+====================
+mmh-0.1 (2012-12-08)
+====================
+
+(The references are made to docs/schnalke-mmh.pdf. Explanations can
+be found there.)
+
+General
+-------
+- All network transfer facilities have been removed. There is no MTS
+ (SMTP client) anymore and no POP client. An MSA/MTA is required to
+ send mail. An MRA is required to retrieve mail via POP/IMAP. (Sec.
+ 2.1.1)
+- ~/.mh_profile was moved to ~/.mmh/profile. All configuration files
+ in the mail storage location (~/Mail) were moved to ~/.mmh. The
+ environment variables to change these locations were renamed.
+ (Sec. 2.3.5)
+- Many configure options were removed. (Sec. 2.1.4)
+- A bunch of recent changes in nmh were pulled into mmh.
+- The man page mmh-intro(7) was added.
+
+Features
+--------
+- Jon Steinhart's attachment system is made the default and is
+ combined smoothly with automatic MIMEification, as needed. The
+ `mime' command at the WhatNow prompt is therefore no longer needed
+ and thus removed. Use of Mime-Type-Query command (usually file(1))
+ to determine the MIME type of an attachment. No more writing of
+ mhbuild directives, although it is still possible to do so. (Sec.
+ 2.2.2)
+- The draft folder facility is always used. All support for a single
+ draft message is removed. The commands, especially comp(1), were
+ adjusted to this change. (Sec. 2.2.4)
+- A trash folder facility is added. Backup prefixes are no longer
+ used. (Sec. 2.2.4)
+- By default, messages are always displayed serially in a single
+ pager session without pausing. Foreign charsets are transcoded
+ automatically (with iconv(1)). (Sec. 2.2.2)
+- Attachments are stored under their filename, instead of the message
+ number and MIME part number, by default. Tar files are no longer
+ extracted automatically. (Sec. 2.2.2)
+- scan(1) listings do no longer show body contents.
+- MMDF maildrop format support is removed. (Sec. 2.2.1) Support for
+ UUCP bang paths is gone, too.
+- There is no more support for automatic message/external-body
+ retrieval. The internal FTP client was dropped as well.
+- Removed the internal pager.
+- There is no more hardcopy terminal support. (Sec. 2.2.1)
+
+Programs
+--------
+- The old show(1) was dropped and mhshow(1) was renamed to show(1).
+ (2.1.3)
+- Digital typography is added by including Neil Rickert's scripts:
+ mhsign(1) is invoked automatically by send(1) if the draft message
+ contains `Enc:' or `Sign:' header fields. Up to now, the user needs
+ to run mhpgp(1) manually, still. (Sec. 2.2.3)
+- conflict, rcvtty, viamail, msgchk, and msh were removed. (Sec. 2.1.2)
+- Replaced install-mh(1) with the shell script mmh(1).
+- slocal(1) lost its suppress duplicates feature and mmh thus lost the
+ dependency on dbm.
+- packf(1) prints to stdout.
+- Added mmhwrap(1).
+- whom(1) is rewritten from scratch.
+- Many command line switches were removed. (Sec. 2.1.5)
+- anno(1)'s command line switches were structurally reworked. Check
+ the man page for details. (Sec. 2.3.2)
+- Replaced the command line option `-format foo' with `-form =foo'.
+ (Sec. 2.1.5)
+- Path notations (with +, @, /, .) can now be used more interchangeable.
+ (Sec. 2.3.2)
+- All tools read the profile now. (Sec. 2.3.3)
+- Renamed the -version switch to -Version.
+
+Sequences
+---------
+- The standard sequences `first', `prev', `cur', `next', `last',
+ `all', `new' were renamed to `f', `p', `c', `n', `l', `a', `b',
+ respectively.
+- The unseen sequence and the sequence negation are set by default.
+ repl(1) quotes the original message by default and forw(1) uses
+ MIME encapsulation by default. (Sec. 2.2.5)
+
+Code
+----
+- The indent style was changed -- sorry for that. (Sec. 2.3.1)
+- Standard library functions have replaced local replacements, when
+ possible. (Sec. 2.3.4)
+- The programs are more separated now. Instead of sharing source code,
+ the programs invoke each other. (Sec. 2.3.6)
+- Mmh comprises only about half as much code as nmh-1.3.
+

+The starting point of mmh is:
+nmh-1.3-dev (as of 2011-04-13)
-This file lists the most important differences between mmh and nmh.
-This list is not complete and will never be; it shall give just a
-quick overview on what kind of changes have been made.
+DIFFERENCES between mmh and nmh
+-------------------------------
-Version mmh-0.1 and nmh-1.3-dev (as of 2011-04-13) are compared.
+Updating this file constantly is a pain.
-References are made to docs/schnalke-mmh.pdf. Explanations are to be
-found there. For a detailed list of changes see the VCS changelog.
