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. +- The default editor has been changed from 'vi' to 'prompter', to align with + historical practice and reduce packaging dependencies on external programs. +- A new -checkbase64 switch to mhfixmsg(1). +- inc(1)/msgchk(1) now support STARTTLS for the POP protocol. +- All TLS-supported protocols now will send the SNI (server name indicator) + TLS extension. +- A new mh-format function %(ordinal) has been implemented to output the + appropriate ordinal suffix for numbers. Example: "%(num 22)%(ordinal)" + will output "22nd". +- show and mhl now decode more addresses in header fields. +- Added warning from all programs that read the profile if the profile + contains a post entry, which is ignored, but does not contain a + postproc entry. In other words, if you get this warning and want + to suppress it, your options include: + 1) Remove your post profile entry. + 2) Make your post profile entry a comment by prepending it with the #: + comment indicator. + 3) Add a postproc entry that points to the post that you use. That can + be viewed with "mhparam postproc". +- scan(1) -file argument can be a Maildir directory. +----------------- +OBSOLETE FEATURES +----------------- ----------------------------- -OBSOLETE/DEPRECATED FEATURES ----------------------------- +- The MIME content cache functionality has been mostly non-functional since + the development on nmh, and consequently all of the content caching code + and related switches (-cache/-rcache/-wcache) have been removed. +- Support for generating and reassembling message/partial messags has been + removed; it seems that this has been broken since 1.5 and there is very + little support across MUAs. -- 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. -- 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. +------------------- +DEPRECATED FEATURES +------------------- + +- The generation and verification of Content-MD5 headers is no longer + performed. The -check and -nocheck switches to various nmh programs + that would control this functionality still exist, but are non-functional + and will be removed in the next release. --------- BUG FIXES --------- -- Replaced utilities that operate on pbm files with those that operate - on pnm files in etc/mhn.defaults [Bug #15152]. -- Removed obsolete BUGS section at end of rcvstore(1) man page [Bug #4361]. -- Fixed -nocc me doesn't account for Alternate-Mailboxes [Bug #36635]. -- Propagate Mail-Followup-To [Bug #5571]. -- "mark -sequence cur -delete all" now works for cur as well as any - other sequence, to allow clearing of the current message indication. +- Fixed bcc to work with sendmail/pipe, and better documented that dcc + doesn't work with it [Bug 55700]. +- An -attendee switch has been added to mhical(1), for use when more than one + (or zero) attendees match a user's mailbox. +- Fixed inc(1) and %(me) function escape to not obey Local-Mailbox profile + component. +- Fixed source charset in mhfixmsg textcharset verbose output. +- Fixed file descriptor leak in mhfixmsg when run on multiple input files. +- Fixed memory corruption in post(1) and inc(1) when using XOAUTH2, + with 4 or more entries in the oauth-authservice file.
