-- All nmh programs will now warn about multiple profile entries for
- the same non-null, non-comment component. In previous versions, all
- but the first were silently ignored.
-- mhmail now supports all post(8) options, or optionally can use
- send(1) with all of its options. Its formerly undocumented -resent
- switch has been documented. And it has new -attach, -headerfield,
- and -send/-nosend switches.
-- Default to flock() locking on OpenBSD and Darwin.
-- Added -directives support to mhbuild(1) to control whether or not
- mhbuild will honor MIME directives by default. And added support
- for special #on/#off/#pop directives to control the MIME directive
- processing state.
-- Added -messageid switch to send(1) and post(8). This allows
- selection of the style to use for generated Message-ID and
- Content-ID header fields. The default localname style is
- pid.time@localname, where time is in seconds, and matches previous
- behavior. The random style replaces the localname with some
- (pseudo)random bytes and uses microsecond-resolution time.
-- Added -clobber switch to mhstore(1) to control overwriting of
- existing files.
-- Added -noall/-all switches to sortm(1). sortm -noall requires
- a messages argument.
-- $PAGER overrides the compiled-in default pager command.
-- Added etc/scan.highlighted format file, as an example of how to
- highlight/colorize the output of scan(1).
-- inc(1) now supports a -port switch to specify the port used by the
- POP server.
-- pick(1) now decodes MIME-encoded header fields before searching.
-- The VISUAL and EDITOR environment variables are now supported as fallbacks
- if the user does not configure an editor entry in their profile.
-- The format engine (mh_format(5)) now properly accounts for multibyte
- characters when accounting for column widths.
-- burst(1) now can burst MIME-formatted digests (messages that contain
- message/rfc822 parts instead of messages formatted with RFC 934).
-- All proc entries (showproc, moreproc, etc) can now accept entries that
- contain spaces and shell metacharacters. If found, such entries will
- either be space-splitted or processed by /bin/sh.
-- A new program, fmttest(1) is included to help debug format files
-- mhshow/mhstore now have support for RFC-2017 (access-type=url) for
- external message bodies.

-----------------------------
-OBSOLETE/DEPRECATED FEATURES
-----------------------------
-
-- Changed exit status of each nmh command's -version and -help
- switches from 1 to 0.
-- The following environment variables were deprecated in nmh 1.5
- and removed from this release:
- MHPOPDEBUG (use -snoop command line switch instead)
- MM_NOASK (use -nolist and -nopause command line switches instead)
- NOMHNPROC (use -nocheckmime command line switch instead)
- FACEPROC (undocumented faceproc feature removed)
-- Changed repl and dist default to -noatfile. The default of -atfile
- was deprecated in nmh 1.5. If there are no requests to maintain
- -atfile, it will be removed in the future.
-- The undocumented -queue switch to mhmail has been removed.
-- The undocumented -queue switch to post is deprecated/obsolete
- and will be removed in the next release. It supports the
- SMTP XQUE verb, which is obsolete according to
- http://smtpfilter.sourceforge.net/esmtp.html
-- conflict(8) is deprecated and will be removed from the next release.
-- mhtest(8) is deprecated and will be removed from the next release.
-- msh(1) is deprecated and will be removed from the next release.
-- spost(8) has been merged into post(8). Its functionality is enabled
- by selecting the sendmail/pipe mail transport method, described in
- the mh-tailor(5) man page. The spost -noalias, -backup/-nobackup,
- -push/-nopush, and -remove/-noremove switches are not supported by
- post. Note that spost did not support -whom or Dcc, and neither
- does post when using sendmail/pipe. And spost would expand blind
- aliases and send them in the message; post with sendmail/pipe
- refuses to do that. For backward compatibility, spost has been
- replaced by a simple shell script that exec's post -mts
- sendmail/pipe.
-- Support for the undocumented and deprecated --enable-nmh-debug configure
- flag has been removed.
-- Support for encoding some characters designated as EBCDIC-unsafe
- via the -ebcdicsafe and -noebcdicsafe switches to mhbuild has
- been removed.
-- The configure flag --with-pager has been removed; the default pager
- is now hardcoded as "more". Users are still free to override the
- default using the PAGER environment variable or entries in .mh_profile.
-- The configure flag --with-editor has been removed; the fallback editor
- if none is configured is "vi".
