Has the release stalled?

Re: Scan of folders with 10k+ messages?
Harlan Stenn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a folder with more than 10k messages in it. Scan now displays these messages as ?nnn, where nnn is really digits. What do I need to hack to allow for a wider field? That would be the format file (e.g. /etc/nmh/scan.default on Debian systems). See the `-form' option in the `scan' man page. BTW, the current release of the Emacs front-end MH-E does this automatically, detecting the number of messages to display in a given folder. See http://mh-e.sourceforge.net/ -- Peter S.

Re: Improving attachment viewing
Jon Steinhart [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Where we're had to move away from nmh towards gnus is in MIME composition (e.g. for the ability to specify inline/attachment). You might want to look at the attachment stuff that I checked in a while back. I implemented it in such a way that it could easily be incorporated into MH-E. Great, Thanks. It might be nice to be able to output a character in a scan column if attachments are present. MH-E could even replace that character with a paperclip glyph or something to pretty it up. Seems to me that my notion of scanning attachments is getting the most attention here, even though it's not the most important part to me. Sorry, I know. I was really only commenting on the MH-E implications. We could use a MIME attachment marker in scan output, but we won't be using any nmh method to display message parts since we do that part in elisp. So go ahaed and add features in order to better display MIME parts from the shell (that's great!), but we won't need nor use them in MH-E. -- Peter S.

Re: Using web browser mail agent as nmh message viewer
Jerry Peek [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, all. Hi Jerry, I've decided to try going back to using nmh commands like show, rmm, etc. as my first-pass mail interface... and to use Mozilla's mail agent to display the MIME messages I want to see. (I know that I could also use exmh. But I typically keep two main windows open on my display: a tall terminal window and a stack of Mozilla windows. Also, Mozilla does a much better job of rendering web pages, handling links, etc. than exmh [used to do].) Since you mention exmh as an alternative that's not quite good enough, I'll make it my duty (as an mh-e developer) to mention that mh-e now handles MIME quite well. See an example screen shot at: http://mh-e.sourceforge.net/screenshots/ I know that users who prefer the command line will stick to it and won't want to use mh-e, but at least you can fire up Emacs and mh-e to read your MH mail in it's native format without changing anything. So it's a solution to consider for MIME stuff. Peter
Default charset
Sending messages with accented characters results result in a MIME charset=x-unknown (as documented in the mhbuild man page). Would we be better served by a default of, say, iso-8859-1 ? (The MS Exchange server used here chokes on charset=x-unknown. As much as I hate to change stuff to get around other broken software, I thought I'd suggest this.)
