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