Announcing Mutt 0.91
====================
NOTE: PLEASE read the following list of changes carefully, especially the
first couple entries related to changes in variables/commands and see the
manual before posting questions. Taking a little time to read this notice
will significantly reduce the amount of confusion as to why some things
might seem broken at first.
Major changes since 0.89.1:
- The matching for the send-hook, save-hook and fcc-hook commands has been
extended so that it understands Mutt's matching language (used for
searching and limits). You may still use a "simple" regular expression,
but Mutt will expand that with the value of $default_hook (similar to
$simple_search). Additionally, all hooks are now executed in the order
they appear in your .muttrc instead of first doing `to', then `cc'.
- new config command `score' which allows you to assign a numerical value to
a message based upon header information (similar to scoring in slrn). the
score can be displed in $hdr_format with %N, you can sort by `score' and
you can match messages with a certain score (or range) with the `~n'
operator
- new variable $beep_new which causes Mutt to beep when new mail is
delivered to a mailbox specified by the `mailboxes' command
- new sort method `to' for sorting by who messages are addressed to
- new variable $meta_key which causes Mutt to interpet keystrokes with the
hi bit set as ESC plus the key with the hi bit stripped (eg. ALT-x will
get interpetted as "\ex")
- new variable $sort_alias which controls the order the aliases appear in
the menu (may be either "alias" or "address")
- new variable $alias_format to control the way the aliases are displayed in
the alias menu
- additional operators to the pattern matching lanauge:
~S superseded messages
~E expired messages
~p personal mail (finds $alternates in to: or cc:)
~P mail from you (finds $alternates in from: or sender:)
~l list mail (finds `lists' in to: or cc:)
~L<pattern> finds <pattern> in to:, cc:, from: or sender:
~C<pattern> finds <pattern> in to: or cc:
- additional formats for $hdr_format
%N displays the message score
%(fmt) displayes the message's received time using strftime()
- additional formats for $status_format
%P percentage of menu seen
%S current value of $sort_aux (%s no longer displays $sort_aux)
%o number of old messages
%u number of unread messages
- new configure option `--enable-exact-address' which causes Mutt to rewrite
addresses in the same format they were parsed instead of rewriting them in
the form `Name <user@host>'
- new command line argument `-e' which allows you to specify configuration
commands to be executed *after* your .muttrc is parsed
(eg. mutt -e 'set edit_hdrs' mutt-dev)
- you can now use `mono <object> normal' to set to normal attribute
- new function `search-opposite' which searches for the current search
pattern in the opposition direction from the previous search
Mutt's primary distribution point is ftp://ftp.cs.hmc.edu/pub/me/mutt.
