6 | * Changes in MH-E 8.3.1 |
7 | ||
8 | This version of MH-E fixes typos in the documentation and is packaged | |
9 | with GNU Emacs 24.1 | |
10 | ||
c78268f1 | 11 | * Changes in MH-E 8.3 |
d76674bb BW |
12 | |
13 | In 2010, the version control system (VCS) of Emacs was upgraded from | |
14 | CVS to Bazaar. In 2011, the MH-E team followed suit and upgraded the | |
15 | MH-E repository at SourceForge from CVS to Bazaar as well. The result | |
c78268f1 | 16 | is version 8.3 of MH-E, which includes needed changes to the build |
71e0ea13 | 17 | scripts. |
d76674bb BW |
18 | |
19 | Otherwise, this is a small release that includes mostly internal | |
20 | changes from the Emacs team. One of these changes manifests itself in | |
21 | the user interface--you can now complete folders with abbreviations, | |
d9882322 | 22 | meaning that `+f/b/b TAB' can complete to `+foo/bar/baz'. |
d76674bb BW |
23 | |
24 | Also, RFC 2047-encoded Subject header fields in replies are now | |
25 | decoded. | |
26 | ||
c78268f1 BW |
27 | It also fixes compilation warnings in XEmacs 21.5.31, as |
28 | well as an error when running XEmacs 21.5.31 in a terminal. | |
29 | ||
30 | Another implication of the VCS change is that users who download MH-E | |
31 | from SourceForge and explicitly load MH-E will have to be change their | |
32 | `load-path' to "/path/to/mh-e/emacs/trunk/lisp/mh-e" instead. Note the | |
33 | addition of "trunk." | |
34 | ||
c78268f1 | 35 | ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.3 |
8020905a BW |
36 | |
37 | *** Make mh-showing a legitimate minor mode | |
38 | ||
39 | The `mh-showing-mode' variable is now defined with `define-minor-mode' | |
40 | (closes SF #482666). | |
41 | ||
27f03d6c BW |
42 | *** Desktop fails to restore MH-Folder buffers |
43 | ||
44 | When restoring MH folders from ".emacs.desktop", Emacs now opens them in | |
45 | the expected `mh-folder' mode instead of `dired-mode' (closes SF #1510145) | |
46 | ||
fbfa898c BW |
47 | *** *MH-E Log* buffer can point to removed directory |
48 | This was caused by using `set-buffer' instead of | |
49 | `with-current-buffer.' This has been fixed thanks to Stefan Monnier | |
50 | (closes SF #1903293). | |

54 | * Changes in MH-E 8.2 |
55 | ||
bbe1ba5e | 56 | Version 8.2 of MH-E appeared in GNU Emacs 23.1. This is a small |
d1d87851 BW |
57 | release that includes internal changes from the Emacs team. A new |
58 | hook, `mh-pack-folder-hook', has been added. | |
59 | ||
60 | There is a known bug where you can't attach attachments in Emacs 21. | |
61 | This will be fixed in 8.2.1. | |
62 | ||
63 | ** New Variables in MH-E 8.2 | |
64 | ||
65 | *** mh-pack-folder-hook | |
66 | ||
67 | The `mh-pack-folder-hook' is run by `F p' (`mh-pack-folder') after | |
68 | renumbering the messages. Hook functions can access the current folder | |
69 | name with `mh-current-folder'. | |
70 | ||
71 | ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.2 | |
72 | ||
73 | *** New version of mh-mm-save-part | |
74 | ||
75 | Several functions have been updated with code from Gnus 5.11 (closes | |
76 | SF #2235022). | |
77 | ||
78 | \f | |
79 | ||
66863844 BW |
80 | * Changes in MH-E 8.1 |
81 | ||
82 | Version 8.1 fixes some issues with forwarding messages, respects the | |
83 | MH environment variable, adds the abilities to use aliases with GPG | |
84 | and show HTML even though it is discouraged. A new hook, | |
85 | `mh-annotate-msg-hook', has been added. | |
86 | ||
87 | ** New Features in MH-E 8.1 | |
88 | ||
89 | *** Showing HTML When Text Is the Preferred Alternative | |
90 | ||
91 | The `:' (`mh-show-preferred-alternative') function displays the | |
92 | message with the default preferred alternative. This is as if | |
93 | `mm-discouraged-alternatives' was set to nil (closes SF #1777321). | |
94 | ||
95 | ** New Variables in MH-E 8.1 | |
96 | ||
97 | *** mh-annotate-msg-hook | |
98 | ||
99 | The `mh-annotate-msg-hook' hook is run whenever a message is sent and | |
100 | after the scan lines and message are annotated. Hook functions can | |
101 | access the current folder name with `mh-current-folder' and obtain the | |
102 | message numbers of the annotated messages with `mh-annotate-list' | |
103 | (closes SF #2032269). | |
104 | ||
105 | ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.1 | |
106 | ||
107 | *** Can't Use Aliases with GPG | |
108 | ||
109 | GPG requires e-mail addresses, not aliases. So resolve aliases before | |
110 | passing addresses to GPG/PGP (closes SF #649226). | |
111 | ||
112 | *** mh-mml-forward-message: Disposition Should Be Inline | |
113 | ||
114 | The `f' (`mh-forward') function now forwards messages as inline | |
115 | attachments (closes SF #1378993). | |
116 | ||
117 | *** Illegal Filename Characters on Windows Filesystems | |
118 | ||
119 | The X-Image-URL cache created filenames with invalid characters on | |
120 | Windows. This has been fixed with assistance from Darel Henman (closes | |
121 | SF #1396499). | |
122 | ||
123 | *** Make Many Header Fields Invisible | |
124 | ||
125 | A vast landscape of header fields are now invisible. You may wish to | |
126 | browse `mh-invisible-header-fields-default' and clean up your | |
127 | `mh-invisible-header-fields' option. A permanent bug (SF #1916032) has | |
128 | been created where you can submit header fields that should be | |
129 | rendered invisible (closes SF #1701231). | |
130 | ||
131 | *** mh-forward Includes Messages in Reverse Order | |
132 | ||
133 | The `f' (`mh-forward') function now includes messages in ascending | |
134 | order (closes SF #1730393). | |
135 | ||
136 | *** Compile Fails on XEmacs 21.5 beta 28 | |
137 | ||
138 | This has been fixed with help from Henrique Martins (closes SF | |
139 | #1749774). | |
140 | ||
141 | *** Rename Variant mu-mh to gnu-mh | |
142 | ||
143 | The GNU mailutils MH variant was named inconsistently. The variant has | |
144 | been renamed to gnu-mh throughout. Thanks to Darel Henman (closes SF | |
145 | #1768928). | |
146 | ||
147 | *** Respect MH environment Variable | |
148 | ||
149 | Even if the MH environment variable was set, an error was generated if | |
150 | "~/.mh_profile" was missing. This has been fixed thanks to Xavier | |
151 | Maillard (closes SF #1946861). | |
152 | ||
153 | *** Enhance mh-mairix-regexp-builder | |
154 | ||
155 | Additional items have been added to the Mairix search string in order | |
156 | to support org-mode. Thanks to Nick Dokos (closes SF #1965704). | |
157 | ||
158 | *** mh-mh-to-mime and mh-mh-to-mime-undo Reset Modes | |
159 | ||
160 | The functions `mh-mh-to-mime' and `mh-mh-to-mime-undo' would reset the | |
161 | buffer to fundamental mode. This has been fixed thanks to Sergey | |
162 | Poznyakoff (closes SF #1966722). | |
163 | ||

166 | * Changes in MH-E 8.0.3 |
167 | ||
168 | Version 8.0.3 fixes errors in sending messages and in running spam | |
169 | filter commands in certain circumstances. | |
170 | ||
171 | ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.0.3 | |
172 | ||
173 | *** mh-send-args Cannot Be nil | |
174 | ||
175 | If `mh-send-uses-spost-flag' was set, an error would prevent the | |
176 | sending of messages. This has been fixed (closes SF #1564742). | |
177 | ||
178 | *** Missing Quotes in sa-learn Command Line | |
179 | ||
180 | This has been fixed (closes SF #1565460). | |
181 | ||
182 | *** Errors Associated with mh-junk-background | |
183 | ||
184 | The Spamassassin filter commands were used inconsistently and | |
185 | incorrectly; if `mh-junk-background' were nil, not all of the updating | |
186 | would happen correctly. In the other back-ends such as bogofilter and | |
187 | SpamProbe, a value of t for `mh-junk-background' would cause the | |
188 | commands associated with these filters to fail. These problems have | |
189 | been fixed (closes SF #1594802). | |
190 | ||
191 | \f | |
192 | ||
70314b54 BW |
193 | * Changes in MH-E 8.0.2 |
194 | ||
195 | Version 8.0.2 fixes the tool bar and `F n' on XEmacs, and `K a' on GNU | |
196 | mailutils. | |
197 | ||
198 | ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.0.2 | |
199 | ||
200 | *** Tool Bar Not Displayed in XEmacs | |
201 | ||
202 | The MH-E tool bar didn't show up in XEmacs; now it does. Thanks to Ted | |
203 | Phelps <phelps@gnusto.com> (closes SF #1506846). | |
204 | ||
205 | *** mh-mime-save-parts Assumes -store Default | |
206 | ||
207 | It was assumed that -store was the default for both mhn and mhstore. | |
208 | This has been fixed by using -store except when using nmh. Thanks to | |
209 | Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net> (closes SF #1513140). | |
210 | ||
211 | *** F-n Doesn't Work | |
212 | ||
213 | The fix for SF #1499712 broke `F n' (`mh-index-new-messages') on | |
214 | XEmacs since a regular expression that XEmacs could not handle was | |
215 | added. This regexp has been fixed (closes SF #1514424). | |

219 | * Changes in MH-E 8.0.1 |
220 | ||
221 | Version 8.0.1 works around a couple of bugs in GNU mailutils, spost, | |
222 | and Windows. MH-E now requires the use of version 1.0 of mailutils due | |
223 | to a bug in the folder command. | |
224 | ||
225 | ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.0.1 | |
226 | ||
227 | *** Infinite Loop When Searching (mailutils) | |
228 | ||
229 | The GNU mailutils folder command displays output when a folder doesn't | |
230 | exist. MH-E didn't expect this and responded with an infinite loop | |
231 | during searches. While this bug has since been fixed in mailutils, | |
232 | MH-E has been modified to work anyway (closes SF #1499712). | |
233 | ||
234 | *** spost Doesn't Have -msgid or -mime Flags | |
235 | ||
236 | The post replacement spost does not support the -msgid or -mime flags. | |
237 | A new variable `mh-send-uses-spost-flag' was added to control the use | |
238 | of these flags (closes SF #1486726). | |
239 | ||
240 | *** <2> in Search Folders Illegal in Windows | |
241 | ||
242 | The <2> suffix to the search folder names contain illegal filename | |
243 | characters in Windows. These cause searches to fail on Windows. This | |
244 | has been fixed by changing the suffix to -2 (closes SF #1507002). | |
245 | ||
246 | \f | |
247 | ||
7c36a00a BW |
248 | * Changes in MH-E 8.0 |
249 | ||
250 | Version 8.0 supports GNU mailutils, S/MIME, picons, which-func-mode, | |
251 | sports an improved interface for hiding header fields, improves upon | |
252 | the MH variant detection, improves folder completion, makes the pick | |
253 | search equivalent to the other types of searches, spruces up the tool | |
254 | bar, creates the correct MIME type when including OpenOffice | |
255 | documents, works on a Mac, adds colors to buttons for signed or | |
256 | encrypted messages, incorporates new features introduced in | |
257 | Emacs 22.1, fixes a bunch of bugs, and best of all, comes with an | |
258 | updated manual! | |
259 | ||
260 | Internally, MH-E now sports a new software organization which will | |
261 | help future maintainability. As a side-effect, the number of XEmacs | |
262 | compilation warnings has plummeted from hundreds to just three. CVS | |
263 | users will notice that MH-E has been migrated from the CVS repository | |
264 | from SourceForge to Savannah (but only for those files that were | |
265 | already part of Emacs). As a result, the location of MH-E in the | |
266 | load-path has changed, and mh-e-autoloads.el was renamed to | |
267 | mh-autoloads.el. See section INSTALL in the README for details. While | |
268 | this migration will benefit maintainers, it will also benefit users: | |
269 | CVS Emacs users will not have to check out MH-E separately and welcome | |
270 | faster MH-E updates, and CVS MH-E users will welcome faster MH-E | |
271 | updates from Emacs developers. Read section CVS MH-E INSTALL in the | |
272 | README for details. | |

7c36a00a BW |
274 | While not related to this release, the MH-E mailing lists are now |
275 | gatewayed at gmane.org (closes SF #979308). | |

66f7848b | 283 | |
7c36a00a | 284 | ** New Features in MH-E 8.0 |
66f7848b | 285 | |
7c36a00a | 286 | *** GNU mailutils Support |
66f7848b | 287 | |
7c36a00a | 288 | MH-E now supports GNU mailutils 0.4 and higher versions. |
66f7848b | 289 | |
7c36a00a | 290 | *** S/MIME Support |
66f7848b | 291 | |
7c36a00a | 292 | MH-E now supports S/MIME using Gnus 5.10.6 or higher. |
66f7848b | 293 | |
7c36a00a | 294 | *** Picon Support |
66f7848b | 295 | |
7c36a00a BW |
296 | In addition to the other methods of displaying an icon for the sender |
297 | of a message, MH-E can now display images from a picon directory. The | |
298 | directory search path is found in the `mh-picon-directory-list' | |
299 | variable. More documentation is found in the "facedb" sections in the | |
300 | xfaces man page. | |
66f7848b | 301 | |
7c36a00a | 302 | *** Catchup Command |
66f7848b | 303 | |
7c36a00a BW |
304 | There is a new `F c' (`mh-catchup') command that marks all unread |
305 | messages in the current folder as read. | |
66f7848b | 306 | |
7c36a00a | 307 | *** Use which-func-mode to Display Folder in Index Mode |
66f7848b | 308 | |
7c36a00a BW |
309 | Turning on `which-func-mode' displays the folder name of the message |
310 | under the cursor in index folders (closes SF #855520). | |
66f7848b | 311 | |
7c36a00a | 312 | *** Quick Key Help |
66f7848b | 313 | |
7c36a00a BW |
314 | The `?' (`mh-help') function now displays the help in its own buffer |
315 | called *MH-E Help* (closes SF #493740 and SF #656631). | |
66f7848b | 316 | |
7c36a00a | 317 | *** Search Unification |
66f7848b | 318 | |
7c36a00a BW |
319 | The old `F s' behavior of adding messages to the search sequence has |
320 | been removed. The `F i' keybinding was deprecated and the new `F s' | |
321 | (`mh-search') command is used to initiate either indexed or pick | |
322 | searches. Within the MH-Search buffer (renamed from MH-Pick), the | |
323 | command `C-c C-p' (`mh-pick-do-search') now runs pick on the given | |
324 | folder recursively and displays the results in a search folder like | |
325 | the other search methods (closes SF #829207). | |
66f7848b | 326 | |
7c36a00a | 327 | *** Entry Points Have Moved |
66f7848b | 328 | |
7c36a00a BW |
329 | Emacs 21 users must now add `(require 'mh-autoloads)' because the |
330 | entry points (such as `mh-rmail' and `mh-smail') have moved to | |
331 | different files which have made the autoloads that come with Emacs | |
332 | inaccurate. This change was necessary because the code was reorganized | |
333 | to remove circular dependencies, to make the code more stable and | |
334 | maintainable, and to reduce the time to load MH-E. | |
66f7848b | 335 | |
7c36a00a | 336 | *** MH-Folder Keymap Changes |
66f7848b | 337 | |
7c36a00a BW |
338 | There is now a keymap for the printing functions whose prefix is `P'. |
339 | The command `l' (`mh-print-msg') has been replaced with `P l' although | |
340 | we suggest you use the new `P p' instead. | |
66f7848b | 341 | |
7c36a00a | 342 | Key 7.4.4 8.0 |
66f7848b | 343 | |

66f7848b | 361 | |
7c36a00a | 362 | *** MH-Letter Keymap Changes |
66f7848b | 363 | |
7c36a00a BW |
364 | The change where `mh-letter-mode' derives from `mail-mode' adds a few |
365 | keybindings. Some are interesting: experiment! Only the keybinding | |
366 | changes for MH-E functions are listed here. | |
66f7848b | 367 | |
7c36a00a BW |
368 | Most of the changes have to do with the renaming of the functions with |
369 | "mhn" in them to "mh" because nmh doesn't use `mhn'. The names were | |
9b053e76 | 370 | also made consistent with the family of "mml" functions. |
66f7848b | 371 | |
7c36a00a BW |
372 | The type of signing or encryption has been generalized so the method |
373 | is now an option rather than a part of the function's name. The option | |
374 | is `mh-mml-method-default' and choices include PGP (MIME), PGP, | |
375 | S/MIME, or none. | |

7c36a00a | 409 | *** MH-Search Keymap Changes |
dec817ba | 410 | |
7c36a00a BW |
411 | These are the changes associated with the new search mode. The command |
412 | `C-c C-c' (`mh-index-do-search') now performs the standard indexed | |
413 | search, while `C-c C-p' (`mh-pick-do-search') runs pick as before, | |
414 | only better! | |
dec817ba | 415 | |
7c36a00a BW |
416 | The `mh-to-field' keybindings were adjusted to be consistent with |
417 | those in the MH-Letter mode. | |

7c36a00a | 432 | *** Updates to X-Image-URL |
dec817ba | 433 | |
7c36a00a BW |
434 | Now support the use of `curl' and `fetch' as alternatives to `wget' to |
435 | obtain the image. The display of images are controlled with the | |
436 | `mh-show-use-xface-flag' option while the `mh-fetch-x-image-url' | |
437 | option controls how the images are fetched. | |
dec817ba | 438 | |
7c36a00a BW |
439 | The default of `mh-fetch-x-image-url' has been changed to "Never |
440 | Fetch." Those of you who like the value of "Ask Before Fetching" will | |
441 | have to customize this option (closes SF #831278). | |
dec817ba | 442 | |
7c36a00a BW |
443 | WARNING: There are security concerns with this feature. Please read |
444 | the documentation for these options carefully before changing the | |
445 | default. | |
dec817ba | 446 | |
7c36a00a | 447 | *** Updates to mh-identity-list |
dec817ba | 448 | |
7c36a00a BW |
449 | Note that the field names found in `mh-identity-list' that refer to |
450 | the fields in `mh-identity-handlers' have changed in an incompatible | |
451 | way from 7.4.4. In general, the symbolic names now have a ":" prefix | |
452 | to avoid collisions with header fields. Before starting Emacs, edit | |
453 | your .emacs and insert ":" before "signature" if you have defined it. | |
dec817ba | 454 | |
7c36a00a BW |
455 | You can change your attribution in replies with the new "Attribution |
456 | Verb" field, and you can set your default GPG user ID with the "GPG | |
457 | key ID" field. | |
dec817ba | 458 | |
7c36a00a BW |
459 | Signatures can now be read from the `mh-signature-file-name' variable, |
460 | or come from a function, in addition to a named file. If you write | |
461 | your own function, variables that you can use include | |
462 | `mh-signature-separator-regexp', `mh-signature-separator', | |
463 | and `mh-signature-separator-p'. | |
0951cd36 | 464 | |
7c36a00a BW |
465 | The handling of these fields has been moved into a new |
466 | `mh-identity-handlers' option, an alist of fields (strings) and | |
467 | handlers (functions). Strings are lowercase. Use ":signature" for | |
468 | Signature and ":pgg-default-user-id" for GPG Key ID. The function | |
469 | associated with the string "default" is used if no other functions are | |
470 | appropriate. For this reason, don't name a header field "Default". | |
0951cd36 | 471 | |
7c36a00a BW |
472 | If you point your signature at a vCard file with a vcf suffix, then it |
473 | will be incorporated as a vCard body part (closes SF #802723). | |
5384dc93 | 474 | |
7c36a00a | 475 | *** Updates to Speedbar |
5384dc93 | 476 | |
7c36a00a BW |
477 | The speedbar now renders the folders with unseen messages in boldface |
478 | which makes them easier to identify (closes SF #623369). | |
c80ba99d | 479 | |
7c36a00a | 480 | *** Updates to mh-msg-is-in-seq |
c80ba99d | 481 | |
7c36a00a BW |
482 | Can now specify an alternate message number to `S s' |
483 | (`mh-msg-is-in-seq') with a prefix argument. | |
c80ba99d | 484 | |
7c36a00a | 485 | *** Updates to mh-to-field-choices |
c80ba99d | 486 | |
7c36a00a BW |
487 | In MH-Letter mode, you can use the `C-c C-f' (`mh-to-field') prefix to |
488 | go to and insert fields. The fields `Reply-To:', `Mail-Reply-To:', | |
489 | `Mail-Followup-To:' can now be created via the `C-r', `C-a' (for | |
490 | author), and `C-l' keys respectively. The key for the `From:' field | |
491 | has been renamed from `C-r' to `C-m' for consistency with `mail-mode' | |
492 | (closes SF #1400139). | |
c80ba99d | 493 | |
7c36a00a | 494 | *** Change Content-Type Renderer on the Fly in MH-Show Buffer |
c80ba99d | 495 | |
7c36a00a BW |
496 | This has been implemented by adding the key binding `K e' |
497 | (`mh-display-with-external-viewer'). For inline text/html parts, | |
498 | buttons aren't displayed by default. In that case use `K t' | |
499 | (`mh-toggle-mime-buttons') to display the button before viewing it | |
500 | with an external browser (closes SF #839318). | |
c80ba99d BW |
501 | |
502 | *** MH-E No Longer Calls install-mh | |
503 | ||
504 | The new variant detection code makes use of `mhparam' which assumes | |
505 | that your MH environment has already been set up. The code to call | |
506 | `install-mh', which could no longer be run anyway, was removed. | |
507 | ||
7c36a00a | 508 | *** Add :package-version Keyword to Options |
c80ba99d | 509 | |
7c36a00a BW |
510 | This `defcustom', `defgroup', and `defface' keyword was introduced in |
511 | Emacs 22.1. MH-E has been extended to take advantage of it. With this | |
512 | keyword, you can now use `M-x customize-changed-options' to see what | |
513 | options in MH-E have changed between versions of Emacs. In a future | |
514 | version of Emacs, you'll be able to see changes between MH-E versions | |
515 | as well (closes SF #1452724). | |
c80ba99d | 516 | |
7c36a00a | 517 | *** Render Signature and vCard in Italics |
c80ba99d | 518 | |
7c36a00a BW |
519 | This has been implemented. Use `mh-show-signature-face' to customize |
520 | the face used (closes SF #802722). | |
c80ba99d | 521 | |
7c36a00a | 522 | *** Derive mh-letter-mode from mail-mode |
c80ba99d | 523 | |
7c36a00a BW |
524 | MH-Letter mode is now derived from `mail-mode'. We were able to delete |
525 | a lot of code. In return, there are a few `mail-mode' commands that | |
526 | are available that may or may not be useful and the `mail-mode-hook' | |
527 | is run (closes SF #1385571). | |
c80ba99d BW |
528 | |
529 | *** Remove Emacs 20 Support | |
530 | ||
531 | As it turns out, we had already added some code that didn't work on | |
532 | Emacs 20. However, now we've formalized it and removed code that was | |
533 | present solely for Emacs 20 support (closes SF #1359240). | |
534 | ||
7c36a00a | 535 | *** Glimpse Support Removed |
c80ba99d | 536 | |
7c36a00a BW |
537 | Since glimpse isn't free, we cannot mention it. Glimpse has been |
538 | removed from the option `mh-indexer-choices' (closes SF #831276). | |
c80ba99d | 539 | |
7c36a00a | 540 | *** Use run-hook-with-args |
c80ba99d | 541 | |
7c36a00a BW |
542 | We use normal hooks whenever possible and do not use |
543 | `run-hook-with-args' (with one documented exception) (closes SF | |
544 | #643702). | |

7c36a00a | 548 | ** New Variables in MH-E 8.0 |
c80ba99d | 549 | |
7c36a00a | 550 | *** mh-after-commands-processed-hook |
c80ba99d | 551 | |
7c36a00a BW |
552 | Hook run by `x' (`mh-execute-commands') after performing outstanding |
553 | refile and delete requests. | |
c80ba99d | 554 | |
7c36a00a | 555 | *** mh-alias-reloaded-hook |
c80ba99d | 556 | |
7c36a00a | 557 | Invoked by `mh-alias-reload' after reloading aliases. |
c80ba99d | 558 | |
7c36a00a | 559 | *** mh-auto-fields-prompt-flag |
c80ba99d | 560 | |
7c36a00a BW |
561 | On means to prompt before sending if fields in `mh-auto-fields-list' |
562 | are inserted. | |
c80ba99d | 563 | |
7c36a00a | 564 | *** mh-before-commands-processed-hook |
c80ba99d | 565 | |
7c36a00a BW |
566 | Renamed from `mh-folder-updated-hook'. It wasn't clear whether |
567 | `mh-folder-updated-hook' was run before or after the commands were | |
568 | executed. We now provide both with clear names. | |
c80ba99d | 569 | |
7c36a00a | 570 | *** mh-compose-forward-as-mime-flag |
c80ba99d | 571 | |
7c36a00a BW |
572 | On means that messages are forwarded as attachments (closes SF |
573 | #827203). | |
c80ba99d | 574 | |
7c36a00a | 575 | *** mh-default-folder-for-message-function |
c80ba99d | 576 | |
7c36a00a | 577 | Function to select a default folder for refiling or `Fcc:'. |
c80ba99d | 578 | |
7c36a00a | 579 | *** mh-forward-hook |
c80ba99d | 580 | |
7c36a00a | 581 | Invoked on the forwarded letter by `f' (`mh-forward'). |
c80ba99d BW |
582 | |
583 | *** mh-highlight-citation-style | |
584 | ||
585 | Renamed from `mh-highlight-citation-p' since it wasn't a boolean. The | |
586 | new name is also more descriptive. | |
587 | ||
7c36a00a BW |
588 | *** mh-identity-handlers |
589 | ||
590 | Handler functions for fields in `mh-identity-list'. | |
591 | ||
c80ba99d BW |
592 | *** mh-insert-signature-hook |
593 | ||
594 | Renamed from `mh-letter-insert-signature-hook' since most of the other | |
595 | hooks do not carry the mode in the prefix and because the new name is | |
596 | equally clear. | |
597 | ||
7c36a00a BW |
598 | *** mh-invisible-header-fields-default |
599 | ||
600 | List of hidden header fields. The header fields listed in this option | |
601 | are hidden, although you can check off any field that you would like | |
602 | to see. Header fields that you would like to hide that aren't listed | |
603 | can be added to the `mh-invisible-header-fields' option (closes SF | |
604 | #752045). | |
605 | ||
606 | The option `mh-visible-header-fields' has been deleted. | |
607 | ||
608 | *** mh-junk-background | |
609 | ||
610 | If on, spam programs are run in background. This used to be the | |
611 | default behavior but this could overwhelm a system if many messages | |
612 | were black- or whitelisted at once. The spam programs are now run in | |
613 | the foreground, but this option can be used to put them back in the | |
614 | background. | |
615 | ||
616 | *** mh-junk-disposition | |
617 | ||
618 | Renamed from `mh-junk-mail-folder' since this variable can accept | |
619 | values other than folder names. | |
620 | ||
c80ba99d BW |
621 | *** mh-kill-folder-suppress-prompt-hooks |
622 | ||
623 | Renamed from `mh-kill-folder-suppress-prompt-hook'. By convention, | |
624 | abnormal hooks, which this is, either have a -function or -hooks | |
625 | suffix. | |
626 | ||
627 | *** mh-mhl-format-file | |
628 | ||
629 | Renamed from `mhl-formfile' to put it in the MH-E namespace and to be | |
630 | consistent with other similar options. | |
631 | ||
632 | *** mh-mh-to-mime-hook | |
633 | ||
634 | Renamed from `mh-edit-mhn-hook'. We have a family of `mh-mml-to-mime' | |
635 | functions and variables; the older mhn functions and variables were | |
636 | renamed to have a consistent `mh-mh-to-mime' prefix. | |
637 | ||
7c36a00a BW |
638 | *** mh-mml-method-default |
639 | ||
640 | Default method to use in security tags. | |
641 | ||
c80ba99d BW |
642 | *** mh-new-messages-folders |
643 | ||
644 | Renamed from `mh-index-new-messages-folders' for clarity. | |
645 | ||
646 | *** mh-path | |
647 | ||
648 | Additional list of directories to search for MH. | |
649 | ||
650 | *** mh-redist-full-contents-flag | |
651 | ||
652 | On means the `dist' command needs entire letter for redistribution. | |
653 | This was previously a variable. It's now an option. | |
654 | ||
655 | *** mh-search-mode-hook | |
656 | ||
657 | Renamed from `mh-pick-mode-hook' as part of the | |
658 | `mh-index.el'/`mh-pick.el' merge into `mh-search.el'. | |
659 | ||
660 | *** mh-search-program | |
661 | ||
662 | Renamed from `mh-index-program' as part of the | |
663 | `mh-index.el'/`mh-pick.el' merge into `mh-search.el'. | |
664 | ||
7c36a00a BW |
665 | *** mh-signature-separator-flag |
666 | ||
667 | On means a signature separator should be inserted. It is not | |
668 | recommended that you change this option since various mail user | |
669 | agents, including MH-E, use the separator to present the signature | |
670 | differently, and to suppress the signature when replying or yanking a | |
671 | letter into a draft. | |
672 | ||
c80ba99d BW |
673 | *** mh-sortm-args |
674 | ||
675 | Additional arguments for `sortm'. This was previously an internal | |
676 | variable. It's now an user-customizable option. | |
677 | ||
678 | *** mh-speed-update-interval | |
679 | ||
680 | Renamed from `mh-speed-flists-interval' for clarity. | |
681 | ||
682 | *** mh-ticked-messages-folders | |
683 | ||
684 | Renamed from `mh-index-ticked-messages-folders' for clarity. | |
685 | ||
7c36a00a BW |
686 | *** mh-variant |
687 | ||
688 | Specifies the variant used by MH-E. The default setting of this option | |
689 | is `Auto-detect' which means that MH-E will automatically choose the | |
690 | first of nmh, MH, or GNU mailutils that it finds in the directories | |
691 | listed in `mh-path', `mh-sys-path', and `exec-path'. If, for example, | |
692 | you have both nmh and mailutils installed and `mh-variant-in-use' was | |
693 | initialized to nmh but you want to use mailutils, then you can set | |
694 | this option to `mailutils'. | |
695 | ||
696 | When this variable is changed, MH-E resets `mh-progs', `mh-lib', | |
697 | `mh-lib-progs', `mh-flists-present-flag', and `mh-variant-in-use' | |
698 | accordingly. | |
699 | ||
700 | If you've set these variables in your .emacs, it is strongly suggested | |
701 | that you comment them out. The MH detection code has been completely | |
702 | rewritten and it is very likely that you no longer to set them and | |
703 | their setting may confuse other MH-E settings. | |
704 | ||
705 | *** mh-xemacs-tool-bar-position | |
706 | ||
707 | Renamed from `mh-xemacs-toolbar-position' per GNU Emacs naming conventions. | |
708 | ||
709 | *** mh-xemacs-use-tool-bar-flag | |
c80ba99d BW |
710 | |
711 | Renamed from `mh-xemacs-use-toolbar-flag' per GNU Emacs naming conventions. | |

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

f0d73c14 | 1048 | |

1050 | mail if the option `mh-junk-background' was set. This has been fixed. | |

7c36a00a | 1052 | *** Mairix Support |

1059 | ||
1060 | *** mh-rmail Hangs in XEmacs | |
1061 | ||
1062 | We've determined that MH-E is incompatible with some versions of | |
1063 | XEmacs (21.5.9-21.5.16). More recent versions work fine. If you think | |
1064 | our list is too broad, please let us know which version of XEmacs you | |
1065 | are using (closes SF #644321). | |
1066 | ||
7c36a00a BW |
1067 | *** Completions Offered by mh-refile-message Are Not Sorted |
1068 | ||
1069 | This behavior is no longer observed (closes SF #698734). | |
1070 | ||
1071 | *** Add Message-ID to Outgoing Messages | |
1072 | ||
1073 | If you replied to a message in your `+outbox', an `In-Reply-To:' | |
1074 | header field was created that broke threading at the recipient's end. | |
1075 | We now add a `Message-ID:' to outgoing messages which fixes this | |
1076 | (closes SF #725425). | |
1077 | ||
f0d73c14 BW |
1078 | *** Inconsistent Prompts |
1079 | ||
7c36a00a BW |
1080 | Emacs changed their defaults in prompts from "Prompt: [value]" to |
1081 | "Prompt (default value): ". All MH-E prompts have been updated to | |
1082 | comply with the new standard and are therefore now consistent | |
1083 | throughout the application (closes SF #730470, SF #1275933). | |
f0d73c14 BW |
1084 | |
1085 | *** Empty Shell Comments Confuse mh-mhn-directive-present-p | |
1086 | ||
1087 | If you had a string that matched the regexp "^# $" in your draft, it | |
1088 | would cause an error. This has been fixed (closes SF #762458). | |
1089 | ||
1090 | *** Quote Hashes When mhbuild Directives Used | |
1091 | ||
1092 | A related bug, if you had empty shell comments but inserted your own | |
1093 | directives, you'd get another error from mhbuild. This has been fixed | |
1094 | by quoting the hash ("^# $") like this "##" before submitting to | |
1095 | mhbuild (closes SF #762464). | |
1096 | ||
1097 | *** Inconsistent Usage in Scan Formatting Variables | |
1098 | ||
1099 | The variables: | |
1100 | ||
1101 | mh-note-cur | |
1102 | mh-note-deleted | |
1103 | mh-note-dist | |
1104 | mh-note-forw | |
1105 | mh-note-refiled | |
1106 | mh-note-repl | |
1107 | mh-note-seq | |
1108 | ||
1109 | used to contain strings. Although only the first character was read, | |
1110 | the entire string would be inserted which may have caused problems. | |
1111 | These variables have been converted to character constants so that | |
1112 | only a single character can be inserted into the scan line (closes SF | |
1113 | #770772). | |
1114 | ||
1115 | *** Bad Handling of Aliases That Conflict With Local User Names | |
1116 | ||
1117 | If a user name existed both locally and in the aliases file, the local | |
1118 | user would be flashed, but the alias would be used when sending. This | |
1119 | has been fixed so that the user name that is flashed is the same as | |
1120 | the name that is sent (closes SF #772595). | |
1121 | ||
7c36a00a | 1122 | *** Initialization Fails If ~/Mail Exists |
f0d73c14 | 1123 | |

1125 | SF #835192). | |
f0d73c14 BW |
1126 | |
1127 | *** Not Re-prompted to Sign After Pass Phrase Typo | |
1128 | ||
1129 | If there were errors when sending a signed message (like getting the | |
1130 | pass phrase wrong), the MML markup remained in the draft buffer. The | |
1131 | draft buffer is now restored if there is an error (closes SF #839303). | |
1132 | ||
1133 | *** Font-lock Gets Confused in MH-Letter Buffer | |
1134 | ||
1135 | If a user manually moved the cursor to the end of the header field | |
1136 | separator line (by mouse click or keyboard navigation) and hit Enter | |
1137 | to start typing their message, any line in the body with a colon would | |
1138 | be fontified with a gray background. This has been fixed (closes SF | |
1139 | #855479). | |
1140 | ||
7c36a00a BW |

1147 | If you received a message with an empty body from someone who is | |
7c36a00a BW |
1148 | listed in your aliases file, `o' (`mh-refile-msg') failed to suggest |
1149 | the correct folder. This has been fixed (closes SF #917096). | |
1150 | ||

1157 | If you visited a folder without unseen messages and the option "flist: | |
7c36a00a BW |
1158 | -noshowzero" is present in your `~/.mh_profile', you'd get an error. |
1159 | This has been fixed (closes SF #933954). | |
1160 | ||
1161 | *** Error Message When Trying to Send Using MH-E | |
1162 | ||
1163 | This behavior is no longer observed (closes SF #1002103). | |
1164 | ||
1165 | *** mh-find-path Doesn't Use mhparam | |
1166 | ||
1167 | MH-E no longer peeks into the MH profile `~/.mh_profile' directly. It | |
1168 | uses `mhparam' instead (closes SF #1016027). | |
1169 | ||
1170 | *** rmmproc Refile Complains No Such Message | |
1171 | ||
1172 | MH-E would get confused about which folder to delete messages from if | |
1173 | you were refiling and deleting messages at the same time. This has | |
1174 | been fixed (closes SF #1023959). | |
1175 | ||

1178 | MH-E originally updated auto-mode-alist to set the major mode of | |
1179 | drafts. Now that we explicitly set the mode, there is no reason to do | |
1180 | this, and this behavior caused problems for people who didn't use MH-E | |
1181 | who were editing files that looked like MH message files (closes SF | |
1182 | #1032353). | |
1183 | ||
1184 | *** ! Doesn't Do Regions | |
1185 | ||
1186 | Now it does (closes SF #1046330). | |
1187 | ||
1188 | *** mh-show-unquote-From Fails (read-only buffer) | |
1189 | ||
1190 | MH-E quotes the `From ' header field that is inserted by MTAs. | |
1191 | However, it was trying to do this in a read-only buffer. This has been | |
1192 | fixed (closes SF #1089870). | |
1193 | ||
1194 | *** Whitespace in pick Expressions | |
1195 | ||
1196 | The `C-u / s RET' command now works. In addition, you can now add | |
1197 | whitespace to any of the limiting (/) commands (closes SF #1122655). | |
1198 | ||
1199 | *** mh-index-previous-folder Does Not Work Correctly | |
1200 | ||
1201 | If your cursor was on an item below a folder heading and you used | |
1202 | `M-TAB' (`mh-index-previous-folder'), you would move to the previous | |
1203 | folder heading. This has been fixed (closes SF #1126188). | |
1204 | ||
1205 | *** Default Identity Prevents Insertion of Auto Fields | |
1206 | ||
1207 | Auto insertion of an identity now occurs even when the default | |
1208 | identity is used (closes SF #1204506). | |
1209 | ||
1210 | *** mh-compose-forward and Default Message Number | |
1211 | ||
1212 | `mh-compose-forward' will now default to the sent message in the sent | |
1213 | folder and the `cur' message in other folders. It also takes ranges of | |
1214 | messages and can include multiple messages at a time (closes SF | |
1215 | #1205890). | |
1216 | ||
1217 | *** Better Handling of Empty cur Sequence | |
1218 | ||
1219 | If you refiled a message into a folder and then used `F r' | |
1220 | (`mh-rescan-folder') in that folder, your cursor would be taken to the | |
1221 | first message. The cursor now stays where it was (closes SF #1207247). | |
1222 | ||
1223 | *** mh-customize Uses Group mh, Not mh-e | |
1224 | ||
1225 | The `mh' customization group alias has been deleted to avoid some | |
1226 | problems that were found (closes SF #1213716). | |
1227 | ||
1228 | *** "Args out of range" Error in Displaying Message | |
1229 | ||
1230 | This behavior is no longer observed (closes SF #1227504). | |
1231 | ||
1232 | *** Front-and-back Truncation in mailto: Rendering | |
1233 | ||
1234 | This behavior is no longer observed (closes SF #1227510). | |
1235 | ||
1236 | *** Name of the Draft File in mh-comp.el | |
1237 | ||
1238 | MH is documented to use the draft file. If you use a draft file for | |
1239 | something else (like Sylpheed), then use draft folders (closes SF | |
1240 | #1231483). | |
1241 | ||
1242 | *** font-lock Error in mh-letter-mode | |
1243 | ||
1244 | An error in MH-E was introduced as a result of a change in CVS Emacs. | |
1245 | This has been fixed (closes SF #1241017). | |
1246 | ||
1247 | *** Msg Display Broken After Displaying Msg with Inline Image | |
1248 | ||
1249 | Messages with inline images no longer trim certain message header | |
1250 | fields (closes SF #1306141). | |
1251 | ||
1252 | *** mh-visit-folder Munges font-lock-keywords | |
1253 | ||
1254 | MH-E broke highlighting in Gnus buffers. This was actually a problem | |
1255 | in CVS Emacs 22 and has been fixed there (closes SF #1393879). | |
1256 | ||
1257 | *** Illegal Filename Chars for W32 Filesystems | |
1258 | ||
1259 | Windows users who view `X-Image-URL:' images could not cache the | |
1260 | images since the cached image file names had illegal characters. This | |
1261 | has been fixed (closes SF #1396499). | |
1262 | ||
1263 | *** mh-send Doesn't Handle mml Insertions Via mail-user-agent | |
1264 | ||
1265 | Can now forward messages in Gnus if MH-E is your `mail-user-agent' | |
1266 | (closes SF #1399307). | |
1267 | ||
1268 | *** Can't Narrow to Subject with Regexp Chars | |
1269 | ||
1270 | The command `/ s' could not limit subjects that had special pick | |
1271 | characters (such as [, *, $, .). This has been fixed (closes SF | |
1272 | #1432548). | |
1273 | ||
1274 | *** `/ s' Can Miss the Original Mail | |
1275 | ||
1276 | The command `/ s' failed to include the message with the "Re:" in the | |
1277 | Subject. This has been fixed (closes SF #1438369). | |
1278 | ||
1279 | *** mhparam -components Fails on mailutils | |
1280 | ||
1281 | This error prevented MH-E from loading when using GNU mailutils. GNU | |
1282 | mailutils drops the `s' in this argument, so we did too since | |
1283 | -component still works in nmh and MH (closes SF #1446985). | |
1284 | ||
1285 | *** `/ s' Still Has Problems With []'d Mail | |
1286 | ||
1287 | On XEmacs, subjects that had special characters would prevent `/ s' | |
1288 | from narrowing to the given subject. These characters are now quoted | |
1289 | correctly in XEmacs (closes SF #1447598). | |
1290 | ||
1291 | *** Variable mh-send-args Is a String, Not a List | |
1292 | ||
1293 | This was causing errors when sending under GNU mailutils. The internal | |
1294 | variable `mh-send-args' is now a list which fixes the problem (closes | |
1295 | SF #1448604). | |
1296 | ||
1297 | *** Update Icons | |
1298 | ||
1299 | Most of the tool bar icons have been replaced by GTK or GNOME 2 icons | |
1300 | (closes SF #1452715). | |
1301 | ||
1302 | *** Strip Build Number From emacs-version in X-Mailer | |
1303 | ||
1304 | This has been done (closes SF #1466481). | |
1305 | ||
1306 | *** Rename Function and Variable Definers | |
1307 | ||
1308 | If you had ever shown help for an MH-E symbol that was both a function | |
1309 | or variable, you might have found that the hyperlink to the file | |
1310 | brought you to the wrong definition. This has been fixed by renaming | |
1311 | the macros `mh-defgroup', `mh-defcustom', `mh-defface', | |
1312 | `mh-defun-compat', and `mh-defmacro-compat' to `defgroup-mh', | |
1313 | `defcustom-mh', `defface-mh', `defun-mh', `defmacro-mh' respectively | |
1314 | (closes SF #1472029). | |
1315 | ||
1316 | *** mh-insert-letter Uses Wrong Default | |
1317 | ||
1318 | If you had used `C-c TAB' (`mh-insert-letter') to insert a letter into | |
1319 | your draft, specified a different folder, and chose the default | |
1320 | message number, you got the wrong message. This has been fixed (closes | |
1321 | SF #1473729). | |

1325 | * Changes in MH-E 7.4.4 |
1326 | ||
1327 | Version 7.4.4 addresses programmatic issues from the FSF and prepares | |
bf247b6e | 1328 | MH-E for inclusion into an impending GNU Emacs release (22.1). There |
a66894d8 BW |
1329 | are no user-visible changes (unless you are using XEmacs on DOS or |
1330 | don't have the cl package installed). Filenames are now unique in | |
1331 | their first 8 characters (DOS 8.3 requirement). The runtime dependency | |
1332 | on the cl package has been removed. Desktop saving and restoration | |
1333 | code moved here from desktop.el. | |
1334 | ||
1335 | * Changes in MH-E 7.4.3 | |
1336 | ||
f0d73c14 | 1337 | Version 7.4.3 fixes the problem where `mh-identity-list' was not getting |
a66894d8 BW |
1338 | set from .emacs. |
1339 | ||
1340 | * Changes in MH-E 7.4.2 | |
1341 | ||
1342 | Version 7.4.2 fixes the accidental dependence on nmh (closes SF | |
1343 | #791021). | |
1344 | ||
1345 | * Changes in MH-E 7.4.1 | |
1346 | ||
1347 | Version 7.4.1 fixes the Makefile so it no longer tries to compile | |
1348 | mh-unit.el. | |
1349 | ||
1350 | * Changes in MH-E 7.4 | |
1351 | ||
1352 | Version 7.4 contains many new useful features including arbitrary MH | |
1353 | range handling, new draft features such as draft form editing, as well | |
1354 | as sequence propagation and manipulation. We've also fixed bugs and | |
1355 | added a handful of new variables. | |
1356 | ||
1357 | ** New Features in MH-E 7.4 | |
1358 | ||
1359 | *** Add Arbitrary Ranges to MH-E UI | |
1360 | ||
1361 | MH-E now handles any legal MH range (such as last:5 or 4 8 10-12) | |
1362 | wherever you're prompted for a message number or sequence (closes SF | |
1363 | #728638). | |
1364 | ||
1365 | *** Remove Prompting in mh-send | |
1366 | ||
1367 | Brian Reid's original mhe didn't do prompting anywhere but used forms | |
1368 | instead. While we won't go that far, we eliminated prompting where a | |
1369 | form is already involved, such as in composing a message. | |
1370 | ||
1371 | The new customization variable `mh-compose-prompt-flag' can be set to | |
1372 | t to get the original behavior (closes SF #745622). | |
1373 | ||
1374 | *** Use TAB to Switch Fields in Header | |
1375 | ||
1376 | When composing a message, TAB and SHIFT-TAB can be used to move | |
1377 | quickly between header fields. The new customization variable, | |
1378 | `mh-compose-skipped-header-fields', contains a list of header fields | |
1379 | that are skipped and truncated if they are too long (closes SF | |
1380 | #745627). | |
1381 | ||
1382 | *** Alias Completion in Composition Buffer | |
1383 | ||
1384 | Aliases can be completed in the draft with "M-TAB | |
1385 | (mh-letter-complete)". Or, if the customization variable | |
1386 | `mh-compose-space-does-completion-flag' is set to t, then a "SPC | |
1387 | (mh-letter-complete-or-space)" with do the same thing. If | |
1388 | `mh-alias-flash-on-comma' is non-nil, ", (mh-letter-confirm-address)" | |
1389 | will show the alias expansion in the minibuffer (closes SF #745634). | |
1390 | ||
1391 | *** Auto Fields Should be Inserted During Send | |
1392 | ||
1393 | Fields that were inserted by the multiple personality code when the | |
1394 | draft was sent now insert the header fields when the draft is composed | |
1395 | to give you a chance to edit them (closes SF #747890). | |
1396 | ||
1397 | *** mh-index-tick-messages | |
1398 | ||
1399 | The command "F ' (mh-index-ticked-messages)" creates a buffer with all | |
1400 | messages ticked with "' (mh-toggle-tick)" in the folders listed in the | |
1401 | new customization variable `mh-index-ticked-messages-folders'. Chances | |
1402 | are that if you set `mh-index-new-messages-folders', you'll want to | |
1403 | set `mh-index-ticked-messages-folders' accordingly. | |
1404 | ||
1405 | In addition, a general function, "F q (mh-index-sequenced-messages)" | |
1406 | has been provided that displays messages in the `mh-unseen-seq' in the | |
1407 | folders listed `mh-index-new-messages-folders', unless a prefix | |
1408 | argument is given, in which case you can provide both a list of | |
1409 | folders and a sequence (closes SF #718833). | |
1410 | ||
1411 | *** Narrow to Region | |
1412 | ||
1413 | If there is a region, "/ r (mh-narrow-to-range)" will only consider | |
1414 | those messages in the region. In addition, there is now a stack of | |
1415 | folder limits which can be popped with "/ w (mh-widen)". With a prefix | |
1416 | arg, all the restrictions are popped off of the stack (closes SF | |
1417 | #732823). | |
1418 | ||
1419 | *** Narrow to Ticked Sequence | |
1420 | ||
1421 | The buffer can now be narrowed to ticked messages with "S ' | |
1422 | (mh-narrow-to-tick)" (closes SF #732825). | |
1423 | ||
1424 | *** Display Multiple Buttons for multipart/alternative | |
1425 | ||
1426 | A new customizable variable, | |
1427 | `mh-display-buttons-for-alternatives-flag', was added to display | |
1428 | buttons for the alternatives. The default value is nil to retain the | |
1429 | current behavior (closes SF #741288). | |
1430 | ||
1431 | *** Identity Menu Changes | |
1432 | ||
1433 | A menu item has been added that inserts custom fields if the To or Cc | |
1434 | header fields match `mh-auto-fields-list'. | |
1435 | ||
1436 | ** New Variables in MH-E 7.4 | |
1437 | ||
1438 | *** mh-alias-local-users-prefix | |
1439 | ||
1440 | This string is prepended to the real names of users from the passwd | |
1441 | file. If nil, use the username string unmodified instead of the real | |
1442 | name from the gecos field of the passwd file. | |
1443 | ||
1444 | *** mh-alias-passwd-gecos-comma-separator-flag | |
1445 | ||
1446 | Non-nil means the gecos field in the passwd file uses comma as a | |
1447 | separator. Used to construct aliases for users in the passwd file." | |
1448 | ||
1449 | *** mh-interpret-number-as-range-flag | |
1450 | ||
1451 | Non-nil means interpret a number as a range. If the variable is | |
1452 | non-nil, and you use an integer, N, when asked for a range to scan, | |
1453 | then MH-E uses the range "last:N". | |
1454 | ||
1455 | *** mh-kill-folder-suppress-prompt-hook | |
1456 | ||
1457 | This new hook is invoked at the beginning of the `F k | |
1458 | (mh-kill-folder)' command. It is a list of functions to be called, | |
1459 | with no arguments, which should return a value of non-nil if you | |
1460 | should not be asked if you're sure that you want to remove the folder. | |
1461 | This is useful for folders that are easily regenerated. | |
1462 | ||
1463 | The default value of `mh-index-p' suppresses the prompt on folders | |
1464 | generated by an index search. | |
1465 | ||
1466 | WARNING: Use this hook with care. If there is a bug in your hook which | |
1467 | returns t on +inbox and you hit `F k' by accident in the +inbox | |
1468 | buffer, you will not be happy. | |
1469 | ||
1470 | *** mh-refile-preserves-sequences-flag | |
1471 | ||
1472 | Non-nil means that sequences are preserved when messages are refiled. | |
1473 | If this variable is non-nil and a message belonging to a sequence | |
1474 | other than cur or Previous-Sequence (see mh-profile 5) is refiled then | |
1475 | it is put in the same sequence in the destination folder. Additional | |
1476 | sequences that should not to be preserved can be specified by setting | |
1477 | `mh-unpropagated-sequences' appropriately. | |
1478 | ||
1479 | *** mh-visible-header-fields | |
1480 | ||
1481 | Customize this instead of `mh-visible-headers', which is now a defvar. | |
1482 | This was done to mimic the relationship between | |
1483 | `mh-invisible-header-fields' and `mh-invisible-fields'. | |
1484 | ||
1485 | ** Variables Deleted in MH-E 7.4 | |
1486 | ||
1487 | *** mh-visible-headers | |
1488 | ||
1489 | See the paragraph for `mh-visible-header-fields' above. | |
1490 | ||
1491 | ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.4 | |
1492 | ||
1493 | *** Aliases Constantly Reloaded | |
1494 | ||
1495 | The system aliases are not loaded as often as they were, so the | |
1496 | completion speed has been dramatically improved if your passwd file is | |
1497 | large (closes SF #693859). | |
1498 | ||
1499 | *** Folders in MH-Index View Not Saved | |
1500 | ||
1501 | When you perform a search to produce an MH-Index buffer, the folders | |
1502 | that contain the messages are shown. If the MH-Index buffer was | |
1503 | deleted, or Emacs was restarted and the corresponding folder | |
1504 | rescanned, the folder information would be lost. This has been fixed | |
1505 | by saving the information in a file called ".mhe_index" (closes SF | |
1506 | #701762). | |
1507 | ||
1508 | *** Ticking Messages in +mhe-index/new | |
1509 | ||
1510 | If a new message in a buffer created by "F n" was ticked (with "'"), | |
1511 | the message would not be added to the tick sequence in the source | |
1512 | folder. This has been fixed so that any sequence changes in any index | |
1513 | folder (from within MH-E of course) are now reflected back to the | |
1514 | corresponding source folder (closes SF #709664). | |
1515 | ||
1516 | *** Custom Vars Set by a Function | |
1517 | ||
1518 | The default setting of customization variable `mh-summary-height' is | |
1519 | now `nil' which means MH-E will change the size dynamically according | |
1520 | to the size of the frame (closes SF #723267). | |
1521 | ||
1522 | *** Folder Completion Slow | |
1523 | ||
1524 | The first folder completion was very slow. This has been fixed (closes | |
1525 | SF #730426). | |
1526 | ||
1527 | *** Tick Sequence Persistent When Refiled | |
1528 | ||
1529 | Sequences are now preserved when messages are refiled (closes SF | |
1530 | #737128). | |
1531 | ||
1532 | *** Auto-inserted Header Fields Inconsistent | |
1533 | ||
1534 | For consistency, all automatically inserted header fields (such as | |
1535 | X-Mailer and X-Face) are added when the draft is first presented to | |
1536 | you. This also gives you a chance to edit or delete them if necessary | |
1537 | (closes SF #745624). Note that we would be distressed if you deleted | |
1538 | the X-Mailer field. | |
1539 | ||
1540 | *** Toolbar Spec Error | |
1541 | ||
1542 | The following message appeared when displaying a message in XEmacs: | |
1543 | ||
1544 | Signaling: (error "Toolbar spec must be list or nil" ) | |
1545 | ||
1546 | This has been fixed (closes SF #745655). | |
1547 | ||
1548 | *** mh-index-search Doesn't Find Short Acronyms | |
1549 | ||
1550 | Swish typically ignores words with fewer than four letters, but will | |
1551 | still look for acronyms. Unfortunately, MH-E was downcasing the input | |
1552 | words which defeated this feature. This has been fixed (closes SF | |
1553 | #755718). | |
1554 | ||

1556 | |
1557 | * Changes in MH-E 7.3 | |
1558 | ||
286fbd0f BW |
1559 | This release includes the new features of an index view of unseen |
1560 | messages in all folders, spam software support, relative folder | |
1561 | specification @ support, marking messages, recipient handling by | |
1562 | mh-default-folder-list, Face and X-Image-URL header field support, and | |
1563 | Fcc completion. Function arguments have been unified. Bugs have been | |
1564 | fixed. | |
1565 | ||
924df208 BW |
1566 | ** New Features in MH-E 7.3 |
1567 | ||
286fbd0f | 1568 | *** Unified Function Arguments |
924df208 BW |
1569 | |
1570 | Any function with MSG-OR-SEQ in its docstring uses the displayed | |
1571 | message by default for this argument. However, if a prefix argument is | |
1572 | provided, then the user is prompted for a message sequence. If the | |
1573 | variable `transient-mark-mode' is non-nil and the mark is active, then | |
1574 | the function operates on the messages in the selected region. In a | |
1575 | program, MSG-OR-SEQ can be a message number, a list of message | |
1576 | numbers, a region in a cons cell, or a sequence. | |
1577 | ||
286fbd0f | 1578 | *** MH-Index View of Unseen Messages |
924df208 BW |
1579 | |
1580 | Use "F n (mh-index-new-messages)" or Folder -> View New Messages menu | |
1581 | item to display messages in the `mh-unseen-seq' sequence in folders | |
1582 | specified by `mh-index-new-messages-folders'. With a prefix argument, | |
1583 | enter a space-separated list of folders, or nothing to search all | |
1584 | folders. | |
1585 | ||
1586 | Like other MH-Index folders, use "v (mh-index-visit-folder)" if you | |
1587 | wish to visit the original folder with the unseen message. This is | |
1588 | usually not necessary since the original message is annotated if you | |
1589 | reply, deleted if you delete the message, or refiled if you refile the | |
1590 | message (closes SF #701756). | |
1591 | ||
286fbd0f | 1592 | *** Spam Software Support |
924df208 BW |
1593 | |
1594 | MH-E now supports several spam filters including Bogofilter, | |
1595 | SpamProbe, and SpamAssassin. Spam that is mistakenly considered to be | |
1596 | good mail can be reclassified as spam with "J b (mh-junk-blacklist)". | |
e4920bc9 | 1597 | Conversely, good mail that is accidentally considered to be spam can be |
924df208 BW |
1598 | reclassified with "J w (mh-junk-whitelist)" (closes SF #669518). |
1599 | ||
1600 | If a message is blacklisted, and `mh-junk-mail-folder' is a string, | |
1601 | then the message is refiled to that folder. If this variable is nil, | |
1602 | the message is deleted. If a message is whitelisted, then the message | |
1603 | is refiled to `mh-inbox'. | |
1604 | ||
1605 | To change the spam program being used, customize `mh-junk-program'. | |
1606 | This should only be necessary if you have multiple filters on your | |
1607 | system and MH-E picked the wrong one. These customization variables | |
1608 | are found in the new customization group `mh-junk'. | |
1609 | ||
1610 | The documentation for the following functions describes what setup is | |
1611 | needed for the different spam fighting programs: | |
1612 | ||
1613 | - `mh-bogofilter-blacklist' | |
1614 | - `mh-spamprobe-blacklist' | |
1615 | - `mh-spamassassin-blacklist' | |
1616 | ||
286fbd0f | 1617 | *** Relative Folder Specification @ Supported |
924df208 BW |
1618 | |
1619 | You can now use the relative folder marker @ in folder names (closes | |
1620 | SF #666774). | |
1621 | ||
286fbd0f | 1622 | *** Marking Messages |
924df208 BW |
1623 | |
1624 | Messages can now be highlighted with "' (mh-toggle-tick)", Sequence -> | |
1625 | Toggle Tick Mark menu item or the "Toggle tick mark" button. These | |
1626 | messages are added to the "tick" sequence, although this sequence can | |
1627 | be changed in `mh-tick-seq'. The highlighting effect can be modified | |
1628 | by customizing `mh-folder-tick-face' (closes SF #623367). | |
1629 | ||
1630 | There is also a new keybinding "/ ' (mh-narrow-to-tick)" and menu item | |
1631 | Sequence -> Narrow to Tick Sequence to narrow the view to the | |
1632 | highlighted messages. | |
1633 | ||
286fbd0f | 1634 | *** mh-default-folder-list Now Takes Recipients |
924df208 BW |
1635 | |
1636 | If you wish to file a message based upon the recipient of a message | |
1637 | (such as a mailing list), you can now indicate that when filling out | |
1638 | the address in the `mh-default-folder-list' customization variable. | |
1639 | ||
286fbd0f | 1640 | *** Face Header Field Supported |
924df208 BW |
1641 | |
1642 | In addition to the X-Face header field, the Face header field, which | |
1643 | can display color images, is now supported. As a bonus, the external | |
1644 | xface-e21 library is no longer required. | |
1645 | ||
286fbd0f | 1646 | *** X-Image-URL Support |
924df208 BW |
1647 | |
1648 | Images specified in X-Image-URL header fields are now supported. | |
1649 | See the customization variable `mh-fetch-x-image-url' to enable this | |
1650 | support. | |
1651 | ||
286fbd0f | 1652 | *** Fcc Completion |
924df208 BW |
1653 | |
1654 | Folders in Fcc fields in message drafts can now be completed with | |
1655 | M-TAB. | |
1656 | ||
1657 | ** New Variables in MH-E 7.3 | |
1658 | ||
1659 | Variables that have been added to MH-E that have not been discussed | |
1660 | elsewhere are listed here. | |
1661 | ||
1662 | *** mh-auto-fields-list | |
1663 | ||
1664 | Alist of addresses for which header lines are automatically inserted. | |
1665 | When a regular expression matches in the To or cc fields of a message, | |
1666 | the corresponding header field is automatically inserted in the | |
1667 | message header. It also allows the automatic setting of an identity | |
1668 | (using `mh-insert-identity') to set an alternate identity when sending | |
1669 | messages to a certain person or mailing list. | |
1670 | ||
1671 | Since this is a more general use of `mh-insert-mail-followup-to-flag' | |
1672 | and `mh-insert-mail-followup-to-list', these variables have been removed. | |
1673 | ||
1674 | *** mh-show-xface-face | |
1675 | ||
1676 | Face for displaying the X-Face image. | |
1677 | ||
1678 | *** mh-xemacs-toolbar-position | |
1679 | ||
1680 | This customization variable allows the user to place the toolbar on | |
1681 | the four edges of the frame. | |
1682 | ||
1683 | *** mh-xemacs-use-toolbar-flag | |
1684 | ||
1685 | This customization variable is used to enable or disable the toolbar | |
1686 | under XEmacs. | |
1687 | ||
1688 | ** Variables Deleted in MH-E 7.3 | |
1689 | ||
1690 | Variables that have been removed from MH-E that have not been | |
1691 | discussed elsewhere are listed here. | |
1692 | ||
1693 | *** mh-decode-content-transfer-encoded-message-flag | |
1694 | ||
1695 | No longer needed since the external program mimencode is no longer | |
1696 | used. | |
1697 | ||
1698 | *** mh-index-show-hook | |
1699 | ||
1700 | This hook was never used, so it was removed. | |
1701 | ||
1702 | *** mh-tool-bar-reply-3-buttons-flag | |
1703 | ||
1704 | Obsolete. This functionality is present `mh-tool-bar-folder-buttons'. | |
1705 | ||
1706 | ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.3 | |
1707 | ||
286fbd0f | 1708 | *** Can't Refile Message |
924df208 BW |
1709 | |
1710 | Messages with invalid addresses were causing errors in ali which | |
1711 | prevented the refiling of messages. The ali error is now shown in the | |
1712 | "*MH-E Log*" buffer and refiling suggests the last folder used (closes | |
1713 | SF #680388). | |
1714 | ||
286fbd0f | 1715 | *** Empty Body Triggers Duped Header |
924df208 BW |
1716 | |
1717 | If the body was empty the header would be treated like the body and | |
1718 | was therefore displayed twice. This has been fixed (closes SF | |
1719 | #681162). | |
1720 | ||
286fbd0f | 1721 | *** mml or mhl Directives Not Always Processed |
924df208 BW |
1722 | |
1723 | The mml and mhl directives used to create body parts were not | |
1724 | processed if one re-edited a draft, or if they added the directives | |
1725 | manually. The directives are now always processed upon sending the | |
1726 | letter. You may still, of course, use "C-c C-m m (mh-mml-to-mime)" or | |
1727 | "C-c C-e (mh-edit-mhn)" to manually create the MIME body parts from | |
1728 | the directives and then send the draft. | |
1729 | ||
286fbd0f | 1730 | *** mh-alias-grab-from-field Fails |
924df208 BW |
1731 | |
1732 | MH-E was adding aliases with angle brackets around the address when | |
1733 | there wasn't a phrase (usually, the user's name), to go with it. This | |
1734 | caused ali to fail which caused problems in MH-E. This is probably a | |
1735 | bug in ali, but MH-E no longer inserts angle brackets around the | |
1736 | address unless there is a phrase, which avoids the problem (closes SF | |
1737 | #690216). | |
1738 | ||
286fbd0f | 1739 | *** XEmacs Fixes |
924df208 BW |
1740 | |
1741 | MH-E is now fully supported under XEmacs and compiles without any | |
1742 | warnings. | |
1743 | ||
1744 | In particular, the following now work under XEmacs: | |
1745 | ||
1746 | - X-Face, Face, and X-Image-URL header fields | |
1747 | - MH-E logo in mode line | |
1748 | - Emphasis (bold, italics, etc.) | |
1749 | - Smilies | |
1750 | - Toolbar | |
1751 | ||
286fbd0f | 1752 | *** Indexed Folders Should Respect mh-show-threads-flag |
924df208 BW |
1753 | |
1754 | Indexed folders are now threaded if `mh-show-threads-flag' is non-nil | |
1755 | (closes SF #709667). | |
1756 | ||
286fbd0f | 1757 | *** Threading Index View Loses Folder Info |
924df208 BW |
1758 | |
1759 | This has been fixed (closes SF #709672). | |
1760 | ||
286fbd0f | 1761 | *** No Undo Information When Re-editing Drafts |
924df208 BW |
1762 | |
1763 | Undo is turned on in the draft buffer when using "e (mh-edit-again)" | |
1764 | (closes SF #712777). | |
1765 | ||
286fbd0f | 1766 | *** Forwarded base64-encoded Messages Are Incorrectly Displayed |
924df208 BW |
1767 | |
1768 | This has been fixed (closes SF #681518). | |
1769 | ||
286fbd0f | 1770 | *** Append to *MH-E Log* Buffer |
924df208 BW |
1771 | |
1772 | The last 100 lines of log messages are kept in the *MH-E Log* buffer. | |
1773 | Previously, the buffer was erased every time it was written (closes SF | |
1774 | #685476). In addition, many of the MH-E commands now send their output | |
1775 | into this buffer instead of a plethora of other special-purpose | |
1776 | buffers. | |
1777 | ||
286fbd0f | 1778 | *** mh-inc-folder Complains if No Mail and No Current Message |
924df208 BW |
1779 | |
1780 | The function `mh-inc-folder' no longer calls `mh-show' if point is not | |
1781 | on a valid scan line. This keeps `mh-inc-folder' from complaining | |
1782 | (closes SF #678115). | |
1783 | ||
286fbd0f | 1784 | *** Folder Normalization Strips Leading Slash |
924df208 BW |
1785 | |
1786 | Leading "/" characters in folder names entered by the user were being | |
1787 | lost. This has been fixed (closes SF #676890). | |
1788 | ||
286fbd0f | 1789 | *** Print Header Doesn't Show Message |
924df208 BW |
1790 | |
1791 | When printing a sequence, the header simply indicated that a sequence, | |
1792 | but not which one, was being printed and did not show the message | |
1793 | number. This has been fixed. If more than one message is printed, a | |
1794 | page of the scan lines is printed and its header indicates the | |
1795 | sequence or message range. The pages with the actual messages all set | |
1796 | the header to the folder and message displayed on that page. | |
1797 | ||
286fbd0f | 1798 | *** Aliases Constantly Reloaded |
924df208 BW |
1799 | |
1800 | Empty lists are now handled properly (closes SF #693859). | |
1801 | ||
286fbd0f | 1802 | *** Remove RCS Keywords |
924df208 BW |
1803 | |
1804 | Removed RCS keywords per Emacs conventions (closes SF #680731). | |
1805 | ||
286fbd0f | 1806 | *** Replace Mimencode |
924df208 BW |
1807 | |
1808 | MH-E was enhanced to decode message based on charset and | |
1809 | Content-Transfer-Encoding. This eliminates the need for the external | |
1810 | program mimencode (closes SF #674857). | |

3d7ca223 BW |
1814 | * Changes in MH-E 7.2 |
1815 | ||
1816 | This release includes the new features of filing hints, hierarchical | |
1817 | file name completion, indexed search and pick integration, unification | |
1818 | between `mh-visit-folder' and the speedbar, a displayed message | |
1819 | indicator, buffer name organization, support for mairix indexed | |
1820 | search, and last but not least, the MH-E logo has been added to the | |
1821 | mode line. Code that handles sequences and message regions runs | |
1822 | faster. Bugs have been fixed. | |
1823 | ||
1824 | ** New Features in MH-E 7.2 | |
1825 | ||
1826 | *** Filing Hints | |
1827 | ||
1828 | When you file a message, MH-E now looks for an alias corresponding to | |
1829 | the address of the sender and offers that as a default folder (closes | |
1830 | SF #657096). The new variable `mh-default-folder-prefix' can be used | |
1831 | to put these folders in a sub-folder. The new variable | |
1832 | `mh-default-folder-must-exist-flag' means to suppress the suggested | |
1833 | folder (thereby providing the previous folder used) if the folder | |
1834 | doesn't already exist. The new variable `mh-default-folder-list' can | |
1835 | be used to map additional addresses and folders. | |
1836 | ||
1837 | *** Hierarchical File Name Completion | |
1838 | ||
1839 | When you completed filenames in the past, you were presented with a | |
1840 | list of all your folders at all depths in the tree. Now you are | |
1841 | presented with only one level at a time (closes SF #664821). | |
1842 | As a result, the variables `mh-auto-folder-collect-flag' and | |
1843 | `mh-folder-list-change-hook' are obsolete. | |
1844 | ||
1845 | *** Indexed Search and Pick Integration | |
1846 | ||
1847 | The indexed and pick searches have been integrated (closes SF | |
1848 | #664816). Both "F s (mh-search-folder)" and "F i (mh-index-search)" | |
1849 | use the pick template for forming queries. To submit the query, use | |
1850 | "C-c C-c (mh-do-search)" which will use the query method you selected. | |
1851 | If you change your mind while forming the query, you can use "C-c C-i | |
1852 | (mh-index-do-search)" or "C-c C-p (mh-pick-do-search)" to submit the | |
1853 | query using the respective method. | |
1854 | ||
1855 | Second, the results from a pick search are now saved in a sub-folder | |
1856 | of +mhe-index like an indexed search. | |
1857 | ||
1858 | Third, `pick' is now a valid choice for `mh-index-program'. | |
1859 | ||
1860 | *** mh-visit-folder Metamorphosis Continues | |
1861 | ||
1862 | When visiting a folder from the speedbar, only the unseen messages are | |
1863 | shown if there are unseen messages. If there aren't any unseen | |
1864 | messages, all of the messages are shown if there are fewer than | |
1865 | `mh-large-folder' messages; otherwise, the user is prompted for the | |
1866 | range of messages to display. The "F v (mh-visit-folder)" command has | |
1867 | been modified to mimic this behavior. Use a prefix arg to force the | |
1868 | message range prompt. | |
1869 | ||
1870 | *** Displayed Message Indicator | |
1871 | ||
1872 | In graphical Emacs, the message that is shown is marked by a triangle | |
1873 | in the fringe. In textual Emacs, there is a ">" in the first column | |
1874 | (closes SF #664824). | |
1875 | ||
1876 | *** Buffer Name Organization | |
1877 | ||
1878 | All ephemeral buffer names start with " *mh" while all interesting | |
1879 | buffers start with "*MH-E ". The "*Folders*", "*Sequences*", and | |
1880 | "*Recipients*" buffers were therefore renamed to "*MH-E Folders*", | |
1881 | "*MH-E Sequences*" and "*MH-E Recipients*" respectively (programmers | |
1882 | should see mh-utils.el for the names of the new constants). Also, the | |
1883 | output of MH commands is saved in the "*MH-E Log*" buffer. | |
1884 | ||
1885 | *** mh-index-program | |
1886 | ||
1887 | Add choices for `mairix' and `pick'. | |
1888 | ||
1889 | *** Logo Displayed on Mode Line | |
1890 | ||
1891 | ** New Variables in MH-E 7.2 | |
1892 | ||
1893 | The new variables have been discussed elsewhere. | |
1894 | ||
1895 | ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.2 | |
1896 | ||
1897 | *** mh-decode-content-transfer-encoded-message | |
1898 | ||
1899 | Messages that had been encoded with base64 were not decoded. This has | |
1900 | been fixed with this new function (closes SF #674190). As a result, | |
1901 | the variable `mh-decode-quoted-printable-flag' has been renamed to | |
1902 | `mh-decode-content-transfer-encoded-message-flag'. | |
1903 | ||
1904 | *** mh-kill-folder | |
1905 | ||
1906 | Now restores previous window configuration (closes SF #664828). | |
1907 | ||
1908 | *** mh-mime-display | |
1909 | ||
1910 | MH-E was not using the charset defined in the content-type | |
1911 | header. This meant that mail in a different charset would not | |
1912 | be properly displayed. This has been fixed (closes SF #655123). | |
1913 | ||
1914 | *** mh-read-address | |
1915 | ||
1916 | In XEmacs and Emacs20, this function would always prompt using "To: " | |
1917 | instead of using the command argument. This has been fixed (closes SF | |
1918 | #670913). | |
1919 | ||
1920 | *** mh-rmail | |
1921 | ||
1922 | Unseen messages are now shown in addition to new ones (closes SF | |
1923 | #667542). | |
1924 | ||
1925 | *** mh-scan-msg-overflow-regexp | |
1926 | ||
1927 | Change the variable so that a space is always maintained in the | |
1928 | beginning of the scan line. | |
1929 | ||
1930 | *** mh-swish-execute-search | |
1931 | ||
1932 | The example configuration file in the docstring didn't show the | |
1933 | backslash in the FileRules filename. If the example had been used | |
1934 | literally by the user, no files would be indexed! This has been fixed | |
1935 | (closes SF #665888). | |
1936 | ||
1937 | *** mh-thread-refile | |
1938 | ||
1939 | The "T o (mh-thread-refile)" command did not provide refiling hints | |
1940 | like `mh-refile-msg'. This has been fixed (closes SF #664829). | |
1941 | ||
1942 | *** mh-toggle-threads | |
1943 | ||
1944 | If the threaded view was modified and then toggled, the standard view | |
1945 | may not have been accurate (as it contained a potentially old first | |
1946 | message to last message range). This has been fixed (closes SF | |
1947 | #626117). | |
1948 | ||
1949 | *** mh-tool-bar-show-set, mh-tool-bar-letter-set, mh-tool-bar-folder-set | |
1950 | ||
1951 | Clicking the customize and help buttons now deletes the other windows | |
1952 | in the frame. | |
1953 | ||
1954 | *** mh-version | |
1955 | ||
1956 | The "M-x mh-version" command displayed "Aliasfile: aliases". This has | |
1957 | been fixed (closes SF #664467). See Buffer Name Organization above. | |
1958 | ||
1959 | \f | |
1960 | ||
1961 | * Changes in MH-E 7.1 | |
c3d9274a BW |
1962 | |
1963 | This release includes the new features of multiple identities and | |
1964 | alias completion. In addition, indexed searching has been revamped. | |
1965 | Various other features have been added and a few bugs were fixed. | |
1966 | ||
1967 | ** New Features in MH-E 7.1 | |
1968 | ||
1969 | *** Multiple Identities | |
1970 | ||
1971 | MH-E now supports multiple identities (closes SF #628782). That means | |
1972 | that you can have different From and Organization header fields (or | |
1973 | any other header field of your choice) as well as different signatures | |
1974 | depending on your context. Usually, the contexts are home and work. | |
1975 | ||
1976 | Add your identities to the variable `mh-identity-list' and set the | |
1977 | default identity with the variable `mh-identity-default'. Your | |
1978 | identity can be switched on the fly by using the Identity menu or by | |
1979 | calling "M-x mh-insert-identity RET". | |
1980 | ||
1981 | This functionality can be customized within the mh-identity group. | |
1982 | ||
1983 | *** Alias Completion and Harvesting | |
1984 | ||
1985 | The contributed file mh-alias.el has been rewritten and incorporated | |
1986 | into MH-E. | |
1987 | ||
1988 | By default, aliases are culled from the system files | |
1989 | "/etc/nmh/MailAliases," "/usr/lib/mh/MailAliases," and "/etc/passwd" | |
1990 | (see `mh-alias-system-aliases') and from your "AliasFile" MH profile | |
1991 | component. These aliases are then used for completion in the | |
1992 | minibuffer when entering addresses. Within the header of the message | |
1993 | draft, "M-TAB (mh-letter-complete)" is used to do alias completion. | |
1994 | ||
1995 | The package also provides for alias creation based upon the From | |
1996 | header field of the current message. Use the lasso button | |
1997 | (mh-alias-grab-from-field). | |
1998 | ||
1999 | This functionality can be customized within the mh-alias group. | |
2000 | ||
2001 | *** Index Folder Updates | |
2002 | ||
2003 | The results of an index search "F i (mh-index-search)" are now stored | |
2004 | in a bona fide folder so that you can refile messages and reply to | |
2005 | messages directly from the result folder. This folder is a sub-folder | |
2006 | of +mhe-index and the name is based upon the search string (closes SF | |
2007 | #623321). | |
2008 | ||
2009 | If a prefix argument is given then the search in the current index | |
2010 | buffer is redone. | |
2011 | ||
2012 | The index folder lists the names of the source folders as before. | |
2013 | However, instead of using RET on the name of the folder to visit the | |
2014 | folder, use "v (mh-show-index-visit-folder)" anywhere within the | |
2015 | results to visit that folder narrowed to the results of the search. | |
2016 | Additional functions have been added to navigate including "TAB | |
2017 | (mh-index-next-folder)", and "SHIFT-TAB (mh-index-previous-folder)." | |
2018 | ||
2019 | *** mh-visit-folder Interface Updated | |
2020 | ||
2021 | A change was made to the prompting of the message range. In general, | |
2022 | you can use the same format for messages and sequences as you can in | |
2023 | MH with a single exception: a single number means to scan that many | |
2024 | messages, rather than scan that message number. This turns out to be | |
2025 | much more useful than visiting a single message and is consistent with | |
2026 | Gnus and the MH-E speedbar (closes SF #655891). | |
2027 | ||
2028 | If mh-visit-folder is called non-interactively and RANGE is nil then | |
2029 | all messages are displayed. This behavior is now documented and | |
2030 | provides backwards compatibility. | |
2031 | ||
2032 | *** Threading Improvements | |
2033 | ||
2034 | After incorporating new mail into a threaded folder, unseen messages | |
2035 | can be spread about. Two new functions have been added to make it | |
2036 | easier to find them: these are "M-n (mh-next-unread-msg)" and "M-p | |
2037 | (mh-previous-unread-msg)" (closes SF #630328) | |
2038 | ||
2039 | Two new functions were added to delete and refile threads. They are "T | |
2040 | d (mh-thread-delete)" and "T o (mh-thread-refile)" respectively | |
2041 | (closes SF #630493). | |
2042 | ||
2043 | In addition, the key "k" used to be bound to the function | |
2044 | `mh-delete-subject': it is now bound to | |
2045 | `mh-show-delete-subject-or-thread'. | |
2046 | ||
2047 | New functions to navigate threads include "T u (mh-thread-ancestor)", | |
2048 | which can jump to the root message of the current thread given an | |
2049 | optional argument, "T n (mh-thread-next-sibling)", and "T p | |
2050 | (mh-thread-previous-sibling)" | |
2051 | ||
2052 | *** Refiling of Messages in Region | |
2053 | ||
2054 | If mark is active and `transient-mark-mode' is enabled then all the | |
2055 | messages in the region are refiled. | |
2056 | ||
2057 | *** vCard Handling | |
2058 | ||
2059 | If a signature cannot be identified, but there is a vCard attachment, | |
2060 | then that vCard will be presented as a signature (closes SF #649216). | |
2061 | ||
2062 | *** New Info Added to mh-version | |
2063 | ||
2064 | Information about Gnus versions available at both compile time and run | |
2065 | time has been added. | |
2066 | ||
2067 | ** New Variables in MH-E 7.1 | |
2068 | ||
2069 | The defcustom groups were reorganized. Rather than iterate the | |
2070 | specific changes here, you are invited to browse the groups with "M-x | |
2071 | mh-customize RET". | |
2072 | ||
2073 | *** mh-alias-completion-ignore-case-flag | |
2074 | ||
2075 | Non-nil means don't consider case significant in MH alias completion. | |
2076 | This is the default in plain MH, so it is the default here as well. It | |
2077 | can be useful to set this to t if, for example, you use lowercase | |
2078 | aliases for people and uppercase for mailing lists. | |
2079 | ||
2080 | *** mh-alias-expand-aliases-flag | |
2081 | ||
2082 | Non-nil means to expand aliases entered in the minibuffer. In other | |
2083 | words, aliases entered in the minibuffer will be expanded to the full | |
2084 | address in the message draft. By default, this expansion is not | |
2085 | performed. | |
2086 | ||
2087 | *** mh-alias-flash-on-comma | |
2088 | ||
2089 | Specify whether to flash the translation of the alias or warn if there | |
2090 | isn't a translation of the alias. | |
2091 | ||
2092 | *** mh-alias-insert-file | |
2093 | ||
2094 | Filename to use to store new MH-E aliases. This variable can also be a | |
2095 | list of filenames, in which case MH-E will prompt for one of them. If | |
2096 | nil, the default, then MH-E will use the first file found in the | |
2097 | "AliasFile" component of the MH profile. | |
2098 | ||
2099 | *** mh-alias-insertion-location | |
2100 | ||
2101 | Specifies where new aliases are entered in alias files. Options are | |
2102 | sorted alphabetically (the default), at the top of the file or at the | |
2103 | bottom. | |
2104 | ||
2105 | *** mh-alias-local-users | |
2106 | ||
2107 | If t, local users are completed in MH-E To: and Cc: prompts. | |
2108 | ||
2109 | If you set this variable to a string, it will be executed to generate | |
2110 | a password file. A value of "ypcat passwd" is helpful if NIS is in | |
2111 | use. | |
2112 | ||
2113 | *** mh-alias-system-aliases | |
2114 | ||
2115 | A list of system files from which to cull aliases. If these files are | |
2116 | modified, they are automatically reread. This list need include only | |
2117 | system aliases and the passwd file, since personal alias files listed | |
2118 | in your "AliasFile" MH profile component are automatically included. | |
2119 | ||
2120 | *** mh-identity-default | |
2121 | ||
2122 | Default identity to use when `mh-letter-mode' is called. | |
2123 | ||
2124 | *** mh-identity-list | |
2125 | ||
2126 | List holding MH-E identity. | |
2127 | ||
2128 | *** mh-invisible-header-fields | |
2129 | ||
2130 | Simple user interface to change `mh-invisible-headers'. | |
2131 | ||
2132 | *** mh-letter-complete-function | |
2133 | ||
2134 | Function to call when completing outside of fields specific to | |
2135 | aliases. By default, it is bound to 'ispell-complete-word. | |
2136 | ||
2137 | *** mh-show-threads-flag | |
2138 | ||
2139 | Non-nil means new folders start in threaded mode. Threading large | |
2140 | number of messages can be time consuming. So if the flag is non-nil | |
2141 | then threading will be done only if the number of messages being | |
2142 | threaded is less than `mh-large-folder' (closes SF #646794). | |
2143 | ||
2144 | *** mh-tool-bar-folder-buttons | |
2145 | ||
2146 | Buttons to include in MH-E folder/show toolbar. | |
2147 | ||
2148 | *** mh-tool-bar-letter-buttons | |
2149 | ||
2150 | Buttons to include in MH-E letter toolbar. | |
2151 | ||
2152 | ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.1 | |
2153 | ||
2154 | *** mh-get-new-mail | |
2155 | ||
2156 | Call new function `mh-add-cur-notation' to undo the work of | |
2157 | `mh-remove-cur-notation' if there was no new mail (closes SF #647681). | |
2158 | ||
2159 | *** mh-set-cmd-note | |
2160 | ||
2161 | No longer updates the default `mh-cmd-note' value. This resulted in | |
2162 | the misplacement of the current mark when the message number width | |
2163 | changed (closes SF #643701). | |
2164 | ||

2166 | ||
3d7ca223 | 2167 | * Changes in MH-E 7.0 |
bdcfe844 BW |
2168 | |
2169 | This is a major release which includes a lot of new features including | |
2170 | improved MIME handling, speedbar folder browsing, and indexed | |
2171 | searching. In this version, MH-E runs under XEmacs, passes checkdoc, | |
2172 | and compiles clean under all supported platforms. | |
2173 | ||
2174 | The "passes checkdoc" feature above required changing the name of | |
2175 | several user-visible variables. It is likely that this affects you. | |
2176 | Please be sure to see the table at the end of these notes and rename | |
2177 | your variables accordingly. | |
2178 | ||
2179 | MH-E has been written mh-e, Mh-e, MH-e and MH-E. We have decided that | |
2180 | the proper term should be MH-E. Please try to use MH-E in your | |
2181 | writing. | |
2182 | ||
2183 | ** New Features in MH-E 7.0 | |
2184 | ||
2185 | *** Speedbar | |
2186 | ||
2187 | There is now support for the speedbar. Try "M-x speedbar" (closes SF | |
177c0ea7 | 2188 | #503727). |
bdcfe844 BW |
2189 | |
2190 | Press the middle mouse button on the `+' icons to open a folder, | |
2191 | middle mouse button on a folder name to open the folder. Folders with | |
2192 | unseen messages are shown in bold, so this is a handy way to browse | |
2193 | new messages that you have filed with procmail or slocal. | |
2194 | ||
2195 | See the new customization variable `mh-large-folder,' which controls | |
2196 | when the speedbar asks for how many messages to scan when opening a | |
2197 | large folder and `mh-speed-run-flists-flag' whose default value of t | |
2198 | means to use the flists command to populate the count of unseen and | |
2199 | total messages in each folder. | |
2200 | ||
2201 | *** Indexed Search | |
2202 | ||
2203 | Interoperability with swish++, swish, glimpse, and namazu has been | |
2204 | added to enable lightening-fast searches of your mail. If none of | |
2205 | these are present, grep is used. Try "F i (mh-index-search)". | |
2206 | ||
2207 | For more information, read the documentation for the functions | |
2208 | `mh-swish++-execute-search,' `mh-swish-execute-search,' | |
2209 | `mh-namazu-execute-search,' or `mh-glimpse-execute-search' depending | |
2210 | on your preferred indexing program to see what kind of setup is needed | |
2211 | to generate the index. | |
2212 | ||
2213 | *** Threading | |
2214 | ||
2215 | Use "T t (mh-toggle-threads)" to view the threads in the folder. Use | |
2216 | it again to return to a non-threaded view. | |
2217 | ||
2218 | *** Brief Help | |
2219 | ||
2220 | Use "? (mh-help)" and "X ? (mh-prefix-help)," where X is a prefix | |
2221 | character, for a brief synopsis in the minibuffer of frequently used | |
2222 | commands. In the MH-Letter or MH-Pick buffers, use "C-c ? (mh-help)" | |
2223 | (closes SF #493740). | |
2224 | ||
2225 | *** Folder Keymap Shared by Show Buffer | |
2226 | ||
2227 | You can now use the MH-Folder mode commands from the MH-Show buffer. | |
2228 | Because of this, the MH-Show buffer is now read-only (closes SF | |
2229 | #493749 and SF #527946) and you now have to use "M (mh-modify)" to | |
2230 | edit a message. | |
c3d9274a | 2231 | |
bdcfe844 BW |
2232 | *** Better Scanning |
2233 | ||
2234 | You no longer have to modify your scan format if your folders have | |
2235 | more than 9999 messages in them. If you've only modified your scan | |
2236 | format file to allow for the wider message numbers, consider using the | |
2237 | default behavior of MH-E and simplify your MH-E configuration | |
2238 | considerably (closes SF #635791). | |
2239 | ||
2240 | To do this, you may have to remove your modifications of | |
2241 | `mh-scan.*-regexp' and `mh-cmd-note' and your customization of | |
2242 | `mh-scan-format-file'. | |
2243 | ||
2244 | You may still want the updated format files for running MH commands | |
2245 | outside of MH-E; the default of `mh-scan-format-file' will cause them | |
2246 | to be ignored. | |
2247 | ||
2248 | If you prefer fixed-width message numbers, set the new customization | |
2249 | variable to nil , set this variable to | |
2250 | nil and call `mh-set-cmd-note' with the width specified by the scan format in | |
2251 | `mh-scan-format-file'. For example, the default width is 4, so you would use | |
2252 | "(mh-set-cmd-note 4)" if `mh-scan-format-file' were nil. | |
2253 | ||
2254 | *** X-Face | |
2255 | ||
2256 | MH-E now displays the content of the X-Face header field in the From | |
2257 | field. When sending a message, an X-Face field is appended to the | |
2258 | header if it doesn't already exist and "~/.face" is present. See the | |
2259 | new customization variables `mh-show-use-xface-flag' and `mh-x-face-file' | |
2260 | (closes SF #480770). | |
2261 | ||
2262 | MH-E depends on the external x-face package found in | |
2263 | ftp://ftp.jpl.org/pub/elisp/ to do this. The `uncompface' binary is | |
2264 | also required to be in the execute PATH. It can be obtained from: | |
2265 | http://freshmeat.net/redir/compface/1439/url_tgz/compface-1.4.tar.gz. | |
2266 | ||
2267 | It has also been observed that if you don't see the faces, you might | |
2268 | have to do this (for unknown reasons): | |
177c0ea7 | 2269 | |
bdcfe844 BW |
2270 | mv /usr/local/include/compface.h /usr/include/ |
2271 | ||
2272 | *** Graphical Smileys | |
2273 | ||
2274 | Smiley's are now converted to cute little images. See the new | |
2275 | customization variable `mh-graphical-smileys-flag.' | |
2276 | ||
2277 | *** Text Emphasis | |
2278 | ||
2279 | ASCII formatting is now converted to the appropriate font. For | |
2280 | example, _underline_ is underlined, *bold* appears in bold, /italic/ | |
2281 | appears in italic, etc. See `gnus-emphasis-alist' for the whole list. | |
2282 | See the new customization variables `mh-decode-mime' and | |
2283 | `mh-graphical-emphasis-flag.' | |
2284 | ||
2285 | *** Attachment Handling | |
2286 | ||
2287 | Inline attachments are now displayed. Regular attachments appear as | |
2288 | buttons in show buffer. Use "K TAB (mh-next-button)" or "K SHIFT-TAB | |
2289 | (mh-prev-button)" to cycle through these buttons. Use "K v | |
2290 | (mh-folder-toggle-mime-part)" to view, "K o | |
2291 | (mh-folder-save-mime-part)" to save one part or "K-a | |
2292 | (mh-save-mime-parts)" to save all parts, or "K i | |
2293 | (mh-folder-inline-mime-part)" to view the attachment inline. | |
2294 | ||
2295 | See the new customization variable `mh-decode-mime' for additional | |
2296 | information. Other customization variables that affect this new feature | |
2297 | include `mh-store-mime-parts-default-directory' and | |
2298 | `mh-display-buttons-for-inline-parts-flag'. | |
2299 | ||
2300 | HTML documents can be viewed inline if Gnus v5.10 and w3 or w3m lisp | |
2301 | packages are present. Set the customization variable | |
2302 | `mm-text-html-renderer' accordingly (closes SF #453352). | |
2303 | ||
2304 | *** Quoted-printable Handling | |
2305 | ||
2306 | Quoted-printable body parts are now decoded. | |
2307 | ||
2308 | *** More Choices for `mh-yank-from-start-of-msg' | |
2309 | ||
2310 | Historically, if this variable was t, the entire message, with full | |
2311 | headers would be included and every line would begin with | |
2312 | `mh-ins-buf-prefix.' This usage is deprecated in favor of the setting | |
2313 | `supercite' below. The default has been changed to `attribution.' The | |
2314 | following symbols are now understood: | |
2315 | ||
2316 | `body': yank the message minus the header. | |
2317 | ||
2318 | `supercite': include the entire message, with full headers. This also | |
2319 | causes the invocation of `sc-cite-original' without the setting of | |
2320 | `mail-citation-hook', now deprecated practice. | |
2321 | ||
2322 | `autosupercite': do as for `supercite' automatically when show buffer | |
2323 | matches the message being replied-to. | |
2324 | ||
2325 | `attribution': yank the message minus the header and add a simple | |
2326 | attribution line at the top. | |
2327 | ||
2328 | `autoattrib': do as for `attribution' automatically when show buffer | |
2329 | matches the message being replied-to. | |
2330 | ||
2331 | There is a new customization variable called | |
2332 | `mh-extract-from-attribution-verb' which is used for attribution which | |
2333 | provides a method for setting a different language. | |
2334 | ||
2335 | *** Use Gnus mml Instead of mhn | |
2336 | ||
2337 | When inserting attachments into a message draft, Gnus mml directives | |
2338 | are now used instead of mhn directives. One beneficial side-effect of | |
2339 | this is that attachments can now appear inline as well as separate. | |
2340 | ||
2341 | The new customization variable `mh-compose-insertion' controls whether | |
2342 | Gnus or mhn is used to insert MIME message directives in messages | |
2343 | (default: 'gnus, if the mml library exists). | |
2344 | ||
2345 | *** Content-Type Now Obtained Automatically | |
2346 | ||
2347 | The value of the Content-Type no longer needs to be entered by the | |
2348 | user. | |
2349 | ||
2350 | *** Attachments Automatically Included Upon Send | |
2351 | ||
2352 | You no longer have to run "C-c C-e (mh-edit-mhn)" before sending a | |
2353 | message with attachments--this is done automatically when you send the | |
2354 | message with "C-c C-c (mh-send-letter)". There is, however, a new key | |
2355 | binding "C-c C-m m (mh-mml-to-mime)" which is analogous to "C-c C-e | |
2356 | (mh-edit-mhn)". | |
2357 | ||
2358 | *** GPG Handling | |
2359 | ||
2360 | Messages that have been signed or encrypted with GPG are verified and | |
2361 | decrypted automatically. To sign or encrypt a message, use "C-c RET | |
2362 | C-s (mh-mml-secure-message-sign-pgpmime)" and "C-c C-m C-e | |
2363 | (mh-mml-secure-message-encrypt-pgpmime)." You need Gnus version 5.10 | |
2364 | for this feature. These functions are provided by the pgg.el package. | |
2365 | ||
2366 | Users report "flashing" with the pgg.el package and prefer the gpg.el | |
2367 | package instead. To use gpg.el instead of the pgg.el package you need: | |
2368 | ||
2369 | (setq mml2015-use 'gpg) | |
2370 | ||
2371 | To mimic automatic encryption in gpg.el, use: | |
2372 | ||
2373 | (setq mm-verify-option 'always) | |
2374 | (setq mm-decrypt-option 'always) | |
2375 | ||
2376 | The venerable mailcrypt package is also an option. However, now that | |
2377 | show buffers are read-only, mailcrypt version 3.5.6 and older fail | |
2378 | when they attempt to decrypt the contents. | |
2379 | ||
2380 | *** Mail-Followup-To Header Field | |
2381 | ||
2382 | Support for this controversial field has been added because nmh | |
2383 | supports it (closes SF #627035). If you want to add it to outgoing | |
2384 | mail for selected mailing lists, add those mailing lists to the new | |
2385 | customization variable `mh-insert-mail-followup-to-list.' If you think | |
2386 | this field is evil, set the new customization variable | |
2387 | `mh-insert-mail-followup-to-flag' to nil. | |
2388 | ||
2389 | *** Gnus Issues | |
2390 | ||
2391 | If you update Gnus, you must recompile MH-E. Note that if you are | |
2392 | running the stock version of MH-E that comes with Emacs or the MH-E | |
2393 | package on a Debian GNU/Linux, this is done for you. | |
2394 | ||
2395 | ** New Variables in MH-E 7.0 | |
2396 | ||
2397 | New customization variables not mentioned earlier include: | |
2398 | ||
2399 | *** mh-letter-insert-signature-hook | |
2400 | ||
2401 | Invoked at the beginning of the "C-c C-s (mh-insert-signature)" | |
2402 | command. Can be used to determine which signature file to use based on | |
2403 | message content. On return, if `mh-signature-file-name' is non-nil | |
2404 | that file will be inserted at the current point in the buffer. | |
2405 | ||
2406 | *** mh-show-maximum-size | |
2407 | ||
2408 | Maximum size of message (in bytes) to display automatically. Provides | |
2409 | an opportunity to skip over large messages which may be slow to load. | |
2410 | Use a value of 0 to display all messages automatically regardless of | |
2411 | size (closes SF #488696). | |
2412 | ||
2413 | *** mh-tool-bar-reply-3-buttons-flag | |
2414 | ||
2415 | Non-nil means use three buttons for reply commands in tool-bar. If you | |
2416 | have room on your tool-bar because you are using a large font, you may | |
2417 | set this variable to expand the single reply button into three buttons | |
2418 | that won't lead to minibuffer prompt about who to reply to. | |
2419 | ||
2420 | ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.0 | |
2421 | ||
2422 | *** mh-delete-msg, mh-refile-msg, mh-undo | |
2423 | ||
2424 | Mandrake Linux includes XEmacs initialization code that binds | |
2425 | `transient-mark-mode' which causes problems in MH-E. These problems | |
2426 | have been fixed (closes SF #541915). | |
2427 | ||
2428 | *** mh-edit-again | |
2429 | ||
2430 | This would sometimes yield a read-only buffer. This has been fixed | |
2431 | (closes SF #624283 and SF #625538). | |
2432 | ||
2433 | *** mh-forward | |
2434 | ||
2435 | When using nmh, always specify -mime so as to preserve the original | |
2436 | message(s). | |
2437 | ||
2438 | *** mh-inc-folder | |
2439 | ||
2440 | If you had narrowed to a sequence and then incorporated new mail, | |
2441 | those new messages would not be present in your +inbox when you | |
2442 | widened. This has been fixed (closes SF #489430, SF #489437, SF | |
2443 | #629233). | |
2444 | ||
2445 | *** mh-insert-letter | |
2446 | ||
2447 | No longer uses mhl to include a message as this mangled the header and | |
2448 | gave supercite fits (closes SF #629153). | |
2449 | ||
2450 | *** mh-letter-mode | |
2451 | ||
2452 | "M-q (fill-paragraph)" now fills quoted paragraphs (for example, | |
2453 | starting with "> ") correctly (closes SF #489927). | |
2454 | ||
177c0ea7 | 2455 | *** mh-next-undeleted-msg, mh-previous-undeleted-msg |
bdcfe844 BW |
2456 | |
2457 | If there are no more undeleted messages the point remains at its | |
2458 | original position and a message is produced (closes SF #494304). | |
2459 | ||
2460 | *** mh-pick-mode | |
2461 | ||
2462 | Now calls `mh-pick-mode-hook' as documented. | |
2463 | ||
2464 | *** mh-put-msg-in-seq | |
2465 | ||
2466 | Now puts all messages in region in sequence (closes SF #630324). | |
2467 | ||
2468 | *** mh-refile-msg, mh-write-msg-to-file | |
2469 | ||
2470 | These functions stomped on the variables that held the name of the | |
2471 | last file and folder respectively for the other function. This has | |
2472 | been fixed so that the last folder or file name is preserved (closes | |
2473 | SF #580772). | |
2474 | ||
2475 | *** mh-region-to-sequence | |
2476 | ||
2477 | If the region in MH-Folder was set with "C-x h (mark-whole-buffer)", | |
2478 | you couldn't perform operations on all of the messages as you would | |
2479 | expect. This has been fixed (closes SF #621632). | |
2480 | ||
2481 | *** mh-reply | |
2482 | ||
2483 | Performing an undo the first thing after replying would blank out the | |
2484 | entire draft. Now just the insertion of the yanked message is undone | |
2485 | leaving the header and signature intact for additional editing (closes | |
2486 | SF #623693). | |
2487 | ||
2488 | *** mh-show-mode | |
2489 | ||
2490 | Now calls `mh-show-mode-hook' as documented (closes SF #627222). | |
2491 | ||
2492 | *** mh-subject-thread-to-sequence | |
2493 | ||
2494 | Make 'subject sequence a real one, exported to MH. This means you can, | |
2495 | for example, mh-forward it. But it also shows up with a mark in the | |
2496 | scan output (closes SF #489445). | |
2497 | ||
2498 | *** Other Bug Fixes | |
2499 | ||
2500 | The following bugs have also been closed: | |
2501 | ||
2502 | SF #495450: Folder buffer read-only after inc | |
2503 | SF #489706: mh-page-msg bombs out | |
2504 | SF #580772: mh-last-destination is overloaded | |
2505 | ||
2506 | *** Variables renamed to conform with Emacs coding conventions | |
2507 | ||
2508 | The coding conventions require that boolean variables end in -flag. | |
2509 | The following two tables show which variables were affected (closes SF | |
2510 | #627015). | |
2511 | ||
2512 | Customization Variables (defcustom) | |

a1b4049d | 2541 | * Changes in mh-e 6.1 |
a933dad1 | 2542 | |
a1b4049d BW |
2543 | This is a minor release which includes a few bug fixes. The |
2544 | distribution now includes the ChangeLog. | |
a933dad1 | 2545 | |
a1b4049d | 2546 | ** New Features in mh-e 6.1 |
a933dad1 | 2547 | |
a1b4049d BW |
2548 | *** Fontification |
2549 | ||
2550 | Unseen messages now displayed in bold. | |
2551 | ||
2552 | *** Viewing folders and sequences | |
2553 | ||
2554 | The folder and sequence listings that "F l (mh-list-folders)" and "S l | |
2555 | (mh-list-sequences)" create are now displayed in view mode. | |
2556 | ||
2557 | ** Bug Fixes in mh-e 6.1 | |
2558 | ||
2559 | *** mh-folder-unseen-seq-name | |
2560 | ||
2561 | Byte compilation failed when initializing this variable when the | |
2562 | user's MH environment was not set up. This has been fixed (closes | |
2563 | Debian #140232 and Debian #140817). | |
2564 | ||
2565 | *** mh-forward | |
2566 | ||
2567 | When forwarding a sequence, the mode of the draft would not be set to | |
2568 | MH-Letter correctly. This has been fixed (closes SF #489448). | |
2569 | ||
2570 | *** mh-insert-prefix-string | |
2571 | ||
2572 | Fixed to work under XEmacs. Thanks to Will Partain | |
2573 | <partain at dcs.gla.ac.uk>. | |
2574 | ||
2575 | *** mh-quit | |
2576 | ||
bdcfe844 | 2577 | mh-quit now cleans up the buffers named `mh-temp-buffer,' |
a1b4049d BW |
2578 | 'mh-temp-folders-buffer' and 'mh-temp-sequences-buffer.' |
2579 | ||
2580 | \f | |
2581 | * Changes in mh-e 6.0 | |
2582 | ||
2583 | mh-e is now maintained at SourceForge (see | |
2584 | http://mh-e.sourceforge.net/). This is where you need to go to obtain | |
2585 | new versions of mh-e, report bugs and receive support. | |
2586 | ||
2587 | The maintainers have moved much of their personal configurations into | |
2588 | the codebase, so you may find that you may be able to reduce your mh-e | |
2589 | customizations as well. | |
2590 | ||
2591 | There are several incompatibilities in this version from older | |
2592 | versions. Please read the following notes carefully for details. Pay | |
2593 | particular attention to the key binding changes in the MH-Folder | |
2594 | section. If you have customized your scan format, you will want to | |
2595 | read about the new variable `mh-scan-format-file'. | |
2596 | ||
2597 | The manual could not be updated in time for this release. It will be | |
2598 | updated in the near future. If the Preface in your manual indicates | |
2599 | the older version (version 1.3, for mh-e version 5.0.2), please check | |
2600 | the following page occasionally for an update: | |
2601 | ||
2602 | https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=13357 | |
2603 | ||
2604 | ||
2605 | ** New Features in mh-e 6.0 | |
2606 | ||
2607 | *** Customization | |
2608 | ||
2609 | mh-e now uses the customize feature of Emacs. Use "M-x customize-group | |
2610 | mh RET" to customize mh-e. | |
2611 | ||
2612 | *** Menus | |
2613 | ||
2614 | All mh-e modes now provide menus that contain most mh-e functions. | |
2615 | ||
2616 | *** Toolbars | |
2617 | ||
2618 | All mh-e modes now have toolbar buttons for oft-used functions (Emacs 21). | |
2619 | ||
2620 | *** Fontification | |
2621 | ||
2622 | All mh-e buffers now have font-lock keywords. To use, either call | |
2623 | (turn-on-font-lock) from the appropriate hook, or set | |
2624 | `global-font-lock-mode' to t. To customize, use "M-x | |
2625 | customize-apropos-faces ^mh RET". | |
2626 | ||
2627 | If you have customized your scan lines, you will have to update your | |
2628 | scan regexps. The existing regexps were changed to extract a match so | |
2629 | you will have to add appropriate grouping constructs to take advantage | |
2630 | of the fontification. Your old settings will continue to work, but the | |
2631 | folder will not be fontified. For example: | |
2632 | ||
2633 | (setq mh-good-msg-regexp "^\\(.....\\)[^D^]") | |
2634 | ||
2635 | You will most likely have to update the new variable | |
2636 | `mh-scan-subject-regexp' as well. There is another new variable | |
2637 | `mh-scan-date-regexp' which you may also find useful. Run "M-x apropos | |
2638 | mh.*regexp" for a complete list. | |
2639 | ||
2640 | *** mail-user-agent support | |
2641 | ||
2642 | You can now set `mail-user-agent' to `mh-e-user-agent' so that packages | |
2643 | that need to send mail will use mh-e (closes SF #406883, SF #470024). | |
2644 | ||
2645 | *** replgroupcomps support | |
2646 | ||
2647 | If you reply to `cc' or `all' and you use nmh, the nmh repl option | |
2648 | -group will be used. This means that the file `replgroupcomps' will be | |
2649 | used. If you have customized `replcomps', you will definitely want to | |
2650 | either copy `$NMH_LIB/replgroupcomps' to your mail directory and modify | |
2651 | it the same way that you modified your `replcomps' file, or simply | |
2652 | copy your `replcomps' file to `replgroupcomps'. | |
2653 | ||
2654 | *** MH-Folder mode | |
2655 | ||
2656 | The variable `mh-summary-height' used to have a default of 4. It now | |
2657 | varies from 4 to 10 depending on the height of the frame. | |
2658 | ||
2659 | Clicking the mouse on a message shows that message. | |
2660 | ||
2661 | Delete, refile and undo now operate on a region (but only if | |
2662 | `transient-mark-mode' is non-nil). | |
2663 | ||
2664 | SPC (mh-page-msg) now displays the message if it is not already | |
2665 | visible. If the bottom of a message is showing, SPC (mh-page-msg) | |
2666 | moves to the next message (respecting the direction you are moving | |
2667 | through the folder). | |
2668 | ||
177c0ea7 | 2669 | The threading commands "T u (mh-next-unseen-subject-thread)", |
a1b4049d BW |
2670 | "T t (mh-toggle-subject-thread)", "T s (mh-narrow-to-subject-thread)", |
2671 | and "T k (mh-delete-subject-thread)" have been added. These functions | |
2672 | do not offer threading in the true sense of the word, but do allow | |
2673 | some manipulation by subject. | |
2674 | ||
2675 | Major, major keymap changes. This was done to free up movement | |
2676 | commands in the buffer, and to provide for additional features, such | |
2677 | as the threading commands. At the same time, better and more | |
2678 | consistent mnemonics were realized that should make it easier to | |
2679 | remember key bindings. | |
2680 | ||
2681 | Added new sub-keymaps for folder commands, sequence commands, | |
cd1181db | 2682 | extraction commands, and digest commands which begin with F, S, |
a1b4049d BW |
2683 | X, and D, respectively. These sub-keymaps allowed some consistency |
2684 | (e.g., especially with l(ist) and k(ill)). | |
2685 | ||
2686 | Here are the actual changes and rationale: | |
2687 | ||
2688 | Old New Rationale | |
2689 | ||
2690 | e - Deleted. Already have x. Now used by mh-edit-again. | |
2691 | j - Deleted. Already have g. | |
2692 | ||
2693 | M-a e Better mnemonic. Matches rmail. Frees movement command. | |
2694 | M-e E Better mnemonic. Consistent with e. | |
2695 | - S Why not? mh-sort-folder. | |
2696 | ||
2697 | M-f Fv Frees movement command | |
2698 | M-f Ff Alias (keep?) | |
2699 | M-f Fo Alias (keep?) | |
2700 | M-k Fk No reason but to keep with folder commands | |
2701 | M-l Fl No reason but to keep with folder commands | |
2702 | M-p Fp No reason but to keep with folder commands | |
2703 | M-r Fr Frees movement command | |
2704 | M-s Fs No reason but to keep with folder commands | |
2705 | M-u Fu No reason but to keep with folder commands | |
2706 | ||
2707 | M-% Sd Better mnemonic | |
2708 | M-# Sk Better mnemonic | |
2709 | M-q Sl Better mnemonic | |
2710 | C-xn Sn Frees up standard key binding | |
2711 | % Sp Better mnemonic for putting a message in a sequence | |
2712 | ? Ss Shows sequences that message is in | |
2713 | C-xw Sw Frees up standard key binding | |
2714 | ||
2715 | M-n Xs Better mnemonic (extract shar) | |
2716 | M-n Xu Better mnemonic (extract uuencode) | |
2717 | ||
2718 | M-SPC D SPC Frees mark command | |
2719 | M-\177 D \177 No reason but to keep with digest commands | |
2720 | M-b Db Frees movement command | |
2721 | ||
2722 | As the number of variables increases, it is becoming important to | |
2723 | organize the mh-e namespace. Several variables having to do with the | |
2724 | format of scan lines were renamed, as follows: | |
2725 | ||
2726 | Old New | |
2727 | ||
2728 | mh-good-msg-regexp mh-scan-good-msg-regexp | |
2729 | mh-deleted-msg-regexp mh-scan-deleted-msg-regexp | |
2730 | mh-refiled-msg-regexp mh-scan-refiled-msg-regexp | |
2731 | mh-valid-scan-line mh-scan-valid-regexp | |
2732 | mh-cur-scan-msg-regexp mh-scan-cur-msg-number-regexp | |
2733 | - mh-scan-cur-msg-regexp | |
2734 | - mh-scan-rcpt-regexp | |
2735 | - mh-scan-format-regexp | |
2736 | mh-msg-number-regexp mh-scan-msg-number-regexp | |
2737 | mh-msg-search-regexp mh-scan-msg-search-regexp | |
2738 | ||
2739 | *** MH-Show mode | |
2740 | ||
2741 | While the MIME support is not complete, quoted-printable body parts | |
2742 | are now decoded. | |
2743 | ||
2744 | Some MTAs quote From at the beginning of the line with a ">". The ">" | |
2745 | is now removed in the display, but not on disk. | |
2746 | ||
2747 | *** MH-Letter mode | |
2748 | ||
2749 | New function "C-c C-o (mh-split-line)" splits lines in a draft | |
2750 | preserving the fill prefix and indentation. This is useful when | |
2751 | responding to several sentences in a single paragraph separately. | |
2752 | ||
2753 | "M-q (fill-paragraph)" can now be used on the message that is being | |
2754 | replied to. The fill prefix such as "> " is preserved. | |
2755 | ||
2756 | You no longer have to run "C-c C-e (mh-edit-mhn)" manually as this is | |
2757 | now done automatically when the message is sent. | |
2758 | ||
2759 | The X-Mailer header field is now added to messages as they are sent. | |
2760 | ||
2761 | "C-c C-m C-i (mh-mhn-compose-insertion)" now makes a pretty good guess | |
2762 | at the type of file using the `file' command and no longer asks the | |
2763 | user for the media type. If the necessary version of `file' is not | |
2764 | available, the user is asked for the media type as before; however, | |
2765 | the list of media types is now taken from the system mailcap if | |
2766 | available. Failing that, the built-in list of types has been | |
2767 | supplemented so in most cases the type you need should be present | |
2768 | (closes SF #406883, #441179). | |
2769 | ||
2770 | ** New Variables in mh-e 6.0 | |
2771 | ||
2772 | New variables not mentioned earlier include: | |
2773 | ||
2774 | *** mh-insert-x-mailer-p | |
2775 | ||
2776 | Default value of t means that an X-Mailer header field should be | |
2777 | added. | |
2778 | ||
2779 | *** mh-reply-show-message-p | |
2780 | ||
2781 | The setting of this variable determines whether the MH show-buffer is | |
2782 | displayed with the current message when using mh-reply without a prefix | |
2783 | argument. Set it to nil if you already include the message | |
2784 | automatically in your draft using "repl: -filter repl.filter" in | |
2785 | "~/.mh_profile." | |
2786 | ||
2787 | *** mh-scan-format-file | |
2788 | ||
2789 | Specifies the format file to pass to the scan program. If t, the | |
2790 | format string will be taken from the either `mh-scan-format-mh' or | |
2791 | `mh-scan-format-nmh' depending on whether MH or nmh is in use. If nil, | |
2792 | the default scan output will be used. | |
2793 | ||
2794 | If you customize the scan format, you may need to modify a few | |
2795 | variables containing regexps that mh-e uses to identify specific | |
2796 | portions of the output. Use `M-x apropos RET mh-scan.*regexp' to | |
2797 | obtain a list of these variables. | |
2798 | ||
2799 | *** mh-scan-format-mh | |
2800 | ||
2801 | Scan format string for MH, provided to the scan program via the | |
2802 | -format arg. This format is identical to the default except that | |
2803 | additional hints for fontification have been added to the sixth | |
2804 | column. | |
2805 | ||
2806 | *** mh-scan-format-nmh | |
2807 | ||
2808 | Scan format string for nmh, provided to the scan program via the | |
2809 | -format arg. This format is identical to the default except that | |
2810 | additional hints for fontification have been added to the sixth | |
2811 | column. | |
2812 | ||
2813 | *** mh-show-use-goto-addr | |
2814 | ||
2815 | Non-nil means URLs and e-mail addresses are highlighted using | |
2816 | goto-addr in MH-Show buffer. | |
2817 | ||
2818 | *** mh-letter-fill-column | |
2819 | ||
2820 | Fill column to use in `mh-letter-mode'. This is useful to make the | |
2821 | lines a bit shorter to allow for quoting in replies. | |
2822 | ||
2823 | *** mh-folder-updated-hook | |
2824 | ||
2825 | Invoked when the actions in a folder (such as moves and deletes) are | |
2826 | performed. Variables that are useful in this hook include | |
2827 | `mh-delete-list' and `mh-refile-list' which can be used to see which | |
2828 | changes are being made to current folder, `mh-current-folder'. | |
2829 | ||
2830 | *** mh-unseen-updated-hook | |
2831 | ||
2832 | Invoked after the unseen sequence has been updated. The variable | |
2833 | `mh-seen-list' can be used to obtain the list of messages which will | |
2834 | be removed from the unseen sequence | |
2835 | ||
2836 | ** Bug Fixes in mh-e 6.0 | |
2837 | ||
2838 | *** mh-edit-again and mh-extract-rejected-mail | |
2839 | ||
2840 | Now insert a header separator (--------) which packages such as | |
2841 | mailcrypt expect. | |
2842 | ||
2843 | *** mh-find-progs | |
2844 | ||
2845 | Now uses `mhparam' to set `mh-lib-progs' and `mh-lib'. Added more | |
2846 | directories to `mh-progs' so that mh-e can autoconfigure in more | |
2847 | environments. Chances are that you no longer have to set these | |
2848 | variables, and if you do, you will only have to set `mh-progs'. | |
2849 | Unless, of course, you are using an ancient version of MH that doesn't | |
2850 | have `mhparam'. | |
2851 | ||
2852 | *** mh-folder-mode-map | |
2853 | ||
2854 | The DEL/<delete>/<backspace> change in Emacs 21 broke | |
2855 | `mh-previous-page'. This has been fixed (closes SF #228907). | |
2856 | ||
2857 | *** mh-forward | |
2858 | ||
2859 | If you had "forw: -mime" to your .mh_profile, forwarding a message | |
2860 | resulted in: | |
2861 | ||
2862 | Search failed: "^------- Forwarded Message" | |
2863 | ||
2864 | In addition, the Subject field was not filled in. This has been fixed | |
2865 | (closes SF #223603). | |
2866 | ||
2867 | *** mh-kill-folder | |
2868 | ||
2869 | The user is now always prompted before this action; the variable | |
2870 | `mh-do-not-confirm' is no longer consulted here. Therefore users who | |
2871 | wanted to set `mh-do-not-confirm' but didn't because of the | |
2872 | `mh-kill-folder' dependency may now do so. | |
a933dad1 | 2873 | |
a1b4049d BW |
2874 | *** mh-make-folder-mode-line |
2875 | ||
2876 | Properly deals with folders that do not have any lines in them. Prints | |
2877 | "no msgs" instead of "0 msgs". Does not try to print a range when | |
2878 | there are no messages. | |
2879 | ||
2880 | *** mh-mhn-compose-insertion | |
2881 | ||
2882 | Now gets the MIME type automatically (assuming the local file command | |
2883 | supports the -i and -b options). If this use of the file command is | |
2884 | not supported, the list of MIME types has been expanded to use the | |
2885 | system's mailcap file. | |
2886 | ||
2887 | *** mh-nmh-p | |
2888 | ||
2889 | This variable (t when nmh is in use rather than MH) assumed that the | |
2890 | string "nmh" is in `mh-lib-progs' or `mh-lib'. This has been fixed | |
2891 | (closes SF #441776). | |
2892 | ||
2893 | *** mh-refile-msg | |
2894 | ||
2895 | No longer lets you specify an empty folder (closes SF #476824). | |
2896 | ||
2897 | *** mh-regenerate-headers | |
2898 | ||
2899 | Now suppresses "scan: bad message list" messages. | |
2900 | ||
2901 | *** mh-print-msg | |
2902 | ||
2903 | This function was looking for `mhl' in the wrong place on nmh on | |
2904 | Redhat LINUX 7.0. This has been fixed (closes SF #481128). | |
2905 | ||
2906 | *** mh-show | |
2907 | ||
2908 | Now updates `cur' sequence after a message is shown (closes SF #481772). | |
2909 | ||
2910 | *** mh-showing | |
2911 | ||
2912 | Renamed variable and function to `mh-showing-mode' to conform with | |
2913 | minor mode conventions. Added optional arg to function so it would | |
2914 | behave like a normal minor mode: no or nil arg toggles mode, 0 arg | |
2915 | turns off, non-nil turns on. This fixed the error that occurred when | |
2916 | `desktop-create-buffer' recreated mh-e buffers because it was calling | |
2917 | `mh-showing' with an arg. | |
2918 | ||
2919 | *** mh-version | |
2920 | ||
2921 | Fixed for nmh. Now displays mh-e version correctly. Cleaned up output | |
2922 | and display `mh-progs', etc. | |
2923 | ||
2924 | *** mh-widen | |
2925 | ||
2926 | Now attempts to stay on the same message number (closes SF #480922). | |
2927 | ||
2928 | No longer wipes out pending deletes and refiles without warning | |
2929 | (closes SF #481036). | |
2930 | ||
2931 | \f | |
2932 | * Changes in mh-e 5.0.2 | |
2933 | ||
2934 | This version contains additional minor changes to integrate it with | |
a933dad1 DL |
2935 | reporter.el (requires reporter.el version 3.1c or later) and Emacs |
2936 | 19.30. The mh-goto-msg function is much faster, which also speeds up | |
2937 | several other operations. | |
2938 | ||
a1b4049d BW |
2939 | \f |
2940 | * Changes in mh-e 5.0.1 | |
2941 | ||
2942 | This version contains minor changes from mh-e 5.0 to integrate it with | |
2943 | Emacs 19.29. | |
2944 | ||
2945 | \f | |
2946 | * User-visible changes to mh-e 5.0 | |
2947 | ||
2948 | Note: This being a major release, there are many internal changes. | |
2949 | This document lists only changes to the external interfaces of mh-e. | |
2950 | ||
2951 | When upgrading, you must either explicitly reload the new versions of | |
2952 | all mh-e files that are already loaded or restart your Emacs. | |

2955 | ** Major Changes and New Features in mh-e 5.0 |
2956 | ||
2957 | The emphasis for this release has been on consistency and | |
2958 | documentation. Many documentation strings were enhanced. Documentation | |
2959 | strings were changed to comments for internal functions and variables. | |
2960 | ||
2961 | *** There is now proper documentation in the form of a 75-page users | |
2962 | manual. The Texinfo source is mh-e.texi; the formatted Info document | |
a933dad1 DL |
2963 | is mh-e.info. |
2964 | ||
a1b4049d BW |
2965 | *** There is a new command `mh-update-sequences', which updates MH's |
2966 | idea of what messages are in the Unseen sequence and what is the | |
2967 | current folder and message. `mh-quit' calls it. While | |
2968 | `mh-execute-commands' has always done this updating as a side effect, | |
2969 | the new function is faster. | |
a933dad1 | 2970 | |
a1b4049d | 2971 | *** The MH profile entry "Inbox:" is supported. |
a933dad1 | 2972 | |
a1b4049d BW |
2973 | *** If the show-buffer is modified, the user is queried before mh-e |
2974 | reuses the buffer to show a different message. This buffer is also | |
a933dad1 DL |
2975 | auto-saved and backed up correctly. |
2976 | ||
a1b4049d BW |
2977 | *** `mh-store-buffer' is significantly more robust. It now handles |
2978 | messages created by a wide variety of packaging software. The status | |
2979 | message for `uudecode' includes the name of the file created. An error | |
a933dad1 DL |
2980 | is signaled if the subprocess exits with a non-zero status. |
2981 | ||
a1b4049d BW |
2982 | *** `mh-search-folder' behaves predictably, adding messages found to |
2983 | the `search' sequence. It correctly handles the case of no messages | |
2984 | found. | |
2985 | ||
2986 | *** `mh-burst-digest' (`M-b') now only rescans the part of the folder | |
2987 | affected by the burst. It is now much faster in a large folder. | |
a933dad1 | 2988 | |
a933dad1 | 2989 | |
a1b4049d | 2990 | ** New Hooks and Customization Variables in mh-e 5.0 |
a933dad1 | 2991 | |
a1b4049d BW |
2992 | *** `mh-default-folder-for-message-function': new name for the old |
2993 | `mh-msg-folder-hook', which wasn't a hook. The old name was confusing, | |
a933dad1 DL |
2994 | leading people to think they could use `add-hook' with it, when |
2995 | actually `setq' is the correct way. | |
2996 | ||
a1b4049d | 2997 | *** `mh-sortm-args': When this variable is used has changed. Now |
a933dad1 | 2998 | `mh-sortm-args' is passed if there IS a prefix argument to |
a1b4049d | 2999 | `mh-sort-folder'. The assumption is that for arguments you normally |
a933dad1 DL |
3000 | want, you would specify them in an MH profile entry. |
3001 | ||
a1b4049d | 3002 | *** `mh-mhn-args': new hook, a list of additional arguments to pass to |
a933dad1 DL |
3003 | the `mhn' program if `mh-edit-mhn' is given a prefix argument. |
3004 | ||
a1b4049d | 3005 | *** `mh-edit-mhn-hook': new hook called by `mh-edit-mhn', the function |
a933dad1 DL |
3006 | that formats MIME messages. |
3007 | ||
a1b4049d | 3008 | *** `mh-folder-list-change-hook': new hook, called whenever the cached |
a933dad1 DL |
3009 | list of folders, `mh-folder-list', is changed. |
3010 | ||
a1b4049d | 3011 | *** `mh-find-path-hook': new hook, called when entering mh-e. |
a933dad1 | 3012 | |
a1b4049d | 3013 | *** `mh-repl-formfile': new variable, used to change the format file |
a933dad1 DL |
3014 | used by `mh-reply' from the default of "replcomps". |
3015 | ||
a1b4049d | 3016 | *** New variables to customize the scan format and notating: |
a933dad1 DL |
3017 | `mh-note-deleted', `mh-note-refiled', `mh-note-seq', `mh-note-cur', |
3018 | `mh-note-copied', `mh-note-printed'. | |
3019 | ||
a933dad1 | 3020 | |
a1b4049d BW |
3021 | ** Key Binding Changes in mh-e 5.0 |
3022 | ||
3023 | *** `RET' runs `mh-show' for consistency with the Finder and Info. The | |
a933dad1 DL |
3024 | old binding `.' still works, but `RET' is now the standard binding. |
3025 | ||
a1b4049d BW |
3026 | *** `M-<' now runs `mh-first-msg' for consistency with `M->', which |
3027 | runs `mh-last-msg'. | |
a933dad1 | 3028 | |
a1b4049d | 3029 | *** `C-c C-f C-d' in MH-Letter mode moves to a Dcc: header field. |
a933dad1 | 3030 | |
a1b4049d | 3031 | *** `C-c C-f C-r' in MH-Letter mode moves to a From: header field. |
a933dad1 | 3032 | |
a1b4049d | 3033 | *** `g' is now the standard binding for `mh-goto-msg'. The old binding |
a933dad1 DL |
3034 | `j' still works. |
3035 | ||
a933dad1 | 3036 | |
a1b4049d BW |
3037 | ** Other Improvements and Changes to mh-e 5.0 |
3038 | ||
3039 | *** `mh-lpr-command-format' no longer passes the "-p" argument to | |
3040 | `lpr' by default. The mail header typically has the date anyway. | |
a933dad1 | 3041 | |
a1b4049d | 3042 | *** When prompting for a sequence name, if no sequences have been used |
a933dad1 DL |
3043 | yet, mh-e will offer the first sequence the current message is in. |
3044 | ||
a1b4049d | 3045 | *** The patterns of more mailers are recognized by |
a933dad1 DL |
3046 | `mh-extract-rejected-mail'. |
3047 | ||
a1b4049d | 3048 | *** `mh-insert-prefix-string' no longer wraps the call to the |
a933dad1 DL |
3049 | `mail-citation-hook' function in a `save-excursion' so the hook writer |
3050 | can choose whether to leave point at the beginning or the end of the | |
3051 | yanked text. | |
3052 | ||
a1b4049d BW |
3053 | *** `mh-write-msg-to-file': The prompt now refers to "message" or |
3054 | "message body" depending on which will be written. (This is controlled | |
3055 | by a prefix argument.) The file defaults to the last-used file instead | |
a933dad1 DL |
3056 | of supplying only the directory name. |
3057 | ||
a1b4049d BW |
3058 | *** mh-e uses message ranges when running MH commands. Thus "rmm 1 2 3 |
3059 | 4 6" is now "rmm 1-4 6". This change makes it less likely to overflow | |
a933dad1 DL |
3060 | system argument list limits, and it might be faster, too. |
3061 | ||
a933dad1 | 3062 | |
a1b4049d BW |
3063 | ** Bug Fixes to mh-e 5.0 |
3064 | ||
3065 | *** mh-e's idea of the unseen sequence now stays in sync with MH's | |
a933dad1 DL |
3066 | better. |
3067 | ||
a1b4049d BW |
3068 | *** Functions that are supposed to find fields in the message header |
3069 | no longer look in the message body. | |
a933dad1 | 3070 | |
a1b4049d BW |
3071 | *** mh-e would sometimes fail to remove the "%" from a scan line when |
3072 | the message was removed from a sequence if the message was also in the | |
a933dad1 DL |
3073 | Previous sequence. |
3074 | ||
a1b4049d | 3075 | *** The variable `mh-inc-prog' is now correctly used in all places. |
a933dad1 | 3076 | |
a1b4049d | 3077 | *** `mh-pipe-msg' runs the process in the correct directory. |
a933dad1 | 3078 | |
a1b4049d | 3079 | *** A partially scanned folder will no longer lose the "/select" |
a933dad1 DL |
3080 | annotation when you execute marked deletes and refiles with `x'. |
3081 | ||
a1b4049d BW |

3083 | * Changes to mh-e 4.0 | |
3084 | ||
3085 | This file is automatically generated from news-mh-e.txinfo. Do not edit. | |
3086 | ||
3087 | [MH-E-ONEWS has been incorporated here and removed. news-mh-e.txinfo | |
3088 | is no longer available.] | |
3089 | ||
3090 | Note: there are many internal changes to mh-e in this release. If you | |
3091 | have the previous version loaded into your Emacs, you will probably not | |
3092 | be able to load this version on top of it. | |
3093 | ||
3094 | ** New Features in mh-e 4.0 | |
3095 | ||
3096 | *** Background folder collection. The first time you are prompted for | |
3097 | a folder, you must wait while mh-e collects the names of all existing | |
3098 | folders. Now however, if you abort, collecting will continue in the | |
3099 | background, and you can do something else in Emacs until the | |
3100 | collection completes. Normally, mh-e will begin collecting folders | |
3101 | names in the background when you first load it; you can disable this | |
3102 | feature by setting `mh-auto-folder-collect' to nil. | |
3103 | ||
3104 | *** There is support for composing MIME messages using the `mhn' | |
3105 | program from MH 6.8. See the documentation string for mh-edit-mhn. | |
3106 | (While composing a letter, type `C-h k C-c C-e'.) See also mhn(1). | |
3107 | There is as yet no support for reading MIME messages. | |
3108 | ||
3109 | *** `mh-show', typically on `.', repositions to the start of the | |
3110 | message if the message is already visible. It used to do nothing in | |
3111 | this case. | |
3112 | ||
3113 | *** The function `mh-unshar-msg' is renamed `mh-store-msg'. It now | |
3114 | does uudecoding, too. Someday it should do MIME. It remembers the last | |
3115 | directory you used and offers it as the default for next time. | |
3116 | ||
3117 | *** New function `mh-header-display', on `,', displays the message | |
3118 | with all headers, including those normally not displayed. Type `.' to | |
3119 | display the message normally again. | |
3120 | ||
3121 | *** New function `mh-list-sequences' lists the sequences in use in the | |
3122 | current folder. | |
3123 | ||
3124 | *** New function `mh-version' displays version information about MH | |
3125 | and mh-e. Please use the output in bug reports. | |
3126 | ||
3127 | *** `mh-quit' now burys the folder buffer and show buffer. | |
3128 | ||
3129 | ||
3130 | ** New hooks and customization variables in mh-e 4.0 | |
3131 | ||
3132 | *** `mh-pick-mode-hook': new hook called by new mode `mh-pick-mode'. | |
3133 | The pick buffer didn't used to have its own mode. Another advantage of | |
3134 | `mh-pick-mode' is that `C-h m' works in the pick buffer. | |
3135 | ||
3136 | *** `mail-citation-hook': new variable for supercite. | |
3137 | ||
3138 | *** `mh-refile-msg-hook': new hook called by `mh-refile-msg' (and | |
3139 | `mh-refile-or-write-again' when refiling). | |
3140 | ||
3141 | *** `mh-msg-folder-hook': new hook used by `mh-refile-msg' and | |
3142 | `mh-to-fcc' to provide a default folder for user prompt. | |
3143 | ||
3144 | *** `mh-show-hook': new hook called by `mh-show'. | |
3145 | ||
3146 | *** `mh-delete-msg-hook': new hook called by `mh-delete-msg'. | |
3147 | ||
3148 | *** `mh-show-mode-hook': new hook called by new mode `mh-show-mode' | |
3149 | for `show-' buffers. | |
3150 | ||
3151 | *** `mh-comp-formfile': new variable so can customize `components' | |
3152 | file. | |
3153 | ||
3154 | *** `mh-sortm-args': new variable, a list of extra arguments to be | |
3155 | passed to sortm by `mh-sort-folder'. Give an argument to | |
3156 | `mh-sort-folder' to suppress this behavior. | |
3157 | ||
3158 | *** `mh-send-prog': new variable so can customize name of `send' | |
3159 | program in case of name conflicts. | |
3160 | ||
3161 | *** `mh-scan-prog': new variable so can customize name of `scan' | |
3162 | program to generate custom effects. | |
3163 | ||
3164 | *** `mh-inc-prog': new variable so can customize name of `inc' program | |
3165 | to do fancy management of incoming messages. | |
3166 | ||
3167 | *** `mh-forwarded-letter-subject': new function used by `mh-forward' | |
3168 | to compute the Subject line of the new message. It is a small function | |
3169 | which can be replaced by the user for customization. Uses the new | |
3170 | variable `mh-forward-subject-format', which allows some simple | |
3171 | customizations without rewriting even `mh-forwarded-letter-subject'. | |
3172 | ||
3173 | *** `mh-new-draft-cleaned-headers': new variable, header lines removed | |
3174 | by `mh-edit-again' and `mh-extract-rejected-mail' before offering a | |
3175 | message as a new draft. | |
3176 | ||
3177 | *** `mh-signature-file-name': new variable used by | |
3178 | `mh-insert-signature' to so can customize name of the file to insert. | |
3179 | ||
3180 | *** `mh-read-address': new function called to read all To: and Cc: | |
3181 | addresses. | |
3182 | ||
3183 | *** `mh-msg-folder-hook': new hook used by `mh-refile-msg' and | |
3184 | `mh-to-fcc' to provide a default folder for user prompt. | |
3185 | ||
3186 | ||
3187 | ** Key binding changes in mh-e 4.0 | |
3188 | ||
3189 | *** `,' runs new function `mh-header-display'. It is like `.' but it | |
3190 | displays *all* the headers. | |
3191 | ||
3192 | *** `M-#' runs the new function `mh-delete-seq'. One used to have to | |
3193 | type `C-u M-%' to delete a sequence. | |
3194 | ||
3195 | *** `<' no longer does `mh-first-msg', but `M->' now does | |
3196 | `mh-last-msg'. This allows first and last to be consistent (`>' was | |
3197 | taken) and is more likely to be discovered by chance anyway. | |
3198 | ||
3199 | *** `M-d' runs `mh-redistribute', `r' runs `mh-reply' (on the theory | |
3200 | that the more commonly used function should be easier to type, and the | |
3201 | obscure action of redistributing can be harder to type). | |
3202 | ||
3203 | *** `M-o' changed to `C-o' (`mh-write-msg-to-file'). It was | |
3204 | interfering with arrow keys for some people. | |
3205 | ||
3206 | *** `M-n' now runs `mh-store-msg' (formerly `mh-unshar-msg'). | |
3207 | ||
3208 | *** `b' no longer runs `mh-quit'; use `q' instead. `b' may be used in | |
3209 | a future version for something else. | |
3210 | ||
3211 | ||
3212 | ** Minor improvements to mh-e 4.0 | |
3213 | ||
3214 | *** The mh-e code is now divided into multiple Emacs Lisp files, so it | |
3215 | starts up faster because Emacs doesn't have to load all of it at once. | |
3216 | (This change also makes it easier for the maintainer to manage | |
3217 | things.) | |
3218 | ||
3219 | *** When searching for the directory containing the MH programs, | |
3220 | search the user's PATH in addition to the built-in directories, to | |
3221 | increase the chance of finding the MH programs. | |
3222 | ||
3223 | *** The subject for a forwarded message no longer has ugly square | |
3224 | brackets around it. | |
3225 | ||
3226 | *** The name of the folder is no longer appears twice in the show | |
3227 | buffer mode line. | |
3228 | ||
3229 | *** When typing a folder name in the minibuffer, parent folders | |
3230 | complete to the trailing slash (/), for easier typing of subfolders. | |
3231 | ||
3232 | *** The folder buffer mode name changed from `mh-e scan' or `mh-e | |
3233 | show' to `MH-Folder', which makes the hook name easier to guess. Added | |
3234 | `mh-showing' to `minor-mode-alist' so there is still an indication in | |
3235 | the mode line of whether messages will be shown automatically. | |
3236 | ||
3237 | *** `mh-rename-seq' does completion on the old sequence name. | |
3238 | ||
3239 | *** If called by a user who has never used MH on this system before, | |
3240 | mh-e runs the MH program `install-mh' to get them set up. | |
3241 | ||
3242 | *** Undo history for previous messages is not kept to avoid wasting | |
3243 | memory. | |
3244 | ||
3245 | *** The internal temp buffer used by mh-e has `buffer-offer-save' | |
3246 | explicitly nil. This change benefits people who change the | |
3247 | `buffer-offer-save' default. | |
3248 | ||
3249 | ||
3250 | ** Bug fixes to mh-e 4.0 | |
3251 | ||
3252 | *** `mh-to-field': don't bomb if no To: field. | |
3253 | ||
3254 | *** `mh-get-new-mail': restore annotations, e.g., cur, even if no new | |
3255 | mail. | |
3256 | ||
3257 | *** `mh-rename-seq': verify that the new seq name was accepted by | |
3258 | `mark' before updating state. | |
3259 | ||
3260 | *** `mh-internal-seq': the Previous sequence is not notated, since it | |
3261 | would notate everything scanned. | |
3262 | ||
3263 | *** `mh-read-draft': don't call `find-file-noselect' so an | |
3264 | `auto-mode-alist' doesn't trigger `mh-letter-mode-hook' twice. Faster, | |
3265 | too. | |
3266 | ||
3267 | *** `mh-show': If user moves onto a message that doesn't exist, don't | |
3268 | leave the cursor in the show pane. | |
3269 | ||
3270 | *** `mh-delete-scan-msgs': use `equal', not `=', on the result of | |
3271 | `mh-get-msg-num', since it may be nil. | |
3272 | ||
3273 | *** `mh-get-field': do anchored search so searching for `reply-to:' | |
3274 | doesn't find `in-reply-to:'. | |
3275 | ||
