- Supporting coming Emacs 29.
- Supporting "stunnel" 5.15.
- Supporting native compilation.
- 'mew-smtp-port' now supports Unix domain socket. If it is set to an absolute pathname such as "/var/run/msp.sock", Mew will use it as a Unix domain socket. The value of 'mew-smtp-server' will be ignored. This feature requires 'make-network-process' introduced since Emacs 22.
- Some bug fixes.
The structure of related files and their names were drastically changed. Take care.

Hello all,
We are pleased to inform you that Mew version 6.1 has been released. Since Virtual mode is re-designed and many restrictions are removed, the major version is now 6.
http://www.mew.org/Release/mew-6.1.tar.gz
Mew 6.1 now supports Emacs 21.4 or later only. Mew 6.1 doesn't support earlier versions nor XEmacs.
Please use Emacs 22.x unless you have a particular reason. Mew 6.1 does support Emacs 23.x.
Configuration in "~/.mew.el" has been simplified. All most all old configuration work.
But you need to transfer complex configuration to the new old. Complex configuration includes:
- mew-header-alist
- mew-refile-guess-alist
- mew-inbox-action-alist
- All above in mew-config-alist
Please read the config2 node in info to understand the simpler way.
Highlights of Mew 6.1 are as follows:
- Configuration in ".mew.el", especially of mew-config-alist is simplified. See the config2 node in info.
- Virtual mode is categorized to Selection and Thread. You can create Selection by keyword, dialog, sorting, and so on. You can make Thread even of Selection as well as of Summary.
- "S" is now virtual sort creating Selection. Physical sort is assigned to "M-s".
- Punycode is supported. Mew now can display internationalized domain names.
- "Z" collects a folder list according to the current world. No numeric argument is necessary any more.
- "_" toggles a long line: normal, long, wrapped.
- You can use gmail with IMAP.

Subject: [mew-release 84] Mew 5.1
From: Kazu Yamamoto <kazu@...>
Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2006 18:20:30 +0900 (JST)
Hello all,
We are pleased to inform you that we have finally released Mew 5.1:
http://www.mew.org/Release/mew-5.1.tar.gz
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/en/info/release/
You may find more information on this from:
http://www.mew.org/en/feature/
Attached is the contents of the 00diff file.
We would thank you all people who have supported the development of Mew 5.1.

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.
http://www.mew.org/Release/mew-2.0.tar.gz
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.
