8    * Changes in MH-E 7.3
9    
10    ** New Features in MH-E 7.3
11    
12    *** Unified function arguments
13    
14    Any function with MSG-OR-SEQ in its docstring uses the displayed
15    message by default for this argument. However, if a prefix argument is
16    provided, then the user is prompted for a message sequence. If the
17    variable `transient-mark-mode' is non-nil and the mark is active, then
18    the function operates on the messages in the selected region. In a
19    program, MSG-OR-SEQ can be a message number, a list of message
20    numbers, a region in a cons cell, or a sequence.
21    
22    *** MH-Index view of unseen messages
23    
24    Use "F n (mh-index-new-messages)" or Folder -> View New Messages menu
25    item to display messages in the `mh-unseen-seq' sequence in folders
26    specified by `mh-index-new-messages-folders'. With a prefix argument,
27    enter a space-separated list of folders, or nothing to search all
28    folders.
29    
30    Like other MH-Index folders, use "v (mh-index-visit-folder)" if you
31    wish to visit the original folder with the unseen message. This is
32    usually not necessary since the original message is annotated if you
33    reply, deleted if you delete the message, or refiled if you refile the
34    message (closes SF #701756).
35    
36    *** Spam software support
37    
38    MH-E now supports several spam filters including Bogofilter,
39    SpamProbe, and SpamAssassin. Spam that is mistakenly considered to be
40    good mail can be reclassified as spam with "J b (mh-junk-blacklist)".
41    Conversely, good mail that is accidently considered to be spam can be
42    reclassified with "J w (mh-junk-whitelist)" (closes SF #669518).
43    
44    If a message is blacklisted, and `mh-junk-mail-folder' is a string,
45    then the message is refiled to that folder. If this variable is nil,
46    the message is deleted. If a message is whitelisted, then the message
47    is refiled to `mh-inbox'.
48    
49    To change the spam program being used, customize `mh-junk-program'.
50    This should only be necessary if you have multiple filters on your
51    system and MH-E picked the wrong one. These customization variables
52    are found in the new customization group `mh-junk'.
53    
54    The documentation for the following functions describes what setup is
55    needed for the different spam fighting programs:
56    
57      - `mh-bogofilter-blacklist'
58      - `mh-spamprobe-blacklist'
59      - `mh-spamassassin-blacklist'
60    
61    *** Relative folder specification @ supported
62    
63    You can now use the relative folder marker @ in folder names (closes
64    SF #666774).
65    
66    *** Marking messages
67    
68    Messages can now be highlighted with "' (mh-toggle-tick)", Sequence ->
69    Toggle Tick Mark menu item or the "Toggle tick mark" button. These
70    messages are added to the "tick" sequence, although this sequence can
71    be changed in `mh-tick-seq'. The highlighting effect can be modified
72    by customizing `mh-folder-tick-face' (closes SF #623367).
73    
74    There is also a new keybinding "/ ' (mh-narrow-to-tick)" and menu item
75    Sequence -> Narrow to Tick Sequence to narrow the view to the
76    highlighted messages.
77    
78    *** mh-default-folder-list now takes recipients
79    
80    If you wish to file a message based upon the recipient of a message
81    (such as a mailing list), you can now indicate that when filling out
82    the address in the `mh-default-folder-list' customization variable.
83    
84    *** Face header field supported
85    
86    In addition to the X-Face header field, the Face header field, which
87    can display color images, is now supported. As a bonus, the external
88    xface-e21 library is no longer required.
89    
90    *** X-Image-URL support
91    
92    Images specified in X-Image-URL header fields are now supported.
93    See the customization variable `mh-fetch-x-image-url' to enable this
94    support.
95    
96    *** Fcc completion
97    
98    Folders in Fcc fields in message drafts can now be completed with
99    M-TAB.
100    
101    ** New Variables in MH-E 7.3
102    
103    Variables that have been added to MH-E that have not been discussed
104    elsewhere are listed here.
105    
106    *** mh-auto-fields-list
107    
108    Alist of addresses for which header lines are automatically inserted.
109    When a regular expression matches in the To or cc fields of a message,
110    the corresponding header field is automatically inserted in the
111    message header. It also allows the automatic setting of an identity
112    (using `mh-insert-identity') to set an alternate identity when sending
113    messages to a certain person or mailing list.
114    
115    Since this is a more general use of `mh-insert-mail-followup-to-flag'
116    and `mh-insert-mail-followup-to-list', these variables have been removed.
117    
118    *** mh-show-xface-face
119    
120    Face for displaying the X-Face image.
121    
122    *** mh-xemacs-toolbar-position
123    
124    This customization variable allows the user to place the toolbar on
125    the four edges of the frame.
126    
127    *** mh-xemacs-use-toolbar-flag
128    
129    This customization variable is used to enable or disable the toolbar
130    under XEmacs.
131    
132    ** Variables Deleted in MH-E 7.3
133    
134    Variables that have been removed from MH-E that have not been
135    discussed elsewhere are listed here.
136    
137    *** mh-decode-content-transfer-encoded-message-flag
138    
139    No longer needed since the external program mimencode is no longer
140    used.
141    
142    *** mh-index-show-hook
143    
144    This hook was never used, so it was removed.
145    
146    *** mh-tool-bar-reply-3-buttons-flag
147    
148    Obsolete. This functionality is present `mh-tool-bar-folder-buttons'.
149    
150    ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.3
151    
152    *** Can't refile message
153    
154    Messages with invalid addresses were causing errors in ali which
155    prevented the refiling of messages. The ali error is now shown in the
156    "*MH-E Log*" buffer and refiling suggests the last folder used (closes
157    SF #680388).
158    
159    *** Empty body triggers duped header
160    
161    If the body was empty the header would be treated like the body and
162    was therefore displayed twice. This has been fixed (closes SF
163    #681162).
164    
165    *** mml or mhl directives not always processed
166    
167    The mml and mhl directives used to create body parts were not
168    processed if one re-edited a draft, or if they added the directives
169    manually. The directives are now always processed upon sending the
170    letter. You may still, of course, use "C-c C-m m (mh-mml-to-mime)" or
171    "C-c C-e (mh-edit-mhn)" to manually create the MIME body parts from
172    the directives and then send the draft.
173    
174    *** mh-alias-grab-from-field fails
175    
176    MH-E was adding aliases with angle brackets around the address when
177    there wasn't a phrase (usually, the user's name), to go with it. This
178    caused ali to fail which caused problems in MH-E. This is probably a
179    bug in ali, but MH-E no longer inserts angle brackets around the
180    address unless there is a phrase, which avoids the problem (closes SF
181    #690216).
182    
183    *** XEmacs fixes
184    
185    MH-E is now fully supported under XEmacs and compiles without any
186    warnings.
187    
188    In particular, the following now work under XEmacs:
189    
190    - X-Face, Face, and X-Image-URL header fields
191    - MH-E logo in mode line
192    - Emphasis (bold, italics, etc.)
193    - Smilies
194    - Toolbar
195    
196    *** Indexed folders should respect mh-show-threads-flag
197    
198    Indexed folders are now threaded if `mh-show-threads-flag' is non-nil
199    (closes SF #709667).
200    
201    *** Threading index view loses folder info
202    
203    This has been fixed (closes SF #709672).
204    
205    *** No undo information when re-editing drafts
206    
207    Undo is turned on in the draft buffer when using "e (mh-edit-again)"
208    (closes SF #712777).
209    
210    *** Forwarded base64 encoded messages are incorrectly displayed
211    
212    This has been fixed (closes SF #681518).
213    
214    *** Append to *MH-E Log* buffer
215    
216    The last 100 lines of log messages are kept in the *MH-E Log* buffer.
217    Previously, the buffer was erased every time it was written (closes SF
218    #685476). In addition, many of the MH-E commands now send their output
219    into this buffer instead of a plethora of other special-purpose
220    buffers.
221    
222    *** mh-inc-folder complains if no mail and no current message
223    
224    The function `mh-inc-folder' no longer calls `mh-show' if point is not
225    on a valid scan line. This keeps `mh-inc-folder' from complaining
226    (closes SF #678115).
227    
228    *** Folder normalization strips leading slash
229    
230    Leading "/" characters in folder names entered by the user were being
231    lost. This has been fixed (closes SF #676890).
232    
233    *** Print header doesn't show message
234    
235    When printing a sequence, the header simply indicated that a sequence,
236    but not which one, was being printed and did not show the message
237    number. This has been fixed. If more than one message is printed, a
238    page of the scan lines is printed and its header indicates the
239    sequence or message range. The pages with the actual messages all set
240    the header to the folder and message displayed on that page.
241    
242    *** Aliases constantly reloaded
243    
244    Empty lists are now handled properly (closes SF #693859).
245    
246    *** Remove RCS keywords
247    
248    Removed RCS keywords per Emacs conventions (closes SF #680731).
249    
250    *** Replace mimencode
251    
252    MH-E was enhanced to decode message based on charset and
253    Content-Transfer-Encoding. This eliminates the need for the external
254    program mimencode (closes SF #674857).
