(pseudo)random bytes and uses microsecond-resolution time.
- Added -clobber switch to mhstore(1) to control overwriting of
existing files.
+- Added -outfile switch to mhstore(1).
- Added -noall/-all switches to sortm(1). sortm -noall requires
a messages argument.
- $PAGER overrides the compiled-in default pager command.
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.
+- Added -retainsequences switch to refile(1).
+- A new program, mhfixmsg(1), is included to rewrite MIME messages with
+ various transformations.
+- Added -[no]rmmproc switches to rmm(1).
+- Added support for Content-Disposition header (RFC 2183) to mhstore(1)
+ and mhn(1) when used with -auto.
+- All nmh commands now support transactional locking for sequence files.
+- There is no longer a per-folder maximum number of sequences.
+- For the SMTP MTA TLS can now be negotiated at the beginning of the
+ connection with the -initialtls switch.
+- Messages can now be selected using a relative offset from some other
+ message, or from the start or end of a sequence. See mh-sequences(5).
+- The -changecur and -nochangecur switches have been added to mhlist(1).
+- mhbuild(1) can now encode 8-bit message headers using RFC-2047 encoding
+ rules.
+- The whatnow(1) attach feature will determine the content type of an
+ attachment using a program such as file --mime-type, if available at
+ configuration time. If not, it will use mhshow-suffix- entries as
+ before. The -v switch to attach causes it to display the mhbuild
+ directive that send(1) will use.
+- mhbuild(1) now supports the -auto/-noauto flags (to be used by send(1)
+ when invoking mhbuild automatically).
+- mhbuild(1) now is automatically run by send, to insure that all outgoing
+ messages have proper MIME formatting.
+- A new header, "Attach", is supported by mhbuild; it is used to replace
+ previous functionality (which by default used a header named
+ Nmh-Attachment).
+- The default Content-Transfer-Encoding for text parts is now 8bit.
+- mhbuild(1) now supports a selectable Content-Transfer-Encoding
+- If nmh was configured with iconv(3) support, mhshow will convert, if
+ necessary, the charset of text/plain content to match the user's
+ locale setting.
+- Added support for %{charset} display string escape to mhshow(1).
+- The MIME parsing and generating routines now support RFC 2231 extended
+ parameter information.
+- mh-mime(7) now provides an introduction to nmh's MIME handling.
