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. -- $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. +----------------- +OBSOLETE FEATURES +----------------- - ----------------------------- -OBSOLETE/DEPRECATED 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. -- 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. -- 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". +------------------- +DEPRECATED FEATURES +------------------- --------- 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.
