Thanks for your help! - -** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.95 - -*** Folder Completion Fails in fcc: Field - -This has been fixed (closes SF #1476270). - -* Changes in MH-E 7.94 - -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. - -** New Features in MH-E 7.94 - -*** 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). - -** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.94 - -*** 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). - -*** Incorrect Example in mh-folder-list Docstring - -This has been fixed (closes SF #1448498). - -*** 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 - -*** Update Icons - -Most of the tool bar icons have been replaced by GTK or GNOME 2 icons -(closes SF #1452715). - -*** Can't customize tool bar for current session - -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). - -*** Strip Build Number From emacs-version in X-Mailer - -This has been done (closes SF #1466481). - -*** mh-folder-completion-function Problems - -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). - -*** 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). - -*** "echo -e" in Makefile Causes Solaris 10 Problem - -This construct has been replaced with printf, which is reputed to be -more portable (closes SF #1467222, #1473908). - -* Changes in MH-E 7.93 - -Version 7.93, the fourth 8.0 beta release, fixes a handful of bugs in -searching and limiting exposed during continued beta testing. - -** Variables Deleted in MH-E 7.93 - -*** mh-show-use-goto-addr-flag - -This flag was redundant and inconsistent with -`goto-address-highlight-p' at the same time, so we removed it.

This has been fixed -(closes SF #1435381). - -*** 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). - - - -* Changes in MH-E 7.92 - -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. - -* Changes in MH-E 7.91 - -Version 7.91 is the second 8.0 beta release and fixes several bugs -that were uncovered in wider testing. - -* Changes in MH-E 7.90 - -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. - -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. - -If you use undocumented functionality, be sure to read the ChangeLog -for changes that might affect you. - -** New Features in MH-E 7.90 - -*** 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-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. - -*** 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). - -*** Merge mh-index.el and mh-pick.el - -We merged `mh-index.el' and `mh-pick.el' into a new file -`mh-search.el'. As part of this process, the old `F s' behavior of -adding messages to the search sequence has been removed. The `F i' -keybinding was then renamed to `F s' (`mh-search'). The mode of the -search-pattern buffer was renamed from MH-Pick to MH-Search. Within -the MH-Search buffer, 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). - -*** Improve Security of mh-fetch-x-image-url - -The default 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). - -*** 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). - -*** 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). - -*** Add Choices 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). - -*** MH-Folder Keymap Changes - -The function `mh-ps-print-toggle-mime' was never implemented and the -functionality in `mh-ps-print-msg-show' was better afforded by -`mh-ps-print-msg' and `mh-ps-print-msg-file'. - -Key 7.4.85 7.4.90 - -F i mh-index-search - -F s mh-search-folder mh-search -P A mh-ps-print-toggle-mime - -P M mh-ps-print-toggle-mime - -P s mh-ps-print-msg-show - - -*** MH-Letter Keymap Changes - -The change where `mh-letter-mode' derives from `mail-mode' adds a few -keybindings. Some are interesting; experiment! 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. - -Key 7.4.85 7.4.90 - -C-c C-e mh-edit-mhn mh-mh-to-mime -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 -C-c RET C-g mh-mhn-compose-anon-ftp mh-mh-compose-anon-ftp -C-c RET C-t mh-mhn-compose-external-compressed-tar - 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-mhn-compose-external-type mh-mh-compose-external-type -C-c RET g mh-mhn-compose-anon-ftp mh-mh-compose-anon-ftp -C-c RET t mh-mhn-compose-external-compressed-tar - mh-mh-compose-external-compressed-tar -C-c RET u mh-revert-mhn-edit mh-mh-to-mime-undo -C-c RET x mh-mhn-compose-external-type mh-mh-compose-external-type - -*** 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! - -Key 7.4.85 7.4.90 - -C-c C-c mh-do-search mh-index-do-search -C-c TAB mh-index-do-search - - -** New Variables in MH-E 7.90 - -*** mh-after-commands-processed-hook - -Hook run by `x' (`mh-execute-commands') after performing outstanding -refile and delete requests. - -*** 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-highlight-citation-style - -Renamed from `mh-highlight-citation-p' since it wasn't a boolean. The -new name is also more descriptive. - -*** 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-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-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-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-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 7.90 - -*** mail-citation-hook - -This is already defined in `sendmail.el'. - -*** mh-edit-mhn-hook - -Renamed to `mh-mh-to-mime-hook'. - -*** mh-folder-updated-hook - -Renamed to `mh-before-commands-processed-hook'. - -*** mh-highlight-citation-p - -Renamed to `mh-highlight-citation-style'. - -*** mh-index-new-messages-folders - -Renamed to `mh-new-messages-folders'. - -*** mh-index-program - -Renamed to `mh-search-program'. - -*** mh-index-ticked-messages-folders - -Renamed to `mh-ticked-messages-folders'. - -*** 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'. - -*** mhl-formfile - -Renamed to `mh-mhl-format-file'. - -*** mh-pick-mode-hook - -Renamed to `mh-search-mode-hook'. - -*** 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-xemacs-toolbar-position - -Renamed to `mh-xemacs-tool-bar-position'. - -*** mh-xemacs-use-toolbar-flag - -Renamed to `mh-xemacs-use-tool-bar-flag'. - -*** mh-yank-from-start-of-msg - -Renamed to `mh-yank-behavior'. - -** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.90 - -*** Error Message When Trying to Send Using MH-E - -This behavior is no longer observed (closes SF #1002103). - -*** "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). - -*** 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). - -*** Speedbar Creating New Folders Instead of Visiting Existing - -This was actually fixed in 7.4.3 (closes SF #792300). - -*** Args Out of Range - -This compilation error was actually fixed in 7.4.3 (closes SF -#806577). - -*** Initialization Fails If ~/Mail Exists - -MH-E no longer calls `install-mh' so this issue has gone away (closes -SF #835192). - -*** RETURN Causes Infinite Loop in mh-letter - -This behavior is no longer observed (closes SF #887346). - -*** Missing Headers When Replying to All - -User needed to edit `replgroupcomps' (closes SF #918194). - -*** 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). - -*** 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). - -*** XEmacs Compile Fails - -Compiling produced a "Symbol's value as variable is void: require" -error on all files. This has been fixed. As a bonus, warnings have -been reduced from hundreds to just a few (closes SF #1127595). - -*** buffer-offer-save Permanent Local - -There was a movement to make `buffer-offer-save' a permanent local -which would have meant that we could not set it in `mh-letter-mode'. -However, this movement was fraught with issues and was postponed -(closes SF #1184756). - -*** 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). - -*** 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). - -*** Use Standard Default Notation in 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 (closes SF #1275933). - -*** 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). - - - -* Changes in MH-E 7.85 - -Version 7.85 heralds a migration of the CVS repository from -SourceForge to Savannah only for those files that were already part of -Emacs. As a result, two incompatibilities were introduced with this -release: the location of MH-E in the load-path has changed, and -mh-e-autoloads.el was renamed to mh-autoloads.el. 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. - -MH-E now works on a Mac. See section INSTALL in the README for details. - -** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.85 - -*** Prompts Now Follow Current Conventions - -Instead of "Prompt: [] ", the prompts now look like "Prompt -(default: ): ". - -*** Face Variable Names Now Follow Current Conventions - -The -face suffix has been dropped from all face names. - -*** 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). - -*** 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). - -*** 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). - - - -* Changes in MH-E 7.84 - -Version 7.84 contains no user-visible changes. This version -incorporates changes made in CVS Emacs such as the removal of some -deprecated software. - -* Changes in MH-E 7.83 - -Version 7.83 fixes a handful of bugs, adds colors to buttons for -signed or encrypted messages, and contains some documentation changes -related to the upcoming release of the manual. Some options were moved -to other customization groups as a result. +* 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.

In addition, you can now add -whitespace to any of the limiting (/) commands (closes SF #1122655). - -*** 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). - -*** 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). - -*** 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). - -*** ! Doesn't Do Regions - -Now it does (closes SF #1046330). - -*** 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.
