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