<Differences between Mew 4.1 and Mew 3.2>
* Summary mode format
- Parts of message bodies are displayed.
- Message number disappeared.
- "=" displays its message number.
- Refile information overrides its body part in Summary mode.
- 'mew-scan-form*' is now 'mew-summary-form*'.
- "j" now jumps to a message with line number instead of its
message number.
- You can still pack messages by "O" in a local folder.
* A new mark scheme
- Marks are preserved even if Emacs is terminated.
- The unread mark 'U' is introduced.
- The multi mark '@' is obsoleted.
- To handle multiple messages, use the target mark '*'.
- To preserve the target mark '*', use the escape mark '$'.
- You can create Virtual mode for unread messages by
"C-um/" + 'U'.
* Summary mode
- Refile information is logged. See "Mail/Refilelog".
- You can pick or grep for a region as well as the entire
folder. ("?" and "'")
- You can rename and remove folders. ("Rd" and "Rr")
* Message mode
- If To:/Cc: contains many addresses, they are covered with a
invisible veil except the first four lines. To toggle the
veil, type "zv".
* Virtual mode
- You can pick or grep if the Virtual mode is created of
a one physical folder.
- You can make a thread if the Virtual mode is created of
a one physical folder.
* Draft mode
- You can complete addresses even if they have the same user
name. See 'mew-use-full-alias'.
- Fixing a bug of 'mew-make-message-hook' so that ispell-message
works.

- Transition mechanism from POP to IMAP is provided.
M-x mew-summary-from-local-to-imap copies messages on a
local file system to an IMAP server.
* NetNews
- NetNews articles are now gained access by article numbers
instead of Message-Id:. Articles are cached with the same
article number.
* Spam filter
- Mew side filtering when scanning/retrieving.
See 'mew-inbox-action-alist'.
- Mew side filtering by a command. ('"')
- IMAP server side filtering. See 'mew-imap-spam-field'.
- Learning as spam or ham. ("ls" and "lh")
* Network
- POP/IMAP/SMTP/NNTP preserves its status even if its
connection is lost by accident.
* Other
- "mewls" is now called "mewl" so that both "mewls" or Mew 2/3
and "mewl" for Mew 4 co-exist.
<Differences between Mew 3.2 and Mew 3.1>
* If SSL/SSH is used for message retrieval by POP/IMAP/NNTP,
it is notified in mode line ("Sec" or a lock image).
* Supporting Emacs 21.3.50's native UTF-8.
* Translation between Latin 0 and Latin 1.
* A certificate of an SSL server can be verified. For this, "stunnel"
v3 and v4 are supported and support for "openssl s_client" is
obsoleted.
* Supporting X-Face: on Emacs 21. To use X-Face: on any Emacsen,
install "uncompface" command and the "netpbm" package.
* Obsoleting the following variables:
mew-noreplyto-to-list
mew-noreplyto-cc-list
mew-replyto-to-list
mew-replyto-cc-list
mew-fromme-to-list
mew-fromme-cc-list
And defining the following variables:
mew-reply-all-alist
mew-reply-sender-alist
mew-reply-fromme-alist
This change enables support for NetNews and non-standard fields
such as Mail-Folloup-To:.
* New commands in Summary mode.
"\", "M-\", "m/"
* Many bug fixes.
<Differences between Mew 3.1 and Mew 2.2>
* Supporting Darwin.
* The structure of folder list is changed. Type "1Z" once after
upgrading to Mew 3.1
* You can enter folder search mode by typing C-s and C-r in
minibuffer.
* Off-line version of "x", namely "lx", is introduced.
* "x" became much faster thanks to a new algorithm of mew-dir-messages().
* A new range "sync" is defined.
* IMAP and NNTP are supported.
* +mdrop is renamed to $inbox.
<Differences between Mew 2.2 and Mew 2.1>
* mew-summary-toggle-8bit is bound to "z8" instaed of "8".
* "0"-"9" are bound to digit-argument. So, for example, we can type
"10d" instead of "C-u10d".
* yes-or-no-p is replaced by y-or-n-p.
* Minor bug fixes.
<Differences between Mew 2.1 and Mew 2.0>
* XML is well supported.
* "c" in Summary works like "copy" (by specifying the current folder)
while "o" does like "move".
* "," and C-cC-i are integrated. Use "," to display a part as it is.
C-cC-i now acts like view-file.
* Both ":" and C-cC-l is now friendly for ":".
* +mdrop is implemented. You can remove messages on your POP server
visually.
* Sort (s) and pack (O) became much faster.
* contrib/incdir now moves messages in the "cur" directory as well as
the "new" directory if the "-a" option is specified.
* The "Type 'I'" message is displayed in the minibuffer, not in the body
of a message marked with 'T'.
* The "Type 'T'" message is displayed in the minibuffer when CT: of an
attach file is unknown and the default CT: is chosen.
* mew-case-guess-when-composed works well now.
* "Sort region" (C-uS) now revives.
* A header for a Bcc: message is now well-prepared.
* mew-thread-column is now obsoleted. Put 't' in mew-scan-form to
specify the position of thread indentation.
* Asking Subject: before "Really send this message? ". And asking Fcc:
if folders do not exist.
* The "phrase:addr1,addr2;" notation is allowed in Addrbook if and
only if it doesn't recurse when expanded.
* Some workaround for broken POP servers.
* Many other small bug fixes.
<Differences between Mew 2 and Mew 1.94>
* Mew 2 has thrown away Emacs 19, Mule 2.3, XEmacs 20.4.
* Mew 2 has thrown away IM and is being implemented purely by Elisp
with two C commands, 'mewencode' and 'mewls'.
* Thread is supported. The key bindings of most thread commands
start with "t". For example, typing "tt" makes thread.
* Both Multipart/Alternative and Multipart/Related are supported.
Use ":" to display the entire structure.
* Sophisticated POP support. POP biff is supported.
* 8bit clean. If mew-use-8bit is non-nil, 8bit charset in a body is
sent without any MIME encoding(i.e. CTE: 8bit). If this is nil,
8bit charset in a body is sent with an appropriate MIME
encoding(e.g. CTE: quoted-printable). Also, 8bit messages to be
attached are converted into 7bit.
8bit messages to be signed are also converted into 7bit. This is
required by the Multipart/Signed spec.
mew-use-8bit is nil by default to avoid accidents.
* Preview. Typing C-cC-m in Draft mode puts the composed message to
+queue. You can preview messages to be send in +queue with
Summary mode.
If you are in Summary mode, typing C-cC-c sends all messages in
+queue. "i" in Summary mode also flushes all messages in +queue
since mew-auto-flush-queue is default to t.
Typing C-cC-c in Draft sends the draft without preview.
* MIME editor. Typing "E" (i.e. reediting) in Summary mode leads you
Draft mode. If the target is multipart, attachments are prepared.
* In attachments, you can specify charset both for input and output.
"C" specifies the charset parameter for a Text/* object.
"I" specifies a input coding-system for a text file.
* Header mode is created for resending and sending the same content
to different destinations.
* C-cC-l makes use of autoconf of a specified language.
* Mew 2 is liberal for many kinds of broken messages.
<Differences between 1.94 and 1.93>
* Auto input-method selection. Typing C-cC-y or C-cC-t in Draft mode
automatically selects input-method on X/Emacs 20 or later.
For example, Germany can be represented by both iso-8859-1 and
iso-8859-1. When you received a Germany message in iso-8859-2, it
would be nice if latin-2-postfix is selected for input-method. To
implement this, put the following to your .emacs.
(setq mew-charset-input-method-alist
'(("iso-8859-1" . "latin-1-postfix")
("iso-8859-2" . "latin-2-postfix")))
* "y" in Summary mode is now able to save the raw format of message
(i.e. header fields are not decoded). You can safely forward saved
messages.
* Multiple "inbox"es with IM Config are supported.
* "D" in Summary mode removes all messages in the +trash folder.
* Summary mode is now really multi-lingualized thanks to IM.
* Aliases and Petname are integrated into Addrbook. To register expansion
rules and/or personal information, type [C-u]C-cC-a in Summary
mode.
* The cache prefetch mechanism is implemented. You can read messages
very quickly in Summary mode.
* Thanks to the cache prefetch mechanism, the non-MIME analysis sub-mode,
which is provided for rapid reading, becomes meaningless. So, M-a was
throw away. Use "," if you want to see a message in the raw format.
* GNUPG support. To select PGPv2/PGPv5/GNUPG, type C-cC-v in Summary
mode.
* Imget's password and PGP passphrase can be cached. You can now survive
without impwagent.
Set mew-use-cached-passwd t.
Set mew-use-pgp-cached-passphrase to t.
* C-c{C-s,C-p,C-b,C-r} can work even if draft contains attachments.
* Automatic PGP protection for all drafts or drafts replying to
encrypted messages is supported.
See mew-protect-privacy-{always,encrypted}.
* C-cC-p in Summary mode can handle old-fashioned PGP messages.
* "." can decrypt messages which you failed to decrypt before.
* Unknown Multipart/{Signed,Encrypted} is treated as a single part.
* C-u Z saves the update folder file to ~/Mail/.folders. So, Mew can
assume that this file exist by default. Concludingly the bootstrap
becomes faster. mew-use-folders-file-p is now default to `t'.
* You can customize Mew so that the directory previously used is
preserved. See, mew-{summary,draft}-preserve-dir. See also
mew-summary-trace-directory.
* You can display text/html by a running netscape.
Put the following in .emacs.
(setq mew-prog-text/html-arg-hack 'mew-prog-text/html-netscape-remote)
* Range is asked only when you interactively execute "s".
* The key binding of FIB commands were changed with the C-cC-f prefix.
* Getting along with the mail-user-agent convention.
* Many IMAP4-friendly hacks.
* Many many bug fixes. And many many optimizations.
<Differences between 1.93 and 1.92>
* Copyright of Mew conforms ``AS IS'' instead of GPL2.
* Mew now supports IMAP4 and qmail mailbox.
* immv, imrm, and imclean are implemented by Elisp. So, "x" in Summary
mode became much faster. Other commands became faster as well.
* Multipart format in Summary mode and Draft mode are integrated.
* Neat support for IM Config. Please refer to info for more information.
* mew-opt-highlight-* -> mew-use-highlight-*.
* mew-field-{,in}visible were obsoleted. Use mew-field-spec instead.
* Hankaku kana is converted into zenkaku kana if exists.
* Safely ignores unknown charset in a header.
* message/partial and text/html are supported.
* Ad-hoc PGP 5 support.
* Content-Disposition: support.
* Neat reporting mechanism of PGP/MIME.
* Many many bug fixes.
<Differences between 1.93 and 1.70>
* Mew uses IM Perl5 instead of MH. Mew will never support MH again.
* Mew works on OS/2, Win95, and WNT as well as on UNIX.
* Mew doesn't ask you to input y or n in Summary mode though it used
to do so. Please follow instructions which Mew displays.
* Deleting messages on Summary mode(i.e. the D mark) means refiling to
the +trash folder. If in +trash folder, messages marked with 'D' are
really removed. You can customize this action. See
mew-msg-rm-policy for details.
* "N" and "P" in Summary mode move the cursor onto only messages
marked with '*'. To skip parts, call "n" or "p" with "C-u".
* The default folder name of draft changed from "+drafts" to "+draft"
so that its length became equal to "+inbox" and "+trash".
* Some key-bindings in Draft mode were changed to keep C-c "key" for
users.
C-cM -> C-cC-a
C-cu -> C-cC-l
C-cy -> C-cC-t
* C-cC-u(undo) in Draft mode works for any kinds of messages. For this
reason, mew-mime-compose-folder-delete is set 'delete by default.
* PGP/MIME became very stable. And verification message turned more
informational.
e.g. "No public key" -> "No his/her public key"
C-cC-u works even for PGP shortcuts.
* Refile scheme was changed much.
mew-auto-folder-alist -> mew-refile-guess-alist
mew-refile-folder-guess-functions -> mew-refile-guess-control
* Pick interface(for "?", "/", and "V") was changed. Examples are below:
to=mew-dist
to=kazu & cc=kazu
* Burst("B") on Summary mode is now really cool.
* Subject is displayed for Message/Rfc822 if Content-Description: is empty.
* "C-uZ" on Summary mode saves Mail/.folders if mew-use-folders-file-p.
If mew-use-folders-file-p is t, Mew loads Mail/.folders at boot time.
* Many similar codes were integrated.
* Some function names were changed.
mew-mark-process-all-folders -> mew-mark-clean-up-all
(Remove kill-emacs-hook from .emacs if it contains
mew-mark-process-all-folders.)
* Some variables were changed.
Each members of mew-folders-ignore must start with "+" or "=".
Value of mew-folders-default-folder must start with "+" or "=".
* Support RFC 2047(aka MIME header encoding/decoding) precisely.
* Color is now used by default. Remove configurations concerned with
fonts from each hooks!.
