[RELEASED] nmh-0.21-pre2 (beta 2)

1998-02-02 07:43:06
The second beta release of nmh-0.21 is available at:
ftp://ftp.math.gatech.edu/pub/nmh/beta/nmh-0.21-pre2.tar.gz

There are lots of new goodies

1) There is a new format string escape %(decode) to decode
   RFC-2047 header fields.  By default, the header fields "Subject:"
   and "From:"  will now be done for the commands scan, inc, show,
   and mhn -show.

2) mhl has a new variable "decode" which will decode RFC-2047 headers
   fields.  Essentially this is a convenient way of calling the new
   format string escape mentioned above.

3) The default "showproc" is now mhl, rather than the command "more".

4) The command "mhn" has been split.  The functionality to build
   MIME messages (mhn -build) has been moved to its own command
   "mhbuild".  For backward compability, if you call "mhn -build",
   then mhn will call mhbuild for you automatically.

   By making this split, I was able to clean up the code, as well
   as make the man pages more readable.

5) Character set handling is improved.  The various commands now know
   that US-ASCII is a subset of any ISO-8859-X character set.

6) The command "show" is better at deciding which mail messages are
   MIME messages (because of better character set handling), and shouldn't
   call the "showmimeproc" (essentially mhn -show) as much as before.

Please send bug reports to nmh-workers(_at_)math(_dot_)gatech(_dot_)edu, rather 
than
directly to me.

Thanks,
