User-visible changes to mh-e in version 4.0 from 3.8
|
|
|
|
Note: there are many internal changes to mh-e in this release. If you
|
|
have the previous version loaded into your Emacs, you will probably not
|
|
be able to load this version on top of it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
New Features in mh-e
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Background folder collection. The first time you are prompted for a
|
|
folder, you must wait while mh-e collects the names of all existing
|
|
folders. Now however, if you abort, collecting will continue in the
|
|
background, and you can do something else in Emacs until the collection
|
|
completes. Normally, mh-e will begin collecting folders names in the
|
|
background when you first load it; you can disable this feature by
|
|
setting `mh-auto-folder-collect' to nil.
|
|
|
|
There is support for composing MIME messages using the `mhn' program
|
|
from MH 6.8. See the documentation string for mh-edit-mhn. (While
|
|
composing a letter, type `C-h k C-c C-e'.) See also mhn(1). There is
|
|
as yet no support for reading MIME messages.
|
|
|
|
`mh-show', typically on `.', repositions to the start of the message if
|
|
the message is already visible. It used to do nothing in this case.
|
|
|
|
The function `mh-unshar-msg' is renamed `mh-store-msg'. It now does
|
|
uudecoding, too. Someday it should do MIME. It remembers the last
|
|
directory you used and offers it as the default for next time.
|
|
|
|
New function `mh-header-display', on `,', displays the message with all
|
|
headers, including those normally not displayed. Type `.' to display
|
|
the message normally again.
|
|
|
|
New function `mh-list-sequences' lists the sequences in use in the
|
|
current folder.
|
|
|
|
New function `mh-version' displays version information about MH and
|
|
mh-e. Please use the output in bug reports.
|
|
|
|
`mh-quit' now burys the folder buffer and show buffer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
New mh-e hooks and customization variables
|
|
==========================================
|
|
|
|
`mh-pick-mode-hook': new hook called by new mode `mh-pick-mode'. The
|
|
pick buffer didn't used to have its own mode. Another advantage of
|
|
`mh-pick-mode' is that `C-h m' works in the pick buffer.
|
|
|
|
`mail-citation-hook': new variable for supercite.
|
|
|
|
`mh-refile-msg-hook': new hook called by `mh-refile-msg' (and
|
|
`mh-refile-or-write-again' when refiling).
|
|
|
|
`mh-msg-folder-hook': new hook used by `mh-refile-msg' and `mh-to-fcc'
|
|
to provide a default folder for user prompt.
|
|
|
|
`mh-show-hook': new hook called by `mh-show'.
|
|
|
|
`mh-delete-msg-hook': new hook called by `mh-delete-msg'.
|
|
|
|
`mh-show-mode-hook': new hook called by new mode `mh-show-mode' for
|
|
`show-' buffers.
|
|
|
|
`mh-comp-formfile': new variable so can customize `components' file.
|
|
|
|
`mh-sortm-args': new variable, a list of extra arguments to be passed to
|
|
sortm by `mh-sort-folder'. Give an argument to `mh-sort-folder' to
|
|
suppress this behavior.
|
|
|
|
`mh-send-prog': new variable so can customize name of `send' program in
|
|
case of name conflicts.
|
|
|
|
`mh-scan-prog': new variable so can customize name of `scan' program to
|
|
generate custom effects.
|
|
|
|
`mh-inc-prog': new variable so can customize name of `inc' program to do
|
|
fancy management of incoming messages.
|
|
|
|
`mh-forwarded-letter-subject': new function used by `mh-forward' to
|
|
compute the Subject line of the new message. It is a small function
|
|
which can be replaced by the user for customization. Uses the new
|
|
variable `mh-forward-subject-format', which allows some simple
|
|
customizations without rewriting even `mh-forwarded-letter-subject'.
|
|
|
|
`mh-new-draft-cleaned-headers': new variable, header lines removed by
|
|
`mh-edit-again' and `mh-extract-rejected-mail' before offering a message
|
|
as a new draft.
|
|
|
|
`mh-signature-file-name': new variable used by `mh-insert-signature' to
|
|
so can customize name of the file to insert.
|
|
|
|
`mh-read-address': new function called to read all To: and Cc:
|
|
addresses.
|
|
|
|
`mh-msg-folder-hook': new hook used by `mh-refile-msg' and `mh-to-fcc'
|
|
to provide a default folder for user prompt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Key binding changes in mh-e
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
`,' runs new function `mh-header-display'. It is like `.' but it
|
|
displays *all* the headers.
|
|
|
|
`M-#' runs the new function `mh-delete-seq'. One used to have to type
|
|
`C-u M-%' to delete a sequence.
|
|
|
|
`<' no longer does `mh-first-msg', but `M->' now does `mh-last-msg'.
|
|
This allows first and last to be consistent (`>' was taken) and is more
|
|
likely to be discovered by chance anyway.
|
|
|
|
`M-d' runs `mh-redistribute', `r' runs `mh-reply' (on the theory that
|
|
the more commonly used function should be easier to type, and the
|
|
obscure action of redistributing can be harder to type).
|
|
|
|
`M-o' changed to `C-o' (`mh-write-msg-to-file'). It was interfering
|
|
with arrow keys for some people.
|
|
|
|
`M-n' now runs `mh-store-msg' (formerly `mh-unshar-msg').
|
|
|
|
`b' no longer runs `mh-quit'; use `q' instead. `b' may be used in a
|
|
future version for something else.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Minor improvements to mh-e
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
The mh-e code is now divided into multiple Emacs Lisp files, so it
|
|
starts up faster because Emacs doesn't have to load all of it at once.
|
|
(This change also makes it easier for the maintainer to manage things.)
|
|
|
|
When searching for the directory containing the MH programs, search the
|
|
user's PATH in addition to the built-in directories, to increase the
|
|
chance of finding the MH programs.
|
|
|
|
The subject for a forwarded message no longer has ugly square brackets
|
|
around it.
|
|
|
|
The name of the folder is no longer appears twice in the show buffer
|
|
mode line.
|
|
|
|
When typing a folder name in the minibuffer, parent folders complete to
|
|
the trailing slash (/), for easier typing of subfolders.
|
|
|
|
The folder buffer mode name changed from `mh-e scan' or `mh-e show' to
|
|
`MH-Folder', which makes the hook name easier to guess. Added
|
|
`mh-showing' to `minor-mode-alist' so there is still an indication in
|
|
the mode line of whether messages will be shown automatically.
|
|
|
|
`mh-rename-seq' does completion on the old sequence name.
|
|
|
|
If called by a user who has never used MH on this system before, mh-e
|
|
runs the MH program `install-mh' to get them set up.
|
|
|
|
Undo history for previous messages is not kept to avoid wasting memory.
|
|
|
|
The internal temp buffer used by mh-e has `buffer-offer-save' explicitly
|
|
nil. This change benefits people who change the `buffer-offer-save'
|
|
default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes to mh-e
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
`mh-to-field': don't bomb if no To: field.
|
|
|
|
`mh-get-new-mail': restore annotations, e.g., cur, even if no new mail.
|
|
|
|
`mh-rename-seq': verify that the new seq name was accepted by `mark'
|
|
before updating state.
|
|
|
|
`mh-internal-seq': the Previous sequence is not notated, since it would
|
|
notate everything scanned.
|
|
|
|
`mh-read-draft': don't call `find-file-noselect' so an `auto-mode-alist'
|
|
doesn't trigger `mh-letter-mode-hook' twice. Faster, too.
|
|
|
|
`mh-show': If user moves onto a message that doesn't exist, don't leave
|
|
the cursor in the show pane.
|
|
|
|
`mh-delete-scan-msgs': use `equal', not `=', on the result of
|
|
`mh-get-msg-num', since it may be nil.
|
|
|
|
`mh-get-field': do anchored search so searching for `reply-to:' doesn't
|
|
find `in-reply-to:'.
|
|
|
|
`mh-widen': do nothing if not narrowed.
|
|
|
|
`mh-clean-message-header': find end of headers even if no body.
|
|
|
