+* Changes in MH-E 7.4.4
+
+Version 7.4.4 addresses programmatic issues from the FSF and prepares
+MH-E for inclusion into an impending GNU Emacs release (21.4). There
+are no user-visible changes (unless you are using XEmacs on DOS or
+don't have the cl package installed). Filenames are now unique in
+their first 8 characters (DOS 8.3 requirement). The runtime dependency
+on the cl package has been removed. Desktop saving and restoration
+code moved here from desktop.el.
+
+* Changes in MH-E 7.4.3
+
+Version 7.4.3 fixes the problem where mh-identity-list was not getting
+set from .emacs.
+
+* Changes in MH-E 7.4.2
+
+Version 7.4.2 fixes the accidental dependence on nmh (closes SF
+#791021).
+
+* Changes in MH-E 7.4.1
+
+Version 7.4.1 fixes the Makefile so it no longer tries to compile
+mh-unit.el.
+
+* Changes in MH-E 7.4
+
+Version 7.4 contains many new useful features including arbitrary MH
+range handling, new draft features such as draft form editing, as well
+as sequence propagation and manipulation. We've also fixed bugs and
+added a handful of new variables.
+
+** New Features in MH-E 7.4
+
+*** Add Arbitrary Ranges to MH-E UI
+
+MH-E now handles any legal MH range (such as last:5 or 4 8 10-12)
+wherever you're prompted for a message number or sequence (closes SF
+#728638).
+
+*** Remove Prompting in mh-send
+
+Brian Reid's original mhe didn't do prompting anywhere but used forms
+instead. While we won't go that far, we eliminated prompting where a
+form is already involved, such as in composing a message.
+
+The new customization variable `mh-compose-prompt-flag' can be set to
+t to get the original behavior (closes SF #745622).
+
+*** Use TAB to Switch Fields in Header
+
+When composing a message, TAB and SHIFT-TAB can be used to move
+quickly between header fields. The new customization variable,
+`mh-compose-skipped-header-fields', contains a list of header fields
+that are skipped and truncated if they are too long (closes SF
+#745627).
+
+*** Alias Completion in Composition Buffer
+
+Aliases can be completed in the draft with "M-TAB
+(mh-letter-complete)". Or, if the customization variable
+`mh-compose-space-does-completion-flag' is set to t, then a "SPC
+(mh-letter-complete-or-space)" with do the same thing. If
+`mh-alias-flash-on-comma' is non-nil, ", (mh-letter-confirm-address)"
+will show the alias expansion in the minibuffer (closes SF #745634).
+
+*** Auto Fields Should be Inserted During Send
+
+Fields that were inserted by the multiple personality code when the
+draft was sent now insert the header fields when the draft is composed
+to give you a chance to edit them (closes SF #747890).
+
+*** mh-index-tick-messages
+
+The command "F ' (mh-index-ticked-messages)" creates a buffer with all
+messages ticked with "' (mh-toggle-tick)" in the folders listed in the
+new customization variable `mh-index-ticked-messages-folders'. Chances
+are that if you set `mh-index-new-messages-folders', you'll want to
+set `mh-index-ticked-messages-folders' accordingly.
+
+In addition, a general function, "F q (mh-index-sequenced-messages)"
+has been provided that displays messages in the `mh-unseen-seq' in the
+folders listed `mh-index-new-messages-folders', unless a prefix
+argument is given, in which case you can provide both a list of
+folders and a sequence (closes SF #718833).
+
+*** Narrow to Region
+
+If there is a region, "/ r (mh-narrow-to-range)" will only consider
+those messages in the region. In addition, there is now a stack of
+folder limits which can be popped with "/ w (mh-widen)". With a prefix
+arg, all the restrictions are popped off of the stack (closes SF
+#732823).
+
+*** Narrow to Ticked Sequence
+
+The buffer can now be narrowed to ticked messages with "S '
+(mh-narrow-to-tick)" (closes SF #732825).
+
+*** Display Multiple Buttons for multipart/alternative
+
+A new customizable variable,
+`mh-display-buttons-for-alternatives-flag', was added to display
+buttons for the alternatives. The default value is nil to retain the
+current behavior (closes SF #741288).
+
+*** Identity Menu Changes
+
+A menu item has been added that inserts custom fields if the To or Cc
+header fields match `mh-auto-fields-list'.
+
+** New Variables in MH-E 7.4
+
+*** mh-alias-local-users-prefix
+
+This string is prepended to the real names of users from the passwd
+file. If nil, use the username string unmodified instead of the real
+name from the gecos field of the passwd file.
+
+*** mh-alias-passwd-gecos-comma-separator-flag
+
+Non-nil means the gecos field in the passwd file uses comma as a
+separator. Used to construct aliases for users in the passwd file."
+
+*** mh-interpret-number-as-range-flag
+
+Non-nil means interpret a number as a range. If the variable is
+non-nil, and you use an integer, N, when asked for a range to scan,
+then MH-E uses the range "last:N".
+
+*** mh-kill-folder-suppress-prompt-hook
+
+This new hook is invoked at the beginning of the `F k
+(mh-kill-folder)' command. It is a list of functions to be called,
+with no arguments, which should return a value of non-nil if you
+should not be asked if you're sure that you want to remove the folder.
+This is useful for folders that are easily regenerated.
+
+The default value of `mh-index-p' suppresses the prompt on folders
+generated by an index search.
+
+WARNING: Use this hook with care. If there is a bug in your hook which
+returns t on +inbox and you hit `F k' by accident in the +inbox
+buffer, you will not be happy.
+
+*** mh-refile-preserves-sequences-flag
+
+Non-nil means that sequences are preserved when messages are refiled.
+If this variable is non-nil and a message belonging to a sequence
+other than cur or Previous-Sequence (see mh-profile 5) is refiled then
+it is put in the same sequence in the destination folder. Additional
+sequences that should not to be preserved can be specified by setting
+`mh-unpropagated-sequences' appropriately.
+
+*** mh-visible-header-fields
+
+Customize this instead of `mh-visible-headers', which is now a defvar.
+This was done to mimic the relationship between
+`mh-invisible-header-fields' and `mh-invisible-fields'.
+
+** Variables Deleted in MH-E 7.4
+
+*** mh-visible-headers
+
+See the paragraph for `mh-visible-header-fields' above.
+
+** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.4
+
+*** Aliases Constantly Reloaded
+
+The system aliases are not loaded as often as they were, so the
+completion speed has been dramatically improved if your passwd file is
+large (closes SF #693859).
+
+*** Folders in MH-Index View Not Saved
+
+When you perform a search to produce an MH-Index buffer, the folders
+that contain the messages are shown. If the MH-Index buffer was
+deleted, or Emacs was restarted and the corresponding folder
+rescanned, the folder information would be lost. This has been fixed
+by saving the information in a file called ".mhe_index" (closes SF
+#701762).
+
+*** Ticking Messages in +mhe-index/new
+
+If a new message in a buffer created by "F n" was ticked (with "'"),
+the message would not be added to the tick sequence in the source
+folder. This has been fixed so that any sequence changes in any index
+folder (from within MH-E of course) are now reflected back to the
+corresponding source folder (closes SF #709664).
+
+*** Custom Vars Set by a Function
+
+The default setting of customization variable `mh-summary-height' is
+now `nil' which means MH-E will change the size dynamically according
+to the size of the frame (closes SF #723267).
+
+*** Folder Completion Slow
+
+The first folder completion was very slow. This has been fixed (closes
+SF #730426).
+
+*** Tick Sequence Persistent When Refiled
+
+Sequences are now preserved when messages are refiled (closes SF
+#737128).
+
+*** Auto-inserted Header Fields Inconsistent
+
+For consistency, all automatically inserted header fields (such as
+X-Mailer and X-Face) are added when the draft is first presented to
+you. This also gives you a chance to edit or delete them if necessary
+(closes SF #745624). Note that we would be distressed if you deleted
+the X-Mailer field.
+
+*** Toolbar Spec Error
+
+The following message appeared when displaying a message in XEmacs:
+
+  Signaling: (error "Toolbar spec must be list or nil" )
+
+This has been fixed (closes SF #745655).
+
+*** mh-index-search Doesn't Find Short Acronyms
+
+Swish typically ignores words with fewer than four letters, but will
+still look for acronyms. Unfortunately, MH-E was downcasing the input
+words which defeated this feature. This has been fixed (closes SF
+#755718).
