1 README -- Differences between Mailutils and the RAND implementation of MH:
2
3
4 * All programs use usual GNU long options. The support for MH single-dot
5 options is provided for backward compatibility.
6
7 * Format specifications
8 ** Function unre
9 This function is a GNU extension. It removes any leading whitespace
10 and eventual "Re:" prefix from its string argument. Useful for creating
11 subjects in reply messages:
12
13 %<{subject}Subject: Re: %(unre{subject})\\n%>
14
15 ** Function rcpt
16 Mailutils provides new format function rcpt. The function takes a
17 string argument (one of "to", "cc", "me", "all") and returns true
18 if the given element is present in the recipient mask (as modified
19 by any --cc and --nocc options) and false otherwise. It is used in
20 default formats for repl and comp, e.g.:
21
22 %(lit)%<(rcpt to)%(formataddr{to})%>
23
24 Notice that this means that usual replcomps file will be ignoring
25 --cc and --nocc options, unless it has been modified as shown above.
26
27 * rmm
28
29 ** Different behaviour if one of the messages in the list does not exist.
30
31 Mailutils rmm does not delete any messages. Standard rmm in this case
32 deletes all messages preceeding the non-existent one.
33
34 ** The rmmproc: profile component is not used.
35
36 * fmtdump command is not provided. Use fmtcheck instead.

39 Local variables:
40 mode: outline
41 paragraph-separate: "[ ]*$"
