UPGRADING FROM MUTT 1.0 ----------------------- Please read the present document carefully when upgrading Mutt from version 1.0 to the current version. It lists a couple of configuration changes you may wish to make in order to continue working with mutt. 1. PGP support PGP support has changed. Instead of a collection of hard-coded parameter strings, we use formats now to construct the invocation command lines for the various PGP versions. You can find sample configurations for the most popular PGP versions in the contrib/ directory. You can customize them for your needs, or you can just source them from your .muttrc. 2. Mailing list behaviour You may notice that the lists command "doesn't seem to work" any more. If you didn't experience any problems with it using your old mutt version, just change "lists" to "subscribe" in your .muttrc. Otherwise, you may wish to make use of the distinction between known and subscribed lists mutt offers: When you know about a mailing list and want to include it with list-reply (say, for instance, the cypherpunks list), but aren't subscribed to it, declare it as known with "lists". When you are subscribed to a list and want to generate Mail-Followup-To headers when writing to it, want to match messages coming from this list with the ~l pattern, and want to see the list address with the %L format on the index menu, "subscribe" it. Note that "subscribe" implies "lists", and "unlists" implies "unsubscribe" - every subscribed list is known. 3. Other changes you should know about - Header weeding: Header weeding is now controlled by a single $weed variable. You can set this variable using the usual "set" command. But, in practice, you'll most probably just use the function "display-toggle-weed". It's a replacement for "display-headers", and is bound to "h" by default. Note that this affects forwarding, replying (when $header is set), decode-saving, and printing. - Message editing. Mutt 1.0 used to have a somewhat strange edit-message function. This function has been split into edit-message and resend-message. edit-message gives you the opportunity to edit a copy of the raw message. When you are done, mutt will copy the changed message to the current folder, and mark the old version of the message for deletion. resend-message can best be thought of as "recall from current folder". However, this function also works from the receive-attachment menu, on message/rfc822 body parts. $Id: README.UPGRADE,v 2.2 2000/03/01 18:05:36 roessler Exp $
