    Please read the RELNOTES file for important information regarding
    upgrading to v2.2.0 from previous releases.

        o  New resource

                MSGIDLINK         - Hyperlink markup for message-ids
                SUBJECTARTICLERXP - Regex to match articles (a,an,the)
                                    in subject text.
                SUBJECTREPLYRXP   - Regex to match reply annotation
                                    in subject text.
                TSLICE            - Set the size of a thread slice listing
                TSLICEBEG         - Begin markup of a thread slice listing
                TSLICEEND         - End markup of a thread slice listing

        o  New resource variables

                $TSLICE$          - Print thread listing slice relative to
                                    current message.

        o  Added default=charset option to mhtxtplain.pl filter.

        o  Added mhtxttsv.pl to handle text/tab-separated-values
           content.

        o  Expanded list of recognized content-types in mhexternal.pl.

        o  Changed loading of decoders, charset convertes, and
           content-type filters to be done on demand.  Should
           provide an increase in start-up time.

        o  Modified source so no Perl structures are in the "main"
           package.  The base package is now "mhonarc".  This
           should make it easier for incorporating mhonarc into
           another Perl program.

           *IMPORTANT*: This change causes changes to db file format.
           See release notes on how to upgrade pre v2.2 archives.

        o  Main routines are now located in mhamain.pl.  The main
           mhonarc source file now just requires mhamain.pl and
           just calls two main functions.

        o  Although code should still be Perl 4 compatible, Perl
           related resource documentation now puts preference to
           Perl 5 notations (eg: MIMEFILTERS, CHARSETCONVERTERS).

Bug List
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version:        2.1.2
Problem:        The @TListOrder array is empty in .mhonarc.db when
                MULTIPG is set.  This may cause some messages not
                getting properly updated when new messages are added.
Solution:       Removed use of splice on @TListOrder when MULTIPG.
                Now, array slices are used so @TListOrder is preserved.
Version Fixed:  2.2.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version:        2.1.2
Problem:        Convert ISO-2022-JP messages can generate "Out of
                Memory" errors.
Solution:       The cleanup of mhtxtplain.pl's iso-2022-jp code
                introduced a bug that caused an infinite loop and
                to gobble memoery until it ran out.  The fix was
                straight-forward.
Version Fixed:  2.2.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version:        2.1.2
Problem:        Quoted text that is broken due to maxwidth setting of
                the mhtxtplain.pl filter did not have the quote
                character prepended to broken the text.
Solution:       A regex updated to dealing with a leading space before
                quote character.
Version Fixed:  2.2.0
