1  * Changes in mh-e 7.1  * Changes in MH-E 7.2
2    
3    This release includes the new features of filing hints, hierarchical
4    file name completion, indexed search and pick integration, unification
5    between `mh-visit-folder' and the speedbar, a displayed message
6    indicator, buffer name organization, support for mairix indexed
7    search, and last but not least, the MH-E logo has been added to the
8    mode line. Code that handles sequences and message regions runs
9    faster. Bugs have been fixed.
10    
11    ** New Features in MH-E 7.2
12    
13    *** Filing Hints
14    
15    When you file a message, MH-E now looks for an alias corresponding to
16    the address of the sender and offers that as a default folder (closes
17    SF #657096). The new variable `mh-default-folder-prefix' can be used
18    to put these folders in a sub-folder. The new variable
19    `mh-default-folder-must-exist-flag' means to suppress the suggested
20    folder (thereby providing the previous folder used) if the folder
21    doesn't already exist. The new variable `mh-default-folder-list' can
22    be used to map additional addresses and folders.
23    
24    *** Hierarchical File Name Completion
25    
26    When you completed filenames in the past, you were presented with a
27    list of all your folders at all depths in the tree. Now you are
28    presented with only one level at a time (closes SF #664821).
29    As a result, the variables `mh-auto-folder-collect-flag' and
30    `mh-folder-list-change-hook' are obsolete.
31    
32    *** Indexed Search and Pick Integration
33    
34    The indexed and pick searches have been integrated (closes SF
35    #664816). Both "F s (mh-search-folder)" and "F i (mh-index-search)"
36    use the pick template for forming queries. To submit the query, use
37    "C-c C-c (mh-do-search)" which will use the query method you selected.
38    If you change your mind while forming the query, you can use "C-c C-i
39    (mh-index-do-search)" or "C-c C-p (mh-pick-do-search)" to submit the
40    query using the respective method.
41    
42    Second, the results from a pick search are now saved in a sub-folder
43    of +mhe-index like an indexed search.
44    
45    Third, `pick' is now a valid choice for `mh-index-program'.
46    
47    *** mh-visit-folder Metamorphosis Continues
48    
49    When visiting a folder from the speedbar, only the unseen messages are
50    shown if there are unseen messages. If there aren't any unseen
51    messages, all of the messages are shown if there are fewer than
52    `mh-large-folder' messages; otherwise, the user is prompted for the
53    range of messages to display. The "F v (mh-visit-folder)" command has
54    been modified to mimic this behavior. Use a prefix arg to force the
55    message range prompt.
56    
57    *** Displayed Message Indicator
58    
59    In graphical Emacs, the message that is shown is marked by a triangle
60    in the fringe. In textual Emacs, there is a ">" in the first column
61    (closes SF #664824).
62    
63    *** Buffer Name Organization
64    
65    All ephemeral buffer names start with " *mh" while all interesting
66    buffers start with "*MH-E ". The "*Folders*", "*Sequences*", and
67    "*Recipients*" buffers were therefore renamed to "*MH-E Folders*",
68    "*MH-E Sequences*" and "*MH-E Recipients*" respectively (programmers
69    should see mh-utils.el for the names of the new constants). Also, the
70    output of MH commands is saved in the "*MH-E Log*" buffer.
71    
72    *** mh-index-program
73    
74    Add choices for `mairix' and `pick'.
75    
76    *** Logo Displayed on Mode Line
77    
78    ** New Variables in MH-E 7.2
79    
80    The new variables have been discussed elsewhere.
81    
82    ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.2
83    
84    *** mh-decode-content-transfer-encoded-message
85    
86    Messages that had been encoded with base64 were not decoded. This has
87    been fixed with this new function (closes SF #674190). As a result,
88    the variable `mh-decode-quoted-printable-flag' has been renamed to
89    `mh-decode-content-transfer-encoded-message-flag'.
90    
91    *** mh-kill-folder
92    
93    Now restores previous window configuration (closes SF #664828).
94    
95    *** mh-mime-display
96    
97    MH-E was not using the charset defined in the content-type
98    header. This meant that mail in a different charset would not
99    be properly displayed. This has been fixed (closes SF #655123).
100    
101    *** mh-read-address
102    
103    In XEmacs and Emacs20, this function would always prompt using "To: "
104    instead of using the command argument. This has been fixed (closes SF
105    #670913).
106    
107    *** mh-rmail
108    
109    Unseen messages are now shown in addition to new ones (closes SF
110    #667542).
111    
112    *** mh-scan-msg-overflow-regexp
113    
114    Change the variable so that a space is always maintained in the
115    beginning of the scan line.
116    
117    *** mh-swish-execute-search
118    
119    The example configuration file in the docstring didn't show the
120    backslash in the FileRules filename. If the example had been used
121    literally by the user, no files would be indexed! This has been fixed
122    (closes SF #665888).
123    
124    *** mh-thread-refile
125    
126    The "T o (mh-thread-refile)" command did not provide refiling hints
127    like `mh-refile-msg'. This has been fixed (closes SF #664829).
128    
129    *** mh-toggle-threads
130    
131    If the threaded view was modified and then toggled, the standard view
132    may not have been accurate (as it contained a potentially old first
133    message to last message range). This has been fixed (closes SF
134    #626117).
135    
136    *** mh-tool-bar-show-set, mh-tool-bar-letter-set, mh-tool-bar-folder-set
137    
138    Clicking the customize and help buttons now deletes the other windows
139    in the frame.
140    
141    *** mh-version
142    
143    The "M-x mh-version" command displayed "Aliasfile: aliases". This has
144    been fixed (closes SF #664467). See Buffer Name Organization above.
