Visible changes since Mutt 1.2
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
|
|
Folder formats and folder access
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Better mh support: Mutt now supports .mh_sequences files.
|
|
Currently, the "unseen", "flagged", and "replied" sequences are
|
|
used to store mutt flags (the names are configurable using the
|
|
$mh_seq_unseen, $mh_seq_flagged, and $mh_seq_replied configuration
|
|
variables). As a side effect, messages in MH folders are no longer
|
|
rewritten upon status changes.
|
|
|
|
- The "trashed" flag is supported for maildir folders. See
|
|
$maildir_trash.
|
|
|
|
- POP folder support. You can now access a POP mailbox just like an
|
|
IMAP folder (with obvious restrictions due to the protocol).
|
|
|
|
- URL syntax for remote folders. You can pass things like
|
|
pop://account@host and imap://account@host/folder as arguments for
|
|
the -f command line flag.
|
|
|
|
- STARTTLS support. If $ssl_starttls is set (the default), mutt
|
|
will attempt to use STARTTLS on servers advertising that
|
|
capability.
|
|
|
|
- $preconnect. If set, a shell command to be executed if mutt fails
|
|
to establish a connection to the server. This is useful for
|
|
setting up secure connections; see the muttrc(5) for details.
|
|
|
|
- $tunnel. Use a pipe to a command instead of a raw socket. See
|
|
muttrc(5) for details. (Basically, it's another way for setting
|
|
up secure connections.)
|
|
|
|
- More new IMAP/POP-related variables (see muttrc(5) for details):
|
|
$connect_timeout, $imap_authenticators, $imap_delim_chars,
|
|
$imap_peek, $pop_authenticators, $pop_auth_try_all,
|
|
$pop_checkinterval, $pop_delete, $pop_reconnect, $use_ipv6.
|
|
|
|
- The following IMAP/POP-related variables are gone:
|
|
$imap_checkinterval, $imap_cramkey, $pop_port.
|
|
|
|
- There's a new imap-fetch-mail function, which forces a check for
|
|
new messages on an IMAP server.
|
|
|
|
- The new-mailbox function was renamed to create-mailbox, and is
|
|
bound to C instead of n by default.
|
|
|
|
Character set support
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
- Mutt now uses the iconv interface for character set conversions.
|
|
This means that you need either a very modern libc, or Bruno
|
|
Haible's libiconv, which is available from
|
|
<http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/>.
|
|
|
|
- With sufficiently recent versions of ncurses and slang, mutt works
|
|
properly in utf-8 locales.
|
|
|
|
- On sufficiently modern systems, the $charset variable's value is
|
|
automatically derived from the locale you use. (Note, however,
|
|
that manually setting it to a value which is compatible with your
|
|
locale doesn't do any harm.)
|
|
|
|
- $send_charset is a colon-separated list of character sets now,
|
|
defaulting to us-ascii:iso-8859-1:utf-8.
|
|
|
|
- charset-hook defines aliases for character sets encountered in
|
|
messages (say, someone tags his messages with latin15 when he
|
|
means iso-8859-15), iconv-hook defines local names for character
|
|
sets (for systems which don't know about MIME names; see
|
|
contrib/iconv for sample configuration snippets).
|
|
|
|
- The change-charset function is gone. Use edit-type (C-e on the
|
|
compose menu) instead.
|
|
|
|
- The recode-attachment function is gone.
|
|
|
|
Other changes
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
- There's a new variable $compose_format for the compose screen's
|
|
status line. You can now include the message's approximate
|
|
on-the-wire size.
|
|
|
|
- The attachment menu knows about collapsing now: Using
|
|
collapse-parts (bound to "v" by default), you can collapse and
|
|
uncollapse parts of the attachment tree. This function is also
|
|
available from the pager when invoked from the attachment tree.
|
|
|
|
Normally, the recvattach menu will start uncollapsed. However,
|
|
with the new $digest_collapse option (which is set by default),
|
|
the individual messages contained in digests will be displayed
|
|
collapsed. (That is, there's one line per message.)
|
|
|
|
- Using $display_filter, you can specify a command which filters
|
|
messages before they are displayed.
|
|
|
|
- Using message-hook, you can execute mutt configuration commands
|
|
before a message is displayed (or formatted before replying).
|
|
|
|
- If you don't want that mutt moves flagged messages to your mbox,
|
|
set $keep_flagged.
|
|
|
|
- Setting the $pgp_ignore_subkeys variable will cause mutt to ignore
|
|
OpenPGP. This option is set by default, and it's suggested that
|
|
you leave it.
|
|
|
|
- $pgp_sign_micalg has gone. Mutt now automatically determines what
|
|
MIC algorithm was used for a particular signature.
|
|
|
|
- If $pgp_good_sign is set, then a PGP signature is only considered
|
|
verified if the output from $pgp_verify_command matches this
|
|
regular expression. It's suggested that you set this variable to
|
|
the typical text message output by PGP (or GPG, or whatever)
|
|
produces when it encounters a good signature.
|
|
|
|
- There's a new function, check-traditional-pgp, which is bound to
|
|
esc-P by default. It'll check whether a text parts of a message
|
|
contain PGP encrypted or signed material, and possibly adjust
|
|
content types.
|
|
|
|
- $print_split. If this option is set, $print_command run
|
|
separately for each message you print. Useful with enscript(1)'s
|
|
mail printing mode.
|
|
|
|
- $sig_on_top. Include the signature before any quoted or forwarded
|
|
text. WARNING: use of this option may provoke flames.
|
|
|
|
- $text_flowed. When set, mutt will generate text/plain attachments
|
|
with the format=flowed parameter. In order to properly produce
|
|
such messages, you'll need an appropriate editor mode. Note that
|
|
the $indent_string option is ignored with flowed text.
|
|
|
|
- $to_chars has grown: Mailing list messages are now tagged with an
|
|
L in the index. If you want the old behaviour back, add this to
|
|
your .muttrc: set to_chars=" +TCF "
|
|
|
|
- New emacs-like functions in the line editor: backward-word (M-b),
|
|
capitalize-word (M-c), downcase-word (M-l), upcase-word (M-u),
|
|
forward-word (M-f), kill-eow (M-d), tranpose-chars (unbound).
|
|
|
|
transpose-chars is unbound by default because external query
|
|
occupies C-t. Suggested alternative binding:
|
|
|
|
bind editor "\e\t" complete-query
|
|
bind editor "\Ct" transpose-chars
|
|
|
|
- mailto URL support: You can pass a mailto URL to mutt on the
|
|
command line.
|
|
|
|
- If $duplicate_threads is set, mutt's new threading code will
|
|
thread messages with the same message-id together. Duplication
|
|
will be indicated with an equals sign in the thread diagram.
|
|
|
|
You can also limit your view to the duplicates (or exclude
|
|
duplicates from view) by using the "~=" pattern.
