147 (The references are made to docs/schnalke-mmh.pdf. Explanations can
152 - All network transfer facilities have been removed. There is no MTS
153 (SMTP client) anymore and no POP client. An MSA/MTA is required to
154 send mail. An MRA is required to retrieve mail via POP/IMAP. (Sec.
156 - ~/.mh_profile was moved to ~/.mmh/profile. All configuration files
157 in the mail storage location (~/Mail) were moved to ~/.mmh. The
158 environment variables to change these locations were renamed.
160 - Many configure options were removed. (Sec. 2.1.4)
161 - A bunch of recent changes in nmh were pulled into mmh.
162 - The man page mmh-intro(7) was added.
166 - Jon Steinhart's attachment system is made the default and is
167 combined smoothly with automatic MIMEification, as needed. The
168 `mime' command at the WhatNow prompt is therefore no longer needed
169 and thus removed. Use of Mime-Type-Query command (usually file(1))
170 to determine the MIME type of an attachment. No more writing of
171 mhbuild directives, although it is still possible to do so. (Sec.
173 - The draft folder facility is always used. All support for a single
174 draft message is removed. The commands, especially comp(1), were
175 adjusted to this change. (Sec. 2.2.4)
176 - A trash folder facility is added. Backup prefixes are no longer
178 - By default, messages are always displayed serially in a single
179 pager session without pausing. Foreign charsets are transcoded
180 automatically (with iconv(1)). (Sec. 2.2.2)
181 - Attachments are stored under their filename, instead of the message
182 number and MIME part number, by default. Tar files are no longer
183 extracted automatically. (Sec. 2.2.2)
184 - scan(1) listings do no longer show body contents.
185 - MMDF maildrop format support is removed. (Sec. 2.2.1) Support for
186 UUCP bang paths is gone, too.
187 - There is no more support for automatic message/external-body
188 retrieval. The internal FTP client was dropped as well.
189 - Removed the internal pager.
190 - There is no more hardcopy terminal support. (Sec. 2.2.1)
194 - The old show(1) was dropped and mhshow(1) was renamed to show(1).
196 - Digital typography is added by including Neil Rickert's scripts:
197 mhsign(1) is invoked automatically by send(1) if the draft message
198 contains `Enc:' or `Sign:' header fields. Up to now, the user needs
199 to run mhpgp(1) manually, still. (Sec. 2.2.3)
200 - conflict, rcvtty, viamail, msgchk, and msh were removed. (Sec. 2.1.2)
201 - Replaced install-mh(1) with the shell script mmh(1).
202 - slocal(1) lost its suppress duplicates feature and mmh thus lost the
204 - packf(1) prints to stdout.
206 - whom(1) is rewritten from scratch.
207 - Many command line switches were removed. (Sec. 2.1.5)
208 - anno(1)'s command line switches were structurally reworked. Check
209 the man page for details. (Sec. 2.3.2)
210 - Replaced the command line option `-format foo' with `-form =foo'.
212 - Path notations (with +, @, /, .) can now be used more interchangeable.
214 - All tools read the profile now. (Sec. 2.3.3)
215 - Renamed the -version switch to -Version.
219 - The standard sequences `first', `prev', `cur', `next', `last',
220 `all', `new' were renamed to `f', `p', `c', `n', `l', `a', `b',
222 - The unseen sequence and the sequence negation are set by default.
223 repl(1) quotes the original message by default and forw(1) uses
224 MIME encapsulation by default. (Sec. 2.2.5)
228 - The indent style was changed -- sorry for that. (Sec. 2.3.1)
229 - Standard library functions have replaced local replacements, when
230 possible. (Sec. 2.3.4)
231 - The programs are more separated now. Instead of sharing source code,
232 the programs invoke each other. (Sec. 2.3.6)
233 - Mmh comprises only about half as much code as nmh-1.3.
237 The starting point of mmh is:
238 nmh-1.3-dev (as of 2011-04-13)
