+------------
+NEW FEATURES
+------------
+
+- All nmh programs will now warn about multiple profile entries for
+ the same non-null, non-comment component. 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.
+
+
+----------------------------
+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:
