Changes to mh-e

[previous] [next] [table of contents] [index]

mh-e had a fairly major facelift between Versions 3 and 4. The differences between Versions 4 and 5 from the user's viewpoint are relatively minor. The prompting order for the folder and message number in a couple of functions had been switched inadvertently in Version 4. Version 5 switches the order back. The +inbox folder is no longer hard-coded, but rather it uses the Inbox MH Profile entry. See the file etc/MH-E-NEWS in the Emacs distribution for more details on the changes.

This section documents the changes between Version 3 and newer versions so that you'll know which commands to use (or which commands you won't have) in case you're stuck with an old version.

The following tables summarize the changes to buffer names, commands, and variables. "Old" refers to Versions 3 and before, and "new" refers to Versions 4 and beyond.
