Hello,
We are happy to announce that Mew version 5.2 has been released:
http://www.mew.org/Release/mew-5.2.tar.gz
Again, the differences between Mew 5.2 and Mew 5.1 are:
* Full S/MIME support based on GnuPG 2.
http://www.mew.org/feature/smime.html.en
* Automatic resizing for large JPEG/PNG images.
* Hyper Estraier support.
http://www.mew.org/feature/est.html.en
Hyper Estraier is a full text search engine based on the N-gram
algorithm which is independent on language. You can search your target
messages from ALL folders on Windows, Mac, and UNIX.

Subject: [mew-release 84] Mew 5.1
From: Kazu Yamamoto <kazu@...>

Hello all,
We are pleased to inform you that we have finally released Mew 5.1:
http://www.mew.org/
The major version is now 5 since the ".mew" suffix is introduced for
recent search technologies including Windows Desktop and Spotlight.
Mew can treat a file as a message if its name is number only or number
+ ".mew". Windows Desktop and Spotlight can make indexes of messages
thanks to the suffix.
Thus the highlight of Mew 5.1 is a new search service. Please read the
manual of Mew 5.1 to know how to used it:
http://www.mew.org/release/info/
You may find more information on this from:
http://www.mew.org/feature/
Attached is the contents of the 00diff file.
We would thank you all people who have supported the development of
Mew 5.1.

<Differences between Mew 5.1 and Mew 4.2>
* The ".mew" suffix is introduced for OS level search mechanisms.
* OS level search mechanisms including Spotlight, Windows Desktop
Search, Google Desktop are integrated.
* The mechanism of master password was implemented.
Set mew-use-master-passwd to t to use it.
* When sending a message, if your SMTP server requires user
authentication, Mew asks you to input your password. You don't have
to configure mew-smtp-user anymore.
* In Draft mode, addresses which are not considered safe turn red.
See mew-safe-addresses, mew-warn-addresses, mew-safe-domains, and
mew-warn-domains.
* You can securely save your passwords to a file with a master
password.
* "li" copies a message to an IMAP folder.
* "I" now works in Thread mode.
* "C-cC-e" in Summary has been drastically improved.
* "C-cC-t" and "C-cC-y" in Summary were obsoleted.
* 'mew-inbox-action-alist' can be set in 'mew-config-alist'.
* "v" in Summary mode displays line numbers when off.
* "C-uj" in Summary mode jumps to the message whose message number is
specified.
* "C-uB" decomposes any attached files.
* If you want to put the 'D' mark to duplicated messages
whose boyies are identical (ie spams), set
mew-summary-form-mark-spam to t.
* All variables can be defined in ".mew.el". You don't have to
set specific variables in ".emacs".

Hello guys,
We are pleased to inform you that the stable version of Mew 3.2 is now

http://www.mew.org/Release/mew-3.2.tar.gz

it is notified in mode line ("Sec" or a lock image).
* Supporting Emacs 21.3's native UTF-8.

v3 and v4 are supported and support for "openssl s_client" is
obsoleted.
* Supporting X-Face: on Emacs 21. To use X-Face: on any Emacsen,
install "uncompface" command and the "netpbm" package.

mew-noreplyto-to-list
mew-noreplyto-cc-list
mew-replyto-to-list
mew-replyto-cc-list
mew-fromme-to-list
mew-fromme-cc-list

Mew-2.1
Subject: [mew-release 00070] Mew 2.1
From: Kazu Yamamoto <kazu@...>
Date: Thu, 01 Nov 2001 09:24:52 +0900 (JST)
Hello all,
We are pleased to inform you that Mew 2.1 is now available.
http://www.mew.org/Release/mew-2.1.tar.gz
Mew 2.1 is faster, more stable, and more useful than Mew 2.0. We would
recommend you to upgrade Mew to this version.
The 00diff file describes the differences between 2.0 and 2.1 as
follows;
---
* XML is well supported.
* "c" in Summary works like "copy" (by specifying the current folder)
while "o" does like "move".
* "," and C-cC-i are integrated. Use "," to display a part as it is.
C-cC-i now acts like view-file.
* Both ":" and C-cC-l is now friendly for ":".
* +mdrop is implemented. You can remove messages on your POP server
visually.
* Sort (s) and pack (O) became much faster.
* contrib/incdir now moves messages in the "cur" directory as well as
the "new" directory if the "-a" option is specified.
* The "Type 'I'" message is displayed in the minibuffer, not in the body
of a message marked with 'T'.
* The "Type 'T'" message is displayed in the minibuffer when CT: of an
attach file is unknown and the default CT: is chosen.
* mew-case-guess-when-composed works well now.
* "Sort region" (C-uS) now revives.
* A header for a Bcc: message is now well-prepared.
* mew-thread-column is now obsoleted. Put 't' in mew-scan-form to
specify the position of thread indentation.
* Asking Subject: before "Really send this message? ". And asking Fcc:
if folders do not exist.
* The "phrase:addr1,addr2;" notation is allowed in Addrbook if and
only if it doesn't recurse when expanded.
* Some workaround for broken POP servers.
* Many other small bug fixes.

Mew-2.0
Subject: [mew-release 00068] Mew 2.0
From: Kazu Yamamoto <kazu@...>
Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2001 14:49:06 +0900 (JST)
Hi all,
We are pleased to inform you that Mew 2.0 is finally available. We
planned to release it as Mew 1.95. But since its implementation is
different from Mew 1.94 very much, we named it Mew 2.0.
Mew 2.0 is independent from IM. Most parts of it are written in Elisp.
This means Mew 2.0 is MUCH faster than Mew 1.94 since we can avoid
Perl overhead. Moreover, Mew 2.0 achieves true multilingual because we
need not to implement character set stuff in Perl.
Please note that Mew works only on Emacs 20.7 or later (including
Emacs 21) and XEmacs 21.1.11 or later. If you are using older Emacsen,
we strongly encourage you to migrate to one of them. It's not a tough
job.
Attached is a part of 00diff. You can find many new features including
threading, 8bit clean SMTP, etc. We hope that Mew 2.0 is worth waiting
and are sorry for keeping you waiting for a long time.
Lastly, our deep thank goes to those who make this possible. Enjoy!
// Mew developing team
----
<Differences between Mew 2 and Mew 1.94>
* Mew 2 has thrown away Emacs 19, Mule 2.3, XEmacs 20.4.
* Mew 2 has thrown away IM and is being implemented purely by Elisp
with two C commands, 'mewencode' and 'mewls'.
* Thread is supported. The key bindings of most thread commands
start with "t". For example, typing "tt" makes thread.
* Both Multipart/Alternative and Multipart/Related are supported.
Use ":" to display the entire structure.
* Sophisticated POP support. POP biff is supported.
* 8bit clean. If mew-use-8bit is non-nil, 8bit charset in a body is
sent without any MIME encoding(i.e. CTE: 8bit). If this is nil,
8bit charset in a body is sent with an appropriate MIME
encoding(e.g. CTE: quoted-printable). Also, 8bit messages to be
attached are converted into 7bit.
8bit messages to be signed are also converted into 7bit. This is
required by the Multipart/Signed spec.
mew-use-8bit is nil by default to avoid accidents.
* Preview. Typing C-cC-m in Draft mode puts the composed message to
+queue. You can preview messages to be send in +queue with
Summary mode.
If you are in Summary mode, typing C-cC-c sends all messages in
+queue. "i" in Summary mode also flushes all messages in +queue
since mew-auto-flush-queue is default to t.
Typing C-cC-c in Draft sends the draft without preview.
* MIME editor. Typing "E" (i.e. reediting) in Summary mode leads you
Draft mode. If the target is multipart, attachments are prepared.
* In attachments, you can specify charset both for input and output.
"C" specifies the charset parameter for a Text/* object.
"I" specifies a input coding-system for a text file.
* Header mode is created for resending and sending the same content
to different destinations.
* C-cC-l makes use of autoconf of a specified language.
* Mew 2 is liberal for many kinds of broken messages.

Mew-1.94.2
Subject: [Mew-dist 12571] Mew 1.94.2 and IM 140
From: Kazu Yamamoto <kazu@...>
Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2000 13:47:53 +0900
We are glad to announce that Mew 1.94.2 is now available with IM 140.
Many bugs have been fixed so this version should be more stable than
Mew 1.94.1.
This should be the last version on the Mew 1.94 tree. We will release
Mew 1.94.3 ONLY if you will encounter serious bugs. Minor bugs will be
fixed in the Mew 1.95 tree. (Mew 1.95 is on alpha stage and hopefully
we will be able to move it onto beta stage very soon.)
We would like to thank each and everyone of you for making this work
possible.
