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 -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. +- 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. +- 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). ----------------------------- -OBSOLETE/DEPRECATED FEATURES ----------------------------- - +----------------- +OBSOLETE 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 @@ -33,12 +88,48 @@ OBSOLETE/DEPRECATED FEATURES was deprecated in nmh 1.5.

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.
