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 -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). -- The default Content-Transfer-Encoding for text parts is now 8bit. -- mhbuild(1) now supports a selectable Content-Transfer-Encoding - ----------------- 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 - 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. -- 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. -- Support for the undocumented and deprecated --enable-nmh-debug configure - flag has been removed. -- Support for encoding some characters designated as EBCDIC-unsafe - via the -ebcdicsafe and -noebcdicsafe switches to mhbuild has - been removed. -- The configure flag --with-pager has been removed; the default pager - is now hardcoded as "more". Users are still free to override the - default using the PAGER environment variable or entries in .mh_profile. -- The configure flag --with-editor has been removed; the fallback editor - if none is configured is "vi". -- The support for the undocumented NOPUBLICSEQ preprocessor definition - to disable public sequence support has been removed. -- Support for the -normalize and -nonormalize switches to the ali(1) and - ap(8) commands has been removed. -- "make install" no longer strips executables. Use "make install-strip" - instead. -- The environment variable MM_CHARSET to indicate the native character - set is no longer supported. The native character set will be solely - determined by the locale settings. -- Temporary files are stored in the first non-null location of - {MHTMPDIR environment variable, TMPDIR environment variable, MH Path}. - They are no longer be stored in the location specified by the TMP - environment variable. ------------------- DEPRECATED FEATURES ------------------- -- 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. -- msh(1) is deprecated and will be removed from the next release. -- Support in alias files for the the "*" address-group is obsolescent - and will be removed in a future 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. -- The first alias contained in a blind list is now expanded. The - mh-alias(5) man page was updated to show that blind lists must not - be terminated with, or contain, a trailing semicolon [Bug #15604]. -- Fixed sendfiles(1) to always provide a From: address. Also, updated - its switches. -- Fixed pick(1) to properly unfold multiple-line header fields by - removing newlines instead of replacing them with spaces [Bug #15215]. -- Removed the artificial limit of 1000 messages at a time for rmmproc. -- Fixed decoding of header fields when they contain a character that - can't be converted. -- post(8) -sasl now honours username in .netrc [Bug #23168]. whom(1), - send(1), inc(1), and msgchk(1) also benefit from this fix. And, nmh - now supports specification of any valid filename in place of - $HOME/.netrc. -- Added quoting of local part of invalid address in message being - replied to [Bug #26780]. -- Fix segmentation fauls for %(putlit) and %(zputlit) format escapes when - the "str" register was NULL. -- Encode and decode text MIME types with canonical line breaks properly.
