Hello all,
We are pleased to inform you that we have finally released Mew 5.1:
http://www.mew.org/
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:

You may find more information on this from:
http://www.mew.org/feature/
Attached is the contents of the 00diff file.
We would thank you all people who have supported the development of
Mew 5.1.
