Thanks for your help! - -** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.95 - -*** Folder Completion Fails in fcc: Field +* 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. -This has been fixed (closes SF #1476270). +While not related to this release, the MH-E mailing lists are now +gatewayed at gmane.org (closes SF #979308). -* Changes in MH-E 7.94 +If you want to see the release notes for the alpha and beta releases +leading up this release, please see: -Version 7.94, the first 8.0 release candidate, fixes a bunch of bugs, -incorporates new features introduced in Emacs 22.1, improves folder -completion, and spruces up the tool bar. + http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/emacs/etc/MH-E-NEWS?rev=1.25&root=emacs&view=markup -** New Features in MH-E 7.94 + -*** Add :package-version Keyword to Options +** New Features in MH-E 8.0 -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). +*** GNU mailutils Support -** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.94 +MH-E now supports GNU mailutils 0.4 and higher versions. -*** mhparam -components Fails on mailutils +*** S/MIME Support -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). +MH-E now supports S/MIME using Gnus 5.10.6 or higher. -*** "/ s" Still Has Problems With []'d Mail +*** Picon Support -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). +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. -*** Incorrect Example in mh-folder-list Docstring +*** Catchup Command -This has been fixed (closes SF #1448498). +There is a new `F c' (`mh-catchup') command that marks all unread +messages in the current folder as read. -*** Variable mh-send-args Is a String, Not a List +*** Use which-func-mode to Display Folder in Index Mode -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). +Turning on `which-func-mode' displays the folder name of the message +under the cursor in index folders (closes SF #855520). -*** Update Icons +*** Quick Key Help -Most of the tool bar icons have been replaced by GTK or GNOME 2 icons -(closes SF #1452715). +The `?' (`mh-help') function now displays the help in its own buffer +called *MH-E Help* (closes SF #493740 and SF #656631). -*** Can't customize tool bar for current session +*** Search Unification -If you customized `mh-tool-bar-folder-buttons' or -`mh-tool-bar-letter-buttons', and clicked Set for Current Session, the -tool bar was not updated. This has been fixed (closes SF #1452718). +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). -*** Strip Build Number From emacs-version in X-Mailer +*** Entry Points Have Moved -This has been done (closes SF #1466481). +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-completion-function Problems +*** MH-Folder Keymap Changes -One could not longer browse folders outside of the standard MH Mail -directory. This has been fixed. As a beneficial side-effect, you can -once again use SPC to complete folders (closes SF #1470518). +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. -*** Rename Function and Variable Definers +Key 7.4.4 8.0 -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-toggle-mh-decode-mime-flag +l mh-print-msg - +/ f mh-narrow-to-from - +/ r mh-narrow-to-range - +/ g - mh-narrow-to-range +/ m - mh-narrow-to-from +F c - mh-catchup +F i mh-index-search - +F s mh-search-folder mh-search +K e - mh-display-with-external-viewer +K t - mh-toggle-mime-buttons +P ? - mh-prefix-help +P C - mh-ps-print-toggle-color +P F - mh-ps-print-toggle-faces +P f - mh-ps-print-msg-file +P l - mh-print-msg +P p - mh-ps-print-msg -*** mh-insert-letter Uses Wrong Default +*** MH-Letter Keymap Changes -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). +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. -*** "echo -e" in Makefile Causes Solaris 10 Problem +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 the family of "mml" functions. -This construct has been replaced with printf, which is reputed to be -more portable (closes SF #1467222, #1473908). +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. -* Changes in MH-E 7.93 +Key 7.4.4 8.0 -Version 7.93, the fourth 8.0 beta release, fixes a handful of bugs in -searching and limiting exposed during continued beta testing. +C-c C-e mh-edit-mhn mh-mh-to-mime +C-c RET C-e mh-mml-secure-message-encrypt-pgpmime + mh-mml-secure-message-encrypt +C-c RET C-g - mh-mh-compose-anon-ftp +C-c RET C-n - mh-mml-unsecure-message +C-c RET C-s mh-mml-secure-message-sign-pgpmime + mh-mml-secure-message-sign +C-c RET C-t - mh-mh-compose-external-compressed-tar +C-c RET C-u mh-revert-mhn-edit mh-mh-to-mime-undo +C-c RET C-x - mh-mh-compose-external-type +C-c RET e mh-mml-secure-message-encrypt-pgpmime + Prefix Command +C-c RET e e - mh-mml-secure-message-encrypt +C-c RET e s - mh-mml-secure-message-signencrypt +C-c RET g - mh-mh-compose-anon-ftp +C-c RET n - mh-mml-unsecure-message +C-c RET s - Prefix Command +C-c RET s e - mh-mml-secure-message-signencrypt +C-c RET s s - mh-mml-secure-message-sign +C-c RET t - mh-mh-compose-external-compressed-tar +C-c RET u mh-revert-mhn-edit mh-mh-to-mime-undo +C-c RET x - mh-mh-compose-external-type -** Variables Deleted in MH-E 7.93 +C-c C-f C-a - mh-to-field +C-c C-f C-l - mh-to-field +C-c C-f RET - mh-to-field +C-c C-f a - mh-to-field +C-c C-f l - mh-to-field +C-c C-f m - mh-to-field -*** mh-show-use-goto-addr-flag +*** MH-Search Keymap Changes -This flag was redundant and inconsistent with -`goto-address-highlight-p' at the same time, so we removed it.

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. -*** Pick-based Searches Fail +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). -The command `C-c C-p' failed to find any matches. This has been fixed -(closes SF #1435381). +WARNING: There are security concerns with this feature. Please read +the documentation for these options carefully before changing the +default. -*** Can't Narrow to Subject with Regexp Chars +*** Updates to mh-identity-list -The command `/ s' could not limit subjects that had special pick -characters (such as [, *, $, .). This has been fixed (closes SF -#1432548). +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. -* Changes in MH-E 7.92 +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'. -Version 7.92, the third 8.0 beta release, removes the "sed -i" in the -Makefile (SF #1432060), tunes the setting of `mh-image-load-path', -works around systems that do not have face inheritance, fixes several -issues with searching on XEmacs, and creates the correct MIME type -when including OpenOffice documents. +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". -* Changes in MH-E 7.91 +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). -Version 7.91 is the second 8.0 beta release and fixes several bugs -that were uncovered in wider testing. +*** Updates to Speedbar -* Changes in MH-E 7.90 +The speedbar now renders the folders with unseen messages in boldface +which makes them easier to identify (closes SF #623369). -Version 7.90 is the first 8.0 beta release and is a release that has -finally broken away from some unfortunate legacy decisions in favor of -something that will be easier to use and support. Many bugs were fixed -and many features were added, including making the pick search -equivalent to the other types of searches. +*** Updates to mh-msg-is-in-seq -The rewrite of the manual accelerated dramatically in recent months -and drove the changes in this release. In order to make the -manual--and hence the software--better, clearer, more consistent, more -predictable, and easier to understand, many variables and functions -were renamed. The changes to the user-visible variables are listed -here. It is our hope that you, dear MH-E user, will embrace the -changes for the better and forgive us from making so many incompatible -changes. +Can now specify an alternate message number to `S s' +(`mh-msg-is-in-seq') with a prefix argument. -If you use undocumented functionality, be sure to read the ChangeLog -for changes that might affect you. +*** Updates to mh-to-field-choices -** New Features in MH-E 7.90 +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). -*** Entry Points Have Moved +*** Change Content-Type Renderer on the Fly in MH-Show Buffer -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. +This has been implemented by adding the key binding `K e' +(`mh-display-with-external-viewer').
