ||
1232 | *** mhparam -components Fails on mailutils | |
1233 | ||
1234 | This error prevented MH-E from loading when using GNU mailutils. GNU | |
1235 | mailutils drops the `s' in this argument, so we did too since | |
1236 | -component still works in nmh and MH (closes SF #1446985). | |
1237 | ||
1238 | *** `/ s' Still Has Problems With []'d Mail | |
1239 | ||
1240 | On XEmacs, subjects that had special characters would prevent `/ s' | |
1241 | from narrowing to the given subject. These characters are now quoted | |
1242 | correctly in XEmacs (closes SF #1447598). | |
1243 | ||
1244 | *** Variable mh-send-args Is a String, Not a List | |
1245 | ||
1246 | This was causing errors when sending under GNU mailutils. The internal | |
1247 | variable `mh-send-args' is now a list which fixes the problem (closes | |
1248 | SF #1448604). | |
1249 | ||
1250 | *** Update Icons | |
1251 | ||
1252 | Most of the tool bar icons have been replaced by GTK or GNOME 2 icons | |
1253 | (closes SF #1452715). | |
1254 | ||
1255 | *** Strip Build Number From emacs-version in X-Mailer | |
1256 | ||
1257 | This has been done (closes SF #1466481). | |
1258 | ||
1259 | *** Rename Function and Variable Definers | |
1260 | ||
1261 | If you had ever shown help for an MH-E symbol that was both a function | |
1262 | or variable, you might have found that the hyperlink to the file | |
1263 | brought you to the wrong definition. This has been fixed by renaming | |
1264 | the macros `mh-defgroup', `mh-defcustom', `mh-defface', | |
1265 | `mh-defun-compat', and `mh-defmacro-compat' to `defgroup-mh', | |
1266 | `defcustom-mh', `defface-mh', `defun-mh', `defmacro-mh' respectively | |
1267 | (closes SF #1472029). | |
1268 | ||
1269 | *** mh-insert-letter Uses Wrong Default | |
1270 | ||
1271 | If you had used `C-c TAB' (`mh-insert-letter') to insert a letter into | |
1272 | your draft, specified a different folder, and chose the default | |
1273 | message number, you got the wrong message. This has been fixed (closes | |
1274 | SF #1473729). | |

1278 | * Changes in MH-E 7.4.4 |
1279 | ||
1280 | Version 7.4.4 addresses programmatic issues from the FSF and prepares | |
bf247b6e | 1281 | MH-E for inclusion into an impending GNU Emacs release (22.1). There |
a66894d8 BW |
1282 | are no user-visible changes (unless you are using XEmacs on DOS or |
1283 | don't have the cl package installed). Filenames are now unique in | |
1284 | their first 8 characters (DOS 8.3 requirement). The runtime dependency | |
1285 | on the cl package has been removed. Desktop saving and restoration | |
1286 | code moved here from desktop.el. | |
1287 | ||
1288 | * Changes in MH-E 7.4.3 | |
1289 | ||
f0d73c14 | 1290 | Version 7.4.3 fixes the problem where `mh-identity-list' was not getting |
a66894d8 BW |
1291 | set from .emacs. |
1292 | ||
1293 | * Changes in MH-E 7.4.2 | |
1294 | ||
1295 | Version 7.4.2 fixes the accidental dependence on nmh (closes SF | |
1296 | #791021). | |
1297 | ||
1298 | * Changes in MH-E 7.4.1 | |
1299 | ||
1300 | Version 7.4.1 fixes the Makefile so it no longer tries to compile | |
1301 | mh-unit.el. | |
1302 | ||
1303 | * Changes in MH-E 7.4 | |
1304 | ||
1305 | Version 7.4 contains many new useful features including arbitrary MH | |
1306 | range handling, new draft features such as draft form editing, as well | |
1307 | as sequence propagation and manipulation. We've also fixed bugs and | |
1308 | added a handful of new variables. | |
1309 | ||
1310 | ** New Features in MH-E 7.4 | |
1311 | ||
1312 | *** Add Arbitrary Ranges to MH-E UI | |
1313 | ||
1314 | MH-E now handles any legal MH range (such as last:5 or 4 8 10-12) | |
1315 | wherever you're prompted for a message number or sequence (closes SF | |
1316 | #728638). | |
1317 | ||
1318 | *** Remove Prompting in mh-send | |
1319 | ||
1320 | Brian Reid's original mhe didn't do prompting anywhere but used forms | |
1321 | instead. While we won't go that far, we eliminated prompting where a | |
1322 | form is already involved, such as in composing a message. | |
1323 | ||
1324 | The new customization variable `mh-compose-prompt-flag' can be set to | |
1325 | t to get the original behavior (closes SF #745622). | |
1326 | ||
1327 | *** Use TAB to Switch Fields in Header | |
1328 | ||
1329 | When composing a message, TAB and SHIFT-TAB can be used to move | |
1330 | quickly between header fields. The new customization variable, | |
1331 | `mh-compose-skipped-header-fields', contains a list of header fields | |
1332 | that are skipped and truncated if they are too long (closes SF | |
1333 | #745627). | |
1334 | ||
1335 | *** Alias Completion in Composition Buffer | |
1336 | ||
1337 | Aliases can be completed in the draft with "M-TAB | |
1338 | (mh-letter-complete)". Or, if the customization variable | |
1339 | `mh-compose-space-does-completion-flag' is set to t, then a "SPC | |
1340 | (mh-letter-complete-or-space)" with do the same thing. If | |
1341 | `mh-alias-flash-on-comma' is non-nil, ", (mh-letter-confirm-address)" | |
1342 | will show the alias expansion in the minibuffer (closes SF #745634). | |
1343 | ||
1344 | *** Auto Fields Should be Inserted During Send | |
1345 | ||
1346 | Fields that were inserted by the multiple personality code when the | |
1347 | draft was sent now insert the header fields when the draft is composed | |
1348 | to give you a chance to edit them (closes SF #747890). | |
1349 | ||
1350 | *** mh-index-tick-messages | |
1351 | ||
1352 | The command "F ' (mh-index-ticked-messages)" creates a buffer with all | |
1353 | messages ticked with "' (mh-toggle-tick)" in the folders listed in the | |
1354 | new customization variable `mh-index-ticked-messages-folders'. Chances | |
1355 | are that if you set `mh-index-new-messages-folders', you'll want to | |
1356 | set `mh-index-ticked-messages-folders' accordingly. | |
1357 | ||
1358 | In addition, a general function, "F q (mh-index-sequenced-messages)" | |
1359 | has been provided that displays messages in the `mh-unseen-seq' in the | |
1360 | folders listed `mh-index-new-messages-folders', unless a prefix | |
1361 | argument is given, in which case you can provide both a list of | |
1362 | folders and a sequence (closes SF #718833). | |
1363 | ||
1364 | *** Narrow to Region | |
1365 | ||
1366 | If there is a region, "/ r (mh-narrow-to-range)" will only consider | |
1367 | those messages in the region. In addition, there is now a stack of | |
1368 | folder limits which can be popped with "/ w (mh-widen)". With a prefix | |
1369 | arg, all the restrictions are popped off of the stack (closes SF | |
1370 | #732823). | |
1371 | ||
1372 | *** Narrow to Ticked Sequence | |
1373 | ||
1374 | The buffer can now be narrowed to ticked messages with "S ' | |
1375 | (mh-narrow-to-tick)" (closes SF #732825). | |
1376 | ||
1377 | *** Display Multiple Buttons for multipart/alternative | |
1378 | ||
1379 | A new customizable variable, | |
1380 | `mh-display-buttons-for-alternatives-flag', was added to display | |
1381 | buttons for the alternatives. The default value is nil to retain the | |
1382 | current behavior (closes SF #741288). | |
1383 | ||
1384 | *** Identity Menu Changes | |
1385 | ||
1386 | A menu item has been added that inserts custom fields if the To or Cc | |
1387 | header fields match `mh-auto-fields-list'. | |
1388 | ||
1389 | ** New Variables in MH-E 7.4 | |
1390 | ||
1391 | *** mh-alias-local-users-prefix | |
1392 | ||
1393 | This string is prepended to the real names of users from the passwd | |
1394 | file. If nil, use the username string unmodified instead of the real | |
1395 | name from the gecos field of the passwd file. | |
1396 | ||
1397 | *** mh-alias-passwd-gecos-comma-separator-flag | |
1398 | ||
1399 | Non-nil means the gecos field in the passwd file uses comma as a | |
1400 | separator. Used to construct aliases for users in the passwd file." | |
1401 | ||
1402 | *** mh-interpret-number-as-range-flag | |
1403 | ||
1404 | Non-nil means interpret a number as a range. If the variable is | |
1405 | non-nil, and you use an integer, N, when asked for a range to scan, | |
1406 | then MH-E uses the range "last:N". | |
1407 | ||
1408 | *** mh-kill-folder-suppress-prompt-hook | |
1409 | ||
1410 | This new hook is invoked at the beginning of the `F k | |
1411 | (mh-kill-folder)' command. It is a list of functions to be called, | |
1412 | with no arguments, which should return a value of non-nil if you | |
1413 | should not be asked if you're sure that you want to remove the folder. | |
1414 | This is useful for folders that are easily regenerated. | |
1415 | ||
1416 | The default value of `mh-index-p' suppresses the prompt on folders | |
1417 | generated by an index search. | |
1418 | ||
1419 | WARNING: Use this hook with care. If there is a bug in your hook which | |
1420 | returns t on +inbox and you hit `F k' by accident in the +inbox | |
1421 | buffer, you will not be happy. | |
1422 | ||
1423 | *** mh-refile-preserves-sequences-flag | |
1424 | ||
1425 | Non-nil means that sequences are preserved when messages are refiled. | |
1426 | If this variable is non-nil and a message belonging to a sequence | |
1427 | other than cur or Previous-Sequence (see mh-profile 5) is refiled then | |
1428 | it is put in the same sequence in the destination folder. Additional | |
1429 | sequences that should not to be preserved can be specified by setting | |
1430 | `mh-unpropagated-sequences' appropriately. | |
1431 | ||
1432 | *** mh-visible-header-fields | |
1433 | ||
1434 | Customize this instead of `mh-visible-headers', which is now a defvar. | |
1435 | This was done to mimic the relationship between | |
1436 | `mh-invisible-header-fields' and `mh-invisible-fields'. | |
1437 | ||
1438 | ** Variables Deleted in MH-E 7.4 | |
1439 | ||
1440 | *** mh-visible-headers | |
1441 | ||
1442 | See the paragraph for `mh-visible-header-fields' above. | |
1443 | ||
1444 | ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.4 | |
1445 | ||
1446 | *** Aliases Constantly Reloaded | |
1447 | ||
1448 | The system aliases are not loaded as often as they were, so the | |
1449 | completion speed has been dramatically improved if your passwd file is | |
1450 | large (closes SF #693859). | |
1451 | ||
1452 | *** Folders in MH-Index View Not Saved | |
1453 | ||
1454 | When you perform a search to produce an MH-Index buffer, the folders | |
1455 | that contain the messages are shown. If the MH-Index buffer was | |
1456 | deleted, or Emacs was restarted and the corresponding folder | |
1457 | rescanned, the folder information would be lost. This has been fixed | |
1458 | by saving the information in a file called ".mhe_index" (closes SF | |
1459 | #701762). | |
1460 | ||
1461 | *** Ticking Messages in +mhe-index/new | |
1462 | ||
1463 | If a new message in a buffer created by "F n" was ticked (with "'"), | |
1464 | the message would not be added to the tick sequence in the source | |
1465 | folder. This has been fixed so that any sequence changes in any index | |
1466 | folder (from within MH-E of course) are now reflected back to the | |
1467 | corresponding source folder (closes SF #709664). | |
1468 | ||
1469 | *** Custom Vars Set by a Function | |
1470 | ||
1471 | The default setting of customization variable `mh-summary-height' is | |
1472 | now `nil' which means MH-E will change the size dynamically according | |
1473 | to the size of the frame (closes SF #723267). | |
1474 | ||
1475 | *** Folder Completion Slow | |
1476 | ||
1477 | The first folder completion was very slow. This has been fixed (closes | |
1478 | SF #730426). | |
1479 | ||
1480 | *** Tick Sequence Persistent When Refiled | |
1481 | ||
1482 | Sequences are now preserved when messages are refiled (closes SF | |
1483 | #737128). | |
1484 | ||
1485 | *** Auto-inserted Header Fields Inconsistent | |
1486 | ||
1487 | For consistency, all automatically inserted header fields (such as | |
1488 | X-Mailer and X-Face) are added when the draft is first presented to | |
1489 | you. This also gives you a chance to edit or delete them if necessary | |
1490 | (closes SF #745624). Note that we would be distressed if you deleted | |
1491 | the X-Mailer field. | |
1492 | ||
1493 | *** Toolbar Spec Error | |
1494 | ||
1495 | The following message appeared when displaying a message in XEmacs: | |
1496 | ||
1497 | Signaling: (error "Toolbar spec must be list or nil" ) | |
1498 | ||
1499 | This has been fixed (closes SF #745655). | |
1500 | ||
1501 | *** mh-index-search Doesn't Find Short Acronyms | |
1502 | ||
1503 | Swish typically ignores words with fewer than four letters, but will | |
1504 | still look for acronyms. Unfortunately, MH-E was downcasing the input | |
1505 | words which defeated this feature. This has been fixed (closes SF | |
1506 | #755718). | |
1507 | ||
1508 | \f | |
924df208 BW |
1509 | |
1510 | * Changes in MH-E 7.3 | |
1511 | ||
286fbd0f BW |
1512 | This release includes the new features of an index view of unseen |
1513 | messages in all folders, spam software support, relative folder | |
1514 | specification @ support, marking messages, recipient handling by | |
1515 | mh-default-folder-list, Face and X-Image-URL header field support, and | |
1516 | Fcc completion. Function arguments have been unified. Bugs have been | |
1517 | fixed. | |
1518 | ||
924df208 BW |
1519 | ** New Features in MH-E 7.3 |
1520 | ||
286fbd0f | 1521 | *** Unified Function Arguments |
924df208 BW |
1522 | |
1523 | Any function with MSG-OR-SEQ in its docstring uses the displayed | |
1524 | message by default for this argument. However, if a prefix argument is | |
1525 | provided, then the user is prompted for a message sequence. If the | |
1526 | variable `transient-mark-mode' is non-nil and the mark is active, then | |
1527 | the function operates on the messages in the selected region. In a | |
1528 | program, MSG-OR-SEQ can be a message number, a list of message | |
1529 | numbers, a region in a cons cell, or a sequence. | |
1530 | ||
286fbd0f | 1531 | *** MH-Index View of Unseen Messages |
924df208 BW |
1532 | |
1533 | Use "F n (mh-index-new-messages)" or Folder -> View New Messages menu | |
1534 | item to display messages in the `mh-unseen-seq' sequence in folders | |
1535 | specified by `mh-index-new-messages-folders'. With a prefix argument, | |
1536 | enter a space-separated list of folders, or nothing to search all | |
1537 | folders. | |
1538 | ||
1539 | Like other MH-Index folders, use "v (mh-index-visit-folder)" if you | |
1540 | wish to visit the original folder with the unseen message. This is | |
1541 | usually not necessary since the original message is annotated if you | |
1542 | reply, deleted if you delete the message, or refiled if you refile the | |
1543 | message (closes SF #701756). | |
1544 | ||
286fbd0f | 1545 | *** Spam Software Support |
924df208 BW |
1546 | |
1547 | MH-E now supports several spam filters including Bogofilter, | |
1548 | SpamProbe, and SpamAssassin. Spam that is mistakenly considered to be | |
1549 | good mail can be reclassified as spam with "J b (mh-junk-blacklist)". | |
1550 | Conversely, good mail that is accidently considered to be spam can be | |
1551 | reclassified with "J w (mh-junk-whitelist)" (closes SF #669518). | |
1552 | ||
1553 | If a message is blacklisted, and `mh-junk-mail-folder' is a string, | |
1554 | then the message is refiled to that folder. If this variable is nil, | |
1555 | the message is deleted. If a message is whitelisted, then the message | |
1556 | is refiled to `mh-inbox'. | |
1557 | ||
1558 | To change the spam program being used, customize `mh-junk-program'. | |
1559 | This should only be necessary if you have multiple filters on your | |
1560 | system and MH-E picked the wrong one. These customization variables | |
1561 | are found in the new customization group `mh-junk'. | |
1562 | ||
1563 | The documentation for the following functions describes what setup is | |
1564 | needed for the different spam fighting programs: | |
1565 | ||
1566 | - `mh-bogofilter-blacklist' | |
1567 | - `mh-spamprobe-blacklist' | |
1568 | - `mh-spamassassin-blacklist' | |
1569 | ||
286fbd0f | 1570 | *** Relative Folder Specification @ Supported |
924df208 BW |
1571 | |
1572 | You can now use the relative folder marker @ in folder names (closes | |
1573 | SF #666774). | |
1574 | ||
286fbd0f | 1575 | *** Marking Messages |
924df208 BW |
1576 | |
1577 | Messages can now be highlighted with "' (mh-toggle-tick)", Sequence -> | |
1578 | Toggle Tick Mark menu item or the "Toggle tick mark" button. These | |
1579 | messages are added to the "tick" sequence, although this sequence can | |
1580 | be changed in `mh-tick-seq'. The highlighting effect can be modified | |
1581 | by customizing `mh-folder-tick-face' (closes SF #623367). | |
1582 | ||
1583 | There is also a new keybinding "/ ' (mh-narrow-to-tick)" and menu item | |
1584 | Sequence -> Narrow to Tick Sequence to narrow the view to the | |
1585 | highlighted messages. | |
1586 | ||
286fbd0f | 1587 | *** mh-default-folder-list Now Takes Recipients |
924df208 BW |
1588 | |
1589 | If you wish to file a message based upon the recipient of a message | |
1590 | (such as a mailing list), you can now indicate that when filling out | |
1591 | the address in the `mh-default-folder-list' customization variable. | |
1592 | ||
286fbd0f | 1593 | *** Face Header Field Supported |
924df208 BW |
1594 | |
1595 | In addition to the X-Face header field, the Face header field, which | |
1596 | can display color images, is now supported. As a bonus, the external | |
1597 | xface-e21 library is no longer required. | |
1598 | ||
286fbd0f | 1599 | *** X-Image-URL Support |
924df208 BW |
1600 | |
1601 | Images specified in X-Image-URL header fields are now supported. | |
1602 | See the customization variable `mh-fetch-x-image-url' to enable this | |
1603 | support. | |
1604 | ||
286fbd0f | 1605 | *** Fcc Completion |
924df208 BW |
1606 | |
1607 | Folders in Fcc fields in message drafts can now be completed with | |
1608 | M-TAB. | |
1609 | ||
1610 | ** New Variables in MH-E 7.3 | |
1611 | ||
1612 | Variables that have been added to MH-E that have not been discussed | |
1613 | elsewhere are listed here. | |
1614 | ||
1615 | *** mh-auto-fields-list | |
1616 | ||
1617 | Alist of addresses for which header lines are automatically inserted. | |
1618 | When a regular expression matches in the To or cc fields of a message, | |
1619 | the corresponding header field is automatically inserted in the | |
1620 | message header. It also allows the automatic setting of an identity | |
1621 | (using `mh-insert-identity') to set an alternate identity when sending | |
1622 | messages to a certain person or mailing list. | |
1623 | ||
1624 | Since this is a more general use of `mh-insert-mail-followup-to-flag' | |
1625 | and `mh-insert-mail-followup-to-list', these variables have been removed. | |
1626 | ||
1627 | *** mh-show-xface-face | |
1628 | ||
1629 | Face for displaying the X-Face image. | |
1630 | ||
1631 | *** mh-xemacs-toolbar-position | |
1632 | ||
1633 | This customization variable allows the user to place the toolbar on | |
1634 | the four edges of the frame. | |
1635 | ||
1636 | *** mh-xemacs-use-toolbar-flag | |
1637 | ||
1638 | This customization variable is used to enable or disable the toolbar | |
1639 | under XEmacs. | |
1640 | ||
1641 | ** Variables Deleted in MH-E 7.3 | |
1642 | ||
1643 | Variables that have been removed from MH-E that have not been | |
1644 | discussed elsewhere are listed here. | |
1645 | ||
1646 | *** mh-decode-content-transfer-encoded-message-flag | |
1647 | ||
1648 | No longer needed since the external program mimencode is no longer | |
1649 | used. | |
1650 | ||
1651 | *** mh-index-show-hook | |
1652 | ||
1653 | This hook was never used, so it was removed. | |
1654 | ||
1655 | *** mh-tool-bar-reply-3-buttons-flag | |
1656 | ||
1657 | Obsolete. This functionality is present `mh-tool-bar-folder-buttons'. | |
1658 | ||
1659 | ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.3 | |
1660 | ||
286fbd0f | 1661 | *** Can't Refile Message |
924df208 BW |
1662 | |
1663 | Messages with invalid addresses were causing errors in ali which | |
1664 | prevented the refiling of messages. The ali error is now shown in the | |
1665 | "*MH-E Log*" buffer and refiling suggests the last folder used (closes | |
1666 | SF #680388). | |
1667 | ||
286fbd0f | 1668 | *** Empty Body Triggers Duped Header |
924df208 BW |
1669 | |
1670 | If the body was empty the header would be treated like the body and | |
1671 | was therefore displayed twice. This has been fixed (closes SF | |
1672 | #681162). | |
1673 | ||
286fbd0f | 1674 | *** mml or mhl Directives Not Always Processed |
924df208 BW |
1675 | |
1676 | The mml and mhl directives used to create body parts were not | |
1677 | processed if one re-edited a draft, or if they added the directives | |
1678 | manually. The directives are now always processed upon sending the | |
1679 | letter. You may still, of course, use "C-c C-m m (mh-mml-to-mime)" or | |
1680 | "C-c C-e (mh-edit-mhn)" to manually create the MIME body parts from | |
1681 | the directives and then send the draft. | |
1682 | ||
286fbd0f | 1683 | *** mh-alias-grab-from-field Fails |
924df208 BW |
1684 | |
1685 | MH-E was adding aliases with angle brackets around the address when | |
1686 | there wasn't a phrase (usually, the user's name), to go with it. This | |
1687 | caused ali to fail which caused problems in MH-E. This is probably a | |
1688 | bug in ali, but MH-E no longer inserts angle brackets around the | |
1689 | address unless there is a phrase, which avoids the problem (closes SF | |
1690 | #690216). | |
1691 | ||
286fbd0f | 1692 | *** XEmacs Fixes |
924df208 BW |
1693 | |
1694 | MH-E is now fully supported under XEmacs and compiles without any | |
1695 | warnings. | |
1696 | ||
1697 | In particular, the following now work under XEmacs: | |
1698 | ||
1699 | - X-Face, Face, and X-Image-URL header fields | |
1700 | - MH-E logo in mode line | |
1701 | - Emphasis (bold, italics, etc.) | |
1702 | - Smilies | |
1703 | - Toolbar | |
1704 | ||
286fbd0f | 1705 | *** Indexed Folders Should Respect mh-show-threads-flag |
924df208 BW |
1706 | |
1707 | Indexed folders are now threaded if `mh-show-threads-flag' is non-nil | |
1708 | (closes SF #709667). | |
1709 | ||
286fbd0f | 1710 | *** Threading Index View Loses Folder Info |
924df208 BW |
1711 | |
1712 | This has been fixed (closes SF #709672). | |
1713 | ||
286fbd0f | 1714 | *** No Undo Information When Re-editing Drafts |
924df208 BW |
1715 | |
1716 | Undo is turned on in the draft buffer when using "e (mh-edit-again)" | |
1717 | (closes SF #712777). | |
1718 | ||
286fbd0f | 1719 | *** Forwarded base64-encoded Messages Are Incorrectly Displayed |
924df208 BW |
1720 | |
1721 | This has been fixed (closes SF #681518). | |
1722 | ||
286fbd0f | 1723 | *** Append to *MH-E Log* Buffer |
924df208 BW |
1724 | |
1725 | The last 100 lines of log messages are kept in the *MH-E Log* buffer. | |
1726 | Previously, the buffer was erased every time it was written (closes SF | |
1727 | #685476). In addition, many of the MH-E commands now send their output | |
1728 | into this buffer instead of a plethora of other special-purpose | |
1729 | buffers. | |
1730 | ||
286fbd0f | 1731 | *** mh-inc-folder Complains if No Mail and No Current Message |
924df208 BW |
1732 | |
1733 | The function `mh-inc-folder' no longer calls `mh-show' if point is not | |
1734 | on a valid scan line. This keeps `mh-inc-folder' from complaining | |
1735 | (closes SF #678115). | |
1736 | ||
286fbd0f | 1737 | *** Folder Normalization Strips Leading Slash |
924df208 BW |
1738 | |
1739 | Leading "/" characters in folder names entered by the user were being | |
1740 | lost. This has been fixed (closes SF #676890). | |
1741 | ||
286fbd0f | 1742 | *** Print Header Doesn't Show Message |
924df208 BW |
1743 | |
1744 | When printing a sequence, the header simply indicated that a sequence, | |
1745 | but not which one, was being printed and did not show the message | |
1746 | number. This has been fixed. If more than one message is printed, a | |
1747 | page of the scan lines is printed and its header indicates the | |
1748 | sequence or message range. The pages with the actual messages all set | |
1749 | the header to the folder and message displayed on that page. | |
1750 | ||
286fbd0f | 1751 | *** Aliases Constantly Reloaded |
924df208 BW |
1752 | |
1753 | Empty lists are now handled properly (closes SF #693859). | |
1754 | ||
286fbd0f | 1755 | *** Remove RCS Keywords |
924df208 BW |
1756 | |
1757 | Removed RCS keywords per Emacs conventions (closes SF #680731). | |
1758 | ||
286fbd0f | 1759 | *** Replace Mimencode |
924df208 BW |
1760 | |
1761 | MH-E was enhanced to decode message based on charset and | |
1762 | Content-Transfer-Encoding. This eliminates the need for the external | |
1763 | program mimencode (closes SF #674857). | |

1767 | * Changes in MH-E 7.2 |
1768 | ||
1769 | This release includes the new features of filing hints, hierarchical | |
1770 | file name completion, indexed search and pick integration, unification | |
1771 | between `mh-visit-folder' and the speedbar, a displayed message | |
1772 | indicator, buffer name organization, support for mairix indexed | |
1773 | search, and last but not least, the MH-E logo has been added to the | |
1774 | mode line. Code that handles sequences and message regions runs | |
1775 | faster. Bugs have been fixed. | |
1776 | ||
1777 | ** New Features in MH-E 7.2 | |
1778 | ||
1779 | *** Filing Hints | |
1780 | ||
1781 | When you file a message, MH-E now looks for an alias corresponding to | |
1782 | the address of the sender and offers that as a default folder (closes | |
1783 | SF #657096). The new variable `mh-default-folder-prefix' can be used | |
1784 | to put these folders in a sub-folder. The new variable | |
1785 | `mh-default-folder-must-exist-flag' means to suppress the suggested | |
1786 | folder (thereby providing the previous folder used) if the folder | |
1787 | doesn't already exist. The new variable `mh-default-folder-list' can | |
1788 | be used to map additional addresses and folders. | |
1789 | ||
1790 | *** Hierarchical File Name Completion | |
1791 | ||
1792 | When you completed filenames in the past, you were presented with a | |
1793 | list of all your folders at all depths in the tree. Now you are | |
1794 | presented with only one level at a time (closes SF #664821). | |
1795 | As a result, the variables `mh-auto-folder-collect-flag' and | |
1796 | `mh-folder-list-change-hook' are obsolete. | |
1797 | ||
1798 | *** Indexed Search and Pick Integration | |
1799 | ||
1800 | The indexed and pick searches have been integrated (closes SF | |
1801 | #664816). Both "F s (mh-search-folder)" and "F i (mh-index-search)" | |
1802 | use the pick template for forming queries. To submit the query, use | |
1803 | "C-c C-c (mh-do-search)" which will use the query method you selected. | |
1804 | If you change your mind while forming the query, you can use "C-c C-i | |
1805 | (mh-index-do-search)" or "C-c C-p (mh-pick-do-search)" to submit the | |
1806 | query using the respective method. | |
1807 | ||
1808 | Second, the results from a pick search are now saved in a sub-folder | |
1809 | of +mhe-index like an indexed search. | |
1810 | ||
1811 | Third, `pick' is now a valid choice for `mh-index-program'. | |
1812 | ||
1813 | *** mh-visit-folder Metamorphosis Continues | |
1814 | ||
1815 | When visiting a folder from the speedbar, only the unseen messages are | |
1816 | shown if there are unseen messages. If there aren't any unseen | |
1817 | messages, all of the messages are shown if there are fewer than | |
1818 | `mh-large-folder' messages; otherwise, the user is prompted for the | |
1819 | range of messages to display. The "F v (mh-visit-folder)" command has | |
1820 | been modified to mimic this behavior. Use a prefix arg to force the | |
1821 | message range prompt. | |
1822 | ||
1823 | *** Displayed Message Indicator | |
1824 | ||
1825 | In graphical Emacs, the message that is shown is marked by a triangle | |
1826 | in the fringe. In textual Emacs, there is a ">" in the first column | |
1827 | (closes SF #664824). | |
1828 | ||
1829 | *** Buffer Name Organization | |
1830 | ||
1831 | All ephemeral buffer names start with " *mh" while all interesting | |
1832 | buffers start with "*MH-E ". The "*Folders*", "*Sequences*", and | |
1833 | "*Recipients*" buffers were therefore renamed to "*MH-E Folders*", | |
1834 | "*MH-E Sequences*" and "*MH-E Recipients*" respectively (programmers | |
1835 | should see mh-utils.el for the names of the new constants). Also, the | |
1836 | output of MH commands is saved in the "*MH-E Log*" buffer. | |
1837 | ||
1838 | *** mh-index-program | |
1839 | ||
1840 | Add choices for `mairix' and `pick'. | |
1841 | ||
1842 | *** Logo Displayed on Mode Line | |
1843 | ||
1844 | ** New Variables in MH-E 7.2 | |
1845 | ||
1846 | The new variables have been discussed elsewhere. | |
1847 | ||
1848 | ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.2 | |
1849 | ||
1850 | *** mh-decode-content-transfer-encoded-message | |
1851 | ||
1852 | Messages that had been encoded with base64 were not decoded. This has | |
1853 | been fixed with this new function (closes SF #674190). As a result, | |
1854 | the variable `mh-decode-quoted-printable-flag' has been renamed to | |
1855 | `mh-decode-content-transfer-encoded-message-flag'. | |
1856 | ||
1857 | *** mh-kill-folder | |
1858 | ||
1859 | Now restores previous window configuration (closes SF #664828). | |
1860 | ||
1861 | *** mh-mime-display | |
1862 | ||
1863 | MH-E was not using the charset defined in the content-type | |
1864 | header. This meant that mail in a different charset would not | |
1865 | be properly displayed. This has been fixed (closes SF #655123). | |
1866 | ||
1867 | *** mh-read-address | |
1868 | ||
1869 | In XEmacs and Emacs20, this function would always prompt using "To: " | |
1870 | instead of using the command argument. This has been fixed (closes SF | |
1871 | #670913). | |
1872 | ||
1873 | *** mh-rmail | |
1874 | ||
1875 | Unseen messages are now shown in addition to new ones (closes SF | |
1876 | #667542). | |
1877 | ||
1878 | *** mh-scan-msg-overflow-regexp | |
1879 | ||
1880 | Change the variable so that a space is always maintained in the | |
1881 | beginning of the scan line. | |
1882 | ||
1883 | *** mh-swish-execute-search | |
1884 | ||
1885 | The example configuration file in the docstring didn't show the | |
1886 | backslash in the FileRules filename. If the example had been used | |
1887 | literally by the user, no files would be indexed! This has been fixed | |
1888 | (closes SF #665888). | |
1889 | ||
1890 | *** mh-thread-refile | |
1891 | ||
1892 | The "T o (mh-thread-refile)" command did not provide refiling hints | |
1893 | like `mh-refile-msg'. This has been fixed (closes SF #664829). | |
1894 | ||
1895 | *** mh-toggle-threads | |
1896 | ||
1897 | If the threaded view was modified and then toggled, the standard view | |
1898 | may not have been accurate (as it contained a potentially old first | |
1899 | message to last message range). This has been fixed (closes SF | |
1900 | #626117). | |
1901 | ||
1902 | *** mh-tool-bar-show-set, mh-tool-bar-letter-set, mh-tool-bar-folder-set | |
1903 | ||
1904 | Clicking the customize and help buttons now deletes the other windows | |
1905 | in the frame. | |
1906 | ||
1907 | *** mh-version | |
1908 | ||
1909 | The "M-x mh-version" command displayed "Aliasfile: aliases". This has | |
1910 | been fixed (closes SF #664467). See Buffer Name Organization above. | |
1911 | ||
1912 | \f | |
1913 | ||
1914 | * Changes in MH-E 7.1 | |
c3d9274a BW |
1915 | |
1916 | This release includes the new features of multiple identities and | |
1917 | alias completion. In addition, indexed searching has been revamped. | |
1918 | Various other features have been added and a few bugs were fixed. | |
1919 | ||
1920 | ** New Features in MH-E 7.1 | |
1921 | ||
1922 | *** Multiple Identities | |
1923 | ||
1924 | MH-E now supports multiple identities (closes SF #628782). That means | |
1925 | that you can have different From and Organization header fields (or | |
1926 | any other header field of your choice) as well as different signatures | |
1927 | depending on your context. Usually, the contexts are home and work. | |
1928 | ||
1929 | Add your identities to the variable `mh-identity-list' and set the | |
1930 | default identity with the variable `mh-identity-default'. Your | |
1931 | identity can be switched on the fly by using the Identity menu or by | |
1932 | calling "M-x mh-insert-identity RET". | |
1933 | ||
1934 | This functionality can be customized within the mh-identity group. | |
1935 | ||
1936 | *** Alias Completion and Harvesting | |
1937 | ||
1938 | The contributed file mh-alias.el has been rewritten and incorporated | |
1939 | into MH-E. | |
1940 | ||
1941 | By default, aliases are culled from the system files | |
1942 | "/etc/nmh/MailAliases," "/usr/lib/mh/MailAliases," and "/etc/passwd" | |
1943 | (see `mh-alias-system-aliases') and from your "AliasFile" MH profile | |
1944 | component. These aliases are then used for completion in the | |
1945 | minibuffer when entering addresses. Within the header of the message | |
1946 | draft, "M-TAB (mh-letter-complete)" is used to do alias completion. | |
1947 | ||
1948 | The package also provides for alias creation based upon the From | |
1949 | header field of the current message. Use the lasso button | |
1950 | (mh-alias-grab-from-field). | |
1951 | ||
1952 | This functionality can be customized within the mh-alias group. | |
1953 | ||
1954 | *** Index Folder Updates | |
1955 | ||
1956 | The results of an index search "F i (mh-index-search)" are now stored | |
1957 | in a bona fide folder so that you can refile messages and reply to | |
1958 | messages directly from the result folder. This folder is a sub-folder | |
1959 | of +mhe-index and the name is based upon the search string (closes SF | |
1960 | #623321). | |
1961 | ||
1962 | If a prefix argument is given then the search in the current index | |
1963 | buffer is redone. | |
1964 | ||
1965 | The index folder lists the names of the source folders as before. | |
1966 | However, instead of using RET on the name of the folder to visit the | |
1967 | folder, use "v (mh-show-index-visit-folder)" anywhere within the | |
1968 | results to visit that folder narrowed to the results of the search. | |
1969 | Additional functions have been added to navigate including "TAB | |
1970 | (mh-index-next-folder)", and "SHIFT-TAB (mh-index-previous-folder)." | |
1971 | ||
1972 | *** mh-visit-folder Interface Updated | |
1973 | ||
1974 | A change was made to the prompting of the message range. In general, | |
1975 | you can use the same format for messages and sequences as you can in | |
1976 | MH with a single exception: a single number means to scan that many | |
1977 | messages, rather than scan that message number. This turns out to be | |
1978 | much more useful than visiting a single message and is consistent with | |
1979 | Gnus and the MH-E speedbar (closes SF #655891). | |
1980 | ||
1981 | If mh-visit-folder is called non-interactively and RANGE is nil then | |
1982 | all messages are displayed. This behavior is now documented and | |
1983 | provides backwards compatibility. | |
1984 | ||
1985 | *** Threading Improvements | |
1986 | ||
1987 | After incorporating new mail into a threaded folder, unseen messages | |
1988 | can be spread about. Two new functions have been added to make it | |
1989 | easier to find them: these are "M-n (mh-next-unread-msg)" and "M-p | |
1990 | (mh-previous-unread-msg)" (closes SF #630328) | |
1991 | ||
1992 | Two new functions were added to delete and refile threads. They are "T | |
1993 | d (mh-thread-delete)" and "T o (mh-thread-refile)" respectively | |
1994 | (closes SF #630493). | |
1995 | ||
1996 | In addition, the key "k" used to be bound to the function | |
1997 | `mh-delete-subject': it is now bound to | |
1998 | `mh-show-delete-subject-or-thread'. | |
1999 | ||
2000 | New functions to navigate threads include "T u (mh-thread-ancestor)", | |
2001 | which can jump to the root message of the current thread given an | |
2002 | optional argument, "T n (mh-thread-next-sibling)", and "T p | |
2003 | (mh-thread-previous-sibling)" | |
2004 | ||
2005 | *** Refiling of Messages in Region | |
2006 | ||
2007 | If mark is active and `transient-mark-mode' is enabled then all the | |
2008 | messages in the region are refiled. | |
2009 | ||
2010 | *** vCard Handling | |
2011 | ||
2012 | If a signature cannot be identified, but there is a vCard attachment, | |
2013 | then that vCard will be presented as a signature (closes SF #649216). | |
2014 | ||
2015 | *** New Info Added to mh-version | |
2016 | ||
2017 | Information about Gnus versions available at both compile time and run | |
2018 | time has been added. | |
2019 | ||
2020 | ** New Variables in MH-E 7.1 | |
2021 | ||
2022 | The defcustom groups were reorganized. Rather than iterate the | |
2023 | specific changes here, you are invited to browse the groups with "M-x | |
2024 | mh-customize RET". | |
2025 | ||
2026 | *** mh-alias-completion-ignore-case-flag | |
2027 | ||
2028 | Non-nil means don't consider case significant in MH alias completion. | |
2029 | This is the default in plain MH, so it is the default here as well. It | |
2030 | can be useful to set this to t if, for example, you use lowercase | |
2031 | aliases for people and uppercase for mailing lists. | |
2032 | ||
2033 | *** mh-alias-expand-aliases-flag | |
2034 | ||
2035 | Non-nil means to expand aliases entered in the minibuffer. In other | |
2036 | words, aliases entered in the minibuffer will be expanded to the full | |
2037 | address in the message draft. By default, this expansion is not | |
2038 | performed. | |
2039 | ||
2040 | *** mh-alias-flash-on-comma | |
2041 | ||
2042 | Specify whether to flash the translation of the alias or warn if there | |
2043 | isn't a translation of the alias. | |
2044 | ||
2045 | *** mh-alias-insert-file | |
2046 | ||
2047 | Filename to use to store new MH-E aliases. This variable can also be a | |
2048 | list of filenames, in which case MH-E will prompt for one of them. If | |
2049 | nil, the default, then MH-E will use the first file found in the | |
2050 | "AliasFile" component of the MH profile. | |
2051 | ||
2052 | *** mh-alias-insertion-location | |
2053 | ||
2054 | Specifies where new aliases are entered in alias files. Options are | |
2055 | sorted alphabetically (the default), at the top of the file or at the | |
2056 | bottom. | |
2057 | ||
2058 | *** mh-alias-local-users | |
2059 | ||
2060 | If t, local users are completed in MH-E To: and Cc: prompts. | |
2061 | ||
2062 | If you set this variable to a string, it will be executed to generate | |
2063 | a password file. A value of "ypcat passwd" is helpful if NIS is in | |
2064 | use. | |
2065 | ||
2066 | *** mh-alias-system-aliases | |
2067 | ||
2068 | A list of system files from which to cull aliases. If these files are | |
2069 | modified, they are automatically reread. This list need include only | |
2070 | system aliases and the passwd file, since personal alias files listed | |
2071 | in your "AliasFile" MH profile component are automatically included. | |
2072 | ||
2073 | *** mh-identity-default | |
2074 | ||
2075 | Default identity to use when `mh-letter-mode' is called. | |
2076 | ||
2077 | *** mh-identity-list | |
2078 | ||
2079 | List holding MH-E identity. | |
2080 | ||
2081 | *** mh-invisible-header-fields | |
2082 | ||
2083 | Simple user interface to change `mh-invisible-headers'. | |
2084 | ||
2085 | *** mh-letter-complete-function | |
2086 | ||
2087 | Function to call when completing outside of fields specific to | |
2088 | aliases. By default, it is bound to 'ispell-complete-word. | |
2089 | ||
2090 | *** mh-show-threads-flag | |
2091 | ||
2092 | Non-nil means new folders start in threaded mode. Threading large | |
2093 | number of messages can be time consuming. So if the flag is non-nil | |
2094 | then threading will be done only if the number of messages being | |
2095 | threaded is less than `mh-large-folder' (closes SF #646794). | |
2096 | ||
2097 | *** mh-tool-bar-folder-buttons | |
2098 | ||
2099 | Buttons to include in MH-E folder/show toolbar. | |
2100 | ||
2101 | *** mh-tool-bar-letter-buttons | |
2102 | ||
2103 | Buttons to include in MH-E letter toolbar. | |
2104 | ||
2105 | ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.1 | |
2106 | ||
2107 | *** mh-get-new-mail | |
2108 | ||
2109 | Call new function `mh-add-cur-notation' to undo the work of | |
2110 | `mh-remove-cur-notation' if there was no new mail (closes SF #647681). | |
2111 | ||
2112 | *** mh-set-cmd-note | |
2113 | ||
2114 | No longer updates the default `mh-cmd-note' value. This resulted in | |
2115 | the misplacement of the current mark when the message number width | |
2116 | changed (closes SF #643701). | |

3d7ca223 | 2120 | * Changes in MH-E 7.0 |
bdcfe844 BW |
2121 | |
2122 | This is a major release which includes a lot of new features including | |
2123 | improved MIME handling, speedbar folder browsing, and indexed | |
2124 | searching. In this version, MH-E runs under XEmacs, passes checkdoc, | |
2125 | and compiles clean under all supported platforms. | |
2126 | ||
2127 | The "passes checkdoc" feature above required changing the name of | |
2128 | several user-visible variables. It is likely that this affects you. | |
2129 | Please be sure to see the table at the end of these notes and rename | |
2130 | your variables accordingly. | |
2131 | ||
2132 | MH-E has been written mh-e, Mh-e, MH-e and MH-E. We have decided that | |
2133 | the proper term should be MH-E. Please try to use MH-E in your | |
2134 | writing. | |
2135 | ||
2136 | ** New Features in MH-E 7.0 | |
2137 | ||
2138 | *** Speedbar | |
2139 | ||
2140 | There is now support for the speedbar. Try "M-x speedbar" (closes SF | |
177c0ea7 | 2141 | #503727). |
bdcfe844 BW |
2142 | |
2143 | Press the middle mouse button on the `+' icons to open a folder, | |
2144 | middle mouse button on a folder name to open the folder. Folders with | |
2145 | unseen messages are shown in bold, so this is a handy way to browse | |
2146 | new messages that you have filed with procmail or slocal. | |
2147 | ||
2148 | See the new customization variable `mh-large-folder,' which controls | |
2149 | when the speedbar asks for how many messages to scan when opening a | |
2150 | large folder and `mh-speed-run-flists-flag' whose default value of t | |
2151 | means to use the flists command to populate the count of unseen and | |
2152 | total messages in each folder. | |
2153 | ||
2154 | *** Indexed Search | |
2155 | ||
2156 | Interoperability with swish++, swish, glimpse, and namazu has been | |
2157 | added to enable lightening-fast searches of your mail. If none of | |
2158 | these are present, grep is used. Try "F i (mh-index-search)". | |
2159 | ||
2160 | For more information, read the documentation for the functions | |
2161 | `mh-swish++-execute-search,' `mh-swish-execute-search,' | |
2162 | `mh-namazu-execute-search,' or `mh-glimpse-execute-search' depending | |
2163 | on your preferred indexing program to see what kind of setup is needed | |
2164 | to generate the index. | |
2165 | ||
2166 | *** Threading | |
2167 | ||
2168 | Use "T t (mh-toggle-threads)" to view the threads in the folder. Use | |
2169 | it again to return to a non-threaded view. | |
2170 | ||
2171 | *** Brief Help | |
2172 | ||
2173 | Use "? (mh-help)" and "X ? (mh-prefix-help)," where X is a prefix | |
2174 | character, for a brief synopsis in the minibuffer of frequently used | |
2175 | commands. In the MH-Letter or MH-Pick buffers, use "C-c ? (mh-help)" | |
2176 | (closes SF #493740). | |
2177 | ||
2178 | *** Folder Keymap Shared by Show Buffer | |
2179 | ||
2180 | You can now use the MH-Folder mode commands from the MH-Show buffer. | |
2181 | Because of this, the MH-Show buffer is now read-only (closes SF | |
2182 | #493749 and SF #527946) and you now have to use "M (mh-modify)" to | |
2183 | edit a message. | |
c3d9274a | 2184 | |
bdcfe844 BW |
2185 | *** Better Scanning |
2186 | ||
2187 | You no longer have to modify your scan format if your folders have | |
2188 | more than 9999 messages in them. If you've only modified your scan | |
2189 | format file to allow for the wider message numbers, consider using the | |
2190 | default behavior of MH-E and simplify your MH-E configuration | |
2191 | considerably (closes SF #635791). | |
2192 | ||
2193 | To do this, you may have to remove your modifications of | |
2194 | `mh-scan.*-regexp' and `mh-cmd-note' and your customization of | |
2195 | `mh-scan-format-file'. | |
2196 | ||
2197 | You may still want the updated format files for running MH commands | |
2198 | outside of MH-E; the default of `mh-scan-format-file' will cause them | |
2199 | to be ignored. | |
2200 | ||
2201 | If you prefer fixed-width message numbers, set the new customization | |
2202 | variable to nil , set this variable to | |
2203 | nil and call `mh-set-cmd-note' with the width specified by the scan format in | |
2204 | `mh-scan-format-file'. For example, the default width is 4, so you would use | |
2205 | "(mh-set-cmd-note 4)" if `mh-scan-format-file' were nil. | |
2206 | ||
2207 | *** X-Face | |
2208 | ||
2209 | MH-E now displays the content of the X-Face header field in the From | |
2210 | field. When sending a message, an X-Face field is appended to the | |
2211 | header if it doesn't already exist and "~/.face" is present. See the | |
2212 | new customization variables `mh-show-use-xface-flag' and `mh-x-face-file' | |
2213 | (closes SF #480770). | |
2214 | ||
2215 | MH-E depends on the external x-face package found in | |
2216 | ftp://ftp.jpl.org/pub/elisp/ to do this. The `uncompface' binary is | |
2217 | also required to be in the execute PATH. It can be obtained from: | |
2218 | http://freshmeat.net/redir/compface/1439/url_tgz/compface-1.4.tar.gz. | |
2219 | ||
2220 | It has also been observed that if you don't see the faces, you might | |
2221 | have to do this (for unknown reasons): | |
177c0ea7 | 2222 | |
bdcfe844 BW |
2223 | mv /usr/local/include/compface.h /usr/include/ |
2224 | ||
2225 | *** Graphical Smileys | |
2226 | ||
2227 | Smiley's are now converted to cute little images. See the new | |
2228 | customization variable `mh-graphical-smileys-flag.' | |
2229 | ||
2230 | *** Text Emphasis | |
2231 | ||
2232 | ASCII formatting is now converted to the appropriate font. For | |
2233 | example, _underline_ is underlined, *bold* appears in bold, /italic/ | |
2234 | appears in italic, etc. See `gnus-emphasis-alist' for the whole list. | |
2235 | See the new customization variables `mh-decode-mime' and | |
2236 | `mh-graphical-emphasis-flag.' | |
2237 | ||
2238 | *** Attachment Handling | |
2239 | ||
2240 | Inline attachments are now displayed. Regular attachments appear as | |
2241 | buttons in show buffer. Use "K TAB (mh-next-button)" or "K SHIFT-TAB | |
2242 | (mh-prev-button)" to cycle through these buttons. Use "K v | |
2243 | (mh-folder-toggle-mime-part)" to view, "K o | |
2244 | (mh-folder-save-mime-part)" to save one part or "K-a | |
2245 | (mh-save-mime-parts)" to save all parts, or "K i | |
2246 | (mh-folder-inline-mime-part)" to view the attachment inline. | |
2247 | ||
2248 | See the new customization variable `mh-decode-mime' for additional | |
2249 | information. Other customization variables that affect this new feature | |
2250 | include `mh-store-mime-parts-default-directory' and | |
2251 | `mh-display-buttons-for-inline-parts-flag'. | |
2252 | ||
2253 | HTML documents can be viewed inline if Gnus v5.10 and w3 or w3m lisp | |
2254 | packages are present. Set the customization variable | |
2255 | `mm-text-html-renderer' accordingly (closes SF #453352). | |
2256 | ||
2257 | *** Quoted-printable Handling | |
2258 | ||
2259 | Quoted-printable body parts are now decoded. | |
2260 | ||
2261 | *** More Choices for `mh-yank-from-start-of-msg' | |
2262 | ||
2263 | Historically, if this variable was t, the entire message, with full | |
2264 | headers would be included and every line would begin with | |
2265 | `mh-ins-buf-prefix.' This usage is deprecated in favor of the setting | |
2266 | `supercite' below. The default has been changed to `attribution.' The | |
2267 | following symbols are now understood: | |
2268 | ||
2269 | `body': yank the message minus the header. | |
2270 | ||
2271 | `supercite': include the entire message, with full headers. This also | |
2272 | causes the invocation of `sc-cite-original' without the setting of | |
2273 | `mail-citation-hook', now deprecated practice. | |
2274 | ||
2275 | `autosupercite': do as for `supercite' automatically when show buffer | |
2276 | matches the message being replied-to. | |
2277 | ||
2278 | `attribution': yank the message minus the header and add a simple | |
2279 | attribution line at the top. | |
2280 | ||
2281 | `autoattrib': do as for `attribution' automatically when show buffer | |
2282 | matches the message being replied-to. | |
2283 | ||
2284 | There is a new customization variable called | |
2285 | `mh-extract-from-attribution-verb' which is used for attribution which | |
2286 | provides a method for setting a different language. | |
2287 | ||
2288 | *** Use Gnus mml Instead of mhn | |
2289 | ||
2290 | When inserting attachments into a message draft, Gnus mml directives | |
2291 | are now used instead of mhn directives. One beneficial side-effect of | |
2292 | this is that attachments can now appear inline as well as separate. | |
2293 | ||
2294 | The new customization variable `mh-compose-insertion' controls whether | |
2295 | Gnus or mhn is used to insert MIME message directives in messages | |
2296 | (default: 'gnus, if the mml library exists). | |
2297 | ||
2298 | *** Content-Type Now Obtained Automatically | |
2299 | ||
2300 | The value of the Content-Type no longer needs to be entered by the | |
2301 | user. | |
2302 | ||
2303 | *** Attachments Automatically Included Upon Send | |
2304 | ||
2305 | You no longer have to run "C-c C-e (mh-edit-mhn)" before sending a | |
2306 | message with attachments--this is done automatically when you send the | |
2307 | message with "C-c C-c (mh-send-letter)". There is, however, a new key | |
2308 | binding "C-c C-m m (mh-mml-to-mime)" which is analogous to "C-c C-e | |
2309 | (mh-edit-mhn)". | |
2310 | ||
2311 | *** GPG Handling | |
2312 | ||
2313 | Messages that have been signed or encrypted with GPG are verified and | |
2314 | decrypted automatically. To sign or encrypt a message, use "C-c RET | |
2315 | C-s (mh-mml-secure-message-sign-pgpmime)" and "C-c C-m C-e | |
2316 | (mh-mml-secure-message-encrypt-pgpmime)." You need Gnus version 5.10 | |
2317 | for this feature. These functions are provided by the pgg.el package. | |
2318 | ||
2319 | Users report "flashing" with the pgg.el package and prefer the gpg.el | |
2320 | package instead. To use gpg.el instead of the pgg.el package you need: | |
2321 | ||
2322 | (setq mml2015-use 'gpg) | |
2323 | ||
2324 | To mimic automatic encryption in gpg.el, use: | |
2325 | ||
2326 | (setq mm-verify-option 'always) | |
2327 | (setq mm-decrypt-option 'always) | |
2328 | ||
2329 | The venerable mailcrypt package is also an option. However, now that | |
2330 | show buffers are read-only, mailcrypt version 3.5.6 and older fail | |
2331 | when they attempt to decrypt the contents. | |
2332 | ||
2333 | *** Mail-Followup-To Header Field | |
2334 | ||
2335 | Support for this controversial field has been added because nmh | |
2336 | supports it (closes SF #627035). If you want to add it to outgoing | |
2337 | mail for selected mailing lists, add those mailing lists to the new | |
2338 | customization variable `mh-insert-mail-followup-to-list.' If you think | |
2339 | this field is evil, set the new customization variable | |
2340 | `mh-insert-mail-followup-to-flag' to nil. | |
2341 | ||
2342 | *** Gnus Issues | |
2343 | ||
2344 | If you update Gnus, you must recompile MH-E. Note that if you are | |
2345 | running the stock version of MH-E that comes with Emacs or the MH-E | |
2346 | package on a Debian GNU/Linux, this is done for you. | |
2347 | ||
2348 | ** New Variables in MH-E 7.0 | |
2349 | ||
2350 | New customization variables not mentioned earlier include: | |
2351 | ||
2352 | *** mh-letter-insert-signature-hook | |
2353 | ||
2354 | Invoked at the beginning of the "C-c C-s (mh-insert-signature)" | |
2355 | command. Can be used to determine which signature file to use based on | |
2356 | message content. On return, if `mh-signature-file-name' is non-nil | |
2357 | that file will be inserted at the current point in the buffer. | |
2358 | ||
2359 | *** mh-show-maximum-size | |
2360 | ||
2361 | Maximum size of message (in bytes) to display automatically. Provides | |
2362 | an opportunity to skip over large messages which may be slow to load. | |
2363 | Use a value of 0 to display all messages automatically regardless of | |
2364 | size (closes SF #488696). | |
2365 | ||
2366 | *** mh-tool-bar-reply-3-buttons-flag | |
2367 | ||
2368 | Non-nil means use three buttons for reply commands in tool-bar. If you | |
2369 | have room on your tool-bar because you are using a large font, you may | |
2370 | set this variable to expand the single reply button into three buttons | |
2371 | that won't lead to minibuffer prompt about who to reply to. | |
2372 | ||
2373 | ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.0 | |
2374 | ||
2375 | *** mh-delete-msg, mh-refile-msg, mh-undo | |
2376 | ||
2377 | Mandrake Linux includes XEmacs initialization code that binds | |
2378 | `transient-mark-mode' which causes problems in MH-E. These problems | |
2379 | have been fixed (closes SF #541915). | |
2380 | ||
2381 | *** mh-edit-again | |
2382 | ||
2383 | This would sometimes yield a read-only buffer. This has been fixed | |
2384 | (closes SF #624283 and SF #625538). | |
2385 | ||
2386 | *** mh-forward | |
2387 | ||
2388 | When using nmh, always specify -mime so as to preserve the original | |
2389 | message(s). | |
2390 | ||
2391 | *** mh-inc-folder | |
2392 | ||
2393 | If you had narrowed to a sequence and then incorporated new mail, | |
2394 | those new messages would not be present in your +inbox when you | |
2395 | widened. This has been fixed (closes SF #489430, SF #489437, SF | |
2396 | #629233). | |
2397 | ||
2398 | *** mh-insert-letter | |
2399 | ||
2400 | No longer uses mhl to include a message as this mangled the header and | |
2401 | gave supercite fits (closes SF #629153). | |
2402 | ||
2403 | *** mh-letter-mode | |
2404 | ||
2405 | "M-q (fill-paragraph)" now fills quoted paragraphs (for example, | |
2406 | starting with "> ") correctly (closes SF #489927). | |
2407 | ||
177c0ea7 | 2408 | *** mh-next-undeleted-msg, mh-previous-undeleted-msg |
bdcfe844 BW |
2409 | |
2410 | If there are no more undeleted messages the point remains at its | |
2411 | original position and a message is produced (closes SF #494304). | |
2412 | ||
2413 | *** mh-pick-mode | |
2414 | ||
2415 | Now calls `mh-pick-mode-hook' as documented. | |
2416 | ||
2417 | *** mh-put-msg-in-seq | |
2418 | ||
2419 | Now puts all messages in region in sequence (closes SF #630324). | |
2420 | ||
2421 | *** mh-refile-msg, mh-write-msg-to-file | |
2422 | ||
2423 | These functions stomped on the variables that held the name of the | |
2424 | last file and folder respectively for the other function. This has | |
2425 | been fixed so that the last folder or file name is preserved (closes | |
2426 | SF #580772). | |
2427 | ||
2428 | *** mh-region-to-sequence | |
2429 | ||
2430 | If the region in MH-Folder was set with "C-x h (mark-whole-buffer)", | |
2431 | you couldn't perform operations on all of the messages as you would | |
2432 | expect. This has been fixed (closes SF #621632). | |
2433 | ||
2434 | *** mh-reply | |
2435 | ||
2436 | Performing an undo the first thing after replying would blank out the | |
2437 | entire draft. Now just the insertion of the yanked message is undone | |
2438 | leaving the header and signature intact for additional editing (closes | |
2439 | SF #623693). | |
2440 | ||
2441 | *** mh-show-mode | |
2442 | ||
2443 | Now calls `mh-show-mode-hook' as documented (closes SF #627222). | |
2444 | ||
2445 | *** mh-subject-thread-to-sequence | |
2446 | ||
2447 | Make 'subject sequence a real one, exported to MH. This means you can, | |
2448 | for example, mh-forward it. But it also shows up with a mark in the | |
2449 | scan output (closes SF #489445). | |
2450 | ||
2451 | *** Other Bug Fixes | |
2452 | ||
2453 | The following bugs have also been closed: | |
2454 | ||
2455 | SF #495450: Folder buffer read-only after inc | |
2456 | SF #489706: mh-page-msg bombs out | |
2457 | SF #580772: mh-last-destination is overloaded | |
2458 | ||
2459 | *** Variables renamed to conform with Emacs coding conventions | |
2460 | ||
2461 | The coding conventions require that boolean variables end in -flag. | |
2462 | The following two tables show which variables were affected (closes SF | |
2463 | #627015). | |

a1b4049d | 2494 | * Changes in mh-e 6.1 |
a933dad1 | 2495 | |
a1b4049d BW |
2496 | This is a minor release which includes a few bug fixes. The |
2497 | distribution now includes the ChangeLog. | |
a933dad1 | 2498 | |
a1b4049d | 2499 | ** New Features in mh-e 6.1 |
a933dad1 | 2500 | |
a1b4049d BW |
2501 | *** Fontification |
2502 | ||
2503 | Unseen messages now displayed in bold. | |
2504 | ||
2505 | *** Viewing folders and sequences | |
2506 | ||
2507 | The folder and sequence listings that "F l (mh-list-folders)" and "S l | |
2508 | (mh-list-sequences)" create are now displayed in view mode. | |
2509 | ||
2510 | ** Bug Fixes in mh-e 6.1 | |
2511 | ||
2512 | *** mh-folder-unseen-seq-name | |
2513 | ||
2514 | Byte compilation failed when initializing this variable when the | |
2515 | user's MH environment was not set up. This has been fixed (closes | |
2516 | Debian #140232 and Debian #140817). | |
2517 | ||
2518 | *** mh-forward | |
2519 | ||
2520 | When forwarding a sequence, the mode of the draft would not be set to | |
2521 | MH-Letter correctly. This has been fixed (closes SF #489448). | |
2522 | ||
2523 | *** mh-insert-prefix-string | |
2524 | ||
2525 | Fixed to work under XEmacs. Thanks to Will Partain | |
2526 | <partain at dcs.gla.ac.uk>. | |
2527 | ||
2528 | *** mh-quit | |
2529 | ||
bdcfe844 | 2530 | mh-quit now cleans up the buffers named `mh-temp-buffer,' |
a1b4049d BW |
2531 | 'mh-temp-folders-buffer' and 'mh-temp-sequences-buffer.' |
2532 | ||
2533 | \f | |
2534 | * Changes in mh-e 6.0 | |
2535 | ||
2536 | mh-e is now maintained at SourceForge (see | |
2537 | http://mh-e.sourceforge.net/). This is where you need to go to obtain | |
2538 | new versions of mh-e, report bugs and receive support. | |
2539 | ||
2540 | The maintainers have moved much of their personal configurations into | |
2541 | the codebase, so you may find that you may be able to reduce your mh-e | |
2542 | customizations as well. | |
2543 | ||
2544 | There are several incompatibilities in this version from older | |
2545 | versions. Please read the following notes carefully for details. Pay | |
2546 | particular attention to the key binding changes in the MH-Folder | |
2547 | section. If you have customized your scan format, you will want to | |
2548 | read about the new variable `mh-scan-format-file'. | |
2549 | ||
2550 | The manual could not be updated in time for this release. It will be | |
2551 | updated in the near future. If the Preface in your manual indicates | |
2552 | the older version (version 1.3, for mh-e version 5.0.2), please check | |
2553 | the following page occasionally for an update: | |
2554 | ||
2555 | https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=13357 | |
2556 | ||
2557 | ||
2558 | ** New Features in mh-e 6.0 | |
2559 | ||
2560 | *** Customization | |
2561 | ||
2562 | mh-e now uses the customize feature of Emacs. Use "M-x customize-group | |
2563 | mh RET" to customize mh-e. | |
2564 | ||
2565 | *** Menus | |
2566 | ||
2567 | All mh-e modes now provide menus that contain most mh-e functions. | |
2568 | ||
2569 | *** Toolbars | |
2570 | ||
2571 | All mh-e modes now have toolbar buttons for oft-used functions (Emacs 21). | |
2572 | ||
2573 | *** Fontification | |
2574 | ||
2575 | All mh-e buffers now have font-lock keywords. To use, either call | |
2576 | (turn-on-font-lock) from the appropriate hook, or set | |
2577 | `global-font-lock-mode' to t. To customize, use "M-x | |
2578 | customize-apropos-faces ^mh RET". | |
2579 | ||
2580 | If you have customized your scan lines, you will have to update your | |
2581 | scan regexps. The existing regexps were changed to extract a match so | |
2582 | you will have to add appropriate grouping constructs to take advantage | |
2583 | of the fontification. Your old settings will continue to work, but the | |
2584 | folder will not be fontified. For example: | |
2585 | ||
2586 | (setq mh-good-msg-regexp "^\\(.....\\)[^D^]") | |
2587 | ||
2588 | You will most likely have to update the new variable | |
2589 | `mh-scan-subject-regexp' as well. There is another new variable | |
2590 | `mh-scan-date-regexp' which you may also find useful. Run "M-x apropos | |
2591 | mh.*regexp" for a complete list. | |
2592 | ||
2593 | *** mail-user-agent support | |
2594 | ||
2595 | You can now set `mail-user-agent' to `mh-e-user-agent' so that packages | |
2596 | that need to send mail will use mh-e (closes SF #406883, SF #470024). | |
2597 | ||
2598 | *** replgroupcomps support | |
2599 | ||
2600 | If you reply to `cc' or `all' and you use nmh, the nmh repl option | |
2601 | -group will be used. This means that the file `replgroupcomps' will be | |
2602 | used. If you have customized `replcomps', you will definitely want to | |
2603 | either copy `$NMH_LIB/replgroupcomps' to your mail directory and modify | |
2604 | it the same way that you modified your `replcomps' file, or simply | |
2605 | copy your `replcomps' file to `replgroupcomps'. | |
2606 | ||
2607 | *** MH-Folder mode | |
2608 | ||
2609 | The variable `mh-summary-height' used to have a default of 4. It now | |
2610 | varies from 4 to 10 depending on the height of the frame. | |
2611 | ||
2612 | Clicking the mouse on a message shows that message. | |
2613 | ||
2614 | Delete, refile and undo now operate on a region (but only if | |
2615 | `transient-mark-mode' is non-nil). | |
2616 | ||
2617 | SPC (mh-page-msg) now displays the message if it is not already | |
2618 | visible. If the bottom of a message is showing, SPC (mh-page-msg) | |
2619 | moves to the next message (respecting the direction you are moving | |
2620 | through the folder). | |
2621 | ||
177c0ea7 | 2622 | The threading commands "T u (mh-next-unseen-subject-thread)", |
a1b4049d BW |
2623 | "T t (mh-toggle-subject-thread)", "T s (mh-narrow-to-subject-thread)", |
2624 | and "T k (mh-delete-subject-thread)" have been added. These functions | |
2625 | do not offer threading in the true sense of the word, but do allow | |
2626 | some manipulation by subject. | |
2627 | ||
2628 | Major, major keymap changes. This was done to free up movement | |
2629 | commands in the buffer, and to provide for additional features, such | |
2630 | as the threading commands. At the same time, better and more | |
2631 | consistent mnemonics were realized that should make it easier to | |
2632 | remember key bindings. | |
2633 | ||
2634 | Added new sub-keymaps for folder commands, sequence commands, | |
2635 | extraction commands, and digest commands which begin with with F, S, | |
2636 | X, and D, respectively. These sub-keymaps allowed some consistency | |
2637 | (e.g., especially with l(ist) and k(ill)). | |
2638 | ||
2639 | Here are the actual changes and rationale: | |
2640 | ||
2641 | Old New Rationale | |
2642 | ||
2643 | e - Deleted. Already have x. Now used by mh-edit-again. | |
2644 | j - Deleted. Already have g. | |
2645 | ||
2646 | M-a e Better mnemonic. Matches rmail. Frees movement command. | |
2647 | M-e E Better mnemonic. Consistent with e. | |
2648 | - S Why not? mh-sort-folder. | |
2649 | ||
2650 | M-f Fv Frees movement command | |
2651 | M-f Ff Alias (keep?) | |
2652 | M-f Fo Alias (keep?) | |
2653 | M-k Fk No reason but to keep with folder commands | |
2654 | M-l Fl No reason but to keep with folder commands | |
2655 | M-p Fp No reason but to keep with folder commands | |
2656 | M-r Fr Frees movement command | |
2657 | M-s Fs No reason but to keep with folder commands | |
2658 | M-u Fu No reason but to keep with folder commands | |
2659 | ||
2660 | M-% Sd Better mnemonic | |
2661 | M-# Sk Better mnemonic | |
2662 | M-q Sl Better mnemonic | |
2663 | C-xn Sn Frees up standard key binding | |
2664 | % Sp Better mnemonic for putting a message in a sequence | |
2665 | ? Ss Shows sequences that message is in | |
2666 | C-xw Sw Frees up standard key binding | |
2667 | ||
2668 | M-n Xs Better mnemonic (extract shar) | |
2669 | M-n Xu Better mnemonic (extract uuencode) | |
2670 | ||
2671 | M-SPC D SPC Frees mark command | |
2672 | M-\177 D \177 No reason but to keep with digest commands | |
2673 | M-b Db Frees movement command | |
2674 | ||
2675 | As the number of variables increases, it is becoming important to | |
2676 | organize the mh-e namespace. Several variables having to do with the | |
2677 | format of scan lines were renamed, as follows: | |
2678 | ||
2679 | Old New | |
2680 | ||
2681 | mh-good-msg-regexp mh-scan-good-msg-regexp | |
2682 | mh-deleted-msg-regexp mh-scan-deleted-msg-regexp | |
2683 | mh-refiled-msg-regexp mh-scan-refiled-msg-regexp | |
2684 | mh-valid-scan-line mh-scan-valid-regexp | |
2685 | mh-cur-scan-msg-regexp mh-scan-cur-msg-number-regexp | |
2686 | - mh-scan-cur-msg-regexp | |
2687 | - mh-scan-rcpt-regexp | |
2688 | - mh-scan-format-regexp | |
2689 | mh-msg-number-regexp mh-scan-msg-number-regexp | |
2690 | mh-msg-search-regexp mh-scan-msg-search-regexp | |
2691 | ||
2692 | *** MH-Show mode | |
2693 | ||
2694 | While the MIME support is not complete, quoted-printable body parts | |
2695 | are now decoded. | |
2696 | ||
2697 | Some MTAs quote From at the beginning of the line with a ">". The ">" | |
2698 | is now removed in the display, but not on disk. | |
2699 | ||
2700 | *** MH-Letter mode | |
2701 | ||
2702 | New function "C-c C-o (mh-split-line)" splits lines in a draft | |
2703 | preserving the fill prefix and indentation. This is useful when | |
2704 | responding to several sentences in a single paragraph separately. | |
2705 | ||
2706 | "M-q (fill-paragraph)" can now be used on the message that is being | |
2707 | replied to. The fill prefix such as "> " is preserved. | |
2708 | ||
2709 | You no longer have to run "C-c C-e (mh-edit-mhn)" manually as this is | |
2710 | now done automatically when the message is sent. | |
2711 | ||
2712 | The X-Mailer header field is now added to messages as they are sent. | |
2713 | ||
2714 | "C-c C-m C-i (mh-mhn-compose-insertion)" now makes a pretty good guess | |
2715 | at the type of file using the `file' command and no longer asks the | |
2716 | user for the media type. If the necessary version of `file' is not | |
2717 | available, the user is asked for the media type as before; however, | |
2718 | the list of media types is now taken from the system mailcap if | |
2719 | available. Failing that, the built-in list of types has been | |
2720 | supplemented so in most cases the type you need should be present | |
2721 | (closes SF #406883, #441179). | |
2722 | ||
2723 | ** New Variables in mh-e 6.0 | |
2724 | ||
2725 | New variables not mentioned earlier include: | |
2726 | ||
2727 | *** mh-insert-x-mailer-p | |
2728 | ||
2729 | Default value of t means that an X-Mailer header field should be | |
2730 | added. | |
2731 | ||
2732 | *** mh-reply-show-message-p | |
2733 | ||
2734 | The setting of this variable determines whether the MH show-buffer is | |
2735 | displayed with the current message when using mh-reply without a prefix | |
2736 | argument. Set it to nil if you already include the message | |
2737 | automatically in your draft using "repl: -filter repl.filter" in | |
2738 | "~/.mh_profile." | |
2739 | ||
2740 | *** mh-scan-format-file | |
2741 | ||
2742 | Specifies the format file to pass to the scan program. If t, the | |
2743 | format string will be taken from the either `mh-scan-format-mh' or | |
2744 | `mh-scan-format-nmh' depending on whether MH or nmh is in use. If nil, | |
2745 | the default scan output will be used. | |
2746 | ||
2747 | If you customize the scan format, you may need to modify a few | |
2748 | variables containing regexps that mh-e uses to identify specific | |
2749 | portions of the output. Use `M-x apropos RET mh-scan.*regexp' to | |
2750 | obtain a list of these variables. | |
2751 | ||
2752 | *** mh-scan-format-mh | |
2753 | ||
2754 | Scan format string for MH, provided to the scan program via the | |
2755 | -format arg. This format is identical to the default except that | |
2756 | additional hints for fontification have been added to the sixth | |
2757 | column. | |
2758 | ||
2759 | *** mh-scan-format-nmh | |
2760 | ||
2761 | Scan format string for nmh, provided to the scan program via the | |
2762 | -format arg. This format is identical to the default except that | |
2763 | additional hints for fontification have been added to the sixth | |
2764 | column. | |
2765 | ||
2766 | *** mh-show-use-goto-addr | |
2767 | ||
2768 | Non-nil means URLs and e-mail addresses are highlighted using | |
2769 | goto-addr in MH-Show buffer. | |
2770 | ||
2771 | *** mh-letter-fill-column | |
2772 | ||
2773 | Fill column to use in `mh-letter-mode'. This is useful to make the | |
2774 | lines a bit shorter to allow for quoting in replies. | |
2775 | ||
2776 | *** mh-folder-updated-hook | |
2777 | ||
2778 | Invoked when the actions in a folder (such as moves and deletes) are | |
2779 | performed. Variables that are useful in this hook include | |
2780 | `mh-delete-list' and `mh-refile-list' which can be used to see which | |
2781 | changes are being made to current folder, `mh-current-folder'. | |
2782 | ||
2783 | *** mh-unseen-updated-hook | |
2784 | ||
2785 | Invoked after the unseen sequence has been updated. The variable | |
2786 | `mh-seen-list' can be used to obtain the list of messages which will | |
2787 | be removed from the unseen sequence | |
2788 | ||
2789 | ** Bug Fixes in mh-e 6.0 | |
2790 | ||
2791 | *** mh-edit-again and mh-extract-rejected-mail | |
2792 | ||
2793 | Now insert a header separator (--------) which packages such as | |
2794 | mailcrypt expect. | |
2795 | ||
2796 | *** mh-find-progs | |
2797 | ||
2798 | Now uses `mhparam' to set `mh-lib-progs' and `mh-lib'. Added more | |
2799 | directories to `mh-progs' so that mh-e can autoconfigure in more | |
2800 | environments. Chances are that you no longer have to set these | |
2801 | variables, and if you do, you will only have to set `mh-progs'. | |
2802 | Unless, of course, you are using an ancient version of MH that doesn't | |
2803 | have `mhparam'. | |
2804 | ||
2805 | *** mh-folder-mode-map | |
2806 | ||
2807 | The DEL/<delete>/<backspace> change in Emacs 21 broke | |
2808 | `mh-previous-page'. This has been fixed (closes SF #228907). | |
2809 | ||
2810 | *** mh-forward | |
2811 | ||
2812 | If you had "forw: -mime" to your .mh_profile, forwarding a message | |
2813 | resulted in: | |
2814 | ||
2815 | Search failed: "^------- Forwarded Message" | |
2816 | ||
2817 | In addition, the Subject field was not filled in. This has been fixed | |
2818 | (closes SF #223603). | |
2819 | ||
2820 | *** mh-kill-folder | |
2821 | ||
2822 | The user is now always prompted before this action; the variable | |
2823 | `mh-do-not-confirm' is no longer consulted here. Therefore users who | |
2824 | wanted to set `mh-do-not-confirm' but didn't because of the | |
2825 | `mh-kill-folder' dependency may now do so. | |
a933dad1 | 2826 | |
a1b4049d BW |
2827 | *** mh-make-folder-mode-line |
2828 | ||
2829 | Properly deals with folders that do not have any lines in them. Prints | |
2830 | "no msgs" instead of "0 msgs". Does not try to print a range when | |
2831 | there are no messages. | |
2832 | ||
2833 | *** mh-mhn-compose-insertion | |
2834 | ||
2835 | Now gets the MIME type automatically (assuming the local file command | |
2836 | supports the -i and -b options). If this use of the file command is | |
2837 | not supported, the list of MIME types has been expanded to use the | |
2838 | system's mailcap file. | |
2839 | ||
2840 | *** mh-nmh-p | |
2841 | ||
2842 | This variable (t when nmh is in use rather than MH) assumed that the | |
2843 | string "nmh" is in `mh-lib-progs' or `mh-lib'. This has been fixed | |
2844 | (closes SF #441776). | |
2845 | ||
2846 | *** mh-refile-msg | |
2847 | ||
2848 | No longer lets you specify an empty folder (closes SF #476824). | |
2849 | ||
2850 | *** mh-regenerate-headers | |
2851 | ||
2852 | Now suppresses "scan: bad message list" messages. | |
2853 | ||
2854 | *** mh-print-msg | |
2855 | ||
2856 | This function was looking for `mhl' in the wrong place on nmh on | |
2857 | Redhat LINUX 7.0. This has been fixed (closes SF #481128). | |
2858 | ||
2859 | *** mh-show | |
2860 | ||
2861 | Now updates `cur' sequence after a message is shown (closes SF #481772). | |
2862 | ||
2863 | *** mh-showing | |
2864 | ||
2865 | Renamed variable and function to `mh-showing-mode' to conform with | |
2866 | minor mode conventions. Added optional arg to function so it would | |
2867 | behave like a normal minor mode: no or nil arg toggles mode, 0 arg | |
2868 | turns off, non-nil turns on. This fixed the error that occurred when | |
2869 | `desktop-create-buffer' recreated mh-e buffers because it was calling | |
2870 | `mh-showing' with an arg. | |
2871 | ||
2872 | *** mh-version | |
2873 | ||
2874 | Fixed for nmh. Now displays mh-e version correctly. Cleaned up output | |
2875 | and display `mh-progs', etc. | |
2876 | ||
2877 | *** mh-widen | |
2878 | ||
2879 | Now attempts to stay on the same message number (closes SF #480922). | |
2880 | ||
2881 | No longer wipes out pending deletes and refiles without warning | |
2882 | (closes SF #481036). | |
2883 | ||
2884 | \f | |
2885 | * Changes in mh-e 5.0.2 | |
2886 | ||
2887 | This version contains additional minor changes to integrate it with | |
a933dad1 DL |
2888 | reporter.el (requires reporter.el version 3.1c or later) and Emacs |
2889 | 19.30. The mh-goto-msg function is much faster, which also speeds up | |
2890 | several other operations. | |
2891 | ||
a1b4049d BW |
2892 | \f |
2893 | * Changes in mh-e 5.0.1 | |
2894 | ||
2895 | This version contains minor changes from mh-e 5.0 to integrate it with | |
2896 | Emacs 19.29. | |
2897 | ||
2898 | \f | |
2899 | * User-visible changes to mh-e 5.0 | |
2900 | ||
2901 | Note: This being a major release, there are many internal changes. | |

2908 | ** Major Changes and New Features in mh-e 5.0 |
2909 | ||
2910 | The emphasis for this release has been on consistency and | |
2911 | documentation. Many documentation strings were enhanced. Documentation | |
2912 | strings were changed to comments for internal functions and variables. | |
2913 | ||
2914 | *** There is now proper documentation in the form of a 75-page users | |
2915 | manual. The Texinfo source is mh-e.texi; the formatted Info document | |
a933dad1 DL |
2916 | is mh-e.info. |
2917 | ||
a1b4049d BW |
2918 | *** There is a new command `mh-update-sequences', which updates MH's |
2919 | idea of what messages are in the Unseen sequence and what is the | |
2920 | current folder and message. `mh-quit' calls it. While | |
2921 | `mh-execute-commands' has always done this updating as a side effect, | |
2922 | the new function is faster. | |
a933dad1 | 2923 | |
a1b4049d | 2924 | *** The MH profile entry "Inbox:" is supported. |
a933dad1 | 2925 | |
a1b4049d BW |
2926 | *** If the show-buffer is modified, the user is queried before mh-e |
2927 | reuses the buffer to show a different message. This buffer is also | |
a933dad1 DL |
2928 | auto-saved and backed up correctly. |
2929 | ||
a1b4049d BW |
2930 | *** `mh-store-buffer' is significantly more robust. It now handles |
2931 | messages created by a wide variety of packaging software. The status | |
2932 | message for `uudecode' includes the name of the file created. An error | |
a933dad1 DL |
2933 | is signaled if the subprocess exits with a non-zero status. |
2934 | ||
a1b4049d BW |
2935 | *** `mh-search-folder' behaves predictably, adding messages found to |
2936 | the `search' sequence. It correctly handles the case of no messages | |
2937 | found. | |
2938 | ||
2939 | *** `mh-burst-digest' (`M-b') now only rescans the part of the folder | |
2940 | affected by the burst. It is now much faster in a large folder. | |
a933dad1 | 2941 | |
a933dad1 | 2942 | |
a1b4049d | 2943 | ** New Hooks and Customization Variables in mh-e 5.0 |
a933dad1 | 2944 | |
a1b4049d BW |
2945 | *** `mh-default-folder-for-message-function': new name for the old |
2946 | `mh-msg-folder-hook', which wasn't a hook. The old name was confusing, | |
a933dad1 DL |
2947 | leading people to think they could use `add-hook' with it, when |
2948 | actually `setq' is the correct way. | |
2949 | ||
a1b4049d | 2950 | *** `mh-sortm-args': When this variable is used has changed. Now |
a933dad1 | 2951 | `mh-sortm-args' is passed if there IS a prefix argument to |
a1b4049d | 2952 | `mh-sort-folder'. The assumption is that for arguments you normally |
a933dad1 DL |
2953 | want, you would specify them in an MH profile entry. |
2954 | ||
a1b4049d | 2955 | *** `mh-mhn-args': new hook, a list of additional arguments to pass to |
a933dad1 DL |
2956 | the `mhn' program if `mh-edit-mhn' is given a prefix argument. |
2957 | ||
a1b4049d | 2958 | *** `mh-edit-mhn-hook': new hook called by `mh-edit-mhn', the function |
a933dad1 DL |
2959 | that formats MIME messages. |
2960 | ||
a1b4049d | 2961 | *** `mh-folder-list-change-hook': new hook, called whenever the cached |
a933dad1 DL |
2962 | list of folders, `mh-folder-list', is changed. |
2963 | ||
a1b4049d | 2964 | *** `mh-find-path-hook': new hook, called when entering mh-e. |
a933dad1 | 2965 | |
a1b4049d | 2966 | *** `mh-repl-formfile': new variable, used to change the format file |
a933dad1 DL |
2967 | used by `mh-reply' from the default of "replcomps". |
2968 | ||
a1b4049d | 2969 | *** New variables to customize the scan format and notating: |
a933dad1 DL |
2970 | `mh-note-deleted', `mh-note-refiled', `mh-note-seq', `mh-note-cur', |
2971 | `mh-note-copied', `mh-note-printed'. | |
2972 | ||
a933dad1 | 2973 | |
a1b4049d BW |
2974 | ** Key Binding Changes in mh-e 5.0 |
2975 | ||
2976 | *** `RET' runs `mh-show' for consistency with the Finder and Info. The | |
a933dad1 DL |
2977 | old binding `.' still works, but `RET' is now the standard binding. |
2978 | ||
a1b4049d BW |
2979 | *** `M-<' now runs `mh-first-msg' for consistency with `M->', which |
2980 | runs `mh-last-msg'. | |
a933dad1 | 2981 | |
a1b4049d | 2982 | *** `C-c C-f C-d' in MH-Letter mode moves to a Dcc: header field. |
a933dad1 | 2983 | |
a1b4049d | 2984 | *** `C-c C-f C-r' in MH-Letter mode moves to a From: header field. |
a933dad1 | 2985 | |
a1b4049d | 2986 | *** `g' is now the standard binding for `mh-goto-msg'. The old binding |
a933dad1 DL |
2987 | `j' still works. |
2988 | ||
a933dad1 | 2989 | |
a1b4049d BW |
2990 | ** Other Improvements and Changes to mh-e 5.0 |
2991 | ||
2992 | *** `mh-lpr-command-format' no longer passes the "-p" argument to | |
2993 | `lpr' by default. The mail header typically has the date anyway. | |
a933dad1 | 2994 | |
a1b4049d | 2995 | *** When prompting for a sequence name, if no sequences have been used |
a933dad1 DL |
2996 | yet, mh-e will offer the first sequence the current message is in. |
2997 | ||
a1b4049d | 2998 | *** The patterns of more mailers are recognized by |
a933dad1 DL |
2999 | `mh-extract-rejected-mail'. |
3000 | ||
a1b4049d | 3001 | *** `mh-insert-prefix-string' no longer wraps the call to the |
a933dad1 DL |
3002 | `mail-citation-hook' function in a `save-excursion' so the hook writer |
3003 | can choose whether to leave point at the beginning or the end of the | |
3004 | yanked text. | |
3005 | ||
a1b4049d BW |
3006 | *** `mh-write-msg-to-file': The prompt now refers to "message" or |
3007 | "message body" depending on which will be written. (This is controlled | |
3008 | by a prefix argument.) The file defaults to the last-used file instead | |
a933dad1 DL |
3009 | of supplying only the directory name. |
3010 | ||
a1b4049d BW |
3011 | *** mh-e uses message ranges when running MH commands. Thus "rmm 1 2 3 |
3012 | 4 6" is now "rmm 1-4 6". This change makes it less likely to overflow | |
a933dad1 DL |
3013 | system argument list limits, and it might be faster, too. |
3014 | ||
a933dad1 | 3015 | |
a1b4049d BW |
3016 | ** Bug Fixes to mh-e 5.0 |
3017 | ||
3018 | *** mh-e's idea of the unseen sequence now stays in sync with MH's | |
a933dad1 DL |
3019 | better. |
3020 | ||
a1b4049d BW |
3021 | *** Functions that are supposed to find fields in the message header |
3022 | no longer look in the message body. | |
a933dad1 | 3023 | |
a1b4049d BW |
3024 | *** mh-e would sometimes fail to remove the "%" from a scan line when |
3025 | the message was removed from a sequence if the message was also in the | |
a933dad1 DL |
3026 | Previous sequence. |
3027 | ||
a1b4049d | 3028 | *** The variable `mh-inc-prog' is now correctly used in all places. |
a933dad1 | 3029 | |
a1b4049d | 3030 | *** `mh-pipe-msg' runs the process in the correct directory. |
a933dad1 | 3031 | |
a1b4049d | 3032 | *** A partially scanned folder will no longer lose the "/select" |
a933dad1 DL |
3033 | annotation when you execute marked deletes and refiles with `x'. |
3034 | ||

3036 | * Changes to mh-e 4.0 | |
3037 | ||
3038 | This file is automatically generated from news-mh-e.txinfo. Do not edit. | |
3039 | ||
3040 | [MH-E-ONEWS has been incorporated here and removed. news-mh-e.txinfo | |
3041 | is no longer available.] | |
3042 | ||
3043 | Note: there are many internal changes to mh-e in this release. If you | |
3044 | have the previous version loaded into your Emacs, you will probably not | |
3045 | be able to load this version on top of it. | |
3046 | ||
3047 | ** New Features in mh-e 4.0 | |
3048 | ||
3049 | *** Background folder collection. The first time you are prompted for | |
3050 | a folder, you must wait while mh-e collects the names of all existing | |
3051 | folders. Now however, if you abort, collecting will continue in the | |
3052 | background, and you can do something else in Emacs until the | |
3053 | collection completes. Normally, mh-e will begin collecting folders | |
3054 | names in the background when you first load it; you can disable this | |
3055 | feature by setting `mh-auto-folder-collect' to nil. | |
3056 | ||
3057 | *** There is support for composing MIME messages using the `mhn' | |
3058 | program from MH 6.8. See the documentation string for mh-edit-mhn. | |
3059 | (While composing a letter, type `C-h k C-c C-e'.) See also mhn(1). | |
3060 | There is as yet no support for reading MIME messages. | |
3061 | ||
3062 | *** `mh-show', typically on `.', repositions to the start of the | |
3063 | message if the message is already visible. It used to do nothing in | |
3064 | this case. | |
3065 | ||
3066 | *** The function `mh-unshar-msg' is renamed `mh-store-msg'. It now | |
3067 | does uudecoding, too. Someday it should do MIME. It remembers the last | |
3068 | directory you used and offers it as the default for next time. | |
3069 | ||
3070 | *** New function `mh-header-display', on `,', displays the message | |
3071 | with all headers, including those normally not displayed. Type `.' to | |
3072 | display the message normally again. | |
3073 | ||
3074 | *** New function `mh-list-sequences' lists the sequences in use in the | |
3075 | current folder. | |
3076 | ||
3077 | *** New function `mh-version' displays version information about MH | |
3078 | and mh-e. Please use the output in bug reports. | |
3079 | ||
3080 | *** `mh-quit' now burys the folder buffer and show buffer. | |
3081 | ||
3082 | ||
3083 | ** New hooks and customization variables in mh-e 4.0 | |
3084 | ||
3085 | *** `mh-pick-mode-hook': new hook called by new mode `mh-pick-mode'. | |
3086 | The pick buffer didn't used to have its own mode. Another advantage of | |
3087 | `mh-pick-mode' is that `C-h m' works in the pick buffer. | |
3088 | ||
3089 | *** `mail-citation-hook': new variable for supercite. | |
3090 | ||
3091 | *** `mh-refile-msg-hook': new hook called by `mh-refile-msg' (and | |
3092 | `mh-refile-or-write-again' when refiling). | |
3093 | ||
3094 | *** `mh-msg-folder-hook': new hook used by `mh-refile-msg' and | |
3095 | `mh-to-fcc' to provide a default folder for user prompt. | |
3096 | ||
3097 | *** `mh-show-hook': new hook called by `mh-show'. | |
3098 | ||
3099 | *** `mh-delete-msg-hook': new hook called by `mh-delete-msg'. | |
3100 | ||
3101 | *** `mh-show-mode-hook': new hook called by new mode `mh-show-mode' | |
3102 | for `show-' buffers. | |
3103 | ||
3104 | *** `mh-comp-formfile': new variable so can customize `components' | |
3105 | file. | |
3106 | ||
3107 | *** `mh-sortm-args': new variable, a list of extra arguments to be | |
3108 | passed to sortm by `mh-sort-folder'. Give an argument to | |
3109 | `mh-sort-folder' to suppress this behavior. | |
3110 | ||
3111 | *** `mh-send-prog': new variable so can customize name of `send' | |
3112 | program in case of name conflicts. | |
3113 | ||
3114 | *** `mh-scan-prog': new variable so can customize name of `scan' | |
3115 | program to generate custom effects. | |
3116 | ||
3117 | *** `mh-inc-prog': new variable so can customize name of `inc' program | |
3118 | to do fancy management of incoming messages. | |
3119 | ||
3120 | *** `mh-forwarded-letter-subject': new function used by `mh-forward' | |
3121 | to compute the Subject line of the new message. It is a small function | |
3122 | which can be replaced by the user for customization. Uses the new | |
3123 | variable `mh-forward-subject-format', which allows some simple | |
3124 | customizations without rewriting even `mh-forwarded-letter-subject'. | |
3125 | ||
3126 | *** `mh-new-draft-cleaned-headers': new variable, header lines removed | |
3127 | by `mh-edit-again' and `mh-extract-rejected-mail' before offering a | |
3128 | message as a new draft. | |
3129 | ||
3130 | *** `mh-signature-file-name': new variable used by | |
3131 | `mh-insert-signature' to so can customize name of the file to insert. | |
3132 | ||
3133 | *** `mh-read-address': new function called to read all To: and Cc: | |
3134 | addresses. | |
3135 | ||
3136 | *** `mh-msg-folder-hook': new hook used by `mh-refile-msg' and | |
3137 | `mh-to-fcc' to provide a default folder for user prompt. | |
3138 | ||
3139 | ||
3140 | ** Key binding changes in mh-e 4.0 | |
3141 | ||
3142 | *** `,' runs new function `mh-header-display'. It is like `.' but it | |
3143 | displays *all* the headers. | |
3144 | ||
3145 | *** `M-#' runs the new function `mh-delete-seq'. One used to have to | |
3146 | type `C-u M-%' to delete a sequence. | |
3147 | ||
3148 | *** `<' no longer does `mh-first-msg', but `M->' now does | |
3149 | `mh-last-msg'. This allows first and last to be consistent (`>' was | |
3150 | taken) and is more likely to be discovered by chance anyway. | |
3151 | ||
3152 | *** `M-d' runs `mh-redistribute', `r' runs `mh-reply' (on the theory | |
3153 | that the more commonly used function should be easier to type, and the | |
3154 | obscure action of redistributing can be harder to type). | |
3155 | ||
3156 | *** `M-o' changed to `C-o' (`mh-write-msg-to-file'). It was | |
3157 | interfering with arrow keys for some people. | |
3158 | ||
3159 | *** `M-n' now runs `mh-store-msg' (formerly `mh-unshar-msg'). | |
3160 | ||
3161 | *** `b' no longer runs `mh-quit'; use `q' instead. `b' may be used in | |
3162 | a future version for something else. | |
3163 | ||
3164 | ||
3165 | ** Minor improvements to mh-e 4.0 | |
3166 | ||
3167 | *** The mh-e code is now divided into multiple Emacs Lisp files, so it | |
3168 | starts up faster because Emacs doesn't have to load all of it at once. | |
3169 | (This change also makes it easier for the maintainer to manage | |
3170 | things.) | |
3171 | ||
3172 | *** When searching for the directory containing the MH programs, | |
3173 | search the user's PATH in addition to the built-in directories, to | |
3174 | increase the chance of finding the MH programs. | |
3175 | ||
3176 | *** The subject for a forwarded message no longer has ugly square | |
3177 | brackets around it. | |
3178 | ||
3179 | *** The name of the folder is no longer appears twice in the show | |
3180 | buffer mode line. | |
3181 | ||
3182 | *** When typing a folder name in the minibuffer, parent folders | |
3183 | complete to the trailing slash (/), for easier typing of subfolders. | |
3184 | ||
3185 | *** The folder buffer mode name changed from `mh-e scan' or `mh-e | |
3186 | show' to `MH-Folder', which makes the hook name easier to guess. Added | |
3187 | `mh-showing' to `minor-mode-alist' so there is still an indication in | |
3188 | the mode line of whether messages will be shown automatically. | |
3189 | ||
3190 | *** `mh-rename-seq' does completion on the old sequence name. | |
3191 | ||
3192 | *** If called by a user who has never used MH on this system before, | |
3193 | mh-e runs the MH program `install-mh' to get them set up. | |
3194 | ||
3195 | *** Undo history for previous messages is not kept to avoid wasting | |
3196 | memory. | |
3197 | ||
3198 | *** The internal temp buffer used by mh-e has `buffer-offer-save' | |
3199 | explicitly nil. This change benefits people who change the | |
3200 | `buffer-offer-save' default. | |
3201 | ||
3202 | ||
3203 | ** Bug fixes to mh-e 4.0 | |
3204 | ||
3205 | *** `mh-to-field': don't bomb if no To: field. | |
3206 | ||
3207 | *** `mh-get-new-mail': restore annotations, e.g., cur, even if no new | |
3208 | mail. | |
3209 | ||
3210 | *** `mh-rename-seq': verify that the new seq name was accepted by | |
3211 | `mark' before updating state. | |
3212 | ||
3213 | *** `mh-internal-seq': the Previous sequence is not notated, since it | |
3214 | would notate everything scanned. | |
3215 | ||
3216 | *** `mh-read-draft': don't call `find-file-noselect' so an | |
3217 | `auto-mode-alist' doesn't trigger `mh-letter-mode-hook' twice. Faster, | |
3218 | too. | |
3219 | ||
3220 | *** `mh-show': If user moves onto a message that doesn't exist, don't | |
3221 | leave the cursor in the show pane. | |
3222 | ||
3223 | *** `mh-delete-scan-msgs': use `equal', not `=', on the result of | |
3224 | `mh-get-msg-num', since it may be nil. | |
3225 | ||
3226 | *** `mh-get-field': do anchored search so searching for `reply-to:' | |
3227 | doesn't find `in-reply-to:'. | |
3228 | ||
3229 | *** `mh-widen': do nothing if not narrowed. | |
3230 | ||
3231 | *** `mh-clean-message-header': find end of headers even if no body. | |
