  • add some spam-handling actions to mu4e-contrib.el

Release 0.9.9.12

mu

  • truncate all terms the go beyond xapian's max term length
  • lowercase the domain-part of email addresses in mu cfind (and mu4e), if the domain is in ascii
  • give messages without msgids fake-message-ids; this fixes the problem where such messages were not found in –include-related queries
  • cleanup of the query parser
  • provide fake message-ids for messages without it; fixes #183
  • allow showing tags in 'mu find' output
  • fix CSV quoting

mu4e

  • update the emacs <-> backend protocol; documented in the mu-server man page
  • show 'None' as date for messages without it (Headers View)
  • add `mu4e-headers-found-hook', `mu4e-update-pre-hook'.
  • split org support in org-old-mu4e.el (org <= 7.x) and org-mu4e.el
  • org: improve template keywords
  • rework URL handling

Release 0.9.9.5

mu

  • allow 'contact:' as a shortcut in queries for 'from:foo OR to:foo OR cc:foo OR bcc:foo', and 'recip:' as a shortcut for 'to:foo OR cc:foo OR bcc:foo'
  • support getting related messages (–include-related), which includes messages that may not match the query, but that are in the same threads as messages that were
  • support "list:"/"v:" for matching mailing list names, and the "v" format-field to show them. E.g 'mu find list:emacs-orgmode.gnu.org'

mu4e

  • scroll down in message view takes you to next message (but see `mu4e-view-scroll-to-next')
  • support 'human dates', that is, show the time for today's messages, and the date for older messages in the headers view
  • replace `mu4e-user-mail-address-regexp' and `mu4e-my-mail-addresses' with `mu4e-user-mail-address-list'
  • support tags (i.e.., X-Keywords and friends) in the headers-view, and the message view. Thanks to Abdó Roig-Maranges. New field ":tags".
  • automatically update the headers buffer when new messages are found during indexing; set `mu4e-headers-auto-update' to nil to disable this.
  • update mail/index with M-x mu4e-update-mail-and-index; which everywhere in mu4e is available with key C-S-u. Use prefix argument to run in background.
  • add function `mu4e-update-index' to only update the index
  • add 'friendly-names' for mailing lists, so they should up nicely in the headers view

guile

  • add 'mu script' command to run mu script, for example to do statistics on your message corpus. See the mu-script man-page.

mug

  • ported to gtk+ 3; remove gtk+ 2.x code
