+ * Changes in MH-E 7.82
+ 
+ Version 7.82 continues to address the saga surrounding the use of CL
+ macros in CVS Emacs and fixes the auto-detection of vanilla MH (SF
+ #1014781).
+ 
+ * Changes in MH-E 7.81
+ 
+ Version 7.81 fixes a `wrong-type-argument' argument error that
+ sometimes occurred when processing the Message-ID, adds the ";
+ (mh-toggle-mh-decode-mime-flag)" command, and uses ":default" instead
+ of "default" in `mh-identity-handlers' to avoid problems with
+ "Default:" as a user defined field. If you have modified
+ `mh-identity-handlers' in your .emacs, you'll need to rename "default"
+ to ":default". This release also corrects the release numbering; the
+ previous version number was intended to be 7.80.
+ 
+ * Changes in MH-E 7.4.80
+ 
+ Version 7.4.80 now supports GNU mailutils, S/MIME, picons,
+ which-func-mode, has an improved interface for hiding header fields,
+ improves upon the MH variant detection, and contains many bug fixes.
+ Those of you familiar with the GNU version numbering schemes will
+ recognize this as an alpha release. This does not reflect on the
+ quality of this release which is as high as it has always been.
+ Although we are not ready to release 8.0, we want you to have access
+ to the work that has been hiding in CVS. At the same time we want to
+ make it clear that there are incompatible changes with previous
+ versions.
+ 
+ We are planning to release the long-awaited manual update synchronized
+ with version 8.0. We are using documentation from the manual in the
+ docstrings which is hoped to make "C-h f (describe-function)" really
+ useful and create a seamless experience when switching back and forth
+ between the manual and the docstrings. This has been done in about
+ half of the variables and functions in this version.
+ 
+ The writing of the manual has revealed a few inconsistencies in the
+ software whose fixes have resulted in incompatible changes, and there
+ may well be more. So, unlike version 7 which was chock full of new
+ features, version 8's strengths will include complete documentation
+ and higher quality.
+ 
+ ** New Features in MH-E 7.4.80
+ 
+ *** GNU mailutils Support
+ 
+ MH-E now supports GNU mailutils 0.4 and higher versions.
+ 
+ *** S/MIME Support
+ 
+ MH-E now supports S/MIME using Gnus 5.10.6 or higher.
+ 
+ *** Picon Support
+ 
+ In addition to the other methods of displaying an icon for the sender
+ of a message, MH-E can now display images from a picon directory. The
+ directory search path is found in the `mh-picon-directory-list'
+ variable. More documentation is found in the "facedb" sections in the
+ xfaces man page. [NOTE: need to make mh-picon-directory-list an option
+ and add xfaces facedb documentation to it.]
+ 
+ *** X-Image-URL Updates
+ 
+ Now support the use of `curl' and `fetch' as alternatives to `wget' to
+ obtain the image. The display of images are controlled with the
+ `mh-show-use-xface-flag' option while the `mh-fetch-x-image-url'
+ option controls how the images are fetched.
+ 
+ WARNING: There are security concerns with this feature. Please read
+ the documentation for these options carefully before changing the
+ default.
+ 
+ *** Updates to mh-identity-list
+ 
+ Note that the field names found in `mh-identity-list' that refer to
+ the fields in `mh-identity-handlers' have changed in an incompatible
+ way from 7.4.4. In general, the symbolic names now have a ":" prefix
+ to avoid collisions with header fields. Before starting Emacs, edit
+ your .emacs and insert ":" before "signature" if you have defined it.
+ 
+ You can change your attribution in replies with the new "Attribution
+ Verb" field, and you can set your default GPG user ID with the "GPG
+ key ID" field.
+ 
+ Signatures can now be read from the `mh-signature-file-name' variable,
+ or come from a function, in addition to a named file. If you write
+ your own function, variables that you can use include
+ `mh-signature-separator-regexp', `mh-signature-separator',
+ and `mh-signature-separator-p'.
+ 
+ The handling of these fields has been moved into a new
+ `mh-identity-handlers' option, an alist of fields (strings) and
+ handlers (functions). Strings are lowercase. Use ":signature" for
+ Signature and ":pgg-default-user-id" for GPG Key ID. The function
+ associated with the string "default" is used if no other functions are
+ appropriate. For this reason, don't name a header field "Default".
+ 
+ If you point your signature at a vCard file with a vcf suffix, then it
+ will be incorporated as a vCard body part (closes SF #802723).
+ 
+ *** Catchup Command
+ 
+ There is a new "F c (mh-catchup)" command that marks all unread
+ messages in the current folder as read.
+ 
+ *** Change Content-Type Renderer on the Fly in MH-Show Buffer
+ 
+ This has been implemented by adding the key binding "K e
+ (mh-display-with-external-viewer)". For inline text/html parts,
+ buttons aren't displayed by default. In that case use "K t
+ (mh-toggle-mime-buttons)" to display the button before viewing it with
+ an external browser (closes SF #839318).
+ 
+ *** Use which-func-mode to Display Folder in Index Mode
+ 
+ Turning on `which-func-mode' displays the folder name of the message
+ under the cursor in index folders (closes SF #855520).
+ 
+ *** Render Signature and vCard in Italics
+ 
+ This has been implemented.  Use `mh-show-signature-face' to customize
+ the face used (closes SF #802722).
+ 
+ *** New Print Map
+ 
+ There is now a keymap for the printing functions whose prefix is "P".
+ The command "l (mh-print-msg)" has been replaced with "P l". Other new
+ functions in this keymap include:
+ 
+     P A         mh-ps-print-toggle-mime
+     P C         mh-ps-print-toggle-color
+     P F         mh-ps-print-toggle-faces
+     P M         mh-ps-print-toggle-mime
+     P f         mh-ps-print-msg-file
+     P l         mh-print-msg
+     P p         mh-ps-print-msg
+     P s         mh-ps-print-msg-show
+ 
+ *** Draft Buffer Keymap Changes
+ 
+ The keymap in the draft buffer has been modified slightly. The old
+ anonymous ftp and tar composition commands have been reinstated and
+ letter signing and encrypting keymaps have been added.
+ 
+ The type of signing or encryption has been generalized so the method
+ is now an option rather than a part of the function's name. The option
+ is `mh-mml-method-default' and choices include PGP (MIME), PGP,
+ S/MIME, or none.

+ 
+ *** Speedbar: Highlight Folders With Unseen
+ 
+ The speedbar now renders the folders with unseen messages in boldface
+ which makes them easier to identify (closes SF #623369).
+ 
+ *** Quick Key Help
+ 
+ The "? (mh-help)" function now displays the help in its own buffer
+ called *MH-E Help* (closes SF #493740 and SF #656631).
+ 
+ *** New Startup File mh-e-autoloads.el
+ 
+ If you are installing MH-E yourself, then you can replace any
+ autoloads you may have with "(require 'mh-e-autoloads.el)". See the
+ README for details.
+ 
+ *** Glimpse Support Removed
+ 
+ Since glimpse isn't free, we cannot mention it. Glimpse has been
+ removed from the option `mh-indexer-choices' (closes SF #831276).
+ 
+ *** mh-msg-is-in-seq Update
+ 
+ Can now specify an alternate message number to "S s
+ (mh-msg-is-in-seq)" with a prefix argument.
+ 
+ ** New Variables in MH-E 7.4.80
+ 
+ Variables that have been added to MH-E that have not been discussed
+ elsewhere are listed here.
+ 
+ *** mail-citation-hook
+ 
+ Hook for modifying a citation just inserted in the mail buffer.
+ 
+ *** mh-alias-reloaded-hook
+ 
+ Invoked by `mh-alias-reload' after reloading aliases.
+ 
+ *** mh-auto-fields-prompt-flag
+ 
+ Non-nil means to prompt before sending if fields in
+ `mh-auto-fields-list' are inserted.
+ 
+ *** mh-default-folder-for-message-function
+ 
+ Function to select a default folder for refiling or `Fcc'.
+ 
+ *** mh-forward-hook
+ 
+ Invoked on the forwarded letter by "f (mh-forward)".
+ 
+ *** mh-invisible-header-fields-default
+ 
+ List of hidden header fields. The header fields listed in this option
+ are hidden, although you can check off any field that you would like
+ to see. Header fields that you would like to hide that aren't listed
+ can be added to the `mh-invisible-header-fields' option (closes SF
+ #752045).
+ 
+ The option `mh-visible-header-fields' has been deleted.
+ 
+ *** mh-junk-background
+ 
+ If on, spam programs are run in background. This used to be the
+ default behavior but this could overwhelm a system if many messages
+ were black- or whitelisted at once. The spam programs are now run in
+ the foreground, but this option can be used to put them back in the
+ background.
+ 
+ *** mh-signature-separator-flag
+ 
+ Non-nil means a signature separator should be inserted. It is not
+ recommended that you change this option since various mail user
+ agents, including MH-E, use the separator to present the signature
+ differently, and to suppress the signature when replying or yanking a
+ letter into a draft.
+ 
+ *** mh-variant
+ 
+ Specifies the variant used by MH-E. The default setting of this option
+ is `Auto-detect' which means that MH-E will automatically choose the
+ first of nmh, MH, or GNU mailutils that it finds in the directories
+ listed in `mh-path', `mh-sys-path', and `exec-path'. If, for example,
+ you have both nmh and mailutils installed and `mh-variant-in-use' was
+ initialized to nmh but you want to use mailutils, then you can set
+ this option to `mailutils'.
+ 
+ When this variable is changed, MH-E resets `mh-progs', `mh-lib',
+ `mh-lib-progs', `mh-flists-present-flag', and `mh-variant-in-use'
+ accordingly.
+ 
+ If you've set these variables in your .emacs, it is strongly suggested
+ that you comment them out. The MH detection code has been completely
+ rewritten and it is very likely that you no longer to set them and
+ their setting may confuse other MH-E settings.
+ 
+ ** Variables Deleted in MH-E
+ 
+ Variables that have been removed from MH-E that have not been
+ discussed elsewhere are listed here.
+ 
+ *** mh-alias-system-aliases
+ 
+ System definitions should not be a user option.
+ 
+ *** mh-junk-mail-folder
+ 
+ Since this variable can accept values other than folder names, it was
+ renamed to `mh-junk-disposition' to more accurately reflect the content.
+ 
+ ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.4.80
+ 
+ Many bugs were fixed in this version that aren't listed below.
+ 
+ *** mh-extract-rejected-mail Can't Do MIME (and Other Formats)
+ 
+ Now handles qmail and exim bounces (addresses SF #404965).
+ 
+ *** mh-rmail Hangs in XEmacs
+ 
+ We've determined that MH-E is incompatible with some versions of
+ XEmacs (21.5.9-21.5.16). More recent versions work fine. If you think
+ our list is too broad, please let us know which version of XEmacs you
+ are using (closes SF #644321).
+ 
+ *** Inconsistent Prompts
+ 
+ Prompt formats are now consistent throughout the application (closes
+ SF #730470).
+ 
+ *** Empty Shell Comments Confuse mh-mhn-directive-present-p
+ 
+ If you had a string that matched the regexp "^# $" in your draft, it
+ would cause an error. This has been fixed (closes SF #762458).
+ 
+ *** Quote Hashes When mhbuild Directives Used
+ 
+ A related bug, if you had empty shell comments but inserted your own
+ directives, you'd get another error from mhbuild. This has been fixed
+ by quoting the hash ("^# $") like this "##" before submitting to
+ mhbuild (closes SF #762464).
+ 
+ *** Inconsistent Usage in Scan Formatting Variables
+ 
+ The variables:
+ 
+     mh-note-cur
+     mh-note-deleted
+     mh-note-dist
+     mh-note-forw
+     mh-note-refiled
+     mh-note-repl
+     mh-note-seq
+ 
+ used to contain strings. Although only the first character was read,
+ the entire string would be inserted which may have caused problems.
+ These variables have been converted to character constants so that
+ only a single character can be inserted into the scan line (closes SF
+ #770772).
+ 
+ *** Bad Handling of Aliases That Conflict With Local User Names
+ 
+ If a user name existed both locally and in the aliases file, the local
+ user would be flashed, but the alias would be used when sending. This
+ has been fixed so that the user name that is flashed is the same as
+ the name that is sent (closes SF #772595).
+ 
+ *** Args out of range
+ 
+ In rare and non-reproducible circumstances, compilation sometimes
+ threw an "Args out of range" error. Nonetheless, this has been fixed
+ (closes SF #806577).
+ 
+ *** mh-forward hard-codes '-mime' Switch on nmh
+ 
+ Added new option `mh-compose-forward-as-mime-flag' that controls whether
+ messages are forwarded as MIME attachments (closes SF #827203).
+ 
+ *** Not Re-prompted to Sign After Pass Phrase Typo
+ 
+ If there were errors when sending a signed message (like getting the
+ pass phrase wrong), the MML markup remained in the draft buffer. The
+ draft buffer is now restored if there is an error (closes SF #839303).
+ 
+ *** Font-lock Gets Confused in MH-Letter Buffer
+ 
+ If a user manually moved the cursor to the end of the header field
+ separator line (by mouse click or keyboard navigation) and hit Enter
+ to start typing their message, any line in the body with a colon would
+ be fontified with a gray background. This has been fixed (closes SF
+ #855479).
+ 
+ *** mh-refile-msg Fails to Suggest Folder for Empty Message
+ 
+ If you received a message with an empty body from someone who is
+ listed in your aliases file, "o (mh-refile-msg)" failed to suggest the
+ correct folder. This has been fixed (closes SF #917096).
+ 
+ *** Error Visiting Folder With no Unseen Messages
+ 
+ If you visited a folder without unseen messages and the option "flist:
+ -noshowzero" is present in your ~/.mh_profile, you'd get an error. This
+ has been fixed (closes SF #933954).
