That amount is limited by internal - buffers. -- If a component has trailing whitespace, e.g., body:component="> ", - mhl now trims that whitespace off when filtering blank text lines. -- An "rtrim" flag has been added to mhl to remove any trailing - whitespace from filtered text lines. A corresponding "nortrim" flag - has also been added. -- The default locations for configuration files and suppoooort binaries - have been changed. Configuration files now install into ${sysconfdir}/nmh, - and support binaries are placed in ${libexecdir}/nmh. If you are upgrading - an existing installation you should look for old configuration files in - ${sysconfdir} and merge any local customizations into the new files in - ${sysconfdir}/nmh, then remove the old files. ${libdir} will also contain - obsolete support programs that should be removed. -- When building from source, configure will derive ${prefix} from an existing - nmh installation if it finds one in your $PATH. -- Added getmymbox and getmyaddr mh-format(5) function escapes. -- New -[no]changecur, -fixtype, -decodetypes, and -[no]crlflinebreaks switches - have been added to mhfixmsg(1). -- mhfixmsg now removes an extraneous trailing semicolon from header - parameter lists. -- Added -convertargs switch to repl(1), to pass arguments to programs - specified in the user's profile or mhn.defaults to convert message - content. -- Added mhical(1), to display, reply to, and cancel iCalendar (RFC 5545) - event requests. -- added multiply format function -- "mhparam bindir" prints the path to the directory containing the public - executables (${bindir}). -- new "-prefer" switch for mhshow (and mhlist and mhshow), to allow specifying - the preferred content types to show, if present in a multipart alternative. -- mh-format now has %(kilo) and %(kibi) functions, to allow printing - numbers as, for example, "10K", or "2.3Mi" -- Support for the -sendmail flag to send/post to change the sendmail - binary when using the sendmail/pipe MTS. -- Added support to send(1) to specify switches to post(1) based on address or - domain name in From: header line in message draft. -- post(8) -snoop now attempts to decode base64-encoded SMTP traffic. -- folder(1) -nocreate now prints a warning message for a non-existent folder. -- mhfixmsg(1) now allows -decodetext binary, though 8bit is still the default. -- inc(1) and msgchk(1) now support TLS encryption natively. -- Support for SMTPUTF8 (RFC 6531) has been added. mhshow(1) already supported - RFC 6532, assuming all 8-bit message header field bodies are UTF-8 and use - of a UTF-8 locale. -- mhfixmsg now replaces RFC 2047 encoding with RFC 2231 encoding of name and - filename parameters in Content-Type and Content-Disposition headers, - respectively. -- If a message body contains 8-bit bytes, post(8) uses SMTP 8BITMIME if the - server supports it. If not, post fails with a message to the user to - encode the message for 7-bit transport. -- Added welcome message when nmh detects that its version changed. -- Fewer lseek(2)s will be used when reading headers in the common case. -- Single-character headers can be reliably formatted, etc., instead of - apparently being missing. -- ./configure's --enable-debug has been removed; it did nothing. -- configure now defaults to enabling each of TLS and Cyrus SASL if the - necessary headers and libraries are found. -- Moved build_nmh to top-level directory. +- The default editor has been changed from 'vi' to 'prompter', to align with + historical practice and reduce packaging dependencies on external programs. ----------------- OBSOLETE FEATURES ----------------- -- The undocumented -queue switch to post was deprecated in nmh 1.6, and was - removed in this release. -- conflict(8) was deprecated in nmh 1.6, and was removed in this release. -- mhtest(8) was deprecated in nmh 1.6, and was removed in this release. -- msh(1) was deprecated in nmh 1.6, and was removed in this release. -- Support in alias files for the the "*" address-group (everyone) was - deprecated in nmh 1.6, and was removed in this release. - ------------------- DEPRECATED FEATURES ------------------- -- Support for the MHPDEBUG environment variable is deprecated and will be - removed from a future nmh release. Instead, use the -debug switch to pick. -- With the move of support binaries from ${libdir} to ${libexecdir}/nmh, the - mostly undocumented 'libdir' mhparam(1) component has been replaced by a - new 'libexecdir' component. 'libdir' will be removed in a future release. - --------- BUG FIXES --------- -- The format scanner no longer subtracts 1 from the width. This has the - effect of no longer counting the trailing newline in the output of - scan(1), inc(1), and the other programs that rely on the format scanner. -- The first character of some very short (less than 4 characters) message - bodies is no longer dropped. -- mhfixmsg now adds a Content-Transfer-Encoding header at the message level, - if needed after decoding text parts. -- mhbuild now checks whether all text parts need a Content-Transfer-Encoding - header, not just those with a character set not specified.
