Bill Wohler — 2008-09-21T18:24:10

The MH-E manual for MH-E 8.1 notes that forwarded MIME messages are now inline, describes the new function `mh-show-preferred-alternative' and new hook `mh-annotate-msg-hook', and adds documentation for the `browse-url-at-mouse' key binding.

Bill Wohler — 2008-08-24T21:03:34

Project home page at: http://mh-e.sourceforge.net/. * Changes in MH-E 8.1 Version 8.1 fixes some issues with forwarding messages, respects the MH environment variable, adds the abilities to use aliases with GPG and show HTML even though it is discouraged. A new hook, `mh-annotate-msg-hook', has been added. ** New Features in MH-E 8.1 *** Showing HTML When Text Is the Preferred Alternative The `:' (`mh-show-preferred-alternative') function displays the message with the default preferred alternative. This is as if `mm-discouraged-alternatives' was set to nil (closes SF #1777321). ** New Variables in MH-E 8.1 *** mh-annotate-msg-hook The `mh-annotate-msg-hook' hook is run whenever a message is sent and after the scan lines and message are annotated. Hook functions can access the current folder name with `mh-current-folder' and obtain the message numbers of the annotated messages with `mh-annotate-list' (closes SF #2032269). ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.1 *** Can't Use Aliases with GPG GPG requires e-mail a

Beta wiki offering

Bill Wohler — 2007-03-20T05:39:21

SourceForge is offering a beta wiki program. I've signed up and turned it on. Please go to http://mh-e.wiki.sourceforge.net/ and check it out. Rather than post, "I have an idea", just add a page for it and link to it from the home page for now. It looks like there is a discussion forum per page, so discussion can happen right there on the page. I have a few ideas, but I'll hold back for a while and see what you folks do with a blank page ;-). If you run into problems or have any feedback, please share it with us at mh-e-users< at >lists.sourceforge.net; I'll summarize on the wiki beta mailing list if the issue hasn't already been raised. The mailing list is sitedocs-wikibeta< at >lists.sourceforge.net, by the way.

Bill Wohler — 2006-11-13T06:45:58

The MH-E manual for MH-E 8.0.3 adds documentation for the options `read-mail-command' and `mm-discouraged-alternatives'. In addition, adding an MH directory to PATH has been added to the spam filter examples.

MH-E 8.0.3 released

Bill Wohler — 2006-11-13T06:43:37

Project home page at: http://mh-e.sourceforge.net/. Version 8.0.3 fixes errors in sending messages and in running spam filter commands in certain circumstances. ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.0.3 *** mh-send-args Cannot Be nil If `mh-send-uses-spost-flag' was set, an error would prevent the sending of messages. This has been fixed (closes SF #1564742). *** Missing Quotes in sa-learn Command Line This has been fixed (closes SF #1565460). *** Errors Associated with mh-junk-background The Spamassassin filter commands were used inconsistently and incorrectly; if `mh-junk-background' were nil, not all of the updating would happen correctly. In the other back-ends such as bogofilter and SpamProbe, a value of t for `mh-junk-background' would cause the commands associated with these filters to fail. These problems have been fixed (closes SF #1594802).

MH-E 8.0.2 released

Bill Wohler — 2006-07-04T03:07:21

Project home page at: http://mh-e.sourceforge.net/. * Changes in MH-E 8.0.2 Version 8.0.2 fixes the tool bar and `F n' on XEmacs, and `K a' on GNU mailutils. ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.0.2 *** Tool Bar Not Displayed in XEmacs The MH-E tool bar didn't show up in XEmacs; now it does. Thanks to Ted Phelps gnusto.com> (closes SF #1506846). *** mh-mime-save-parts Assumes -store Default It was assumed that -store was the default for both mhn and mhstore. This has been fixed by using -store except when using nmh. Thanks to Sergey Poznyakoff Mirddin.farlep.net> (closes SF #1513140). *** F-n Doesn't Work The fix for SF #1499712 broke `F n' (`mh-index-new-messages') on XEmacs since a regular expression that XEmacs could not handle was added. This regexp has been fixed (closes SF #1514424).

MH-E manual 8.0.1 released

Bill Wohler — 2006-06-21T19:02:19

Project home page at: http://mh-e.sourceforge.net/. The MH-E manual for MH-E 8.0.1 contains a small update to the prerequisites: GNU mailutils 1.0 or higher is now required.

MH-E 8.0 released

Bill Wohler — 2006-06-21T19:01:48

Project home page at: http://mh-e.sourceforge.net/. * Changes in MH-E 8.0.1 Version 8.0.1 works around a couple of bugs in GNU mailutils, spost, and Windows. MH-E now requires the use of version 1.0 of mailutils due to a bug in the folder command. ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.0.1 *** Infinite Loop When Searching (mailutils) The GNU mailutils folder command displays output when a folder doesn't exist. MH-E didn't expect this and responded with an infinite loop during searches. While this bug has since been fixed in mailutils, MH-E has been modified to work anyway (closes SF #1499712). *** spost Doesn't Have -msgid or -mime Flags The post replacement spost does not support the -msgid or -mime flags. A new variable `mh-send-uses-spost-flag' was added to control the use of these flags (closes SF #1486726). *** <2> in Search Folders Illegal in Windows The <2> suffix to the search folder names contain illegal filename characters in Windows. These cause searches to fail on Windows. This has been fixed by changin

Announcing MH at SourceForge and update to MH book

Jerry Peek — 2006-06-01T19:09:59

Last summer, Bill Wohler, John Romine, and I decided that MH's existence at the University of California, Irvine, had become tenuous since John left UCI's ICS department. We decided to move the MH archive and book to SourceForge. MH's new home is http://rand-mh.sourceforge.net/. (We couldn't get just "mh" because SourceForge won't allow names that short.) Bill has done most of the moving and reorganizing... thanks, Bill! ------ THE BOOK: is now at http://rand-mh.sourceforge.net/book/. Bill took this opportunity to rework the look and feel and navigation. Now that most of us don't have slow Internet access, there's a single large table of contents (on the book's home page) and a single index. There's also a Google site search (though it may be a month or two before all of the pages have been spidered). If you want to contribute, please join rand-mh-devel< at >lists.sourceforge.net [1]. One of us can make you a developer. It would be great for one of the MH mailutils developers to embellish the book if ne

"SourceForge.net Team": SourceForge.net mailing list service upgrade (Mailman)

Bill Wohler — 2006-05-24T00:50:21

Looks like SourceForge has implemented one of my feature requests. This upgrade will make several things easier for me as list maintainer, so I welcome it. I imagine you shouldn't notice anything during the transition period, but do be aware of it, and please let me know if you notice anything unusual with respect to the mailing lists.

MH-E 8.0 released

Bill Wohler — 2006-05-06T18:21:11

Project home page at: http://mh-e.sourceforge.net/. * Changes in MH-E 8.0 Version 8.0 supports GNU mailutils, S/MIME, picons, which-func-mode, sports an improved interface for hiding header fields, improves upon the MH variant detection, improves folder completion, makes the pick search equivalent to the other types of searches, spruces up the tool bar, creates the correct MIME type when including OpenOffice documents, works on a Mac, adds colors to buttons for signed or encrypted messages, incorporates new features introduced in Emacs 22.1, fixes a bunch of bugs, and best of all, comes with an updated manual! Internally, MH-E now sports a new software organization which will help future maintainability. As a side-effect, the number of XEmacs compilation warnings has plummeted from hundreds to just three. CVS users will notice that MH-E has been migrated from the CVS repository from SourceForge to Savannah (but only for those files that were already part of Emacs). As a result, the location of MH-E in the

MH-E 8.0 manual released

Bill Wohler — 2006-05-06T18:12:59

After three years in the making, I am extremely pleased to announce that the MH-E manual for MH-E 8.0 is finally finished; the manual has been completely reorganized, and has been updated with all of the changes and new features introduced since version 5. Screenshots have been updated for Emacs 22, Starting with this release, I am now setting the version number of the manual to correspond to the version of the software that it represents. This should make it easier for users to correlate the manual with the software version, and is more in keeping with the versioning I see in the Debian GNU/Linux distribution for example. The CVS repository for mh-e.texi was moved from SourceForge to Savannah (CVS Emacs), but that change should be transparent. Check out this package (from SourceForge) and run make to get and build the Info and/or HTML yourself. You can also access the manual online via "The MH-E Manual" link on our home page; both HTML and PDF versions are available there. Read on for more details.

MH-E 7.95 released

Project home page at: http://mh-e.sourceforge.net/. * Changes in MH-E 7.95 Version 7.95, the second 8.0 release candidate, fixes a single bug. It would be good to check this version ASAP since the Emacs pretest is coming in days: if no showstopper problems are found in this version it will be promoted to 8.0 before the pretest. Thanks for your help! ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.95 *** Folder Completion Fails in fcc: Field This has been fixed (closes SF #1476270).

MH-E manual 7.94 released

Bill Wohler — 2006-04-22T00:37:48

This is the third draft of the MH-E manual for MH-E 8.0; the CVS repository for mh-e.texi was moved from SourceForge to Savannah (CVS Emacs), URLs have been fixed, screenshots have been updated for Emacs 22, the nodes Replying, Getting Started, Sending Mail Tour, and Folders were either fixed or updated, the Makefile can now build a single HTML page and back up the CVS files at Savannah, and the README has a new section for checking out the manual from CVS.

Project home page at: http://mh-e.sourceforge.net/. * Changes in MH-E 7.94 Version 7.94, the first 8.0 release candidate, fixes a bunch of bugs, incorporates new features introduced in Emacs 22.1, improves folder completion, and spruces up the tool bar. ** New Features in MH-E 7.94 *** Add :package-version Keyword to Options This `defcustom', `defgroup', and `defface' keyword was introduced in Emacs 22.1. MH-E has been extended to take advantage of it. With this keyword, you can now use `M-x customize-changed-options' to see what options in MH-E have changed between versions of Emacs. In a future version of Emacs, you'll be able to see changes between MH-E versions as well (closes SF #1452724). ** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.94 *** mhparam -components Fails on mailutils This error prevented MH-E from loading when using GNU mailutils. GNU mailutils drops the `s' in this argument, so we did too since -component still works in nmh and MH (closes SF #1446985). *** "/ s" Still Has Problems With []'d Mail On XEm

mh-e.sourceforge.net update

Bill Wohler — 2006-02-27T07:30:56

I finally got around to replacing the table layouts with divs and moving the menus from the various files into PHP functions in a single file. Ideally, you won't notice a thing (other than faster rendering since the files are smaller), but it'll make it easier for us to update the web site. I couldn't resist sprucing up the logo a little bit, as well as the Credits page. I also created a manual page with pointers to help as well as the HTML and PDF versions of the manual. Please let me know if you find any problems with my changes.

PDF of manual available

Bill Wohler — 2006-02-26T02:14:08

Hey folks, Thanks to a tip from David Arnold, we can produce a PDF of the manual. If you have the release, you can run "texi2dvi -p mh-e.texi" twice (in order to create the table of contents and fix the cross-references). I've also put it up at: http://mh-e.sourceforge.net/manual/mh-e.pdf

MH-E manual 7.92 released

Bill Wohler — 2006-02-25T20:05:30

After three years in the making, I am extremely pleased to announce that the first draft of the MH-E manual for MH-E 8.0 is finally ready for review; the manual has been completely reorganized, and has been updated with all of the changes and new features introduced since version 5.

This should make it easier for users to correlate the manual with the software version, and is more in keeping with the versioning I see in the Debian GNU/Linux distribution for example. Since this is the first draft, I encourage all of you to read it and provide any feedback you can. I welcome everything from the minutiae of spelling and grammar nits to sweeping suggestions for organization. Does the order make sense? Are there too many chapters and should some of the chapters be subsections of other chapters? Does the manual answer all the questions you have? Are there places where an

MH-E 7.92 released

Bill Wohler — 2006-02-18T23:45:51

Project home page at: http://mh-e.sourceforge.net/. Version 7.92, the third 8.0 beta release, removes the "sed -i" in the Makefile (SF #1432060), tunes the setting of `mh-image-load-path', works around systems that do not have face inheritance, fixes several issues with searching on XEmacs, and creates the correct MIME type when including OpenOffice documents.
