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control the way the aliases are displayed in the alias menu - additional operators to the pattern matching lanauge: ~S superseded messages ~E expired messages ~p personal mail (finds $alternates in to: or cc:) ~P mail from you (finds $alternates in from: or sender:) ~l list mail (finds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 finds in to:, cc:, from: or sender: ~C finds 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 ' - 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 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.
