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.
