-* Changes in MH-E 7.95
-
-Version 7.95, the second 8.0 release candidate, fixes a single bug.
-It would be good to check this version ASAP since the Emacs pretest is
-coming in days: if no showstopper problems are found in this version
-it will be promoted to 8.0 before the pretest. Thanks for your help!

-** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.95
-
-*** Folder Completion Fails in fcc: Field
+* Changes in MH-E 8.0
+
+Version 8.0 supports GNU mailutils, S/MIME, picons, which-func-mode,
+sports an improved interface for hiding header fields, improves upon
+the MH variant detection, improves folder completion, makes the pick
+search equivalent to the other types of searches, spruces up the tool
+bar, creates the correct MIME type when including OpenOffice
+documents, works on a Mac, adds colors to buttons for signed or
+encrypted messages, incorporates new features introduced in
+Emacs 22.1, fixes a bunch of bugs, and best of all, comes with an
+updated manual!
+
+Internally, MH-E now sports a new software organization which will
+help future maintainability. As a side-effect, the number of XEmacs
+compilation warnings has plummeted from hundreds to just three. CVS
+users will notice that MH-E has been migrated from the CVS repository
+from SourceForge to Savannah (but only for those files that were
+already part of Emacs). As a result, the location of MH-E in the
+load-path has changed, and mh-e-autoloads.el was renamed to
+mh-autoloads.el. See section INSTALL in the README for details. While
+this migration will benefit maintainers, it will also benefit users:
+CVS Emacs users will not have to check out MH-E separately and welcome
+faster MH-E updates, and CVS MH-E users will welcome faster MH-E
+updates from Emacs developers. Read section CVS MH-E INSTALL in the
+README for details.
-This has been fixed (closes SF #1476270).
+While not related to this release, the MH-E mailing lists are now
+gatewayed at gmane.org (closes SF #979308).
-* Changes in MH-E 7.94
+If you want to see the release notes for the alpha and beta releases
+leading up this release, please see:
-Version 7.94, the first 8.0 release candidate, fixes a bunch of bugs,
-incorporates new features introduced in Emacs 22.1, improves folder
-completion, and spruces up the tool bar.

-** New Features in MH-E 7.94
+\f
-*** Add :package-version Keyword to Options
+** New Features in MH-E 8.0
-This `defcustom', `defgroup', and `defface' keyword was introduced in
-Emacs 22.1. MH-E has been extended to take advantage of it. With this
-keyword, you can now use `M-x customize-changed-options' to see what
-options in MH-E have changed between versions of Emacs. In a future
-version of Emacs, you'll be able to see changes between MH-E versions
-as well (closes SF #1452724).
+*** GNU mailutils Support
-** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.94
+MH-E now supports GNU mailutils 0.4 and higher versions.
-*** mhparam -components Fails on mailutils
+*** S/MIME Support
-This error prevented MH-E from loading when using GNU mailutils. GNU
-mailutils drops the `s' in this argument, so we did too since
--component still works in nmh and MH (closes SF #1446985).
+MH-E now supports S/MIME using Gnus 5.10.6 or higher.
-*** "/ s" Still Has Problems With []'d Mail
+*** Picon Support
-On XEmacs, subjects that had special characters would prevent `/ s'
-from narrowing to the given subject. These characters are now quoted
-correctly in XEmacs (closes SF #1447598).
+In addition to the other methods of displaying an icon for the sender
+of a message, MH-E can now display images from a picon directory. The
+directory search path is found in the `mh-picon-directory-list'
+variable. More documentation is found in the "facedb" sections in the
+xfaces man page.
-*** Incorrect Example in mh-folder-list Docstring
+*** Catchup Command
-This has been fixed (closes SF #1448498).
+There is a new `F c' (`mh-catchup') command that marks all unread
+messages in the current folder as read.
-*** Variable mh-send-args Is a String, Not a List
+*** Use which-func-mode to Display Folder in Index Mode
-This was causing errors when sending under GNU mailutils. The internal
-variable `mh-send-args' is now a list which fixes the problem (closes
-SF #1448604).
+Turning on `which-func-mode' displays the folder name of the message
+under the cursor in index folders (closes SF #855520).
-*** Update Icons
+*** Quick Key Help
-Most of the tool bar icons have been replaced by GTK or GNOME 2 icons
-(closes SF #1452715).
+The `?' (`mh-help') function now displays the help in its own buffer
+called *MH-E Help* (closes SF #493740 and SF #656631).
-*** Can't customize tool bar for current session
+*** Search Unification
-If you customized `mh-tool-bar-folder-buttons' or
-`mh-tool-bar-letter-buttons', and clicked Set for Current Session, the
-tool bar was not updated. This has been fixed (closes SF #1452718).
+The old `F s' behavior of adding messages to the search sequence has
+been removed. The `F i' keybinding was deprecated and the new `F s'
+(`mh-search') command is used to initiate either indexed or pick
+searches. Within the MH-Search buffer (renamed from MH-Pick), the
+command `C-c C-p' (`mh-pick-do-search') now runs pick on the given
+folder recursively and displays the results in a search folder like
+the other search methods (closes SF #829207).
-*** Strip Build Number From emacs-version in X-Mailer
+*** Entry Points Have Moved
-This has been done (closes SF #1466481).
+Emacs 21 users must now add `(require 'mh-autoloads)' because the
+entry points (such as `mh-rmail' and `mh-smail') have moved to
+different files which have made the autoloads that come with Emacs
+inaccurate. This change was necessary because the code was reorganized
+to remove circular dependencies, to make the code more stable and
+maintainable, and to reduce the time to load MH-E.
-*** mh-folder-completion-function Problems
+*** MH-Folder Keymap Changes
-One could not longer browse folders outside of the standard MH Mail
-directory. This has been fixed. As a beneficial side-effect, you can
-once again use SPC to complete folders (closes SF #1470518).
+There is now a keymap for the printing functions whose prefix is `P'.
+The command `l' (`mh-print-msg') has been replaced with `P l' although
+we suggest you use the new `P p' instead.
-*** Rename Function and Variable Definers
+Key 7.4.4 8.0
-If you had ever shown help for an MH-E symbol that was both a function
-or variable, you might have found that the hyperlink to the file
-brought you to the wrong definition. This has been fixed by renaming
-the macros `mh-defgroup', `mh-defcustom', `mh-defface',
-`mh-defun-compat', and `mh-defmacro-compat' to `defgroup-mh',
-`defcustom-mh', `defface-mh', `defun-mh', `defmacro-mh' respectively
-(closes SF #1472029).

-*** mh-insert-letter Uses Wrong Default
+*** MH-Letter Keymap Changes
-If you had used `C-c TAB' (`mh-insert-letter') to insert a letter into
-your draft, specified a different folder, and chose the default
-message number, you got the wrong message. This has been fixed (closes
-SF #1473729).
+The change where `mh-letter-mode' derives from `mail-mode' adds a few
+keybindings. Some are interesting: experiment! Only the keybinding
+changes for MH-E functions are listed here.
-*** "echo -e" in Makefile Causes Solaris 10 Problem
+Most of the changes have to do with the renaming of the functions with
+"mhn" in them to "mh" because nmh doesn't use `mhn'. The names were
+also made consistent with the the family of "mml" functions.
-This construct has been replaced with printf, which is reputed to be
-more portable (closes SF #1467222, #1473908).
+The type of signing or encryption has been generalized so the method
+is now an option rather than a part of the function's name. The option
+is `mh-mml-method-default' and choices include PGP (MIME), PGP,
+S/MIME, or none.
-* Changes in MH-E 7.93
+Key 7.4.4 8.0
-Version 7.93, the fourth 8.0 beta release, fixes a handful of bugs in
-searching and limiting exposed during continued beta testing.

+*** MH-Search Keymap Changes
-This flag was redundant and inconsistent with
-`goto-address-highlight-p' at the same time, so we removed it. Please
-customize `goto-address-highlight-p' if you wish to turn off email
-address and URL highlighting.
+These are the changes associated with the new search mode. The command
+`C-c C-c' (`mh-index-do-search') now performs the standard indexed
+search, while `C-c C-p' (`mh-pick-do-search') runs pick as before,
+only better!
-** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.93
+The `mh-to-field' keybindings were adjusted to be consistent with
+those in the MH-Letter mode.
-*** `/ s' Can Miss the Original Mail

-*** XEmacs -nw Fails with number-char-or-marker-p Error
+*** Updates to X-Image-URL
-Hopefully, this is the last we'll hear of problems associated with
-XEmacs' incompatible `device-color-cells' function (closes SF
-#1436924).
+Now support the use of `curl' and `fetch' as alternatives to `wget' to
+obtain the image. The display of images are controlled with the
+`mh-show-use-xface-flag' option while the `mh-fetch-x-image-url'
+option controls how the images are fetched.
-*** Pick-based Searches Fail
+The default of `mh-fetch-x-image-url' has been changed to "Never
+Fetch." Those of you who like the value of "Ask Before Fetching" will
+have to customize this option (closes SF #831278).
-The command `C-c C-p' failed to find any matches. This has been fixed
-(closes SF #1435381).
+WARNING: There are security concerns with this feature. Please read
+the documentation for these options carefully before changing the
+default.
-*** Can't Narrow to Subject with Regexp Chars
+*** Updates to mh-identity-list
-The command `/ s' could not limit subjects that had special pick
-characters (such as [, *, $, .). This has been fixed (closes SF
-#1432548).
+Note that the field names found in `mh-identity-list' that refer to
+the fields in `mh-identity-handlers' have changed in an incompatible
+way from 7.4.4. In general, the symbolic names now have a ":" prefix
+to avoid collisions with header fields. Before starting Emacs, edit
+your .emacs and insert ":" before "signature" if you have defined it.
-\f
+You can change your attribution in replies with the new "Attribution
+Verb" field, and you can set your default GPG user ID with the "GPG
+key ID" field.
-* Changes in MH-E 7.92
+Signatures can now be read from the `mh-signature-file-name' variable,
+or come from a function, in addition to a named file. If you write
+your own function, variables that you can use include
+`mh-signature-separator-regexp', `mh-signature-separator',
+and `mh-signature-separator-p'.
-Version 7.92, the third 8.0 beta release, removes the "sed -i" in the
-Makefile (SF #1432060), tunes the setting of `mh-image-load-path',
-works around systems that do not have face inheritance, fixes several
-issues with searching on XEmacs, and creates the correct MIME type
-when including OpenOffice documents.
+The handling of these fields has been moved into a new
+`mh-identity-handlers' option, an alist of fields (strings) and
+handlers (functions). Strings are lowercase. Use ":signature" for
+Signature and ":pgg-default-user-id" for GPG Key ID. The function
+associated with the string "default" is used if no other functions are
+appropriate. For this reason, don't name a header field "Default".
-* Changes in MH-E 7.91
+If you point your signature at a vCard file with a vcf suffix, then it
+will be incorporated as a vCard body part (closes SF #802723).
-Version 7.91 is the second 8.0 beta release and fixes several bugs
-that were uncovered in wider testing.
+*** Updates to Speedbar
-* Changes in MH-E 7.90
+The speedbar now renders the folders with unseen messages in boldface
+which makes them easier to identify (closes SF #623369).
-Version 7.90 is the first 8.0 beta release and is a release that has
-finally broken away from some unfortunate legacy decisions in favor of
-something that will be easier to use and support. Many bugs were fixed
-and many features were added, including making the pick search
-equivalent to the other types of searches.
+*** Updates to mh-msg-is-in-seq
-The rewrite of the manual accelerated dramatically in recent months
-and drove the changes in this release. In order to make the
-manual--and hence the software--better, clearer, more consistent, more
-predictable, and easier to understand, many variables and functions
-were renamed. The changes to the user-visible variables are listed
-here. It is our hope that you, dear MH-E user, will embrace the
-changes for the better and forgive us from making so many incompatible
-changes.
+Can now specify an alternate message number to `S s'
+(`mh-msg-is-in-seq') with a prefix argument.
-If you use undocumented functionality, be sure to read the ChangeLog
-for changes that might affect you.
+*** Updates to mh-to-field-choices
-** New Features in MH-E 7.90
+In MH-Letter mode, you can use the `C-c C-f' (`mh-to-field') prefix to
+go to and insert fields. The fields `Reply-To:', `Mail-Reply-To:',
+`Mail-Followup-To:' can now be created via the `C-r', `C-a' (for
+author), and `C-l' keys respectively. The key for the `From:' field
+has been renamed from `C-r' to `C-m' for consistency with `mail-mode'
+(closes SF #1400139).
-*** Entry Points Have Moved
+*** Change Content-Type Renderer on the Fly in MH-Show Buffer
-Emacs 21 users must now add `(require 'mh-autoloads)' because the
-entry points (such as `mh-rmail' and `mh-smail') have moved to
-different files which have made the autoloads that come with Emacs
-inaccurate. This change was necessary because the code was reorganized
-to remove circular dependencies, to make the code more stable and
-maintainable, and to reduce the time to load MH-E.
+This has been implemented by adding the key binding `K e'
+(`mh-display-with-external-viewer'). For inline text/html parts,
+buttons aren't displayed by default. In that case use `K t'
+(`mh-toggle-mime-buttons') to display the button before viewing it
+with an external browser (closes SF #839318).
*** MH-E No Longer Calls install-mh
that your MH environment has already been set up. The code to call
`install-mh', which could no longer be run anyway, was removed.
-*** Use run-hook-with-args
+*** Add :package-version Keyword to Options
-We use normal hooks whenever possible and do not use
-`run-hook-with-args' (with one documented exception) (closes SF
-#643702).
+This `defcustom', `defgroup', and `defface' keyword was introduced in
+Emacs 22.1. MH-E has been extended to take advantage of it. With this
+keyword, you can now use `M-x customize-changed-options' to see what
+options in MH-E have changed between versions of Emacs. In a future
+version of Emacs, you'll be able to see changes between MH-E versions
+as well (closes SF #1452724).
-*** Merge mh-index.el and mh-pick.el
+*** Render Signature and vCard in Italics
-We merged `mh-index.el' and `mh-pick.el' into a new file
-`mh-search.el'. As part of this process, the old `F s' behavior of
-adding messages to the search sequence has been removed. The `F i'
-keybinding was then renamed to `F s' (`mh-search'). The mode of the
-search-pattern buffer was renamed from MH-Pick to MH-Search. Within
-the MH-Search buffer, the command `C-c C-p' (`mh-pick-do-search') now
-runs pick on the given folder recursively and displays the results in
-a search folder like the other search methods (closes SF #829207).
+This has been implemented. Use `mh-show-signature-face' to customize
+the face used (closes SF #802722).
-*** Improve Security of mh-fetch-x-image-url
+*** Derive mh-letter-mode from mail-mode
-The default has been changed to "Never Fetch." Those of you who like
-the value of "Ask Before Fetching" will have to customize this option
-(closes SF #831278).
+MH-Letter mode is now derived from `mail-mode'. We were able to delete
+a lot of code. In return, there are a few `mail-mode' commands that
+are available that may or may not be useful and the `mail-mode-hook'
+is run (closes SF #1385571).
*** Remove Emacs 20 Support
Emacs 20. However, now we've formalized it and removed code that was
present solely for Emacs 20 support (closes SF #1359240).
-*** Derive mh-letter-mode from mail-mode
-
-MH-Letter mode is now derived from `mail-mode'. We were able to delete
-a lot of code. In return, there are a few `mail-mode' commands that
-are available that may or may not be useful and the `mail-mode-hook'
-is run (closes SF #1385571).
+*** Glimpse Support Removed
-*** Add Choices to mh-to-field-choices
+Since glimpse isn't free, we cannot mention it. Glimpse has been
+removed from the option `mh-indexer-choices' (closes SF #831276).
-In MH-Letter mode, you can use the "C-c C-f (mh-to-field)" prefix to
-go to and insert fields. The fields "Reply-To:", "Mail-Reply-To:",
-"Mail-Followup-To:" can now be created via the "C-r", "C-a" (for
-author), and "C-l" keys respectively. The key for the "From:" field
-has been renamed from "C-r" to "C-m" for consistency with `mail-mode'
-(closes SF #1400139).
+*** Use run-hook-with-args
-*** MH-Folder Keymap Changes
+We use normal hooks whenever possible and do not use
+`run-hook-with-args' (with one documented exception) (closes SF
+#643702).
-The function `mh-ps-print-toggle-mime' was never implemented and the
-functionality in `mh-ps-print-msg-show' was better afforded by
-`mh-ps-print-msg' and `mh-ps-print-msg-file'.

+Invoked on the forwarded letter by `f' (`mh-forward').
*** mh-highlight-citation-style
Renamed from `mh-highlight-citation-p' since it wasn't a boolean. The
new name is also more descriptive.
+*** mh-identity-handlers
+
+Handler functions for fields in `mh-identity-list'.
+
*** mh-insert-signature-hook
Renamed from `mh-letter-insert-signature-hook' since most of the other
hooks do not carry the mode in the prefix and because the new name is
equally clear.
+*** mh-invisible-header-fields-default
+
+List of hidden header fields. The header fields listed in this option
+are hidden, although you can check off any field that you would like
+to see. Header fields that you would like to hide that aren't listed
+can be added to the `mh-invisible-header-fields' option (closes SF
+#752045).
+
+The option `mh-visible-header-fields' has been deleted.
+
+*** mh-junk-background
+
+If on, spam programs are run in background. This used to be the
+default behavior but this could overwhelm a system if many messages
+were black- or whitelisted at once. The spam programs are now run in
+the foreground, but this option can be used to put them back in the
+background.
+
+*** mh-junk-disposition
+
+Renamed from `mh-junk-mail-folder' since this variable can accept
+values other than folder names.
+
*** mh-kill-folder-suppress-prompt-hooks
Renamed from `mh-kill-folder-suppress-prompt-hook'. By convention,
functions and variables; the older mhn functions and variables were
renamed to have a consistent `mh-mh-to-mime' prefix.
+*** mh-mml-method-default
+
+Default method to use in security tags.
+
*** mh-new-messages-folders
Renamed from `mh-index-new-messages-folders' for clarity.
Renamed from `mh-index-program' as part of the
`mh-index.el'/`mh-pick.el' merge into `mh-search.el'.
+*** mh-signature-separator-flag
+
+On means a signature separator should be inserted. It is not
+recommended that you change this option since various mail user
+agents, including MH-E, use the separator to present the signature
+differently, and to suppress the signature when replying or yanking a
+letter into a draft.

*** mh-sortm-args
Additional arguments for `sortm'. This was previously an internal
Renamed from `mh-index-ticked-messages-folders' for clarity.
-*** mh-xemacs-tool-bar-position
-
-Renamed from `mh-xemacs-toolbar-position' per GNU Emacs naming conventions.
-
-*** mh-xemacs-use-tool-bar-flag
+*** mh-variant
+
+Specifies the variant used by MH-E. The default setting of this option
+is `Auto-detect' which means that MH-E will automatically choose the
+first of nmh, MH, or GNU mailutils that it finds in the directories
+listed in `mh-path', `mh-sys-path', and `exec-path'. If, for example,
+you have both nmh and mailutils installed and `mh-variant-in-use' was
+initialized to nmh but you want to use mailutils, then you can set
+this option to `mailutils'.
+
+When this variable is changed, MH-E resets `mh-progs', `mh-lib',
+`mh-lib-progs', `mh-flists-present-flag', and `mh-variant-in-use'
+accordingly.
+
+If you've set these variables in your .emacs, it is strongly suggested
+that you comment them out. The MH detection code has been completely
+rewritten and it is very likely that you no longer to set them and
+their setting may confuse other MH-E settings.

+*** mh-xemacs-tool-bar-position
+
+Renamed from `mh-xemacs-toolbar-position' per GNU Emacs naming conventions.

+*** mh-xemacs-use-tool-bar-flag
Renamed from `mh-xemacs-use-toolbar-flag' per GNU Emacs naming conventions.
Renamed from `mh-yank-from-start-of-msg' for clarity.

+
+This flag was redundant with and inconsistent with

*** mh-speed-flists-interval
Renamed to `mh-speed-update-interval'.
Deleted since setting `mh-speed-flists-interval' to 0 accomplishes the
same thing.
+*** mh-visible-header-fields

-
-*** Add Message-ID to Outgoing Messages
-
-If you replied to a message in your `+outbox', an `In-Reply-To:'
-header field was created that broke threading at the recipient's end.
-We now add a `Message-ID:' to outgoing messages which fixes this
-(closes SF #725425).
-
-*** Speedbar Creating New Folders Instead of Visiting Existing
-
-This was actually fixed in 7.4.3 (closes SF #792300).

-
-*** mh-index-previous-folder Does Not Work Correctly
-

-`M-TAB' (`mh-index-previous-folder'), you would move to the previous
-folder heading. This has been fixed (closes SF #1126188).
-
-*** XEmacs Compile Fails
+*** mhl-formfile
-Compiling produced a "Symbol's value as variable is void: require"
-error on all files. This has been fixed. As a bonus, warnings have
-been reduced from hundreds to just a few (closes SF #1127595).
+Renamed to `mh-mhl-format-file'.
-*** buffer-offer-save Permanent Local
+\f
-There was a movement to make `buffer-offer-save' a permanent local
-which would have meant that we could not set it in `mh-letter-mode'.
-However, this movement was fraught with issues and was postponed
-(closes SF #1184756).
+** New Faces in MH-E 8.0
-*** Better Handling of Empty cur Sequence
+*** mh-folder-address
-If you refiled a message into a folder and then used `F r'
-(`mh-rescan-folder') in that folder, your cursor would be taken to the
-first message. The cursor now stays where it was (closes SF #1207247).
+Renamed from `mh-folder-address-face' per new Emacs conventions.
-*** Name of the Draft File in mh-comp.el
+*** mh-folder-body
-MH is documented to use the draft file. If you use a draft file for

-*** Use Standard Default Notation in Prompts
+*** mh-folder-cur-msg-number

+*** mh-folder-refiled
-* Changes in MH-E 7.85
+Renamed from `mh-folder-refiled-face' per new Emacs conventions.
-Version 7.85 heralds a migration of the CVS repository from
-SourceForge to Savannah only for those files that were already part of
-Emacs. As a result, two incompatibilities were introduced with this
-release: the location of MH-E in the load-path has changed, and
-mh-e-autoloads.el was renamed to mh-autoloads.el. While this migration
-will benefit maintainers, it will also benefit users: CVS Emacs users
-will not have to check out MH-E separately and welcome faster MH-E
-updates, and CVS MH-E users will welcome faster MH-E updates from
-Emacs developers. Read section CVS MH-E INSTALL in the README for
-details.
+*** mh-folder-sent-to-me-hint
-MH-E now works on a Mac. See section INSTALL in the README for details.
+Fontification hint face in messages sent directly to us.
-** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.85
+*** mh-folder-sent-to-me-sender
-*** Prompts Now Follow Current Conventions
+Sender face in messages sent directly to us.
-Instead of "Prompt: [<default>] ", the prompts now look like "Prompt
-(default: <default>): ".
+*** mh-folder-subject
-*** Face Variable Names Now Follow Current Conventions
+Renamed from `mh-folder-subject-face' per new Emacs conventions.
-The -face suffix has been dropped from all face names.
+*** mh-folder-tick
-*** Default Identity Prevents Insertion of Auto Fields
+Renamed from `mh-folder-tick-face' per new Emacs conventions.
-Auto insertion of an identity now occurs even when the default
-identity is used (closes SF #1204506).
+*** mh-folder-to
-*** mh-compose-forward and Default Message Number
+Renamed from `mh-folder-to-face' per new Emacs conventions.
-mh-compose-forward will now default to the sent message in the sent
-folder and the `cur' message in other folders. It also takes ranges of
-messages and can include multiple messages at a time (closes SF
-#1205890).
+*** mh-letter-header-field
-*** mh-customize Uses Group mh, Not mh-e
+Renamed from `mh-letter-header-field-face' per new Emacs conventions.
-The `mh' customization group alias has been deleted to avoid some
-problems that were found (closes SF #1213716).
+*** mh-search-folder
-*** font-lock Error in mh-letter-mode
+Renamed from `mh-index-folder-face'.
-An error in MH-E was introduced as a result of a change in CVS Emacs.
-This has been fixed (closes SF #1241017).
+*** mh-show-cc
-\f
+Renamed from `mh-show-cc-face' per new Emacs conventions.
-* Changes in MH-E 7.84
+*** mh-show-date
-Version 7.84 contains no user-visible changes. This version
-incorporates changes made in CVS Emacs such as the removal of some
-deprecated software.
+Renamed from `mh-show--face' per new Emacs conventions.
-* Changes in MH-E 7.83
+*** mh-show-from
-Version 7.83 fixes a handful of bugs, adds colors to buttons for
-signed or encrypted messages, and contains some documentation changes
-related to the upcoming release of the manual. Some options were moved
-to other customization groups as a result.
+Renamed from `mh-show-from-face' per new Emacs conventions.
-While not related to this release, the MH-E mailing lists are now
-gatewayed at gmane.org (closes SF #979308).
+*** mh-show-header
-** New Variables in MH-E 7.83
+Renamed from `mh-show-header-face' per new Emacs conventions.
-*** mh-show-pgg-bad-face
+*** mh-show-pgg-bad
Face used to highlight a bad PGG signature.
-*** mh-show-pgg-good-face
+*** mh-show-pgg-good
Face used to highlight a good PGG signature.
-*** mh-show-pgg-unknown-face
+*** mh-show-pgg-unknown
Face used to highlight a PGG signature whose status is unknown. This
face is also used for a signature when the signer is untrusted.
-** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.83
+*** mh-show-signature
-*** Whitespace in pick Expressions
+Face used to highlight the signature.
-The "C-u / s RET" command now works. In addition, you can now add
-whitespace to any of the limiting (/) commands (closes SF #1122655).
+*** mh-show-subject
-*** auto-mode-alist Updated
+Renamed from `mh-show-subject-face' per new Emacs conventions.
-MH-E originally updated auto-mode-alist to set the major mode of
-drafts. Now that we explicitly set the mode, there is no reason to do
-this, and this behavior caused problems for people who didn't use MH-E
-who were editing files that looked like MH message files (closes SF
-#1032353).
+*** mh-show-to
-*** mh-show-unquote-From Fails (read-only buffer)
+Renamed from `mh-show-to-face' per new Emacs conventions.
-MH-E quotes the "From " header field that is inserted by MTAs.
-However, it was trying to do this in a read-only buffer. This has been
-fixed (closes SF #1089870).
+*** mh-show-xface
-*** rmmproc Refile Complains No Such Message
+Renamed from `mh-show-xface-face' per new Emacs conventions.
-MH-E would get confused about which folder to delete messages from if
-you were refiling and deleting messages at the same time. This has
-been fixed (closes SF #1023959).
+*** mh-speedbar-folder
-*** ! Doesn't Do Regions
+Renamed from `mh-speedbar-folder-face' per new Emacs conventions.
-Now it does (closes SF #1046330).
+*** mh-speedbar-folder-with-unseen-messages
-*** Swish Fixes
+Renamed from `mh-speedbar-folder-with-unseen-messages-face' per new
+Emacs conventions.
-Items in swish indexes that aren't mail messages are now handled more
-gracefully.
+*** mh-speedbar-selected-folder
-*** Spamassassin Fixes
+Renamed from `mh-speedbar-selected-folder-face' per new Emacs conventions.
-If you use spamassassin, there was an error when you tried to junk
-mail if the option mh-junk-background was set. This has been fixed.
+*** mh-speedbar-selected-folder-with-unseen-messages
-*** Mairix Support
-
-Indexing now compatible with Mairix version 0.12 and later.
+Renamed from `mh-speedbar-selected-folder-with-unseen-messages-face'
+per new Emacs conventions.

-* Changes in MH-E 7.82
+** Faces Deleted in MH-E 8.0
-Version 7.82 continues to address the saga surrounding the use of CL
-macros in CVS Emacs and fixes the auto-detection of vanilla MH (closes
-SF #1014781).
+*** mh-folder-address-face
-* Changes in MH-E 7.81
+Renamed to `mh-folder-address' per new Emacs conventions.
-Version 7.81 fixes a `wrong-type-argument' argument error that
-sometimes occurred when processing the Message-ID, adds the ";
-(mh-toggle-mh-decode-mime-flag)" command, and uses ":default" instead
-of "default" in `mh-identity-handlers' to avoid problems with
-"Default:" as a user defined field. If you have modified
-`mh-identity-handlers' in your .emacs, you'll need to rename "default"
-to ":default". This release also corrects the release numbering; the
-previous version number was intended to be 7.80.
+*** mh-folder-body-face
-\f
+Renamed to `mh-folder-body' per new Emacs conventions.
-* Changes in MH-E 7.4.80
-
-Version 7.4.80 now supports GNU mailutils, S/MIME, picons,
-which-func-mode, has an improved interface for hiding header fields,
-improves upon the MH variant detection, and contains many bug fixes.
-Those of you familiar with the GNU version numbering schemes will
-recognize this as an alpha release. This does not reflect on the
-quality of this release which is as high as it has always been.
-Although we are not ready to release 8.0, we want you to have access
-to the work that has been hiding in CVS. At the same time we want to
-make it clear that there are incompatible changes with previous
-versions.
-
-We are planning to release the long-awaited manual update synchronized
-with version 8.0. We are using documentation from the manual in the
-docstrings which is hoped to make "C-h f (describe-function)" really
-useful and create a seamless experience when switching back and forth
-between the manual and the docstrings. This has been done in about
-half of the variables and functions in this version.
-
-The writing of the manual has revealed a few inconsistencies in the
-software whose fixes have resulted in incompatible changes, and there
-may well be more. So, unlike version 7 which was chock full of new
-features, version 8's strengths will include complete documentation
-and higher quality.
-
-** New Features in MH-E 7.4.80
+*** mh-folder-cur-msg-face
-*** GNU mailutils Support
+Deleted. Not used.
-MH-E now supports GNU mailutils 0.4 and higher versions.
+*** mh-folder-cur-msg-number-face
-*** S/MIME Support
+Renamed to `mh-folder-cur-msg-number' per new Emacs conventions.
-MH-E now supports S/MIME using Gnus 5.10.6 or higher.
+*** mh-folder-date-face
-*** Picon Support
+Renamed to `mh-folder-date' per new Emacs conventions.
-In addition to the other methods of displaying an icon for the sender
-of a message, MH-E can now display images from a picon directory. The
-directory search path is found in the `mh-picon-directory-list'
-variable. More documentation is found in the "facedb" sections in the
-xfaces man page. [NOTE: need to make mh-picon-directory-list an option
-and add xfaces facedb documentation to it.]
+*** mh-folder-deleted-face
-*** X-Image-URL Updates
+Renamed to `mh-folder-deleted' per new Emacs conventions.
-Now support the use of `curl' and `fetch' as alternatives to `wget' to
-obtain the image. The display of images are controlled with the
-`mh-show-use-xface-flag' option while the `mh-fetch-x-image-url'
-option controls how the images are fetched.
+*** mh-folder-followup-face
-WARNING: There are security concerns with this feature. Please read
-the documentation for these options carefully before changing the
-default.
-
-*** Updates to mh-identity-list
-
-Note that the field names found in `mh-identity-list' that refer to
-the fields in `mh-identity-handlers' have changed in an incompatible
-way from 7.4.4. In general, the symbolic names now have a ":" prefix
-to avoid collisions with header fields. Before starting Emacs, edit
-your .emacs and insert ":" before "signature" if you have defined it.
-
-You can change your attribution in replies with the new "Attribution
-Verb" field, and you can set your default GPG user ID with the "GPG
-key ID" field.
-
-Signatures can now be read from the `mh-signature-file-name' variable,
-or come from a function, in addition to a named file. If you write
-your own function, variables that you can use include
-`mh-signature-separator-regexp', `mh-signature-separator',
-and `mh-signature-separator-p'.
-
-The handling of these fields has been moved into a new
-`mh-identity-handlers' option, an alist of fields (strings) and
-handlers (functions). Strings are lowercase. Use ":signature" for
-Signature and ":pgg-default-user-id" for GPG Key ID. The function
-associated with the string "default" is used if no other functions are
-appropriate. For this reason, don't name a header field "Default".
-
-If you point your signature at a vCard file with a vcf suffix, then it
-will be incorporated as a vCard body part (closes SF #802723).
+Renamed to `mh-folder-followup' per new Emacs conventions.
-*** Catchup Command
-
-There is a new "F c (mh-catchup)" command that marks all unread
-messages in the current folder as read.
-
-*** Change Content-Type Renderer on the Fly in MH-Show Buffer
-
-This has been implemented by adding the key binding "K e
-(mh-display-with-external-viewer)". For inline text/html parts,
-buttons aren't displayed by default. In that case use "K t
-(mh-toggle-mime-buttons)" to display the button before viewing it with
-an external browser (closes SF #839318).
-
-*** Use which-func-mode to Display Folder in Index Mode
-
-Turning on `which-func-mode' displays the folder name of the message
-under the cursor in index folders (closes SF #855520).
-
-*** Render Signature and vCard in Italics
-
-This has been implemented. Use `mh-show-signature-face' to customize
-the face used (closes SF #802722).
+*** mh-folder-msg-number-face
-*** New Print Map
+Renamed to `mh-folder-msg-number' per new Emacs conventions.
-There is now a keymap for the printing functions whose prefix is "P".
-The command "l (mh-print-msg)" has been replaced with "P l". Other new
-functions in this keymap include:
+*** mh-folder-refiled-face
- P A mh-ps-print-toggle-mime
- P C mh-ps-print-toggle-color
- P F mh-ps-print-toggle-faces
- P M mh-ps-print-toggle-mime
- P f mh-ps-print-msg-file
- P l mh-print-msg
- P p mh-ps-print-msg
- P s mh-ps-print-msg-show
+Renamed to `mh-folder-refiled' per new Emacs conventions.
-*** Draft Buffer Keymap Changes
+*** mh-folder-subject-face
-The keymap in the draft buffer has been modified slightly. The old
-anonymous ftp and tar composition commands have been reinstated and
-letter signing and encrypting keymaps have been added.
+Renamed to `mh-folder-subject' per new Emacs conventions.
-The type of signing or encryption has been generalized so the method
-is now an option rather than a part of the function's name. The option
-is `mh-mml-method-default' and choices include PGP (MIME), PGP,
-S/MIME, or none.

-which makes them easier to identify (closes SF #623369).
+*** mh-folder-to-face
-*** Quick Key Help
+Renamed to `mh-folder-to' per new Emacs conventions.
-The "? (mh-help)" function now displays the help in its own buffer

-*** New Startup File mh-e-autoloads.el
+*** mh-index-folder-face
-If you are installing MH-E yourself, then you can replace any

-README for details.
+Renamed to `mh-search-folder'.
-*** Glimpse Support Removed
-
-Since glimpse isn't free, we cannot mention it. Glimpse has been
-removed from the option `mh-indexer-choices' (closes SF #831276).
+*** mh-letter-header-field-face
-*** mh-msg-is-in-seq Update
+Renamed to `mh-letter-header-field' per new Emacs conventions.
-Can now specify an alternate message number to "S s
-(mh-msg-is-in-seq)" with a prefix argument.
+*** mh-show-cc-face
-** New Variables in MH-E 7.4.80
+Renamed to `mh-show-cc' per new Emacs conventions.

-Invoked on the forwarded letter by "f (mh-forward)".
+*** mh-show-xface-face
-*** mh-invisible-header-fields-default
+Renamed to `mh-show-xface' per new Emacs conventions.
-List of hidden header fields. The header fields listed in this option
-are hidden, although you can check off any field that you would like
-to see. Header fields that you would like to hide that aren't listed
-can be added to the `mh-invisible-header-fields' option (closes SF
-#752045).
+*** mh-speedbar-folder-face
-The option `mh-visible-header-fields' has been deleted.
+Renamed to `mh-speedbar-folder' per new Emacs conventions.
-*** mh-junk-background
+*** mh-speedbar-folder-with-unseen-messages-face
-If on, spam programs are run in background. This used to be the
-default behavior but this could overwhelm a system if many messages
-were black- or whitelisted at once. The spam programs are now run in
-the foreground, but this option can be used to put them back in the
-background.
+Renamed to `mh-speedbar-folder-with-unseen-messages' per new Emacs conventions.
-*** mh-signature-separator-flag
+*** mh-speedbar-selected-folder-face
-Non-nil means a signature separator should be inserted. It is not
-recommended that you change this option since various mail user
-agents, including MH-E, use the separator to present the signature
-differently, and to suppress the signature when replying or yanking a
-letter into a draft.
+Renamed to `mh-speedbar-selected-folder' per new Emacs conventions.
-*** mh-variant
+*** mh-speedbar-selected-folder-with-unseen-messages-face
-Specifies the variant used by MH-E. The default setting of this option
-is `Auto-detect' which means that MH-E will automatically choose the
-first of nmh, MH, or GNU mailutils that it finds in the directories
-listed in `mh-path', `mh-sys-path', and `exec-path'. If, for example,
-you have both nmh and mailutils installed and `mh-variant-in-use' was
-initialized to nmh but you want to use mailutils, then you can set
-this option to `mailutils'.
+Renamed to `mh-speedbar-selected-folder-with-unseen-messages' per new
+Emacs conventions.
-When this variable is changed, MH-E resets `mh-progs', `mh-lib',
-`mh-lib-progs', `mh-flists-present-flag', and `mh-variant-in-use'
-accordingly.
+\f
-If you've set these variables in your .emacs, it is strongly suggested
-that you comment them out. The MH detection code has been completely
-rewritten and it is very likely that you no longer to set them and
-their setting may confuse other MH-E settings.
+** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.0
-** Variables Deleted in MH-E 7.4.80
+*** Face Variable Names Now Follow Current Conventions
-Variables that have been removed from MH-E that have not been
-discussed elsewhere are listed here.
+The -face suffix has been dropped from all face names.
-*** mh-alias-system-aliases
+*** Swish Fixes
-System definitions should not be a user option.
+Items in swish indexes that aren't mail messages are now handled more
+gracefully.
-*** mh-junk-mail-folder
+*** Spamassassin Fixes
-Since this variable can accept values other than folder names, it was
-renamed to `mh-junk-disposition' to more accurately reflect the content.
+If you use spamassassin, there was an error when you tried to junk
+mail if the option `mh-junk-background' was set. This has been fixed.
-** Bug Fixes in MH-E 7.4.80
+*** Mairix Support
-Many bugs were fixed in this version that aren't listed below.
+Indexing now compatible with Mairix version 0.12 and later.
*** mh-extract-rejected-mail Can't Do MIME (and Other Formats)
our list is too broad, please let us know which version of XEmacs you
are using (closes SF #644321).
+*** Completions Offered by mh-refile-message Are Not Sorted
+
+This behavior is no longer observed (closes SF #698734).
+
+*** Add Message-ID to Outgoing Messages
+
+If you replied to a message in your `+outbox', an `In-Reply-To:'
+header field was created that broke threading at the recipient's end.
+We now add a `Message-ID:' to outgoing messages which fixes this
+(closes SF #725425).
+
*** Inconsistent Prompts
-Prompt formats are now consistent throughout the application (closes
-SF #730470).
+Emacs changed their defaults in prompts from "Prompt: [value]" to
+"Prompt (default value): ". All MH-E prompts have been updated to
+comply with the new standard and are therefore now consistent
+throughout the application (closes SF #730470, SF #1275933).
*** Empty Shell Comments Confuse mh-mhn-directive-present-p
has been fixed so that the user name that is flashed is the same as
the name that is sent (closes SF #772595).
-*** Args out of range
-
-In rare and non-reproducible circumstances, compilation sometimes
-threw an "Args out of range" error. Nonetheless, this has been fixed
-(closes SF #806577).
-
-*** mh-forward hard-codes '-mime' Switch on nmh
+*** Initialization Fails If ~/Mail Exists
-Added new option `mh-compose-forward-as-mime-flag' that controls whether
-messages are forwarded as MIME attachments (closes SF #827203).
+MH-E no longer calls `install-mh' so this issue has gone away (closes
+SF #835192).
*** Not Re-prompted to Sign After Pass Phrase Typo
be fontified with a gray background. This has been fixed (closes SF
#855479).
+*** RETURN Causes Infinite Loop in mh-letter
+
+This behavior is no longer observed (closes SF #887346).
+
*** mh-refile-msg Fails to Suggest Folder for Empty Message
If you received a message with an empty body from someone who is
-listed in your aliases file, "o (mh-refile-msg)" failed to suggest the
-correct folder. This has been fixed (closes SF #917096).
+listed in your aliases file, `o' (`mh-refile-msg') failed to suggest
+the correct folder. This has been fixed (closes SF #917096).
+
+*** Missing Headers When Replying to All
+
+User needed to edit `replgroupcomps' (closes SF #918194).
*** Error Visiting Folder With no Unseen Messages
If you visited a folder without unseen messages and the option "flist:
--noshowzero" is present in your ~/.mh_profile, you'd get an error. This
-has been fixed (closes SF #933954).
+-noshowzero" is present in your `~/.mh_profile', you'd get an error.
+This has been fixed (closes SF #933954).
+
+*** Error Message When Trying to Send Using MH-E
+
+This behavior is no longer observed (closes SF #1002103).
+
+*** mh-find-path Doesn't Use mhparam
+
+MH-E no longer peeks into the MH profile `~/.mh_profile' directly. It
+uses `mhparam' instead (closes SF #1016027).
+
+*** rmmproc Refile Complains No Such Message
+
+MH-E would get confused about which folder to delete messages from if
+you were refiling and deleting messages at the same time. This has
+been fixed (closes SF #1023959).
+
+*** auto-mode-alist Updated
+
+MH-E originally updated auto-mode-alist to set the major mode of
+drafts. Now that we explicitly set the mode, there is no reason to do
+this, and this behavior caused problems for people who didn't use MH-E
+who were editing files that looked like MH message files (closes SF
+#1032353).
+
+*** ! Doesn't Do Regions
+
+Now it does (closes SF #1046330).
+
+*** mh-show-unquote-From Fails (read-only buffer)
+
+MH-E quotes the `From ' header field that is inserted by MTAs.
+However, it was trying to do this in a read-only buffer. This has been
+fixed (closes SF #1089870).
+
+*** Whitespace in pick Expressions
+
+The `C-u / s RET' command now works. In addition, you can now add
+whitespace to any of the limiting (/) commands (closes SF #1122655).
+
+*** mh-index-previous-folder Does Not Work Correctly
+
+If your cursor was on an item below a folder heading and you used
+`M-TAB' (`mh-index-previous-folder'), you would move to the previous
+folder heading. This has been fixed (closes SF #1126188).
+
+*** Default Identity Prevents Insertion of Auto Fields
+
+Auto insertion of an identity now occurs even when the default
+identity is used (closes SF #1204506).
+
+*** mh-compose-forward and Default Message Number
+
+`mh-compose-forward' will now default to the sent message in the sent
+folder and the `cur' message in other folders. It also takes ranges of
+messages and can include multiple messages at a time (closes SF
+#1205890).
+
+*** Better Handling of Empty cur Sequence
+
+If you refiled a message into a folder and then used `F r'
+(`mh-rescan-folder') in that folder, your cursor would be taken to the
+first message. The cursor now stays where it was (closes SF #1207247).
+
+*** mh-customize Uses Group mh, Not mh-e
+
+The `mh' customization group alias has been deleted to avoid some
+problems that were found (closes SF #1213716).
+
+*** "Args out of range" Error in Displaying Message
+
+This behavior is no longer observed (closes SF #1227504).
+
+*** Front-and-back Truncation in mailto: Rendering
+
+This behavior is no longer observed (closes SF #1227510).
+
+*** Name of the Draft File in mh-comp.el
+
+MH is documented to use the draft file. If you use a draft file for
+something else (like Sylpheed), then use draft folders (closes SF
+#1231483).
+
+*** font-lock Error in mh-letter-mode
+
+An error in MH-E was introduced as a result of a change in CVS Emacs.
+This has been fixed (closes SF #1241017).
+
+*** Msg Display Broken After Displaying Msg with Inline Image
+
+Messages with inline images no longer trim certain message header
+fields (closes SF #1306141).
+
+*** mh-visit-folder Munges font-lock-keywords
+
+MH-E broke highlighting in Gnus buffers. This was actually a problem
+in CVS Emacs 22 and has been fixed there (closes SF #1393879).
+
+*** Illegal Filename Chars for W32 Filesystems
+
+Windows users who view `X-Image-URL:' images could not cache the
+images since the cached image file names had illegal characters. This
+has been fixed (closes SF #1396499).
+
+*** mh-send Doesn't Handle mml Insertions Via mail-user-agent
+
+Can now forward messages in Gnus if MH-E is your `mail-user-agent'
+(closes SF #1399307).
+
+*** Can't Narrow to Subject with Regexp Chars
+
+The command `/ s' could not limit subjects that had special pick
+characters (such as [, *, $, .). This has been fixed (closes SF
+#1432548).
+
+*** `/ s' Can Miss the Original Mail
+
+The command `/ s' failed to include the message with the "Re:" in the
+Subject. This has been fixed (closes SF #1438369).
+
+*** mhparam -components Fails on mailutils
+
+This error prevented MH-E from loading when using GNU mailutils. GNU
+mailutils drops the `s' in this argument, so we did too since
+-component still works in nmh and MH (closes SF #1446985).
+
+*** `/ s' Still Has Problems With []'d Mail
+
+On XEmacs, subjects that had special characters would prevent `/ s'
+from narrowing to the given subject. These characters are now quoted
+correctly in XEmacs (closes SF #1447598).
+
+*** Variable mh-send-args Is a String, Not a List
+
+This was causing errors when sending under GNU mailutils. The internal
+variable `mh-send-args' is now a list which fixes the problem (closes
+SF #1448604).
+
+*** Update Icons
+
+Most of the tool bar icons have been replaced by GTK or GNOME 2 icons
+(closes SF #1452715).
+
+*** Strip Build Number From emacs-version in X-Mailer
+
+This has been done (closes SF #1466481).
+
+*** Rename Function and Variable Definers
+
+If you had ever shown help for an MH-E symbol that was both a function
+or variable, you might have found that the hyperlink to the file
+brought you to the wrong definition. This has been fixed by renaming
+the macros `mh-defgroup', `mh-defcustom', `mh-defface',
+`mh-defun-compat', and `mh-defmacro-compat' to `defgroup-mh',
+`defcustom-mh', `defface-mh', `defun-mh', `defmacro-mh' respectively
+(closes SF #1472029).
+
+*** mh-insert-letter Uses Wrong Default
+
+If you had used `C-c TAB' (`mh-insert-letter') to insert a letter into
+your draft, specified a different folder, and chose the default
+message number, you got the wrong message. This has been fixed (closes
+SF #1473729).
