* Changes in MH-E 8.6
|
||
|
||
Version 8.6 fixes composition errors in nmh 1.6.
|
||
|
||
** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.6
|
||
|
||
*** Add support for nmh 1.5
|
||
|
||
A components file is now generated that works with nmh 1.5 (partially
|
||
closes SF #468).
|
||
|
||
*** Error if mh-x-face-file is nil
|
||
|
||
Ensure that `mh-x-face-file' is a string before trying to use it
|
||
(closes SF #474).
|
||
|
||
*** MH-Folder buffer includes "scan: bad message list unseen"
|
||
|
||
Fix this error (closes SF #471).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Changes in MH-E 8.5
|
||
|
||
Version 8.5 fixes bugs when incorporating or forwarding mail.
|
||
|
||
** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.5
|
||
|
||
*** mh-rmail doesn't switch to +inbox
|
||
|
||
The function `mh-rmail' now switches to `+inbox' as expected (closes
|
||
SF #271).
|
||
|
||
*** Problem forwarding a message
|
||
|
||
Forwarding messages resulted in the error: `(wrong-type-argument
|
||
number-or-marker-p nil).' This has been fixed by setting the mail
|
||
separator (closes SF #270).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Changes in MH-E 8.4
|
||
|
||
Version 8.4 postpones junk processing and merges in your components
|
||
file when re-editing a draft. A few bugs were also fixed.
|
||
|
||
** New Features in MH-E 8.4
|
||
|
||
*** Postpone junk processing
|
||
|
||
The `J w' (`mh-junk-whitelist') and `J b' (`mh-junk-blacklist')
|
||
commands now mark the message. Like with other marks, this mark can be
|
||
removed with `u' (`mh-undo') and processed with `x'
|
||
(`mh-execute-commands'). Thanks to Ted Phelps (closes SF #2945712).
|
||
|
||
** New Variables in MH-E 8.4
|
||
|
||
*** mh-blacklist-msg-hook
|
||
|
||
Hook run by `J b' (`mh-junk-blacklist') after marking each message for blacklisting.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-whitelist-msg-hook
|
||
|
||
Hook run by `J w' (`mh-junk-whitelist') after marking each message for whitelisting.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-whitelist-preserves-sequences-flag
|
||
|
||
Non-nil means that sequences are preserved when messages are
|
||
whitelisted.
|
||
|
||
** New Faces in MH-E 8.4
|
||
|
||
*** mh-folder-blacklisted
|
||
|
||
Blacklisted message face.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-folder-whitelisted
|
||
|
||
Whitelisted message face.
|
||
|
||
** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.4
|
||
|
||
*** mh-edit-again should add Fcc
|
||
|
||
More generally, `mh-edit-again' now merges the components file into
|
||
the draft (closes SF #1708292).
|
||
|
||
*** Loses changes when message column goes from 1 to 2 digits
|
||
|
||
Call `mh-process-or-undo-commands' before running inc to insure we do
|
||
not lose any pending changes (closes SF #2321115).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-yank-cur-msg fails in emacs 23
|
||
|
||
Replace usage of `set-buffer' with `with-current-buffer' (closes SF
|
||
#2830504).
|
||
|
||
*** Folder pack action (Fp) missing in show mode
|
||
|
||
Add missing key binding for `mh-show-pack-folder' (closes SF #3466086).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Changes in MH-E 8.3.1
|
||
|
||
This version of MH-E fixes typos in the documentation and is packaged
|
||
with GNU Emacs 24.1
|
||
|
||
* Changes in MH-E 8.3
|
||
|
||
In 2010, the version control system (VCS) of Emacs was upgraded from
|
||
CVS to Bazaar. In 2011, the MH-E team followed suit and upgraded the
|
||
MH-E repository at SourceForge from CVS to Bazaar as well. The result
|
||
is version 8.3 of MH-E, which includes needed changes to the build
|
||
scripts.
|
||
|
||
Otherwise, this is a small release that includes mostly internal
|
||
changes from the Emacs team. One of these changes manifests itself in
|
||
the user interface--you can now complete folders with abbreviations,
|
||
meaning that `+f/b/b TAB' can complete to `+foo/bar/baz'.
|
||
|
||
Also, RFC 2047-encoded Subject header fields in replies are now
|
||
decoded.
|
||
|
||
It also fixes compilation warnings in XEmacs 21.5.31, as
|
||
well as an error when running XEmacs 21.5.31 in a terminal.
|
||
|
||
Another implication of the VCS change is that users who download MH-E
|
||
from SourceForge and explicitly load MH-E will have to be change their
|
||
`load-path' to "/path/to/mh-e/emacs/trunk/lisp/mh-e" instead. Note the
|
||
addition of "trunk."
|
||
|
||
** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.3
|
||
|
||
*** Make mh-showing a legitimate minor mode
|
||
|
||
The `mh-showing-mode' variable is now defined with `define-minor-mode'
|
||
(closes SF #482666).
|
||
|
||
*** Desktop fails to restore MH-Folder buffers
|
||
|
||
When restoring MH folders from ".emacs.desktop", Emacs now opens them in
|
||
the expected `mh-folder' mode instead of `dired-mode' (closes SF #1510145)
|
||
|
||
*** *MH-E Log* buffer can point to removed directory
|
||
This was caused by using `set-buffer' instead of
|
||
`with-current-buffer.' This has been fixed thanks to Stefan Monnier
|
||
(closes SF #1903293).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Changes in MH-E 8.2
|
||
|
||
Version 8.2 of MH-E appeared in GNU Emacs 23.1. This is a small
|
||
release that includes internal changes from the Emacs team. A new
|
||
hook, `mh-pack-folder-hook', has been added.
|
||
|
||
There is a known bug where you can't attach attachments in Emacs 21.
|
||
This will be fixed in 8.2.1.
|
||
|
||
** New Variables in MH-E 8.2
|
||
|
||
*** mh-pack-folder-hook
|
||
|
||
The `mh-pack-folder-hook' is run by `F p' (`mh-pack-folder') after
|
||
renumbering the messages. Hook functions can access the current folder
|
||
name with `mh-current-folder'.
|
||
|
||
** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.2
|
||
|
||
*** New version of mh-mm-save-part
|
||
|
||
Several functions have been updated with code from Gnus 5.11 (closes
|
||
SF #2235022).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Changes in MH-E 8.1
|
||
|
||
Version 8.1 fixes some issues with forwarding messages, respects the
|
||
MH environment variable, adds the abilities to use aliases with GPG
|
||
and show HTML even though it is discouraged. A new hook,
|
||
`mh-annotate-msg-hook', has been added.
|
||
|
||
** New Features in MH-E 8.1
|
||
|
||
*** Showing HTML When Text Is the Preferred Alternative
|
||
|
||
The `:' (`mh-show-preferred-alternative') function displays the
|
||
message with the default preferred alternative. This is as if
|
||
`mm-discouraged-alternatives' was set to nil (closes SF #1777321).
|
||
|
||
** New Variables in MH-E 8.1
|
||
|
||
*** mh-annotate-msg-hook
|
||
|
||
The `mh-annotate-msg-hook' hook is run whenever a message is sent and
|
||
after the scan lines and message are annotated. Hook functions can
|
||
access the current folder name with `mh-current-folder' and obtain the
|
||
message numbers of the annotated messages with `mh-annotate-list'
|
||
(closes SF #2032269).
|
||
|
||
** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.1
|
||
|
||
*** Can't Use Aliases with GPG
|
||
|
||
GPG requires e-mail addresses, not aliases. So resolve aliases before
|
||
passing addresses to GPG/PGP (closes SF #649226).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-mml-forward-message: Disposition Should Be Inline
|
||
|
||
The `f' (`mh-forward') function now forwards messages as inline
|
||
attachments (closes SF #1378993).
|
||
|
||
*** Illegal Filename Characters on Windows Filesystems
|
||
|
||
The X-Image-URL cache created filenames with invalid characters on
|
||
Windows. This has been fixed with assistance from Darel Henman (closes
|
||
SF #1396499).
|
||
|
||
*** Make Many Header Fields Invisible
|
||
|
||
A vast landscape of header fields are now invisible. You may wish to
|
||
browse `mh-invisible-header-fields-default' and clean up your
|
||
`mh-invisible-header-fields' option. A permanent bug (SF #1916032) has
|
||
been created where you can submit header fields that should be
|
||
rendered invisible (closes SF #1701231).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-forward Includes Messages in Reverse Order
|
||
|
||
The `f' (`mh-forward') function now includes messages in ascending
|
||
order (closes SF #1730393).
|
||
|
||
*** Compile Fails on XEmacs 21.5 beta 28
|
||
|
||
This has been fixed with help from Henrique Martins (closes SF
|
||
#1749774).
|
||
|
||
*** Rename Variant mu-mh to gnu-mh
|
||
|
||
The GNU mailutils MH variant was named inconsistently. The variant has
|
||
been renamed to gnu-mh throughout. Thanks to Darel Henman (closes SF
|
||
#1768928).
|
||
|
||
*** Respect MH environment Variable
|
||
|
||
Even if the MH environment variable was set, an error was generated if
|
||
"~/.mh_profile" was missing. This has been fixed thanks to Xavier
|
||
Maillard (closes SF #1946861).
|
||
|
||
*** Enhance mh-mairix-regexp-builder
|
||
|
||
Additional items have been added to the Mairix search string in order
|
||
to support org-mode. Thanks to Nick Dokos (closes SF #1965704).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-mh-to-mime and mh-mh-to-mime-undo Reset Modes
|
||
|
||
The functions `mh-mh-to-mime' and `mh-mh-to-mime-undo' would reset the
|
||
buffer to fundamental mode. This has been fixed thanks to Sergey
|
||
Poznyakoff (closes SF #1966722).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Changes in MH-E 8.0.3
|
||
|
||
Version 8.0.3 fixes errors in sending messages and in running spam
|
||
filter commands in certain circumstances.
|
||
|
||
** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.0.3
|
||
|
||
*** mh-send-args Cannot Be nil
|
||
|
||
If `mh-send-uses-spost-flag' was set, an error would prevent the
|
||
sending of messages. This has been fixed (closes SF #1564742).
|
||
|
||
*** Missing Quotes in sa-learn Command Line
|
||
|
||
This has been fixed (closes SF #1565460).
|
||
|
||
*** Errors Associated with mh-junk-background
|
||
|
||
The SpamAssassin filter commands were used inconsistently and
|
||
incorrectly; if `mh-junk-background' were nil, not all of the updating
|
||
would happen correctly. In the other back-ends such as bogofilter and
|
||
SpamProbe, a value of t for `mh-junk-background' would cause the
|
||
commands associated with these filters to fail. These problems have
|
||
been fixed (closes SF #1594802).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Changes in MH-E 8.0.2
|
||
|
||
Version 8.0.2 fixes the tool bar and `F n' on XEmacs, and `K a' on GNU
|
||
mailutils.
|
||
|
||
** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.0.2
|
||
|
||
*** Tool Bar Not Displayed in XEmacs
|
||
|
||
The MH-E tool bar didn't show up in XEmacs; now it does. Thanks to Ted
|
||
Phelps <phelps@gnusto.com> (closes SF #1506846).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-mime-save-parts Assumes -store Default
|
||
|
||
It was assumed that -store was the default for both mhn and mhstore.
|
||
This has been fixed by using -store except when using nmh. Thanks to
|
||
Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net> (closes SF #1513140).
|
||
|
||
*** F-n Doesn't Work
|
||
|
||
The fix for SF #1499712 broke `F n' (`mh-index-new-messages') on
|
||
XEmacs since a regular expression that XEmacs could not handle was
|
||
added. This regexp has been fixed (closes SF #1514424).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Changes in MH-E 8.0.1
|
||
|
||
Version 8.0.1 works around a couple of bugs in GNU mailutils, spost,
|
||
and Windows. MH-E now requires the use of version 1.0 of mailutils due
|
||
to a bug in the folder command.
|
||
|
||
** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.0.1
|
||
|
||
*** Infinite Loop When Searching (mailutils)
|
||
|
||
The GNU mailutils folder command displays output when a folder doesn't
|
||
exist. MH-E didn't expect this and responded with an infinite loop
|
||
during searches. While this bug has since been fixed in mailutils,
|
||
MH-E has been modified to work anyway (closes SF #1499712).
|
||
|
||
*** spost Doesn't Have -msgid or -mime Flags
|
||
|
||
The post replacement spost does not support the -msgid or -mime flags.
|
||
A new variable `mh-send-uses-spost-flag' was added to control the use
|
||
of these flags (closes SF #1486726).
|
||
|
||
*** <2> in Search Folders Illegal in Windows
|
||
|
||
The <2> suffix to the search folder names contain illegal filename
|
||
characters in Windows. These cause searches to fail on Windows. This
|
||
has been fixed by changing the suffix to -2 (closes SF #1507002).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Changes in MH-E 8.0
|
||
|
||
Version 8.0 supports GNU mailutils, S/MIME, picons, which-func-mode,
|
||
sports an improved interface for hiding header fields, improves upon
|
||
the MH variant detection, improves folder completion, makes the pick
|
||
search equivalent to the other types of searches, spruces up the tool
|
||
bar, creates the correct MIME type when including OpenOffice
|
||
documents, works on a Mac, adds colors to buttons for signed or
|
||
encrypted messages, incorporates new features introduced in
|
||
Emacs 22.1, fixes a bunch of bugs, and best of all, comes with an
|
||
updated manual!
|
||
|
||
Internally, MH-E now sports a new software organization which will
|
||
help future maintainability. As a side-effect, the number of XEmacs
|
||
compilation warnings has plummeted from hundreds to just three. CVS
|
||
users will notice that MH-E has been migrated from the CVS repository
|
||
from SourceForge to Savannah (but only for those files that were
|
||
already part of Emacs). As a result, the location of MH-E in the
|
||
load-path has changed, and mh-e-autoloads.el was renamed to
|
||
mh-autoloads.el. See section INSTALL in the README for details. While
|
||
this migration will benefit maintainers, it will also benefit users:
|
||
CVS Emacs users will not have to check out MH-E separately and welcome
|
||
faster MH-E updates, and CVS MH-E users will welcome faster MH-E
|
||
updates from Emacs developers. Read section CVS MH-E INSTALL in the
|
||
README for details.
|
||
|
||
While not related to this release, the MH-E mailing lists are now
|
||
gatewayed at gmane.org (closes SF #979308).

||
** New Features in MH-E 8.0
|
||
|
||
*** GNU mailutils Support
|
||
|
||
MH-E now supports GNU mailutils 0.4 and higher versions.
|
||
|
||
*** S/MIME Support
|
||
|
||
MH-E now supports S/MIME using Gnus 5.10.6 or higher.
|
||
|
||
*** Picon Support
|
||
|
||
In addition to the other methods of displaying an icon for the sender
|
||
of a message, MH-E can now display images from a picon directory. The
|
||
directory search path is found in the `mh-picon-directory-list'
|
||
variable. More documentation is found in the "facedb" sections in the
|
||
xfaces man page.
|
||
|
||
*** Catchup Command
|
||
|
||
There is a new `F c' (`mh-catchup') command that marks all unread
|
||
messages in the current folder as read.
|
||
|
||
*** Use which-func-mode to Display Folder in Index Mode
|
||
|
||
Turning on `which-func-mode' displays the folder name of the message
|
||
under the cursor in index folders (closes SF #855520).
|
||
|
||
*** Quick Key Help
|
||
|
||
The `?' (`mh-help') function now displays the help in its own buffer
|
||
called *MH-E Help* (closes SF #493740 and SF #656631).
|
||
|
||
*** Search Unification
|
||
|
||
The old `F s' behavior of adding messages to the search sequence has
|
||
been removed. The `F i' keybinding was deprecated and the new `F s'
|
||
(`mh-search') command is used to initiate either indexed or pick
|
||
searches. Within the MH-Search buffer (renamed from MH-Pick), the
|
||
command `C-c C-p' (`mh-pick-do-search') now runs pick on the given
|
||
folder recursively and displays the results in a search folder like
|
||
the other search methods (closes SF #829207).
|
||
|
||
*** Entry Points Have Moved
|
||
|
||
Emacs 21 users must now add `(require 'mh-autoloads)' because the
|
||
entry points (such as `mh-rmail' and `mh-smail') have moved to
|
||
different files which have made the autoloads that come with Emacs
|
||
inaccurate. This change was necessary because the code was reorganized
|
||
to remove circular dependencies, to make the code more stable and
|
||
maintainable, and to reduce the time to load MH-E.
|
||
|
||
*** MH-Folder Keymap Changes
|
||
|
||
There is now a keymap for the printing functions whose prefix is `P'.
|
||
The command `l' (`mh-print-msg') has been replaced with `P l' although
|
||
we suggest you use the new `P p' instead.
|
||
|
||

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

*** MH-Search Keymap Changes
|
||
|
||
These are the changes associated with the new search mode. The command
|
||
`C-c C-c' (`mh-index-do-search') now performs the standard indexed
|
||
search, while `C-c C-p' (`mh-pick-do-search') runs pick as before,
|
||
only better!
|
||
|
||
The `mh-to-field' keybindings were adjusted to be consistent with
|
||
those in the MH-Letter mode.
|
||
|
||
Key 7.4.4 8.0

*** Updates to X-Image-URL
|
||
|
||
Now support the use of `curl' and `fetch' as alternatives to `wget' to
|
||
obtain the image. The display of images are controlled with the
|
||
`mh-show-use-xface-flag' option while the `mh-fetch-x-image-url'
|
||
option controls how the images are fetched.
|
||
|
||
The default of `mh-fetch-x-image-url' has been changed to "Never
|
||
Fetch." Those of you who like the value of "Ask Before Fetching" will
|
||
have to customize this option (closes SF #831278).
|
||
|
||
WARNING: There are security concerns with this feature. Please read
|
||
the documentation for these options carefully before changing the
|
||
default.
|
||
|
||
*** Updates to mh-identity-list
|
||
|
||
Note that the field names found in `mh-identity-list' that refer to
|
||
the fields in `mh-identity-handlers' have changed in an incompatible
|
||
way from 7.4.4. In general, the symbolic names now have a ":" prefix
|
||
to avoid collisions with header fields. Before starting Emacs, edit
|
||
your .emacs and insert ":" before "signature" if you have defined it.
|
||
|
||
You can change your attribution in replies with the new "Attribution
|
||
Verb" field, and you can set your default GPG user ID with the "GPG
|
||
key ID" field.
|
||
|
||
Signatures can now be read from the `mh-signature-file-name' variable,
|
||
or come from a function, in addition to a named file. If you write
|
||
your own function, variables that you can use include
|
||
`mh-signature-separator-regexp', `mh-signature-separator',
|
||
and `mh-signature-separator-p'.
|
||
|
||
The handling of these fields has been moved into a new
|
||
`mh-identity-handlers' option, an alist of fields (strings) and
|
||
handlers (functions). Strings are lowercase. Use ":signature" for
|
||
Signature and ":pgg-default-user-id" for GPG Key ID. The function
|
||
associated with the string "default" is used if no other functions are
|
||
appropriate. For this reason, don't name a header field "Default".
|
||
|
||
If you point your signature at a vCard file with a vcf suffix, then it
|
||
will be incorporated as a vCard body part (closes SF #802723).
|
||
|
||
*** Updates to Speedbar
|
||
|
||
The speedbar now renders the folders with unseen messages in boldface
|
||
which makes them easier to identify (closes SF #623369).
|
||
|
||
*** Updates to mh-msg-is-in-seq
|
||
|
||
Can now specify an alternate message number to `S s'
|
||
(`mh-msg-is-in-seq') with a prefix argument.
|
||
|
||
*** Updates to mh-to-field-choices
|
||
|
||
In MH-Letter mode, you can use the `C-c C-f' (`mh-to-field') prefix to
|
||
go to and insert fields. The fields `Reply-To:', `Mail-Reply-To:',
|
||
`Mail-Followup-To:' can now be created via the `C-r', `C-a' (for
|
||
author), and `C-l' keys respectively. The key for the `From:' field
|
||
has been renamed from `C-r' to `C-m' for consistency with `mail-mode'
|
||
(closes SF #1400139).
|
||
|
||
*** Change Content-Type Renderer on the Fly in MH-Show Buffer
|
||
|
||
This has been implemented by adding the key binding `K e'
|
||
(`mh-display-with-external-viewer'). For inline text/html parts,
|
||
buttons aren't displayed by default. In that case use `K t'
|
||
(`mh-toggle-mime-buttons') to display the button before viewing it
|
||
with an external browser (closes SF #839318).
|
||
|
||
*** MH-E No Longer Calls install-mh
|
||
|
||
The new variant detection code makes use of `mhparam' which assumes
|
||
that your MH environment has already been set up. The code to call
|
||
`install-mh', which could no longer be run anyway, was removed.
|
||
|
||
*** Add :package-version Keyword to Options
|
||
|
||
This `defcustom', `defgroup', and `defface' keyword was introduced in
|
||
Emacs 22.1. MH-E has been extended to take advantage of it. With this
|
||
keyword, you can now use `M-x customize-changed-options' to see what
|
||
options in MH-E have changed between versions of Emacs. In a future
|
||
version of Emacs, you'll be able to see changes between MH-E versions
|
||
as well (closes SF #1452724).
|
||
|
||
*** Render Signature and vCard in Italics
|
||
|
||
This has been implemented. Use `mh-show-signature-face' to customize
|
||
the face used (closes SF #802722).
|
||
|
||
*** Derive mh-letter-mode from mail-mode
|
||
|
||
MH-Letter mode is now derived from `mail-mode'. We were able to delete
|
||
a lot of code. In return, there are a few `mail-mode' commands that
|
||
are available that may or may not be useful and the `mail-mode-hook'
|
||
is run (closes SF #1385571).
|
||
|
||
*** Remove Emacs 20 Support
|
||
|
||
As it turns out, we had already added some code that didn't work on
|
||
Emacs 20. However, now we've formalized it and removed code that was
|
||
present solely for Emacs 20 support (closes SF #1359240).
|
||
|
||
*** Glimpse Support Removed
|
||
|
||
Since glimpse isn't free, we cannot mention it. Glimpse has been
|
||
removed from the option `mh-indexer-choices' (closes SF #831276).
|
||
|
||
*** Use run-hook-with-args
|
||
|
||
We use normal hooks whenever possible and do not use
|
||
`run-hook-with-args' (with one documented exception) (closes SF
|
||
#643702).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
** New Variables in MH-E 8.0
|
||
|
||
*** mh-after-commands-processed-hook
|
||
|
||
Hook run by `x' (`mh-execute-commands') after performing outstanding
|
||
refile and delete requests.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-alias-reloaded-hook
|
||
|
||
Invoked by `mh-alias-reload' after reloading aliases.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-auto-fields-prompt-flag
|
||
|
||
On means to prompt before sending if fields in `mh-auto-fields-list'
|
||
are inserted.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-before-commands-processed-hook
|
||
|
||
Renamed from `mh-folder-updated-hook'. It wasn't clear whether
|
||
`mh-folder-updated-hook' was run before or after the commands were
|
||
executed. We now provide both with clear names.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-compose-forward-as-mime-flag
|
||
|
||
On means that messages are forwarded as attachments (closes SF
|
||
#827203).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-default-folder-for-message-function
|
||
|
||
Function to select a default folder for refiling or `Fcc:'.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-forward-hook
|
||
|
||
Invoked on the forwarded letter by `f' (`mh-forward').
|
||
|
||
*** mh-highlight-citation-style
|
||
|
||
Renamed from `mh-highlight-citation-p' since it wasn't a boolean. The
|
||
new name is also more descriptive.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-identity-handlers
|
||
|
||
Handler functions for fields in `mh-identity-list'.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-insert-signature-hook
|
||
|
||
Renamed from `mh-letter-insert-signature-hook' since most of the other
|
||
hooks do not carry the mode in the prefix and because the new name is
|
||
equally clear.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-invisible-header-fields-default
|
||
|
||
List of hidden header fields. The header fields listed in this option
|
||
are hidden, although you can check off any field that you would like
|
||
to see. Header fields that you would like to hide that aren't listed
|
||
can be added to the `mh-invisible-header-fields' option (closes SF
|
||
#752045).
|
||
|
||
The option `mh-visible-header-fields' has been deleted.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-junk-background
|
||
|
||
If on, spam programs are run in background. This used to be the
|
||
default behavior but this could overwhelm a system if many messages
|
||
were black- or whitelisted at once. The spam programs are now run in
|
||
the foreground, but this option can be used to put them back in the
|
||
background.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-junk-disposition
|
||
|
||
Renamed from `mh-junk-mail-folder' since this variable can accept
|
||
values other than folder names.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-kill-folder-suppress-prompt-hooks
|
||
|
||
Renamed from `mh-kill-folder-suppress-prompt-hook'. By convention,
|
||
abnormal hooks, which this is, either have a -function or -hooks
|
||
suffix.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-mhl-format-file
|
||
|
||
Renamed from `mhl-formfile' to put it in the MH-E namespace and to be
|
||
consistent with other similar options.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-mh-to-mime-hook
|
||
|
||
Renamed from `mh-edit-mhn-hook'. We have a family of `mh-mml-to-mime'
|
||
functions and variables; the older mhn functions and variables were
|
||
renamed to have a consistent `mh-mh-to-mime' prefix.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-mml-method-default
|
||
|
||
Default method to use in security tags.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-new-messages-folders
|
||
|
||
Renamed from `mh-index-new-messages-folders' for clarity.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-path
|
||
|
||
Additional list of directories to search for MH.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-redist-full-contents-flag
|
||
|
||
On means the `dist' command needs entire letter for redistribution.
|
||
This was previously a variable. It's now an option.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-search-mode-hook
|
||
|
||
Renamed from `mh-pick-mode-hook' as part of the
|
||
`mh-index.el'/`mh-pick.el' merge into `mh-search.el'.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-search-program
|
||
|
||
Renamed from `mh-index-program' as part of the
|
||
`mh-index.el'/`mh-pick.el' merge into `mh-search.el'.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-signature-separator-flag
|
||
|
||
On means a signature separator should be inserted. It is not
|
||
recommended that you change this option since various mail user
|
||
agents, including MH-E, use the separator to present the signature
|
||
differently, and to suppress the signature when replying or yanking a
|
||
letter into a draft.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-sortm-args
|
||
|
||
Additional arguments for `sortm'. This was previously an internal
|
||
variable. It's now an user-customizable option.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-speed-update-interval
|
||
|
||
Renamed from `mh-speed-flists-interval' for clarity.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-ticked-messages-folders
|
||
|
||
Renamed from `mh-index-ticked-messages-folders' for clarity.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-variant
|
||
|
||
Specifies the variant used by MH-E. The default setting of this option
|
||
is `Auto-detect' which means that MH-E will automatically choose the
|
||
first of nmh, MH, or GNU mailutils that it finds in the directories
|
||
listed in `mh-path', `mh-sys-path', and `exec-path'. If, for example,
|
||
you have both nmh and mailutils installed and `mh-variant-in-use' was
|
||
initialized to nmh but you want to use mailutils, then you can set
|
||
this option to `mailutils'.
|
||
|
||
When this variable is changed, MH-E resets `mh-progs', `mh-lib',
|
||
`mh-lib-progs', `mh-flists-present-flag', and `mh-variant-in-use'
|
||
accordingly.
|
||
|
||
If you've set these variables in your .emacs, it is strongly suggested
|
||
that you comment them out. The MH detection code has been completely
|
||
rewritten and it is very likely that you no longer to set them and
|
||
their setting may confuse other MH-E settings.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-xemacs-tool-bar-position
|
||
|
||
Renamed from `mh-xemacs-toolbar-position' per GNU Emacs naming conventions.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-xemacs-use-tool-bar-flag
|
||
|
||
Renamed from `mh-xemacs-use-toolbar-flag' per GNU Emacs naming conventions.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-yank-behavior
|
||
|
||
Renamed from `mh-yank-from-start-of-msg' for clarity.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
** Variables Deleted in MH-E 8.0
|
||
|
||
*** mh-alias-system-aliases
|
||
|
||
System definitions should not be a user option.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
Renamed to `mh-mh-to-mime-hook'.
|

Renamed to `mh-search-program'.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-index-ticked-messages-folders
|
||
|
||
Renamed to `mh-ticked-messages-folders'.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-junk-mail-folder
|
||
|
||
Since this variable can accept values other than folder names, it was
|
||
renamed to `mh-junk-disposition' to more accurately reflect the content.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-kill-folder-suppress-prompt-hook
|
||
|
||
Renamed to `mh-kill-folder-suppress-prompt-hooks'.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-letter-insert-signature-hook
|
||
|
||
Renamed to `mh-insert-signature-hook'.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-pick-mode-hook
|
||
|
||
Renamed to `mh-search-mode-hook'.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-show-use-goto-addr-flag
|
||
|
||
This flag was redundant with and inconsistent with
|
||
`goto-address-highlight-p' at the same time, so we removed it. Please
|
||
customize `goto-address-highlight-p' if you wish to turn off email
|
||
address and URL highlighting.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-speed-flists-interval
|
||
|
||
Renamed to `mh-speed-update-interval'.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-speed-run-flists-flag
|
||
|
||
Deleted since setting `mh-speed-flists-interval' to 0 accomplishes the
|
||
same thing.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-visible-header-fields
|
||
|
||
Deleted since it would hide new header fields you might want to see.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-xemacs-toolbar-position
|
||
|
||
Renamed to `mh-xemacs-tool-bar-position'.
|

Renamed to `mh-xemacs-use-tool-bar-flag'.

Renamed to `mh-yank-behavior'.

** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.0
|
||
|
||
*** Face Variable Names Now Follow Current Conventions
|
||
|
||
The -face suffix has been dropped from all face names.
|
||
|
||
*** Swish Fixes
|
||
|
||
Items in swish indexes that aren't mail messages are now handled more
|
||
gracefully.
|
||
|
||
*** SpamAssassin Fixes
|
||
|
||
If you use SpamAssassin, there was an error when you tried to junk
|
||
mail if the option `mh-junk-background' was set. This has been fixed.
|
||
|
||
*** Mairix Support
|
||
|
||
Indexing now compatible with Mairix version 0.12 and later.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-extract-rejected-mail Can't Do MIME (and Other Formats)
|
||
|
||
Now handles qmail and exim bounces (addresses SF #404965).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-rmail Hangs in XEmacs
|
||
|
||
We've determined that MH-E is incompatible with some versions of
|
||
XEmacs (21.5.9-21.5.16). More recent versions work fine. If you think
|
||
our list is too broad, please let us know which version of XEmacs you
|
||
are using (closes SF #644321).
|
||
|
||
*** Completions Offered by mh-refile-message Are Not Sorted
|
||
|
||
This behavior is no longer observed (closes SF #698734).
|
||
|
||
*** Add Message-ID to Outgoing Messages
|
||
|
||
If you replied to a message in your `+outbox', an `In-Reply-To:'
|
||
header field was created that broke threading at the recipient's end.
|
||
We now add a `Message-ID:' to outgoing messages which fixes this
|
||
(closes SF #725425).
|
||
|
||
*** Inconsistent Prompts
|
||
|
||
Emacs changed their defaults in prompts from "Prompt: [value]" to
|
||
"Prompt (default value): ". All MH-E prompts have been updated to
|
||
comply with the new standard and are therefore now consistent
|
||
throughout the application (closes SF #730470, SF #1275933).
|
||
|
||
*** Empty Shell Comments Confuse mh-mhn-directive-present-p
|
||
|
||
If you had a string that matched the regexp "^# $" in your draft, it
|
||
would cause an error. This has been fixed (closes SF #762458).
|
||
|
||
*** Quote Hashes When mhbuild Directives Used
|
||
|
||
A related bug, if you had empty shell comments but inserted your own
|
||
directives, you'd get another error from mhbuild. This has been fixed
|
||
by quoting the hash ("^# $") like this "##" before submitting to
|
||
mhbuild (closes SF #762464).
|
||
|
||
*** Inconsistent Usage in Scan Formatting Variables
|
||
|
||
The variables:
|
||
|
||
mh-note-cur
|
||
mh-note-deleted
|
||
mh-note-dist
|
||
mh-note-forw
|
||
mh-note-refiled
|
||
mh-note-repl
|
||
mh-note-seq
|
||
|
||
used to contain strings. Although only the first character was read,
|
||
the entire string would be inserted which may have caused problems.
|
||
These variables have been converted to character constants so that
|
||
only a single character can be inserted into the scan line (closes SF
|
||
#770772).
|
||
|
||
*** Bad Handling of Aliases That Conflict With Local User Names
|
||
|
||
If a user name existed both locally and in the aliases file, the local
|
||
user would be flashed, but the alias would be used when sending. This
|
||
has been fixed so that the user name that is flashed is the same as
|
||
the name that is sent (closes SF #772595).
|
||
|
||
*** Initialization Fails If ~/Mail Exists
|
||
|
||
MH-E no longer calls `install-mh' so this issue has gone away (closes
|
||
SF #835192).
|
||
|
||
*** Not Re-prompted to Sign After Pass Phrase Typo
|
||
|
||
If there were errors when sending a signed message (like getting the
|
||
pass phrase wrong), the MML markup remained in the draft buffer. The
|
||
draft buffer is now restored if there is an error (closes SF #839303).
|
||
|
||
*** Font-lock Gets Confused in MH-Letter Buffer
|
||
|
||
If a user manually moved the cursor to the end of the header field
|
||
separator line (by mouse click or keyboard navigation) and hit Enter
|
||
to start typing their message, any line in the body with a colon would
|
||
be fontified with a gray background. This has been fixed (closes SF
|
||
#855479).
|
||
|
||
*** RETURN Causes Infinite Loop in mh-letter
|
||
|
||
This behavior is no longer observed (closes SF #887346).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-refile-msg Fails to Suggest Folder for Empty Message
|
||
|
||
If you received a message with an empty body from someone who is
|
||
listed in your aliases file, `o' (`mh-refile-msg') failed to suggest
|
||
the correct folder. This has been fixed (closes SF #917096).
|
||
|
||
*** Missing Headers When Replying to All
|
||
|
||
User needed to edit `replgroupcomps' (closes SF #918194).
|
||
|
||
*** Error Visiting Folder With no Unseen Messages
|
||
|
||
If you visited a folder without unseen messages and the option "flist:
|
||
-noshowzero" is present in your `~/.mh_profile', you'd get an error.
|
||
This has been fixed (closes SF #933954).
|
||
|
||
*** Error Message When Trying to Send Using MH-E
|
||
|
||
This behavior is no longer observed (closes SF #1002103).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-find-path Doesn't Use mhparam
|
||
|
||
MH-E no longer peeks into the MH profile `~/.mh_profile' directly. It
|
||
uses `mhparam' instead (closes SF #1016027).
|
||
|
||
*** rmmproc Refile Complains No Such Message
|
||
|
||
MH-E would get confused about which folder to delete messages from if
|
||
you were refiling and deleting messages at the same time. This has
|
||
been fixed (closes SF #1023959).
|
||
|
||
*** auto-mode-alist Updated
|
||
|
||
MH-E originally updated auto-mode-alist to set the major mode of
|
||
drafts. Now that we explicitly set the mode, there is no reason to do
|
||
this, and this behavior caused problems for people who didn't use MH-E
|
||
who were editing files that looked like MH message files (closes SF
|
||
#1032353).
|
||
|
||
*** ! Doesn't Do Regions
|
||
|
||
Now it does (closes SF #1046330).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-show-unquote-From Fails (read-only buffer)
|
||
|
||
MH-E quotes the `From ' header field that is inserted by MTAs.
|
||
However, it was trying to do this in a read-only buffer. This has been
|
||
fixed (closes SF #1089870).
|
||
|
||
*** Whitespace in pick Expressions
|
||
|
||
The `C-u / s RET' command now works. In addition, you can now add
|
||
whitespace to any of the limiting (/) commands (closes SF #1122655).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-index-previous-folder Does Not Work Correctly
|
||
|
||
If your cursor was on an item below a folder heading and you used
|
||
`M-TAB' (`mh-index-previous-folder'), you would move to the previous
|
||
folder heading. This has been fixed (closes SF #1126188).
|
||
|
||
*** Default Identity Prevents Insertion of Auto Fields
|
||
|
||
Auto insertion of an identity now occurs even when the default
|
||
identity is used (closes SF #1204506).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-compose-forward and Default Message Number
|
||
|
||
`mh-compose-forward' will now default to the sent message in the sent
|
||
folder and the `cur' message in other folders. It also takes ranges of
|
||
messages and can include multiple messages at a time (closes SF
|
||
#1205890).
|
||
|
||
*** Better Handling of Empty cur Sequence
|
||
|
||
If you refiled a message into a folder and then used `F r'
|
||
(`mh-rescan-folder') in that folder, your cursor would be taken to the
|
||
first message. The cursor now stays where it was (closes SF #1207247).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-customize Uses Group mh, Not mh-e
|
||
|
||
The `mh' customization group alias has been deleted to avoid some
|
||
problems that were found (closes SF #1213716).
|
||
|
||
*** "Args out of range" Error in Displaying Message
|
||
|
||
This behavior is no longer observed (closes SF #1227504).
|
||
|
||
*** Front-and-back Truncation in mailto: Rendering
|
||
|
||
This behavior is no longer observed (closes SF #1227510).
|
||
|
||
*** Name of the Draft File in mh-comp.el
|
||
|
||
MH is documented to use the draft file. If you use a draft file for
|
||
something else (like Sylpheed), then use draft folders (closes SF
|
||
#1231483).
|
||
|
||
*** font-lock Error in mh-letter-mode
|
||
|
||
An error in MH-E was introduced as a result of a change in CVS Emacs.
|
||
This has been fixed (closes SF #1241017).
|
||
|
||
*** Msg Display Broken After Displaying Msg with Inline Image
|
||
|
||
Messages with inline images no longer trim certain message header
|
||
fields (closes SF #1306141).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-visit-folder Munges font-lock-keywords
|
||
|
||
MH-E broke highlighting in Gnus buffers. This was actually a problem
|
||
in CVS Emacs 22 and has been fixed there (closes SF #1393879).
|
||
|
||
*** Illegal Filename Chars for W32 Filesystems
|
||
|
||
Windows users who view `X-Image-URL:' images could not cache the
|
||
images since the cached image file names had illegal characters. This
|
||
has been fixed (closes SF #1396499).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-send Doesn't Handle mml Insertions Via mail-user-agent
|
||
|
||
Can now forward messages in Gnus if MH-E is your `mail-user-agent'
|
||
(closes SF #1399307).
|
||
|
||
*** Can't Narrow to Subject with Regexp Chars
|
||
|
||
The command `/ s' could not limit subjects that had special pick
|
||
characters (such as [, *, $, .). This has been fixed (closes SF
|
||
#1432548).
|
||
|
||
*** `/ s' Can Miss the Original Mail
|
||
|
||
The command `/ s' failed to include the message with the "Re:" in the
|
||
Subject. This has been fixed (closes SF #1438369).
|
||
|
||
*** mhparam -components Fails on mailutils
|
||
|
||
This error prevented MH-E from loading when using GNU mailutils. GNU
|
||
mailutils drops the `s' in this argument, so we did too since
|
||
-component still works in nmh and MH (closes SF #1446985).
|
||
|
||
*** `/ s' Still Has Problems With []'d Mail
|
||
|
||
On XEmacs, subjects that had special characters would prevent `/ s'
|
||
from narrowing to the given subject. These characters are now quoted
|
||
correctly in XEmacs (closes SF #1447598).
|
||
|
||
*** Variable mh-send-args Is a String, Not a List
|
||
|
||
This was causing errors when sending under GNU mailutils. The internal
|
||
variable `mh-send-args' is now a list which fixes the problem (closes
|
||
SF #1448604).
|
||
|
||
*** Update Icons
|
||
|
||
Most of the tool bar icons have been replaced by GTK or GNOME 2 icons
|
||
(closes SF #1452715).
|
||
|
||
*** Strip Build Number From emacs-version in X-Mailer
|
||
|
||
This has been done (closes SF #1466481).
|
||
|
||
*** Rename Function and Variable Definers
|
||
|
||
If you had ever shown help for an MH-E symbol that was both a function
|
||
or variable, you might have found that the hyperlink to the file
|
||
brought you to the wrong definition. This has been fixed by renaming
|
||
the macros `mh-defgroup', `mh-defcustom', `mh-defface',
|
||
`mh-defun-compat', and `mh-defmacro-compat' to `defgroup-mh',
|
||
`defcustom-mh', `defface-mh', `defun-mh', `defmacro-mh' respectively
|
||
(closes SF #1472029).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-insert-letter Uses Wrong Default
|
||
|
||
If you had used `C-c TAB' (`mh-insert-letter') to insert a letter into
|
||
your draft, specified a different folder, and chose the default
|
||
message number, you got the wrong message. This has been fixed (closes
|
||
SF #1473729).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Changes in MH-E 7.4.4
|
||
|
||
Version 7.4.4 addresses programmatic issues from the FSF and prepares
|
||
MH-E for inclusion into an impending GNU Emacs release (22.1). There
|
||
are no user-visible changes (unless you are using XEmacs on DOS or
|
||
don't have the cl package installed). Filenames are now unique in
|
||
their first 8 characters (DOS 8.3 requirement). The runtime dependency
|
||
on the cl package has been removed. Desktop saving and restoration
|
||
code moved here from desktop.el.
|
||
|
||
* Changes in MH-E 7.4.3
|
||
|
||
Version 7.4.3 fixes the problem where `mh-identity-list' was not getting
|
||
set from .emacs.
|
||
|
||
* Changes in MH-E 7.4.2
|
||
|
||
Version 7.4.2 fixes the accidental dependence on nmh (closes SF
|
||
#791021).
|
||
|
||
* Changes in MH-E 7.4.1
|
||
|
||
Version 7.4.1 fixes the Makefile so it no longer tries to compile
|
||
mh-unit.el.
|
||
|
||
* Changes in MH-E 7.4
|
||
|
||
Version 7.4 contains many new useful features including arbitrary MH
|
||
range handling, new draft features such as draft form editing, as well
|
||
as sequence propagation and manipulation. We've also fixed bugs and
|
||
added a handful of new variables.
|
||
|
||
** New Features in MH-E 7.4
|
||
|
||
*** Add Arbitrary Ranges to MH-E UI
|
||
|
||
MH-E now handles any legal MH range (such as last:5 or 4 8 10-12)
|
||
wherever you're prompted for a message number or sequence (closes SF
|
||
#728638).
|
||
|
||
*** Remove Prompting in mh-send
|
||
|
||
Brian Reid's original mhe didn't do prompting anywhere but used forms
|
||
instead. While we won't go that far, we eliminated prompting where a
|
||
form is already involved, such as in composing a message.
|
||
|
||
The new customization variable `mh-compose-prompt-flag' can be set to
|
||
t to get the original behavior (closes SF #745622).
|
||
|
||
*** Use TAB to Switch Fields in Header
|
||
|
||
When composing a message, TAB and SHIFT-TAB can be used to move
|
||
quickly between header fields. The new customization variable,
|
||
`mh-compose-skipped-header-fields', contains a list of header fields
|
||
that are skipped and truncated if they are too long (closes SF
|
||
#745627).
|
||
|
||
*** Alias Completion in Composition Buffer
|
||
|
||
Aliases can be completed in the draft with "M-TAB
|
||
(mh-letter-complete)". Or, if the customization variable
|
||
`mh-compose-space-does-completion-flag' is set to t, then a "SPC
|
||
(mh-letter-complete-or-space)" with do the same thing. If
|
||
`mh-alias-flash-on-comma' is non-nil, ", (mh-letter-confirm-address)"
|
||
will show the alias expansion in the minibuffer (closes SF #745634).
|
||
|
||
*** Auto Fields Should be Inserted During Send
|
||
|
||
Fields that were inserted by the multiple personality code when the
|
||
draft was sent now insert the header fields when the draft is composed
|
||
to give you a chance to edit them (closes SF #747890).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-index-tick-messages
|
||
|
||
The command "F ' (mh-index-ticked-messages)" creates a buffer with all
|
||
messages ticked with "' (mh-toggle-tick)" in the folders listed in the
|
||
new customization variable `mh-index-ticked-messages-folders'. Chances
|
||
are that if you set `mh-index-new-messages-folders', you'll want to
|
||
set `mh-index-ticked-messages-folders' accordingly.
|
||
|
||
In addition, a general function, "F q (mh-index-sequenced-messages)"
|
||
has been provided that displays messages in the `mh-unseen-seq' in the
|
||
folders listed `mh-index-new-messages-folders', unless a prefix
|
||
argument is given, in which case you can provide both a list of
|
||
folders and a sequence (closes SF #718833).
|
||
|
||
*** Narrow to Region
|
||
|
||
If there is a region, "/ r (mh-narrow-to-range)" will only consider
|
||
those messages in the region. In addition, there is now a stack of
|
||
folder limits which can be popped with "/ w (mh-widen)". With a prefix
|
||
arg, all the restrictions are popped off of the stack (closes SF
|
||
#732823).
|
||
|
||
*** Narrow to Ticked Sequence
|
||
|
||
The buffer can now be narrowed to ticked messages with "S '
|
||
(mh-narrow-to-tick)" (closes SF #732825).
|
||
|
||
*** Display Multiple Buttons for multipart/alternative
|
||
|
||
A new customizable variable,
|
||
`mh-display-buttons-for-alternatives-flag', was added to display
|
||
buttons for the alternatives. The default value is nil to retain the
|
||
current behavior (closes SF #741288).
|
||
|
||
*** Identity Menu Changes
|
||
|
||
A menu item has been added that inserts custom fields if the To or Cc
|
||
header fields match `mh-auto-fields-list'.
|
||
|
||
** New Variables in MH-E 7.4
|
||
|
||
*** mh-alias-local-users-prefix
|
||
|
||
This string is prepended to the real names of users from the passwd
|
||
file. If nil, use the username string unmodified instead of the real
|
||
name from the gecos field of the passwd file.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-alias-passwd-gecos-comma-separator-flag
|
||
|
||
Non-nil means the gecos field in the passwd file uses comma as a
|
||
separator. Used to construct aliases for users in the passwd file."
|
||
|
||
*** mh-interpret-number-as-range-flag
|
||
|
||
Non-nil means interpret a number as a range. If the variable is
|
||
non-nil, and you use an integer, N, when asked for a range to scan,
|
||
then MH-E uses the range "last:N".
|
||
|
||
*** mh-kill-folder-suppress-prompt-hook
|
||
|
||
This new hook is invoked at the beginning of the `F k
|
||
(mh-kill-folder)' command. It is a list of functions to be called,
|
||
with no arguments, which should return a value of non-nil if you
|
||
should not be asked if you're sure that you want to remove the folder.
|
||
This is useful for folders that are easily regenerated.
|
||
|
||
The default value of `mh-index-p' suppresses the prompt on folders
|
||
generated by an index search.
|
||
|
||
WARNING: Use this hook with care. If there is a bug in your hook which
|
||
returns t on +inbox and you hit `F k' by accident in the +inbox
|
||
buffer, you will not be happy.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-refile-preserves-sequences-flag
|
||
|
||
Non-nil means that sequences are preserved when messages are refiled.
|
||
If this variable is non-nil and a message belonging to a sequence
|
||
other than cur or Previous-Sequence (see mh-profile 5) is refiled then
|
||
it is put in the same sequence in the destination folder. Additional
|
||
sequences that should not to be preserved can be specified by setting
|
||
`mh-unpropagated-sequences' appropriately.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-visible-header-fields
|
||
|
||
Customize this instead of `mh-visible-headers', which is now a defvar.
|
||
This was done to mimic the relationship between
|
||
`mh-invisible-header-fields' and `mh-invisible-fields'.
|
||
|
||
** Variables Deleted in MH-E 7.4
|
||
|
||
*** mh-visible-headers
|
||
|
||
See the paragraph for `mh-visible-header-fields' above.
|
||
|
||
** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.4
|
||
|
||
*** Aliases Constantly Reloaded
|
||
|
||
The system aliases are not loaded as often as they were, so the
|
||
completion speed has been dramatically improved if your passwd file is
|
||
large (closes SF #693859).
|
||
|
||
*** Folders in MH-Index View Not Saved
|
||
|
||
When you perform a search to produce an MH-Index buffer, the folders
|
||
that contain the messages are shown. If the MH-Index buffer was
|
||
deleted, or Emacs was restarted and the corresponding folder
|
||
rescanned, the folder information would be lost. This has been fixed
|
||
by saving the information in a file called ".mhe_index" (closes SF
|
||
#701762).
|
||
|
||
*** Ticking Messages in +mhe-index/new
|
||
|
||
If a new message in a buffer created by "F n" was ticked (with "'"),
|
||
the message would not be added to the tick sequence in the source
|
||
folder. This has been fixed so that any sequence changes in any index
|
||
folder (from within MH-E of course) are now reflected back to the
|
||
corresponding source folder (closes SF #709664).
|
||
|
||
*** Custom Vars Set by a Function
|
||
|
||
The default setting of customization variable `mh-summary-height' is
|
||
now `nil' which means MH-E will change the size dynamically according
|
||
to the size of the frame (closes SF #723267).
|
||
|
||
*** Folder Completion Slow
|
||
|
||
The first folder completion was very slow. This has been fixed (closes
|
||
SF #730426).
|
||
|
||
*** Tick Sequence Persistent When Refiled
|
||
|
||
Sequences are now preserved when messages are refiled (closes SF
|
||
#737128).
|
||
|
||
*** Auto-inserted Header Fields Inconsistent
|
||
|
||
For consistency, all automatically inserted header fields (such as
|
||
X-Mailer and X-Face) are added when the draft is first presented to
|
||
you. This also gives you a chance to edit or delete them if necessary
|
||
(closes SF #745624). Note that we would be distressed if you deleted
|
||
the X-Mailer field.
|
||
|
||
*** Toolbar Spec Error
|
||
|
||
The following message appeared when displaying a message in XEmacs:
|
||
|
||
Signaling: (error "Toolbar spec must be list or nil" )
|
||
|
||
This has been fixed (closes SF #745655).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-index-search Doesn't Find Short Acronyms
|
||
|
||
Swish typically ignores words with fewer than four letters, but will
|
||
still look for acronyms. Unfortunately, MH-E was downcasing the input
|
||
words which defeated this feature. This has been fixed (closes SF
|
||
#755718).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Changes in MH-E 7.3
|
||
|
||
This release includes the new features of an index view of unseen
|
||
messages in all folders, spam software support, relative folder
|
||
specification @ support, marking messages, recipient handling by
|
||
mh-default-folder-list, Face and X-Image-URL header field support, and
|
||
Fcc completion. Function arguments have been unified. Bugs have been
|
||
fixed.
|
||
|
||
** New Features in MH-E 7.3
|
||
|
||
*** Unified Function Arguments
|
||
|
||
Any function with MSG-OR-SEQ in its docstring uses the displayed
|
||
message by default for this argument. However, if a prefix argument is
|
||
provided, then the user is prompted for a message sequence. If the
|
||
variable `transient-mark-mode' is non-nil and the mark is active, then
|
||
the function operates on the messages in the selected region. In a
|
||
program, MSG-OR-SEQ can be a message number, a list of message
|
||
numbers, a region in a cons cell, or a sequence.
|
||
|
||
*** MH-Index View of Unseen Messages
|
||
|
||
Use "F n (mh-index-new-messages)" or Folder -> View New Messages menu
|
||
item to display messages in the `mh-unseen-seq' sequence in folders
|
||
specified by `mh-index-new-messages-folders'. With a prefix argument,
|
||
enter a space-separated list of folders, or nothing to search all
|
||
folders.
|
||
|
||
Like other MH-Index folders, use "v (mh-index-visit-folder)" if you
|
||
wish to visit the original folder with the unseen message. This is
|
||
usually not necessary since the original message is annotated if you
|
||
reply, deleted if you delete the message, or refiled if you refile the
|
||
message (closes SF #701756).
|
||
|
||
*** Spam Software Support
|
||
|
||
MH-E now supports several spam filters including Bogofilter,
|
||
SpamProbe, and SpamAssassin. Spam that is mistakenly considered to be
|
||
good mail can be reclassified as spam with "J b (mh-junk-blacklist)".
|
||
Conversely, good mail that is accidentally considered to be spam can be
|
||
reclassified with "J w (mh-junk-whitelist)" (closes SF #669518).
|
||
|
||
If a message is blacklisted, and `mh-junk-mail-folder' is a string,
|
||
then the message is refiled to that folder. If this variable is nil,
|
||
the message is deleted. If a message is whitelisted, then the message
|
||
is refiled to `mh-inbox'.
|
||
|
||
To change the spam program being used, customize `mh-junk-program'.
|
||
This should only be necessary if you have multiple filters on your
|
||
system and MH-E picked the wrong one. These customization variables
|
||
are found in the new customization group `mh-junk'.
|
||
|
||
The documentation for the following functions describes what setup is
|
||
needed for the different spam fighting programs:
|
||
|
||
- `mh-bogofilter-blacklist'
|
||
- `mh-spamprobe-blacklist'
|
||
- `mh-spamassassin-blacklist'
|
||
|
||
*** Relative Folder Specification @ Supported
|
||
|
||
You can now use the relative folder marker @ in folder names (closes
|
||
SF #666774).
|
||
|
||
*** Marking Messages
|
||
|
||
Messages can now be highlighted with "' (mh-toggle-tick)", Sequence ->
|
||
Toggle Tick Mark menu item or the "Toggle tick mark" button. These
|
||
messages are added to the "tick" sequence, although this sequence can
|
||
be changed in `mh-tick-seq'. The highlighting effect can be modified
|
||
by customizing `mh-folder-tick-face' (closes SF #623367).
|
||
|
||
There is also a new keybinding "/ ' (mh-narrow-to-tick)" and menu item
|
||
Sequence -> Narrow to Tick Sequence to narrow the view to the
|
||
highlighted messages.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-default-folder-list Now Takes Recipients
|
||
|
||
If you wish to file a message based upon the recipient of a message
|
||
(such as a mailing list), you can now indicate that when filling out
|
||
the address in the `mh-default-folder-list' customization variable.
|
||
|
||
*** Face Header Field Supported
|
||
|
||
In addition to the X-Face header field, the Face header field, which
|
||
can display color images, is now supported. As a bonus, the external
|
||
xface-e21 library is no longer required.
|
||
|
||
*** X-Image-URL Support
|
||
|
||
Images specified in X-Image-URL header fields are now supported.
|
||
See the customization variable `mh-fetch-x-image-url' to enable this
|
||
support.
|
||
|
||
*** Fcc Completion
|
||
|
||
Folders in Fcc fields in message drafts can now be completed with
|
||
M-TAB.
|
||
|
||
** New Variables in MH-E 7.3
|
||
|
||
Variables that have been added to MH-E that have not been discussed
|
||
elsewhere are listed here.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-auto-fields-list
|
||
|
||
Alist of addresses for which header lines are automatically inserted.
|
||
When a regular expression matches in the To or cc fields of a message,
|
||
the corresponding header field is automatically inserted in the
|
||
message header. It also allows the automatic setting of an identity
|
||
(using `mh-insert-identity') to set an alternate identity when sending
|
||
messages to a certain person or mailing list.
|
||
|
||
Since this is a more general use of `mh-insert-mail-followup-to-flag'
|
||
and `mh-insert-mail-followup-to-list', these variables have been removed.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-show-xface-face
|
||
|
||
Face for displaying the X-Face image.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-xemacs-toolbar-position
|
||
|
||
This customization variable allows the user to place the toolbar on
|
||
the four edges of the frame.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-xemacs-use-toolbar-flag
|
||
|
||
This customization variable is used to enable or disable the toolbar
|
||
under XEmacs.
|
||
|
||
** Variables Deleted in MH-E 7.3
|
||
|
||
Variables that have been removed from MH-E that have not been
|
||
discussed elsewhere are listed here.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-decode-content-transfer-encoded-message-flag
|
||
|
||
No longer needed since the external program mimencode is no longer
|
||
used.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-index-show-hook
|
||
|
||
This hook was never used, so it was removed.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-tool-bar-reply-3-buttons-flag
|
||
|
||
Obsolete. This functionality is present `mh-tool-bar-folder-buttons'.
|
||
|
||
** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.3
|
||
|
||
*** Can't Refile Message
|
||
|
||
Messages with invalid addresses were causing errors in ali which
|
||
prevented the refiling of messages. The ali error is now shown in the
|
||
"*MH-E Log*" buffer and refiling suggests the last folder used (closes
|
||
SF #680388).
|
||
|
||
*** Empty Body Triggers Duped Header
|
||
|
||
If the body was empty the header would be treated like the body and
|
||
was therefore displayed twice. This has been fixed (closes SF
|
||
#681162).
|
||
|
||
*** mml or mhl Directives Not Always Processed
|
||
|
||
The mml and mhl directives used to create body parts were not
|
||
processed if one re-edited a draft, or if they added the directives
|
||
manually. The directives are now always processed upon sending the
|
||
letter. You may still, of course, use "C-c C-m m (mh-mml-to-mime)" or
|
||
"C-c C-e (mh-edit-mhn)" to manually create the MIME body parts from
|
||
the directives and then send the draft.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-alias-grab-from-field Fails
|
||
|
||
MH-E was adding aliases with angle brackets around the address when
|
||
there wasn't a phrase (usually, the user's name), to go with it. This
|
||
caused ali to fail which caused problems in MH-E. This is probably a
|
||
bug in ali, but MH-E no longer inserts angle brackets around the
|
||
address unless there is a phrase, which avoids the problem (closes SF
|
||
#690216).
|
||
|
||
*** XEmacs Fixes
|
||
|
||
MH-E is now fully supported under XEmacs and compiles without any
|
||
warnings.
|
||
|
||
In particular, the following now work under XEmacs:
|
||
|
||
- X-Face, Face, and X-Image-URL header fields
|
||
- MH-E logo in mode line
|
||
- Emphasis (bold, italics, etc.)
|
||
- Smilies
|
||
- Toolbar
|
||
|
||
*** Indexed Folders Should Respect mh-show-threads-flag
|
||
|
||
Indexed folders are now threaded if `mh-show-threads-flag' is non-nil
|
||
(closes SF #709667).
|
||
|
||
*** Threading Index View Loses Folder Info
|
||
|
||
This has been fixed (closes SF #709672).
|
||
|
||
*** No Undo Information When Re-editing Drafts
|
||
|
||
Undo is turned on in the draft buffer when using "e (mh-edit-again)"
|
||
(closes SF #712777).
|
||
|
||
*** Forwarded base64-encoded Messages Are Incorrectly Displayed
|
||
|
||
This has been fixed (closes SF #681518).
|
||
|
||
*** Append to *MH-E Log* Buffer
|
||
|
||
The last 100 lines of log messages are kept in the *MH-E Log* buffer.
|
||
Previously, the buffer was erased every time it was written (closes SF
|
||
#685476). In addition, many of the MH-E commands now send their output
|
||
into this buffer instead of a plethora of other special-purpose
|
||
buffers.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-inc-folder Complains if No Mail and No Current Message
|
||
|
||
The function `mh-inc-folder' no longer calls `mh-show' if point is not
|
||
on a valid scan line. This keeps `mh-inc-folder' from complaining
|
||
(closes SF #678115).
|
||
|
||
*** Folder Normalization Strips Leading Slash
|
||
|
||
Leading "/" characters in folder names entered by the user were being
|
||
lost. This has been fixed (closes SF #676890).
|
||
|
||
*** Print Header Doesn't Show Message
|
||
|
||
When printing a sequence, the header simply indicated that a sequence,
|
||
but not which one, was being printed and did not show the message
|
||
number. This has been fixed. If more than one message is printed, a
|
||
page of the scan lines is printed and its header indicates the
|
||
sequence or message range. The pages with the actual messages all set
|
||
the header to the folder and message displayed on that page.
|
||
|
||
*** Aliases Constantly Reloaded
|
||
|
||
Empty lists are now handled properly (closes SF #693859).
|
||
|
||
*** Remove RCS Keywords
|
||
|
||
Removed RCS keywords per Emacs conventions (closes SF #680731).
|
||
|
||
*** Replace Mimencode
|
||
|
||
MH-E was enhanced to decode message based on charset and
|
||
Content-Transfer-Encoding. This eliminates the need for the external
|
||
program mimencode (closes SF #674857).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Changes in MH-E 7.2
|
||
|
||
This release includes the new features of filing hints, hierarchical
|
||
file name completion, indexed search and pick integration, unification
|
||
between `mh-visit-folder' and the speedbar, a displayed message
|
||
indicator, buffer name organization, support for mairix indexed
|
||
search, and last but not least, the MH-E logo has been added to the
|
||
mode line. Code that handles sequences and message regions runs
|
||
faster. Bugs have been fixed.
|
||
|
||
** New Features in MH-E 7.2
|
||
|
||
*** Filing Hints
|
||
|
||
When you file a message, MH-E now looks for an alias corresponding to
|
||
the address of the sender and offers that as a default folder (closes
|
||
SF #657096). The new variable `mh-default-folder-prefix' can be used
|
||
to put these folders in a sub-folder. The new variable
|
||
`mh-default-folder-must-exist-flag' means to suppress the suggested
|
||
folder (thereby providing the previous folder used) if the folder
|
||
doesn't already exist. The new variable `mh-default-folder-list' can
|
||
be used to map additional addresses and folders.
|
||
|
||
*** Hierarchical File Name Completion
|
||
|
||
When you completed filenames in the past, you were presented with a
|
||
list of all your folders at all depths in the tree. Now you are
|
||
presented with only one level at a time (closes SF #664821).
|
||
As a result, the variables `mh-auto-folder-collect-flag' and
|
||
`mh-folder-list-change-hook' are obsolete.
|
||
|
||
*** Indexed Search and Pick Integration
|
||
|
||
The indexed and pick searches have been integrated (closes SF
|
||
#664816). Both "F s (mh-search-folder)" and "F i (mh-index-search)"
|
||
use the pick template for forming queries. To submit the query, use
|
||
"C-c C-c (mh-do-search)" which will use the query method you selected.
|
||
If you change your mind while forming the query, you can use "C-c C-i
|
||
(mh-index-do-search)" or "C-c C-p (mh-pick-do-search)" to submit the
|
||
query using the respective method.
|
||
|
||
Second, the results from a pick search are now saved in a sub-folder
|
||
of +mhe-index like an indexed search.
|
||
|
||
Third, `pick' is now a valid choice for `mh-index-program'.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-visit-folder Metamorphosis Continues
|
||
|
||
When visiting a folder from the speedbar, only the unseen messages are
|
||
shown if there are unseen messages. If there aren't any unseen
|
||
messages, all of the messages are shown if there are fewer than
|
||
`mh-large-folder' messages; otherwise, the user is prompted for the
|
||
range of messages to display. The "F v (mh-visit-folder)" command has
|
||
been modified to mimic this behavior. Use a prefix arg to force the
|
||
message range prompt.
|
||
|
||
*** Displayed Message Indicator
|
||
|
||
In graphical Emacs, the message that is shown is marked by a triangle
|
||
in the fringe. In textual Emacs, there is a ">" in the first column
|
||
(closes SF #664824).
|
||
|
||
*** Buffer Name Organization
|
||
|
||
All ephemeral buffer names start with " *mh" while all interesting
|
||
buffers start with "*MH-E ". The "*Folders*", "*Sequences*", and
|
||
"*Recipients*" buffers were therefore renamed to "*MH-E Folders*",
|
||
"*MH-E Sequences*" and "*MH-E Recipients*" respectively (programmers
|
||
should see mh-utils.el for the names of the new constants). Also, the
|
||
output of MH commands is saved in the "*MH-E Log*" buffer.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-index-program
|
||
|
||
Add choices for `mairix' and `pick'.
|
||
|
||
*** Logo Displayed on Mode Line
|
||
|
||
** New Variables in MH-E 7.2
|
||
|
||
The new variables have been discussed elsewhere.
|
||
|
||
** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.2
|
||
|
||
*** mh-decode-content-transfer-encoded-message
|
||
|
||
Messages that had been encoded with base64 were not decoded. This has
|
||
been fixed with this new function (closes SF #674190). As a result,
|
||
the variable `mh-decode-quoted-printable-flag' has been renamed to
|
||
`mh-decode-content-transfer-encoded-message-flag'.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-kill-folder
|
||
|
||
Now restores previous window configuration (closes SF #664828).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-mime-display
|
||
|
||
MH-E was not using the charset defined in the content-type
|
||
header. This meant that mail in a different charset would not
|
||
be properly displayed. This has been fixed (closes SF #655123).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-read-address
|
||
|
||
In XEmacs and Emacs20, this function would always prompt using "To: "
|
||
instead of using the command argument. This has been fixed (closes SF
|
||
#670913).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-rmail
|
||
|
||
Unseen messages are now shown in addition to new ones (closes SF
|
||
#667542).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-scan-msg-overflow-regexp
|
||
|
||
Change the variable so that a space is always maintained in the
|
||
beginning of the scan line.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-swish-execute-search
|
||
|
||
The example configuration file in the docstring didn't show the
|
||
backslash in the FileRules filename. If the example had been used
|
||
literally by the user, no files would be indexed! This has been fixed
|
||
(closes SF #665888).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-thread-refile
|
||
|
||
The "T o (mh-thread-refile)" command did not provide refiling hints
|
||
like `mh-refile-msg'. This has been fixed (closes SF #664829).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-toggle-threads
|
||
|
||
If the threaded view was modified and then toggled, the standard view
|
||
may not have been accurate (as it contained a potentially old first
|
||
message to last message range). This has been fixed (closes SF
|
||
#626117).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-tool-bar-show-set, mh-tool-bar-letter-set, mh-tool-bar-folder-set
|
||
|
||
Clicking the customize and help buttons now deletes the other windows
|
||
in the frame.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-version
|
||
|
||
The "M-x mh-version" command displayed "Aliasfile: aliases". This has
|
||
been fixed (closes SF #664467). See Buffer Name Organization above.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Changes in MH-E 7.1
|
||
|
||
This release includes the new features of multiple identities and
|
||
alias completion. In addition, indexed searching has been revamped.
|
||
Various other features have been added and a few bugs were fixed.
|
||
|
||
** New Features in MH-E 7.1
|
||
|
||
*** Multiple Identities
|
||
|
||
MH-E now supports multiple identities (closes SF #628782). That means
|
||
that you can have different From and Organization header fields (or
|
||
any other header field of your choice) as well as different signatures
|
||
depending on your context. Usually, the contexts are home and work.
|
||
|
||
Add your identities to the variable `mh-identity-list' and set the
|
||
default identity with the variable `mh-identity-default'. Your
|
||
identity can be switched on the fly by using the Identity menu or by
|
||
calling "M-x mh-insert-identity RET".
|
||
|
||
This functionality can be customized within the mh-identity group.
|
||
|
||
*** Alias Completion and Harvesting
|
||
|
||
The contributed file mh-alias.el has been rewritten and incorporated
|
||
into MH-E.
|
||
|
||
By default, aliases are culled from the system files
|
||
"/etc/nmh/MailAliases," "/usr/lib/mh/MailAliases," and "/etc/passwd"
|
||
(see `mh-alias-system-aliases') and from your "AliasFile" MH profile
|
||
component. These aliases are then used for completion in the
|
||
minibuffer when entering addresses. Within the header of the message
|
||
draft, "M-TAB (mh-letter-complete)" is used to do alias completion.
|
||
|
||
The package also provides for alias creation based upon the From
|
||
header field of the current message. Use the lasso button
|
||
(mh-alias-grab-from-field).
|
||
|
||
This functionality can be customized within the mh-alias group.
|
||
|
||
*** Index Folder Updates
|
||
|
||
The results of an index search "F i (mh-index-search)" are now stored
|
||
in a bona fide folder so that you can refile messages and reply to
|
||
messages directly from the result folder. This folder is a sub-folder
|
||
of +mhe-index and the name is based upon the search string (closes SF
|
||
#623321).
|
||
|
||
If a prefix argument is given then the search in the current index
|
||
buffer is redone.
|
||
|
||
The index folder lists the names of the source folders as before.
|
||
However, instead of using RET on the name of the folder to visit the
|
||
folder, use "v (mh-show-index-visit-folder)" anywhere within the
|
||
results to visit that folder narrowed to the results of the search.
|
||
Additional functions have been added to navigate including "TAB
|
||
(mh-index-next-folder)", and "SHIFT-TAB (mh-index-previous-folder)."
|
||
|
||
*** mh-visit-folder Interface Updated
|
||
|
||
A change was made to the prompting of the message range. In general,
|
||
you can use the same format for messages and sequences as you can in
|
||
MH with a single exception: a single number means to scan that many
|
||
messages, rather than scan that message number. This turns out to be
|
||
much more useful than visiting a single message and is consistent with
|
||
Gnus and the MH-E speedbar (closes SF #655891).
|
||
|
||
If mh-visit-folder is called non-interactively and RANGE is nil then
|
||
all messages are displayed. This behavior is now documented and
|
||
provides backwards compatibility.
|
||
|
||
*** Threading Improvements
|
||
|
||
After incorporating new mail into a threaded folder, unseen messages
|
||
can be spread about. Two new functions have been added to make it
|
||
easier to find them: these are "M-n (mh-next-unread-msg)" and "M-p
|
||
(mh-previous-unread-msg)" (closes SF #630328)
|
||
|
||
Two new functions were added to delete and refile threads. They are "T
|
||
d (mh-thread-delete)" and "T o (mh-thread-refile)" respectively
|
||
(closes SF #630493).
|
||
|
||
In addition, the key "k" used to be bound to the function
|
||
`mh-delete-subject': it is now bound to
|
||
`mh-show-delete-subject-or-thread'.
|
||
|
||
New functions to navigate threads include "T u (mh-thread-ancestor)",
|
||
which can jump to the root message of the current thread given an
|
||
optional argument, "T n (mh-thread-next-sibling)", and "T p
|
||
(mh-thread-previous-sibling)"
|
||
|
||
*** Refiling of Messages in Region
|
||
|
||
If mark is active and `transient-mark-mode' is enabled then all the
|
||
messages in the region are refiled.
|
||
|
||
*** vCard Handling
|
||
|
||
If a signature cannot be identified, but there is a vCard attachment,
|
||
then that vCard will be presented as a signature (closes SF #649216).
|
||
|
||
*** New Info Added to mh-version
|
||
|
||
Information about Gnus versions available at both compile time and run
|
||
time has been added.
|
||
|
||
** New Variables in MH-E 7.1
|
||
|
||
The defcustom groups were reorganized. Rather than iterate the
|
||
specific changes here, you are invited to browse the groups with "M-x
|
||
mh-customize RET".
|
||
|
||
*** mh-alias-completion-ignore-case-flag
|
||
|
||
Non-nil means don't consider case significant in MH alias completion.
|
||
This is the default in plain MH, so it is the default here as well. It
|
||
can be useful to set this to t if, for example, you use lowercase
|
||
aliases for people and uppercase for mailing lists.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-alias-expand-aliases-flag
|
||
|
||
Non-nil means to expand aliases entered in the minibuffer. In other
|
||
words, aliases entered in the minibuffer will be expanded to the full
|
||
address in the message draft. By default, this expansion is not
|
||
performed.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-alias-flash-on-comma
|
||
|
||
Specify whether to flash the translation of the alias or warn if there
|
||
isn't a translation of the alias.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-alias-insert-file
|
||
|
||
Filename to use to store new MH-E aliases. This variable can also be a
|
||
list of filenames, in which case MH-E will prompt for one of them. If
|
||
nil, the default, then MH-E will use the first file found in the
|
||
"AliasFile" component of the MH profile.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-alias-insertion-location
|
||
|
||
Specifies where new aliases are entered in alias files. Options are
|
||
sorted alphabetically (the default), at the top of the file or at the
|
||
bottom.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-alias-local-users
|
||
|
||
If t, local users are completed in MH-E To: and Cc: prompts.
|
||
|
||
If you set this variable to a string, it will be executed to generate
|
||
a password file. A value of "ypcat passwd" is helpful if NIS is in
|
||
use.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-alias-system-aliases
|
||
|
||
A list of system files from which to cull aliases. If these files are
|
||
modified, they are automatically reread. This list need include only
|
||
system aliases and the passwd file, since personal alias files listed
|
||
in your "AliasFile" MH profile component are automatically included.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-identity-default
|
||
|
||
Default identity to use when `mh-letter-mode' is called.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-identity-list
|
||
|
||
List holding MH-E identity.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-invisible-header-fields
|
||
|
||
Simple user interface to change `mh-invisible-headers'.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-letter-complete-function
|
||
|
||
Function to call when completing outside of fields specific to
|
||
aliases. By default, it is bound to 'ispell-complete-word.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-show-threads-flag
|
||
|
||
Non-nil means new folders start in threaded mode. Threading large
|
||
number of messages can be time consuming. So if the flag is non-nil
|
||
then threading will be done only if the number of messages being
|
||
threaded is less than `mh-large-folder' (closes SF #646794).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-tool-bar-folder-buttons
|
||
|
||
Buttons to include in MH-E folder/show toolbar.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-tool-bar-letter-buttons
|
||
|
||
Buttons to include in MH-E letter toolbar.
|
||
|
||
** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.1
|
||
|
||
*** mh-get-new-mail
|
||
|
||
Call new function `mh-add-cur-notation' to undo the work of
|
||
`mh-remove-cur-notation' if there was no new mail (closes SF #647681).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-set-cmd-note
|
||
|
||
No longer updates the default `mh-cmd-note' value. This resulted in
|
||
the misplacement of the current mark when the message number width
|
||
changed (closes SF #643701).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Changes in MH-E 7.0
|
||
|
||
This is a major release which includes a lot of new features including
|
||
improved MIME handling, speedbar folder browsing, and indexed
|
||
searching. In this version, MH-E runs under XEmacs, passes checkdoc,
|
||
and compiles clean under all supported platforms.
|
||
|
||
The "passes checkdoc" feature above required changing the name of
|
||
several user-visible variables. It is likely that this affects you.
|
||
Please be sure to see the table at the end of these notes and rename
|
||
your variables accordingly.
|
||
|
||
MH-E has been written mh-e, Mh-e, MH-e and MH-E. We have decided that
|
||
the proper term should be MH-E. Please try to use MH-E in your
|
||
writing.
|
||
|
||
** New Features in MH-E 7.0
|
||
|
||
*** Speedbar
|
||
|
||
There is now support for the speedbar. Try "M-x speedbar" (closes SF
|
||
#503727).
|
||
|
||
Press the middle mouse button on the `+' icons to open a folder,
|
||
middle mouse button on a folder name to open the folder. Folders with
|
||
unseen messages are shown in bold, so this is a handy way to browse
|
||
new messages that you have filed with procmail or slocal.
|
||
|
||
See the new customization variable `mh-large-folder,' which controls
|
||
when the speedbar asks for how many messages to scan when opening a
|
||
large folder and `mh-speed-run-flists-flag' whose default value of t
|
||
means to use the flists command to populate the count of unseen and
|
||
total messages in each folder.
|
||
|
||
*** Indexed Search
|
||
|
||
Interoperability with swish++, swish, glimpse, and namazu has been
|
||
added to enable lightening-fast searches of your mail. If none of
|
||
these are present, grep is used. Try "F i (mh-index-search)".
|
||
|
||
For more information, read the documentation for the functions
|
||
`mh-swish++-execute-search,' `mh-swish-execute-search,'
|
||
`mh-namazu-execute-search,' or `mh-glimpse-execute-search' depending
|
||
on your preferred indexing program to see what kind of setup is needed
|
||
to generate the index.
|
||
|
||
*** Threading
|
||
|
||
Use "T t (mh-toggle-threads)" to view the threads in the folder. Use
|
||
it again to return to a non-threaded view.
|
||
|
||
*** Brief Help
|
||
|
||
Use "? (mh-help)" and "X ? (mh-prefix-help)," where X is a prefix
|
||
character, for a brief synopsis in the minibuffer of frequently used
|
||
commands. In the MH-Letter or MH-Pick buffers, use "C-c ? (mh-help)"
|
||
(closes SF #493740).
|
||
|
||
*** Folder Keymap Shared by Show Buffer
|
||
|
||
You can now use the MH-Folder mode commands from the MH-Show buffer.
|
||
Because of this, the MH-Show buffer is now read-only (closes SF
|
||
#493749 and SF #527946) and you now have to use "M (mh-modify)" to
|
||
edit a message.
|
||
|
||
*** Better Scanning
|
||
|
||
You no longer have to modify your scan format if your folders have
|
||
more than 9999 messages in them. If you've only modified your scan
|
||
format file to allow for the wider message numbers, consider using the
|
||
default behavior of MH-E and simplify your MH-E configuration
|
||
considerably (closes SF #635791).
|
||
|
||
To do this, you may have to remove your modifications of
|
||
`mh-scan.*-regexp' and `mh-cmd-note' and your customization of
|
||
`mh-scan-format-file'.
|
||
|
||
You may still want the updated format files for running MH commands
|
||
outside of MH-E; the default of `mh-scan-format-file' will cause them
|
||
to be ignored.
|
||
|
||
If you prefer fixed-width message numbers, set the new customization
|
||
variable to nil , set this variable to
|
||
nil and call `mh-set-cmd-note' with the width specified by the scan format in
|
||
`mh-scan-format-file'. For example, the default width is 4, so you would use
|
||
"(mh-set-cmd-note 4)" if `mh-scan-format-file' were nil.
|
||
|
||
*** X-Face
|
||
|
||
MH-E now displays the content of the X-Face header field in the From
|
||
field. When sending a message, an X-Face field is appended to the
|
||
header if it doesn't already exist and "~/.face" is present. See the
|
||
new customization variables `mh-show-use-xface-flag' and `mh-x-face-file'
|
||
(closes SF #480770).
|
||
|
||
MH-E depends on the external x-face package formerly found in
|
||
http://www.jpl.org/pub/elisp/ to do this. The `uncompface' binary is
|
||
also required to be in the execute PATH. It was formerly obtainable from:
|
||
http://freshmeat.net/redir/compface/1439/url_tgz/compface-1.4.tar.gz.
|
||
|
||
It has also been observed that if you don't see the faces, you might
|
||
have to do this (for unknown reasons):
|
||
|
||
mv /usr/local/include/compface.h /usr/include/
|
||
|
||
*** Graphical Smileys
|
||
|
||
Smiley's are now converted to cute little images. See the new
|
||
customization variable `mh-graphical-smileys-flag.'
|
||
|
||
*** Text Emphasis
|
||
|
||
ASCII formatting is now converted to the appropriate font. For
|
||
example, _underline_ is underlined, *bold* appears in bold, /italic/
|
||
appears in italic, etc. See `gnus-emphasis-alist' for the whole list.
|
||
See the new customization variables `mh-decode-mime' and
|
||
`mh-graphical-emphasis-flag.'
|
||
|
||
*** Attachment Handling
|
||
|
||
Inline attachments are now displayed. Regular attachments appear as
|
||
buttons in show buffer. Use "K TAB (mh-next-button)" or "K SHIFT-TAB
|
||
(mh-prev-button)" to cycle through these buttons. Use "K v
|
||
(mh-folder-toggle-mime-part)" to view, "K o
|
||
(mh-folder-save-mime-part)" to save one part or "K-a
|
||
(mh-save-mime-parts)" to save all parts, or "K i
|
||
(mh-folder-inline-mime-part)" to view the attachment inline.
|
||
|
||
See the new customization variable `mh-decode-mime' for additional
|
||
information. Other customization variables that affect this new feature
|
||
include `mh-store-mime-parts-default-directory' and
|
||
`mh-display-buttons-for-inline-parts-flag'.
|
||
|
||
HTML documents can be viewed inline if Gnus v5.10 and w3 or w3m lisp
|
||
packages are present. Set the customization variable
|
||
`mm-text-html-renderer' accordingly (closes SF #453352).
|
||
|
||
*** Quoted-printable Handling
|
||
|
||
Quoted-printable body parts are now decoded.
|
||
|
||
*** More Choices for `mh-yank-from-start-of-msg'
|
||
|
||
Historically, if this variable was t, the entire message, with full
|
||
headers would be included and every line would begin with
|
||
`mh-ins-buf-prefix.' This usage is deprecated in favor of the setting
|
||
`supercite' below. The default has been changed to `attribution.' The
|
||
following symbols are now understood:
|
||
|
||
`body': yank the message minus the header.
|
||
|
||
`supercite': include the entire message, with full headers. This also
|
||
causes the invocation of `sc-cite-original' without the setting of
|
||
`mail-citation-hook', now deprecated practice.
|
||
|
||
`autosupercite': do as for `supercite' automatically when show buffer
|
||
matches the message being replied-to.
|
||
|
||
`attribution': yank the message minus the header and add a simple
|
||
attribution line at the top.
|
||
|
||
`autoattrib': do as for `attribution' automatically when show buffer
|
||
matches the message being replied-to.
|
||
|
||
There is a new customization variable called
|
||
`mh-extract-from-attribution-verb' which is used for attribution which
|
||
provides a method for setting a different language.
|
||
|
||
*** Use Gnus mml Instead of mhn
|
||
|
||
When inserting attachments into a message draft, Gnus mml directives
|
||
are now used instead of mhn directives. One beneficial side-effect of
|
||
this is that attachments can now appear inline as well as separate.
|
||
|
||
The new customization variable `mh-compose-insertion' controls whether
|
||
Gnus or mhn is used to insert MIME message directives in messages
|
||
(default: 'gnus, if the mml library exists).
|
||
|
||
*** Content-Type Now Obtained Automatically
|
||
|
||
The value of the Content-Type no longer needs to be entered by the
|
||
user.
|
||
|
||
*** Attachments Automatically Included Upon Send
|
||
|
||
You no longer have to run "C-c C-e (mh-edit-mhn)" before sending a
|
||
message with attachments--this is done automatically when you send the
|
||
message with "C-c C-c (mh-send-letter)". There is, however, a new key
|
||
binding "C-c C-m m (mh-mml-to-mime)" which is analogous to "C-c C-e
|
||
(mh-edit-mhn)".
|
||
|
||
*** GPG Handling
|
||
|
||
Messages that have been signed or encrypted with GPG are verified and
|
||
decrypted automatically. To sign or encrypt a message, use "C-c RET
|
||
C-s (mh-mml-secure-message-sign-pgpmime)" and "C-c C-m C-e
|
||
(mh-mml-secure-message-encrypt-pgpmime)." You need Gnus version 5.10
|
||
for this feature. These functions are provided by the pgg.el package.
|
||
|
||
Users report "flashing" with the pgg.el package and prefer the gpg.el
|
||
package instead. To use gpg.el instead of the pgg.el package you need:
|
||
|
||
(setq mml2015-use 'gpg)
|
||
|
||
To mimic automatic encryption in gpg.el, use:
|
||
|
||
(setq mm-verify-option 'always)
|
||
(setq mm-decrypt-option 'always)
|
||
|
||
The venerable mailcrypt package is also an option. However, now that
|
||
show buffers are read-only, mailcrypt version 3.5.6 and older fail
|
||
when they attempt to decrypt the contents.
|
||
|
||
*** Mail-Followup-To Header Field
|
||
|
||
Support for this controversial field has been added because nmh
|
||
supports it (closes SF #627035). If you want to add it to outgoing
|
||
mail for selected mailing lists, add those mailing lists to the new
|
||
customization variable `mh-insert-mail-followup-to-list.' If you think
|
||
this field is evil, set the new customization variable
|
||
`mh-insert-mail-followup-to-flag' to nil.
|
||
|
||
*** Gnus Issues
|
||
|
||
If you update Gnus, you must recompile MH-E. Note that if you are
|
||
running the stock version of MH-E that comes with Emacs or the MH-E
|
||
package on a Debian GNU/Linux, this is done for you.
|
||
|
||
** New Variables in MH-E 7.0
|
||
|
||
New customization variables not mentioned earlier include:
|
||
|
||
*** mh-letter-insert-signature-hook
|
||
|
||
Invoked at the beginning of the "C-c C-s (mh-insert-signature)"
|
||
command. Can be used to determine which signature file to use based on
|
||
message content. On return, if `mh-signature-file-name' is non-nil
|
||
that file will be inserted at the current point in the buffer.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-show-maximum-size
|
||
|
||
Maximum size of message (in bytes) to display automatically. Provides
|
||
an opportunity to skip over large messages which may be slow to load.
|
||
Use a value of 0 to display all messages automatically regardless of
|
||
size (closes SF #488696).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-tool-bar-reply-3-buttons-flag
|
||
|
||
Non-nil means use three buttons for reply commands in tool-bar. If you
|
||
have room on your tool-bar because you are using a large font, you may
|
||
set this variable to expand the single reply button into three buttons
|
||
that won't lead to minibuffer prompt about who to reply to.
|
||
|
||
** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.0
|
||
|
||
*** mh-delete-msg, mh-refile-msg, mh-undo
|
||
|
||
Mandrake Linux includes XEmacs initialization code that binds
|
||
`transient-mark-mode' which causes problems in MH-E. These problems
|
||
have been fixed (closes SF #541915).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-edit-again
|
||
|
||
This would sometimes yield a read-only buffer. This has been fixed
|
||
(closes SF #624283 and SF #625538).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-forward
|
||
|
||
When using nmh, always specify -mime so as to preserve the original
|
||
message(s).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-inc-folder
|
||
|
||
If you had narrowed to a sequence and then incorporated new mail,
|
||
those new messages would not be present in your +inbox when you
|
||
widened. This has been fixed (closes SF #489430, SF #489437, SF
|
||
#629233).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-insert-letter
|
||
|
||
No longer uses mhl to include a message as this mangled the header and
|
||
gave supercite fits (closes SF #629153).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-letter-mode
|
||
|
||
"M-q (fill-paragraph)" now fills quoted paragraphs (for example,
|
||
starting with "> ") correctly (closes SF #489927).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-next-undeleted-msg, mh-previous-undeleted-msg
|
||
|
||
If there are no more undeleted messages the point remains at its
|
||
original position and a message is produced (closes SF #494304).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-pick-mode
|
||
|
||
Now calls `mh-pick-mode-hook' as documented.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-put-msg-in-seq
|
||
|
||
Now puts all messages in region in sequence (closes SF #630324).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-refile-msg, mh-write-msg-to-file
|
||
|
||
These functions stomped on the variables that held the name of the
|
||
last file and folder respectively for the other function. This has
|
||
been fixed so that the last folder or file name is preserved (closes
|
||
SF #580772).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-region-to-sequence
|
||
|
||
If the region in MH-Folder was set with "C-x h (mark-whole-buffer)",
|
||
you couldn't perform operations on all of the messages as you would
|
||
expect. This has been fixed (closes SF #621632).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-reply
|
||
|
||
Performing an undo the first thing after replying would blank out the
|
||
entire draft. Now just the insertion of the yanked message is undone
|
||
leaving the header and signature intact for additional editing (closes
|
||
SF #623693).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-show-mode
|
||
|
||
Now calls `mh-show-mode-hook' as documented (closes SF #627222).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-subject-thread-to-sequence
|
||
|
||
Make 'subject sequence a real one, exported to MH. This means you can,
|
||
for example, mh-forward it. But it also shows up with a mark in the
|
||
scan output (closes SF #489445).
|
||
|
||
*** Other Bug Fixes
|
||
|
||
The following bugs have also been closed:
|
||
|
||
SF #495450: Folder buffer read-only after inc
|
||
SF #489706: mh-page-msg bombs out
|
||
SF #580772: mh-last-destination is overloaded
|
||
|
||
*** Variables renamed to conform with Emacs coding conventions
|
||
|
||
The coding conventions require that boolean variables end in -flag.
|
||
The following two tables show which variables were affected (closes SF
|
||
#627015).

* Changes in mh-e 6.1
|
||
|
||
This is a minor release which includes a few bug fixes. The
|
||
distribution now includes the ChangeLog.
|
||
|
||
** New Features in mh-e 6.1
|
||
|
||
*** Fontification
|
||
|
||
Unseen messages now displayed in bold.
|
||
|
||
*** Viewing folders and sequences
|
||
|
||
The folder and sequence listings that "F l (mh-list-folders)" and "S l
|
||
(mh-list-sequences)" create are now displayed in view mode.
|
||
|
||
** Bug Fixes in mh-e 6.1
|
||
|
||
*** mh-folder-unseen-seq-name
|
||
|
||
Byte compilation failed when initializing this variable when the
|
||
user's MH environment was not set up. This has been fixed (closes
|
||
Debian #140232 and Debian #140817).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-forward
|
||
|
||
When forwarding a sequence, the mode of the draft would not be set to
|
||
MH-Letter correctly. This has been fixed (closes SF #489448).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-insert-prefix-string
|
||
|
||
Fixed to work under XEmacs. Thanks to Will Partain
|
||
<partain at dcs.gla.ac.uk>.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-quit
|
||
|
||
mh-quit now cleans up the buffers named `mh-temp-buffer,'
|
||
'mh-temp-folders-buffer' and 'mh-temp-sequences-buffer.'
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Changes in mh-e 6.0
|
||
|
||
mh-e is now maintained at SourceForge (see
|
||
https://mh-e.sourceforge.io/). This is where you need to go to obtain
|
||
new versions of mh-e, report bugs and receive support.
|
||
|
||
The maintainers have moved much of their personal configurations into
|
||
the codebase, so you may find that you may be able to reduce your mh-e
|
||
customizations as well.
|
||
|
||
There are several incompatibilities in this version from older
|
||
versions. Please read the following notes carefully for details. Pay
|
||
particular attention to the key binding changes in the MH-Folder
|
||
section. If you have customized your scan format, you will want to
|
||
read about the new variable `mh-scan-format-file'.
|
||
|
||
The manual could not be updated in time for this release. It will be
|
||
updated in the near future. If the Preface in your manual indicates
|
||
the older version (version 1.3, for mh-e version 5.0.2), please check
|
||
the following page occasionally for an update:
|
||
|
||
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=13357
|
||
|
||
|
||
** New Features in mh-e 6.0
|
||
|
||
*** Customization
|
||
|
||
mh-e now uses the customize feature of Emacs. Use "M-x customize-group
|
||
mh RET" to customize mh-e.
|
||
|
||
*** Menus
|
||
|
||
All mh-e modes now provide menus that contain most mh-e functions.
|
||
|
||
*** Toolbars
|
||
|
||
All mh-e modes now have toolbar buttons for oft-used functions (Emacs 21).
|
||
|
||
*** Fontification
|
||
|
||
All mh-e buffers now have font-lock keywords. To use, either call
|
||
(turn-on-font-lock) from the appropriate hook, or set
|
||
`global-font-lock-mode' to t. To customize, use "M-x
|
||
customize-apropos-faces ^mh RET".
|
||
|
||
If you have customized your scan lines, you will have to update your
|
||
scan regexps. The existing regexps were changed to extract a match so
|
||
you will have to add appropriate grouping constructs to take advantage
|
||
of the fontification. Your old settings will continue to work, but the
|
||
folder will not be fontified. For example:
|
||
|
||
(setq mh-good-msg-regexp "^\\(.....\\)[^D^]")
|
||
|
||
You will most likely have to update the new variable
|
||
`mh-scan-subject-regexp' as well. There is another new variable
|
||
`mh-scan-date-regexp' which you may also find useful. Run "M-x apropos
|
||
mh.*regexp" for a complete list.
|
||
|
||
*** mail-user-agent support
|
||
|
||
You can now set `mail-user-agent' to `mh-e-user-agent' so that packages
|
||
that need to send mail will use mh-e (closes SF #406883, SF #470024).
|
||
|
||
*** replgroupcomps support
|
||
|
||
If you reply to `cc' or `all' and you use nmh, the nmh repl option
|
||
-group will be used. This means that the file `replgroupcomps' will be
|
||
used. If you have customized `replcomps', you will definitely want to
|
||
either copy `$NMH_LIB/replgroupcomps' to your mail directory and modify
|
||
it the same way that you modified your `replcomps' file, or simply
|
||
copy your `replcomps' file to `replgroupcomps'.
|
||
|
||
*** MH-Folder mode
|
||
|
||
The variable `mh-summary-height' used to have a default of 4. It now
|
||
varies from 4 to 10 depending on the height of the frame.
|
||
|
||
Clicking the mouse on a message shows that message.
|
||
|
||
Delete, refile and undo now operate on a region (but only if
|
||
`transient-mark-mode' is non-nil).
|
||
|
||
SPC (mh-page-msg) now displays the message if it is not already
|
||
visible. If the bottom of a message is showing, SPC (mh-page-msg)
|
||
moves to the next message (respecting the direction you are moving
|
||
through the folder).
|
||
|
||
The threading commands "T u (mh-next-unseen-subject-thread)",
|
||
"T t (mh-toggle-subject-thread)", "T s (mh-narrow-to-subject-thread)",
|
||
and "T k (mh-delete-subject-thread)" have been added. These functions
|
||
do not offer threading in the true sense of the word, but do allow
|
||
some manipulation by subject.
|
||
|
||
Major, major keymap changes. This was done to free up movement
|
||
commands in the buffer, and to provide for additional features, such
|
||
as the threading commands. At the same time, better and more
|
||
consistent mnemonics were realized that should make it easier to
|
||
remember key bindings.
|
||
|
||
Added new sub-keymaps for folder commands, sequence commands,
|
||
extraction commands, and digest commands which begin with F, S,
|
||
X, and D, respectively. These sub-keymaps allowed some consistency
|
||
(e.g., especially with l(ist) and k(ill)).
|
||
|
||
Here are the actual changes and rationale:
|
||
|
||
Old New Rationale
|
||
|
||
e - Deleted. Already have x. Now used by mh-edit-again.
|
||
j - Deleted. Already have g.
|
||
|
||
M-a e Better mnemonic. Matches rmail. Frees movement command.
|
||
M-e E Better mnemonic. Consistent with e.
|
||
- S Why not? mh-sort-folder.
|
||
|
||
M-f Fv Frees movement command
|
||
M-f Ff Alias (keep?)
|
||
M-f Fo Alias (keep?)
|
||
M-k Fk No reason but to keep with folder commands
|
||
M-l Fl No reason but to keep with folder commands
|
||
M-p Fp No reason but to keep with folder commands
|
||
M-r Fr Frees movement command
|
||
M-s Fs No reason but to keep with folder commands
|
||
M-u Fu No reason but to keep with folder commands
|
||
|
||
M-% Sd Better mnemonic
|
||
M-# Sk Better mnemonic
|
||
M-q Sl Better mnemonic
|
||
C-xn Sn Frees up standard key binding
|
||
% Sp Better mnemonic for putting a message in a sequence
|
||
? Ss Shows sequences that message is in
|
||
C-xw Sw Frees up standard key binding
|
||
|
||
M-n Xs Better mnemonic (extract shar)
|
||
M-n Xu Better mnemonic (extract uuencode)
|
||
|
||
M-SPC D SPC Frees mark command
|
||
M-\177 D \177 No reason but to keep with digest commands
|
||
M-b Db Frees movement command
|
||
|
||
As the number of variables increases, it is becoming important to
|
||
organize the mh-e namespace. Several variables having to do with the
|
||
format of scan lines were renamed, as follows:
|
||
|
||
Old New
|
||
|
||
mh-good-msg-regexp mh-scan-good-msg-regexp
|
||
mh-deleted-msg-regexp mh-scan-deleted-msg-regexp
|
||
mh-refiled-msg-regexp mh-scan-refiled-msg-regexp
|
||
mh-valid-scan-line mh-scan-valid-regexp
|
||
mh-cur-scan-msg-regexp mh-scan-cur-msg-number-regexp
|
||
- mh-scan-cur-msg-regexp
|
||
- mh-scan-rcpt-regexp
|
||
- mh-scan-format-regexp
|
||
mh-msg-number-regexp mh-scan-msg-number-regexp
|
||
mh-msg-search-regexp mh-scan-msg-search-regexp
|
||
|
||
*** MH-Show mode
|
||
|
||
While the MIME support is not complete, quoted-printable body parts
|
||
are now decoded.
|
||
|
||
Some MTAs quote From at the beginning of the line with a ">". The ">"
|
||
is now removed in the display, but not on disk.
|
||
|
||
*** MH-Letter mode
|
||
|
||
New function "C-c C-o (mh-split-line)" splits lines in a draft
|
||
preserving the fill prefix and indentation. This is useful when
|
||
responding to several sentences in a single paragraph separately.
|
||
|
||
"M-q (fill-paragraph)" can now be used on the message that is being
|
||
replied to. The fill prefix such as "> " is preserved.
|
||
|
||
You no longer have to run "C-c C-e (mh-edit-mhn)" manually as this is
|
||
now done automatically when the message is sent.
|
||
|
||
The X-Mailer header field is now added to messages as they are sent.
|
||
|
||
"C-c C-m C-i (mh-mhn-compose-insertion)" now makes a pretty good guess
|
||
at the type of file using the `file' command and no longer asks the
|
||
user for the media type. If the necessary version of `file' is not
|
||
available, the user is asked for the media type as before; however,
|
||
the list of media types is now taken from the system mailcap if
|
||
available. Failing that, the built-in list of types has been
|
||
supplemented so in most cases the type you need should be present
|
||
(closes SF #406883, #441179).
|
||
|
||
** New Variables in mh-e 6.0
|
||
|
||
New variables not mentioned earlier include:
|
||
|
||
*** mh-insert-x-mailer-p
|
||
|
||
Default value of t means that an X-Mailer header field should be
|
||
added.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-reply-show-message-p
|
||
|
||
The setting of this variable determines whether the MH show-buffer is
|
||
displayed with the current message when using mh-reply without a prefix
|
||
argument. Set it to nil if you already include the message
|
||
automatically in your draft using "repl: -filter repl.filter" in
|
||
"~/.mh_profile."
|
||
|
||
*** mh-scan-format-file
|
||
|
||
Specifies the format file to pass to the scan program. If t, the
|
||
format string will be taken from the either `mh-scan-format-mh' or
|
||
`mh-scan-format-nmh' depending on whether MH or nmh is in use. If nil,
|
||
the default scan output will be used.
|
||
|
||
If you customize the scan format, you may need to modify a few
|
||
variables containing regexps that mh-e uses to identify specific
|
||
portions of the output. Use `M-x apropos RET mh-scan.*regexp' to
|
||
obtain a list of these variables.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-scan-format-mh
|
||
|
||
Scan format string for MH, provided to the scan program via the
|
||
-format arg. This format is identical to the default except that
|
||
additional hints for fontification have been added to the sixth
|
||
column.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-scan-format-nmh
|
||
|
||
Scan format string for nmh, provided to the scan program via the
|
||
-format arg. This format is identical to the default except that
|
||
additional hints for fontification have been added to the sixth
|
||
column.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-show-use-goto-addr
|
||
|
||
Non-nil means URLs and e-mail addresses are highlighted using
|
||
goto-addr in MH-Show buffer.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-letter-fill-column
|
||
|
||
Fill column to use in `mh-letter-mode'. This is useful to make the
|
||
lines a bit shorter to allow for quoting in replies.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-folder-updated-hook
|
||
|
||
Invoked when the actions in a folder (such as moves and deletes) are
|
||
performed. Variables that are useful in this hook include
|
||
`mh-delete-list' and `mh-refile-list' which can be used to see which
|
||
changes are being made to current folder, `mh-current-folder'.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-unseen-updated-hook
|
||
|
||
Invoked after the unseen sequence has been updated. The variable
|
||
`mh-seen-list' can be used to obtain the list of messages which will
|
||
be removed from the unseen sequence
|
||
|
||
** Bug Fixes in mh-e 6.0
|
||
|
||
*** mh-edit-again and mh-extract-rejected-mail
|
||
|
||
Now insert a header separator (--------) which packages such as
|
||
mailcrypt expect.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-find-progs
|
||
|
||
Now uses `mhparam' to set `mh-lib-progs' and `mh-lib'. Added more
|
||
directories to `mh-progs' so that mh-e can autoconfigure in more
|
||
environments. Chances are that you no longer have to set these
|
||
variables, and if you do, you will only have to set `mh-progs'.
|
||
Unless, of course, you are using an ancient version of MH that doesn't
|
||
have `mhparam'.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-folder-mode-map
|
||
|
||
The DEL/<delete>/<backspace> change in Emacs 21 broke
|
||
`mh-previous-page'. This has been fixed (closes SF #228907).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-forward
|
||
|
||
If you had "forw: -mime" to your .mh_profile, forwarding a message
|
||
resulted in:
|
||
|
||
Search failed: "^------- Forwarded Message"
|
||
|
||
In addition, the Subject field was not filled in. This has been fixed
|
||
(closes SF #223603).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-kill-folder
|
||
|
||
The user is now always prompted before this action; the variable
|
||
`mh-do-not-confirm' is no longer consulted here. Therefore users who
|
||
wanted to set `mh-do-not-confirm' but didn't because of the
|
||
`mh-kill-folder' dependency may now do so.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-make-folder-mode-line
|
||
|
||
Properly deals with folders that do not have any lines in them. Prints
|
||
"no msgs" instead of "0 msgs". Does not try to print a range when
|
||
there are no messages.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-mhn-compose-insertion
|
||
|
||
Now gets the MIME type automatically (assuming the local file command
|
||
supports the -i and -b options). If this use of the file command is
|
||
not supported, the list of MIME types has been expanded to use the
|
||
system's mailcap file.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-nmh-p
|
||
|
||
This variable (t when nmh is in use rather than MH) assumed that the
|
||
string "nmh" is in `mh-lib-progs' or `mh-lib'. This has been fixed
|
||
(closes SF #441776).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-refile-msg
|
||
|
||
No longer lets you specify an empty folder (closes SF #476824).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-regenerate-headers
|
||
|
||
Now suppresses "scan: bad message list" messages.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-print-msg
|
||
|
||
This function was looking for `mhl' in the wrong place on nmh on
|
||
Redhat LINUX 7.0. This has been fixed (closes SF #481128).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-show
|
||
|
||
Now updates `cur' sequence after a message is shown (closes SF #481772).
|
||
|
||
*** mh-showing
|
||
|
||
Renamed variable and function to `mh-showing-mode' to conform with
|
||
minor mode conventions. Added optional arg to function so it would
|
||
behave like a normal minor mode: no or nil arg toggles mode, 0 arg
|
||
turns off, non-nil turns on. This fixed the error that occurred when
|
||
`desktop-create-buffer' recreated mh-e buffers because it was calling
|
||
`mh-showing' with an arg.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-version
|
||
|
||
Fixed for nmh. Now displays mh-e version correctly. Cleaned up output
|
||
and display `mh-progs', etc.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-widen
|
||
|
||
Now attempts to stay on the same message number (closes SF #480922).
|
||
|
||
No longer wipes out pending deletes and refiles without warning
|
||
(closes SF #481036).
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Changes in mh-e 5.0.2
|
||
|
||
This version contains additional minor changes to integrate it with
|
||
reporter.el (requires reporter.el version 3.1c or later) and Emacs
|
||
19.30. The mh-goto-msg function is much faster, which also speeds up
|
||
several other operations.
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Changes in mh-e 5.0.1
|
||
|
||
This version contains minor changes from mh-e 5.0 to integrate it with
|
||
Emacs 19.29.
|
||
|
||
|
||
* User-visible changes to mh-e 5.0
|
||
|
||
Note: This being a major release, there are many internal changes.
|
||
This document lists only changes to the external interfaces of mh-e.
|
||
|
||
When upgrading, you must either explicitly reload the new versions of
|
||
all mh-e files that are already loaded or restart your Emacs.
|
||
|
||
|
||
** Major Changes and New Features in mh-e 5.0
|
||
|
||
The emphasis for this release has been on consistency and
|
||
documentation. Many documentation strings were enhanced. Documentation
|
||
strings were changed to comments for internal functions and variables.
|
||
|
||
*** There is now proper documentation in the form of a 75-page users
|
||
manual. The Texinfo source is mh-e.texi; the formatted Info document
|
||
is mh-e.info.
|
||
|
||
*** There is a new command `mh-update-sequences', which updates MH's
|
||
idea of what messages are in the Unseen sequence and what is the
|
||
current folder and message. `mh-quit' calls it. While
|
||
`mh-execute-commands' has always done this updating as a side effect,
|
||
the new function is faster.
|
||
|
||
*** The MH profile entry "Inbox:" is supported.
|
||
|
||
*** If the show-buffer is modified, the user is queried before mh-e
|
||
reuses the buffer to show a different message. This buffer is also
|
||
auto-saved and backed up correctly.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-store-buffer' is significantly more robust. It now handles
|
||
messages created by a wide variety of packaging software. The status
|
||
message for `uudecode' includes the name of the file created. An error
|
||
is signaled if the subprocess exits with a non-zero status.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-search-folder' behaves predictably, adding messages found to
|
||
the `search' sequence. It correctly handles the case of no messages
|
||
found.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-burst-digest' (`M-b') now only rescans the part of the folder
|
||
affected by the burst. It is now much faster in a large folder.
|
||
|
||
|
||
** New Hooks and Customization Variables in mh-e 5.0
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-default-folder-for-message-function': new name for the old
|
||
`mh-msg-folder-hook', which wasn't a hook. The old name was confusing,
|
||
leading people to think they could use `add-hook' with it, when
|
||
actually `setq' is the correct way.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-sortm-args': When this variable is used has changed. Now
|
||
`mh-sortm-args' is passed if there IS a prefix argument to
|
||
`mh-sort-folder'. The assumption is that for arguments you normally
|
||
want, you would specify them in an MH profile entry.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-mhn-args': new hook, a list of additional arguments to pass to
|
||
the `mhn' program if `mh-edit-mhn' is given a prefix argument.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-edit-mhn-hook': new hook called by `mh-edit-mhn', the function
|
||
that formats MIME messages.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-folder-list-change-hook': new hook, called whenever the cached
|
||
list of folders, `mh-folder-list', is changed.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-find-path-hook': new hook, called when entering mh-e.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-repl-formfile': new variable, used to change the format file
|
||
used by `mh-reply' from the default of "replcomps".
|
||
|
||
*** New variables to customize the scan format and notating:
|
||
`mh-note-deleted', `mh-note-refiled', `mh-note-seq', `mh-note-cur',
|
||
`mh-note-copied', `mh-note-printed'.
|
||
|
||
|
||
** Key Binding Changes in mh-e 5.0
|
||
|
||
*** `RET' runs `mh-show' for consistency with the Finder and Info. The
|
||
old binding `.' still works, but `RET' is now the standard binding.
|
||
|
||
*** `M-<' now runs `mh-first-msg' for consistency with `M->', which
|
||
runs `mh-last-msg'.
|
||
|
||
*** `C-c C-f C-d' in MH-Letter mode moves to a Dcc: header field.
|
||
|
||
*** `C-c C-f C-r' in MH-Letter mode moves to a From: header field.
|
||
|
||
*** `g' is now the standard binding for `mh-goto-msg'. The old binding
|
||
`j' still works.
|
||
|
||
|
||
** Other Improvements and Changes to mh-e 5.0
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-lpr-command-format' no longer passes the "-p" argument to
|
||
`lpr' by default. The mail header typically has the date anyway.
|
||
|
||
*** When prompting for a sequence name, if no sequences have been used
|
||
yet, mh-e will offer the first sequence the current message is in.
|
||
|
||
*** The patterns of more mailers are recognized by
|
||
`mh-extract-rejected-mail'.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-insert-prefix-string' no longer wraps the call to the
|
||
`mail-citation-hook' function in a `save-excursion' so the hook writer
|
||
can choose whether to leave point at the beginning or the end of the
|
||
yanked text.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-write-msg-to-file': The prompt now refers to "message" or
|
||
"message body" depending on which will be written. (This is controlled
|
||
by a prefix argument.) The file defaults to the last-used file instead
|
||
of supplying only the directory name.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-e uses message ranges when running MH commands. Thus "rmm 1 2 3
|
||
4 6" is now "rmm 1-4 6". This change makes it less likely to overflow
|
||
system argument list limits, and it might be faster, too.
|
||
|
||
|
||
** Bug Fixes to mh-e 5.0
|
||
|
||
*** mh-e's idea of the unseen sequence now stays in sync with MH's
|
||
better.
|
||
|
||
*** Functions that are supposed to find fields in the message header
|
||
no longer look in the message body.
|
||
|
||
*** mh-e would sometimes fail to remove the "%" from a scan line when
|
||
the message was removed from a sequence if the message was also in the
|
||
Previous sequence.
|
||
|
||
*** The variable `mh-inc-prog' is now correctly used in all places.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-pipe-msg' runs the process in the correct directory.
|
||
|
||
*** A partially scanned folder will no longer lose the "/select"
|
||
annotation when you execute marked deletes and refiles with `x'.

* Changes to mh-e 4.0
|
||
|
||
This file is automatically generated from news-mh-e.txinfo. Do not edit.
|
||
|
||
[MH-E-ONEWS has been incorporated here and removed. news-mh-e.txinfo
|
||
is no longer available.]
|
||
|
||
Note: there are many internal changes to mh-e in this release. If you
|
||
have the previous version loaded into your Emacs, you will probably not
|
||
be able to load this version on top of it.
|
||
|
||
** New Features in mh-e 4.0
|
||
|
||
*** Background folder collection. The first time you are prompted for
|
||
a folder, you must wait while mh-e collects the names of all existing
|
||
folders. Now however, if you abort, collecting will continue in the
|
||
background, and you can do something else in Emacs until the
|
||
collection completes. Normally, mh-e will begin collecting folders
|
||
names in the background when you first load it; you can disable this
|
||
feature by setting `mh-auto-folder-collect' to nil.
|
||
|
||
*** There is support for composing MIME messages using the `mhn'
|
||
program from MH 6.8. See the documentation string for mh-edit-mhn.
|
||
(While composing a letter, type `C-h k C-c C-e'.) See also mhn(1).
|
||
There is as yet no support for reading MIME messages.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-show', typically on `.', repositions to the start of the
|
||
message if the message is already visible. It used to do nothing in
|
||
this case.
|
||
|
||
*** The function `mh-unshar-msg' is renamed `mh-store-msg'. It now
|
||
does uudecoding, too. Someday it should do MIME. It remembers the last
|
||
directory you used and offers it as the default for next time.
|
||
|
||
*** New function `mh-header-display', on `,', displays the message
|
||
with all headers, including those normally not displayed. Type `.' to
|
||
display the message normally again.
|
||
|
||
*** New function `mh-list-sequences' lists the sequences in use in the
|
||
current folder.
|
||
|
||
*** New function `mh-version' displays version information about MH
|
||
and mh-e. Please use the output in bug reports.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-quit' now buries the folder buffer and show buffer.
|
||
|
||
|
||
** New hooks and customization variables in mh-e 4.0
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-pick-mode-hook': new hook called by new mode `mh-pick-mode'.
|
||
The pick buffer didn't used to have its own mode. Another advantage of
|
||
`mh-pick-mode' is that `C-h m' works in the pick buffer.
|
||
|
||
*** `mail-citation-hook': new variable for supercite.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-refile-msg-hook': new hook called by `mh-refile-msg' (and
|
||
`mh-refile-or-write-again' when refiling).
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-msg-folder-hook': new hook used by `mh-refile-msg' and
|
||
`mh-to-fcc' to provide a default folder for user prompt.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-show-hook': new hook called by `mh-show'.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-delete-msg-hook': new hook called by `mh-delete-msg'.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-show-mode-hook': new hook called by new mode `mh-show-mode'
|
||
for `show-' buffers.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-comp-formfile': new variable so can customize `components'
|
||
file.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-sortm-args': new variable, a list of extra arguments to be
|
||
passed to sortm by `mh-sort-folder'. Give an argument to
|
||
`mh-sort-folder' to suppress this behavior.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-send-prog': new variable so can customize name of `send'
|
||
program in case of name conflicts.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-scan-prog': new variable so can customize name of `scan'
|
||
program to generate custom effects.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-inc-prog': new variable so can customize name of `inc' program
|
||
to do fancy management of incoming messages.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-forwarded-letter-subject': new function used by `mh-forward'
|
||
to compute the Subject line of the new message. It is a small function
|
||
which can be replaced by the user for customization. Uses the new
|
||
variable `mh-forward-subject-format', which allows some simple
|
||
customizations without rewriting even `mh-forwarded-letter-subject'.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-new-draft-cleaned-headers': new variable, header lines removed
|
||
by `mh-edit-again' and `mh-extract-rejected-mail' before offering a
|
||
message as a new draft.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-signature-file-name': new variable used by
|
||
`mh-insert-signature' to so can customize name of the file to insert.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-read-address': new function called to read all To: and Cc:
|
||
addresses.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-msg-folder-hook': new hook used by `mh-refile-msg' and
|
||
`mh-to-fcc' to provide a default folder for user prompt.
|
||
|
||
|
||
** Key binding changes in mh-e 4.0
|
||
|
||
*** `,' runs new function `mh-header-display'. It is like `.' but it
|
||
displays *all* the headers.
|
||
|
||
*** `M-#' runs the new function `mh-delete-seq'. One used to have to
|
||
type `C-u M-%' to delete a sequence.
|
||
|
||
*** `<' no longer does `mh-first-msg', but `M->' now does
|
||
`mh-last-msg'. This allows first and last to be consistent (`>' was
|
||
taken) and is more likely to be discovered by chance anyway.
|
||
|
||
*** `M-d' runs `mh-redistribute', `r' runs `mh-reply' (on the theory
|
||
that the more commonly used function should be easier to type, and the
|
||
obscure action of redistributing can be harder to type).
|
||
|
||
*** `M-o' changed to `C-o' (`mh-write-msg-to-file'). It was
|
||
interfering with arrow keys for some people.
|
||
|
||
*** `M-n' now runs `mh-store-msg' (formerly `mh-unshar-msg').
|
||
|
||
*** `b' no longer runs `mh-quit'; use `q' instead. `b' may be used in
|
||
a future version for something else.
|
||
|
||
|
||
** Minor improvements to mh-e 4.0
|
||
|
||
*** The mh-e code is now divided into multiple Emacs Lisp files, so it
|
||
starts up faster because Emacs doesn't have to load all of it at once.
|
||
(This change also makes it easier for the maintainer to manage
|
||
things.)
|
||
|
||
*** When searching for the directory containing the MH programs,
|
||
search the user's PATH in addition to the built-in directories, to
|
||
increase the chance of finding the MH programs.
|
||
|
||
*** The subject for a forwarded message no longer has ugly square
|
||
brackets around it.
|
||
|
||
*** The name of the folder is no longer appears twice in the show
|
||
buffer mode line.
|
||
|
||
*** When typing a folder name in the minibuffer, parent folders
|
||
complete to the trailing slash (/), for easier typing of subfolders.
|
||
|
||
*** The folder buffer mode name changed from `mh-e scan' or `mh-e
|
||
show' to `MH-Folder', which makes the hook name easier to guess. Added
|
||
`mh-showing' to `minor-mode-alist' so there is still an indication in
|
||
the mode line of whether messages will be shown automatically.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-rename-seq' does completion on the old sequence name.
|
||
|
||
*** If called by a user who has never used MH on this system before,
|
||
mh-e runs the MH program `install-mh' to get them set up.
|
||
|
||
*** Undo history for previous messages is not kept to avoid wasting
|
||
memory.
|
||
|
||
*** The internal temp buffer used by mh-e has `buffer-offer-save'
|
||
explicitly nil. This change benefits people who change the
|
||
`buffer-offer-save' default.
|
||
|
||
|
||
** Bug fixes to mh-e 4.0
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-to-field': don't bomb if no To: field.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-get-new-mail': restore annotations, e.g., cur, even if no new
|
||
mail.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-rename-seq': verify that the new seq name was accepted by
|
||
`mark' before updating state.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-internal-seq': the Previous sequence is not notated, since it
|
||
would notate everything scanned.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-read-draft': don't call `find-file-noselect' so an
|
||
`auto-mode-alist' doesn't trigger `mh-letter-mode-hook' twice. Faster,
|
||
too.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-show': If user moves onto a message that doesn't exist, don't
|
||
leave the cursor in the show pane.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-delete-scan-msgs': use `equal', not `=', on the result of
|
||
`mh-get-msg-num', since it may be nil.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-get-field': do anchored search so searching for `reply-to:'
|
||
doesn't find `in-reply-to:'.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-widen': do nothing if not narrowed.
|
||
|
||
*** `mh-clean-message-header': find end of headers even if no body.
