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. +------------ +NEW FEATURES +------------ + +- 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. + +----------------- +OBSOLETE 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. + +------------------- +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 +--------- + +- 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.
