Changes since version 1.10.1:
+ inotify is used for local mailbox monitoring on Linux. Configuration flag
--disable-filemonitor turns this off.
+ OAUTHBEARER support for IMAP, SMTP and POP via
$imap_oauth_refresh_command, $smtp_oauth_refresh_command, and
$pop_oauth_refresh_command.
! $pgp_timeout and $smime_timeout support 32-bit numbers.
+ <check-stats> manually updates mailbox statistics, the same way
$mail_check_stats does when set.
! Thread limited views, e.g. ~(pattern), now show new mail as it arrives.
! Command line argument -z and -Z options also work for IMAP mailboxes.
+ $imap_condstore and $imap_qresync enable IMAP CONDSTORE and QRESYNC
support, respectively. QRESYNC should provide much faster mailbox opening.
! $abort_noattach skips quoted lines (as defined by $quote_regexp and
$smileys).
! Initial IMAP header downloading can be aborted with ctrl-c.
+ <compose-to-sender> composes a message to the sender of the selected
message, in the index or attachment menu.
! Address book queries ($query_format) now support multibyte characters.
+ Finnish translation.
! pgpring has been renamed to mutt_pgpring.
! Certificate prompts show sha-256 instead of md5 fingerprints.
! Non-threaded $sort_aux "reverse-" settings now work properly.
+ The manual can be generated and installed in GNU Info format.
+ index-format-hook and the new %@name@ expando for $index_format enable
dynamic index formats using pattern matching against the current message.
This can be used, for example, to format dates based on the age of
the message.
! Relative date matching allows hour, minute, and second units: HMS.
This is a bug fix release, and includes a few important security fixes.
It is strongly recommended that IMAP and POP users upgrade as soon as
possible.
This is a feature release. Changes since version 1.9.5:
! $reply_self is now respected for group-reply, even with $metoo unset.
! Enabled $imap_poll_timeout when $imap_idle is set.
! Added %R (number of read messages) expando for $status_format.
+ When $change_folder_next is set, the <change-folder> function
mailbox suggestion will start at the next folder in your
"mailboxes" list, instead of starting at the first folder in the
list.
+ $new_mail_command specifies a command to run after a new message is
received.
+ $pgp_default_key specifies the default key-pair to use for PGP
operations. It will be used for both encryption and signing
(unless $pgp_sign_as is set). See contrib/gpg.rc.
! $smime_default_key now specifies the default key-pair to use for
both encryption and signing S/MIME operations. See
contrib/smime.rc.
+ $smime_sign_as can be used to specify a sign-only key-pair for
S/MIME operations.
- $pgp_self_encrypt_as is now deprecated, and is an alias for
$pgp_default_key. $smime_self_encrypt_as is also deprecated, and
is an alias for $smime_default_key.
! $pgp_self_encrypt and $smime_self_encrypt now default to set.
This makes setting $pgp_default_key or $smime_default_key all that
is required to enable self-encryption (for both classic and GPGME
mode).
+ The <history-search> function (default: ^R) will search history based
on the text currently typed in. That is, type the search string first,
then hit ^R.
+ The $abort_noattach quadoption controls whether to abort sending a
message that matches $abort_noattach_regexp and has no attachments.
+ Mutt can now be configured --with-idn2. This requires the libidn1
compatibility layer present in libidn2 v2.0.0 or greater.
+ Unsetting $browser_abbreviate_mailboxes turns off '=' and '~'
shortcuts for mailbox names in the browser mailbox list.
! $sort_browser now has 'count' and 'unread' options.
+ <error-history> will display the last $error_history count of
error/informational messages generated.
+ The ~M pattern matches content-type headers. Note that this
pattern may be slow because it reads each message in.
+ The "echo" command can be used to display a message, for instance
when running a macro or sourcing a file.
This is a bug fix release. Fixes include:
* GPGME S/MIME non-detached signature handling.
* A compilation issue with ncurses-6.1 when tinfow is split out.
Hopefully the fix doesn't impact anyone: please let me know of any
issues.
* Regular expression crashes and weird behavior problems on MacOS (and
possibly other BSDs). This was most noticeable with the recent Xcode
9.3 release, but the issue has existed for a while.
* GSSAPI authentication issues, which may have affected Exchange users.
We've changed behavior to match the RFC. If you are negatively
impacted by this, please let me know.
Changes since version 1.9.0:
This is a bug fix release, coming shortly after the last release due to
a possible segfault fix with IMAP. There are also fixes for the trash
folder, imap_poll_timeout, and GMail flags notifications.
+ $ssl_verify_partial_chains permits verifying partial certificate chains.
This allows the storage of only intermediate/host certificates in the
$certificate_file. (OpenSSL 1.0.2b and newer only)
! SNI support added for OpenSSL and GnuTLS.
+ Choice and confirmation prompts can now wrap across multiple lines.
+ Window resizes are handled while in the line editor.
+ "color compose" can color the compose menu header fields and the
security status. See "Using Color and Mono Video Attributes" in the
manual for more details.
+ Setting $header_color_partial allows partial coloring of headers in the
pager. This can be used to color just the header labels, or strings
inside the headers. hdrdefault controls the color of the unmatched part.
+ When $history_remove_dups is set, duplicates in the history ring will
be scanned and removed each time a new entry is added.
! IMAP header downloading was improved to support out-of-order and
missing MSN entries.
! $message_cache_clean should be faster for large mailboxes.
+ Self-encryption can be enabled using the $pgp_self_encrypt,
$pgp_self_encrypt_as, $smime_self_encrypt, and $smime_self_encrypt_as
options.
! $postpone_encrypt now will use the $pgp_self_encrypt_as or
$smime_self_encrypt_as option values first. $postpone_encrypt_as will
be checked second, but should be considered deprecated.
+ $forward_attribution_intro and $forward_attribution_trailer can be used
to customize the message preceding and following a forwarded message.
+ The ~<() and ~>() pattern operators match messages whose immediate parent,
or immediate children respectively, match the subpattern inside ().
They are more specific versions of the ~() pattern operator.
+ $imap_poll_timeout allow IMAP mailbox polling to time out. This defaults
to 15 seconds.
+ The attachment menu now supports nested encryption. This allows
attachments in nested encrypted messages to be saved or operated on.
+ $mime_type_query_command specifies a command to run to determine
a new attachment's mime type. When $mime_type_query_first is set,
this command will be run before looking at the mime.types file.
1.8.0 (2017-02-24):
- $locale has been removed. Mutt now respects the LC_TIME setting
instead. See also $attribution_locale.
+ $attribution_locale can be used to override the date formatting in
attribution strings. When unset, Mutt will use the locale
environment, but note the default value of $date_format has a
leading '!' which says to use the C-locale.
! Message-id and mail-followup-to headers are now preserved for recalled
messages.
+ <unsidebar_whitelist> added to complement <sidebar_whitelist>.
! The pager position is reset to the top when toggling header-weed.
! IMAP messages moved to $trash via server-side copy are marked as read.
+ <root-message> jumps to the root message of a thread.
! Piped text attachments are charset converted.
+ Added %F to $attach_format, to show the content-disposition filename.
%d will fall back to %F which will fall back to %f.
+ <rename-attachment> allows an attachment name to be changed, without
modifying the underlying file's name.
! Mutt will look for the user's muttrc additionally in
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mutt/.
+ Compressed mbox and mmdf files are now supported via open-hook,
close-hook, and append-hook. See contrib/sample.muttrc-compress
for suggested settings. Note this is a compile-time option:
--enable-compressed.
+ When $flag_safe is set, flagged messages cannot be deleted.
+ The '@' pattern modifier can be used to limit matches to known aliases.
+ <mark-message> creates a hotkey binding to a specific message. The hotkey
prefix is specified via $mark_macro_prefix.
+ <setenv> and <unsetenv> can be used to add/remove environment variables
passed to children.
! Mutt will now use the built-in OpenSSL SSL_set_verify() callback
to verify certificates. This allows better support for verifying
chains, including alternative chain support.
+ $uncollapse_new controls whether a thread will be uncollapsed when a new
message arrives.
! $to_chars and $status_chars now accept multibyte characters.
+ <subjectrx> allows replacing matching subjects with something else.
This can be used to declutter subject lines in the index.
+ <edit-label> can be used to add, change, or delete a message's X-Label.
! Pattern expressions with ~y support label tab completion.
+ The header cache now also supports Kyoto Cabinet and LMDB as
backend databases.
[not yet supported in pkgsrc]
1.7.0 (2016-08-18):
! Improved alignment when using multi-column characters with
soft-fill (%*X) and right-justified (%>X) format strings.
+ The COLUMNS environment variable will be set to the width of the
pager when invoking display filters. This can be used in
copiousoutput mailcap entries to allow their output to match the
pager width.
+ The sidebar patch has been merged. Please watch for airborne
bovine. See the documentation for all the options, or simply
enable it with 'set sidebar_visible'.
+ $mail_check_stats and $mail_check_stats_interval control whether,
and how often, to scan for unread, flagged, and total message
counts when checking for new mail in mailboxes. These statistics
can be displayed in the sidebar and browser.
+ $trash, when set, specifies the path of the folder where mails
marked for deletion will be moved, instead of being irremediably
purged.
+ The <purge-message> function can be used to delete an entry and
bypass the trash folder.
+ $folder_format has new format strings %m and %n, to display
total and unread message counts for mailboxes. Note that
$mail_check_stats should be enabled to use these.
! When browsing IMAP, %N will now display 'N', instead of the unread
message count. Please use %n to display unread messages.
+ Enabled utf-8 mailbox support for IMAP.
+ New expandos %r and %R for comma separated list of To: and Cc:
recipients respectively.
+ Improved support for internationalized email and SMTPUTF8 (RFC653[0-3]).
! $use_idn has been renamed to $idn_decode.
+ $idn_encode controls whether outgoing email address domains will
be IDNA encoded. If your MTA supports it, unset to use utf-8
email address domains.
+ The S/MIME message digest algorithm is now specified using the
option $smime_sign_digest_alg. Note that $smime_sign_command
should be modified to include "-md %d". Please see
contrib/smime.rc.
+ $reflow_space_quotes allows format=flowed email quotes to be
displayed with spacing between them.
! multipart draft files are now supported.
+ The "-E" command line argument causes mutt to edit draft or include files.
All changes made in mutt will be saved back out to those files.
+ $resume_draft_files and $resume_edited_draft_files control how
mutt processes draft files.
+ For classic gpg mode, $pgp_decryption_okay should be set to verify
multipart/encrypted are actually encrypted. Please see
contrib/gpg.rc for the suggested value.
! mailto URL header parameters by default are now restricted to
'body' and 'subject'.
+ mailto_allow and unmailto_allow can be used to add or remove
allowed mailto header parameters.
! The method of setting $hostname has been changed. Rather than
scanning /etc/resolv.conf, the domain will now be determined using
DNS calls.

Loosen mutt_signed_handler() protocol value consistency check. (closes#3639)
Apparently, for S/MIME, some MUAs mismatch the protocol value of
the multipart/signed and the content-type of the signature: putting
"pkcs7-signature" in one and "x-pkcs7-signature" in the other.
Change mutt_signed_handler() to independently verify the values of the
protocol and the content-type. This still checks for correct values but
doesn't ensure they match between the two (for S/MIME).
Update compressed patch to follow suit.
Remove x-label option since patch hasn't been updated since 1.5.17 (2007).
Comment out sidebar option since patch hasn't been updated yet.
Changes:
1.5.24 contains several new features in addition to bug fixes, perhaps
hinting it's past time to release 1.6.0. At the very least, the Mutt
team would like to encourage everyone to consider this release as
"very close to stable" and suggest anyone still using the 1.4 series
please upgrade.
A few changes were made to the suggested GPG and S/MIME configuration
settings. Please take the time to review the UPDATING file, as well
as the sample gpg.rc and smime.rc files under the contrib
subdirectory.
We'd like to thank everyone who contributed patches, bug reports,
translation, feedback, documentation updates, and testing. We're
grateful for all of your help in making this release happen.
