[Q] color highlight by regexp in index

Hi all,

please, may somebody advice?

is there way to highlight the rows in index with colors according the
regexp?

for example I'd like to see in index all messages form mh-e-devel in
green, while messages from my boss in red

is it possible?

Xemacs 21.4, debian squeeze crashes on some messages with mh-e


Messages from one correspondent are repeatedly crashing my Xemacs.
I had this problem with another correspondent before, and I tried to
file a bug with Xemacs, but the bug report got rejected with a mailbox
not found.

I'm looking for suggestions: I have a bit of time to investigate this.
I haven't compiled emacs myself since the mid-1990s, but I could do
this.  Or is it more useful for me to try to widdle down the ELISP code
that causes the crash?

(I wish that marks, particularly Delete marks would persist across
crashes.../restarts...) 

I can share the email privately, and the full stack dump, if someone has
some ideas, but I'd rather google didn't archive the email itself. The
email has parts:

if that helps someone to tell me that I can work around this by ...?

format=flowed;


It seems that Thunderbird (on Linux at least) is one of the few MUAs
that actually puts format=flowed; into the Content-Type.    My question
is: is there some way (settings, code, etc.) to get mh-e to respect
this?

MH-E manual 8.3 released

In 2010, the version control system (VCS) of Emacs was upgraded from CVS
to Bazaar. In 2011, the MH-E team followed suit and upgraded the MH-E
repository at SourceForge from CVS to Bazaar as well. The result is
version 8.3 of MH-E, which includes needed changes to the build scripts.

Otherwise, this is a small release that includes mostly internal
changes from the Emacs team. The MH-E manual for MH-E 8.3 contains
updates for the mairix and namazu examples.

2011-09-21  Bill Wohler  <wohler <at> newt.com>

	Release MH-E manual version 8.3.

	* mh-e.texi: (VERSION, EDITION, UPDATED, UPDATE-MONTH): Update for
	release 8.3.
	(Preface): Updated support information.
	(From Bill Wohler): Reset text to original version. As a
	historical quote, the tense should be correct in the time that it
	was written.

2011-07-02  Bill Wohler  <wohler <at> newt.com>

	* README: Replace references to CVS with Bazaar.

	* Makefile (CVSROOT, CVSLOGIN, CVSMETHOD): Remove.
	(MH_E_DOC, MH_E_ETC_EMACS) Define and use EMACS_SRC and DOC_DIR
	for ../src/emacs/trunk/doc/misc.
	(MAKEINFOINFOFLAGS): Define input and output options.
	(emacs): Remove.
	($(MH_E_DOC)): Simply link to $(EMACS_SRC)/doc.

MH-E 8.3 released

* Changes in MH-E 8.3

In 2010, the version control system (VCS) of Emacs was upgraded from
CVS to Bazaar. In 2011, the MH-E team followed suit and upgraded the
MH-E repository at SourceForge from CVS to Bazaar as well. The result
is version 8.3 of MH-E, which includes needed changes to the build
scripts.

Otherwise, this is a small release that includes mostly internal
changes from the Emacs team. One of these changes manifests itself in
the user interface--you can now complete folders with abbreviations,
meaning that `+f/b/b TAB' can complete to `+foo/bar/baz'.

Also, RFC 2047-encoded Subject header fields in replies are now
decoded.

It also fixes compilation warnings in XEmacs 21.5.31, as
well as an error when running XEmacs 21.5.31 in a terminal.

Another implication of the VCS change is that users who download MH-E
from SourceForge and explicitly load MH-E will have to be change their
`load-path' to "/path/to/mh-e/emacs/trunk/lisp/mh-e" instead. Note the
addition of "trunk."

This version of MH-E is packaged with GNU Emacs 24.1

** Bug Fixes in MH-E 8.3

*** Make mh-showing a legitimate minor mode

"Fontifying show-+inbox"


If something fails while showing a message (the X-Face stuff still
screws me up), then I get the progress bar at the bottom, and it doesn't
go away.

Any idea how to kill it?

(This is Xemacs 21.4, on debian squeeze)

imap


Does anyone use mh-e to interface with an imap account, via offlineimap
or other methods?  I usually download my email from the imap server, to
read in mh-e, but am now considering keeping the email on the imap
server and accessing instead.

bug - forwarding MIME messages

Most of the time, I set mh-compose-forward-as-mime-flag to nil, and
forward happily. But occasionally I have to forward a message containing
MIME and simple forwarding does not preserve the MIME structure, so I
set mh-compose-forward-as-mime-flag to t and tried mh-forward: recently,
this has resulted in an error (I don't know how recently: thankfully, I
don't have to do this often, but I'm pretty sure that I have done it at
least once before - year or two ago - and it worked).

Today I had to do it again, got the error but, for a change, did
something about it. The error was approximately "Wrong arg type: number
or marker expected" and it happened in message-in-body-p (part of
message.el). Turns out that message-goto-body was returning nil which
message-in-body-p was using in a numeric comparison.

message-goto-body uses a couple of regexps to go to the beginning of the
message body and apparently they just didn't trigger in this case. I added
another to match the delimiter that mh-e was adding and my problem is
solved: obviously a kludge, but I'm adding it here for reference and hope
that somebody can fix things more cleanly.

Thanks,
Nick

what does "flush changes" mean


Due to a bug in another elisp program, I seemed to have been put into a
message buffer which was editable, and I edited by mistake.  When I went
to revisit the folder where that file was kept, I was sasked whether to
"flush changes?".  I had no idea whether that meant to discard or keep
my accidental changes, due to my perceived ambiguity of the word
"flush".  Could "flush changes?" be changed to either "Discard changes?" or
"Keep changes?" 

Stephen

(defun mh-unvisit-file ()
  "Separate current buffer from the message file it was visiting."
  (or (not (buffer-modified-p))
      (null buffer-file-name)           ;we've been here before
      (yes-or-no-p (format "Message %s modified; flush changes? "
                           (file-name-nondirectory buffer-file-name)))

Checking bcc field in sent messages

Hi all,

Is there a way to see what recipients I had entered in the bcc header for a message in my +outbox (filed there by
Fcc: +outbox)? If not, what would I need to do in order to save this information in the future?

Thanks for any help!

Support policy

The README currently says this:

  It is supported in GNU Emacs 21 and higher, as well as XEmacs 21 (except
  for versions 21.5.9-21.5.16).

I'm not comfortable with this because I have not tested MH-E on GNU
Emacs 21 or 22, and I haven't heard back from any users who have
confirmed that it works on these systems.

It's not that MH-E won't work on these systems, and it's not that we
wouldn't try to help users to run MH-E on their systems.

I know for a fact that MH-E does not work on Emacs 20 and previous
releases, and that it works with Emacs 23 and 24. It's just that I don't
know if MH-E works or not with Emacs 21 and 22.

How should we articulate these points in the README?
