(Folder Selection): Clarify environment for
mh-default-folder-for-message-function.
(Identities): Try make it more clear that fields will be
automatically inserted when the message is sent. Note that once
you use C-c M-d, the fields will not be automatically inserted
when the message is sent.
(title): The title was too long, so split it up into a subtitle.
(Sending Mail Tour, Reading Mail Tour, Processing Mail Tour)
(Adding Attachments, Searching): Remove @group outside of @example
as this was causing texi2pdf errors. Apparently now you have to
put the @group inside an example, but that doesn't do any any good
to keep the caption together with the example.
(Aliases): Use different example to avoid overfull warning.
(Junk): Use smallexamples to avoid overfull warning.
(Scan Line Formats): Split long string to avoid overfull warning.
(Using This Manual, Editing Message, Editing Drafts): Break up
line to avoid overfull warning.
(Editing Drafts): Break up @samp into multiple @samps to avoid
overfull warning.

(pdf/mh-e.pdf): Rename to mh-e.pdf. Use texi2dvi instead of
makeinfo/openjade/pdfjadetex.

sub-directory. Uses texi2dvi instead of makeinfo.
2006-02-24 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
Release MH-E manual version 7.92.
* mh-e.texi (EDITION): Delete.
(VERSION, UPDATED, UPDATE-MONTH): Update for release 7.92.
(copying): Remove reference to edition now that version of manual
corresponds to version of software.
(titlepage): Ditto.

duplicated.
* fixhtml: Convert to /bin/sh. No longer rename index.html to
Table-of-contents.html. Added mh-book prefix to index.html
indexes.html which are used by the MH book. No longer need to edit
files since we're using the real index.html and can also use
stylesheets to set background color to white.
* README: Use PDF instead of DVI. Online version now at
SourceForge. Update for release 7.92.
* Makefile (MH-E-DOCS): Remove index.html indexes.html. Only
needed by web site.

(Folder Selection, Folder Selection, Incorporating Mail)
(Reading Mail, Viewing, HTML, Folders, Sending Mail)
(Editing Drafts, Aliases, Identities, Speedbar, Tool Bar)
(Sequences, Junk, Scan Line Formats, Procmail): Use @c ---
separator between @item consistently. If a blank line appears
before index entries before @item, then too many blank lines
appear in the output. Using @c --- instead of blank lines between
items keeps the output looking good.
(Processing Mail Tour): Fix prompt.
(Leaving MH-E): Document packf for exporting MH mail to avoid
"lock-in" (suggested by Mark).
(Options): Use combo box instead of combobox.

case-dependent example (suggested by Peter). Add example about
using prefixes for locals, jobs, or activities (suggested by
Mark).

appropriate for both the search engines and pick. The previous
regexp only worked for pick.
(MH FAQ and Support): Fix URL to MH FAQ.
(Getting MH-E): Document contrib release here and delete
Contributed Software chapter.
(XXX): Delete chapter. All cross-references now point to an
node.
(Backmatter): Verify terms in LocalWords list. Move style guide to
Developers' Guide.
2006-02-21 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Incorporating Mail): Suggest emacsclient which
supports --eval in Emacs 22 instead of gnudoit.

from Folder > Search a Folder to just Folder > Search and command
from mh-search-folder to mh-search. Change default value of
mh-kill-folder-suppress-prompt-hook from mh-index-p to
mh-search-p.
(Menu Bar): Rename Pick menu to Search.
(Tool Bar): Change default value of mh-tool-bar-search-function
from mh-search-folder to mh-search.
(Searching): Rewrite chapter to align with new code (closes SF
#829207).
2006-01-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Conventions): Add tcsh to the list of shells that use
the ~ notation since this is more popular on Linux than vanilla
csh.
2006-01-10 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Conventions): Move description of ~ here from Getting
Started.
(Getting Started): Update text regarding MH installation and
configuration now that MH-E no longer calls install-mh. Delete

(Using This Manual): Now that all options are changed via the
customize interface, remove the description and examples of using
setq.

Mail-Followup-To fields (closes SF#1400139).
2006-01-02 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Conventions, Folder Selection, Reading Mail)
(HTML, Files and Pipes, Folders, Sending Mail, Redistributing)
(Editing Drafts, Editing Message, Inserting Letter, Signature)
(Picture, Adding Attachments, Sending PGP, Checking Recipients)
(Sending Message, Killing Draft, Aliases, Identities, Speedbar)
(Searching, Threading, Limits, Sequences, Junk, Miscellaneous)
(Scan Line Formats, Procmail): Document help keys. Document
missing commands. Add missing menu item index entries. Remove
function names in short variable descriptions; keyboard command is
enough. Use option/command/function/variable in front of symbol to
aid *Help* buffer hyperlinking. Sync docstrings with manual for
all commands.
2006-01-01 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Conventions): Add reference to Easy Customization in
Emacs Manual. Add face documentation.

mm-text-html-renderer choices.
2005-12-22 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* TODO: May as well add it to the repository in case I get hit by
a truck.
* mh-e.texi (Conventions): Add info about hooks. Use "Hook run by
`function'..." instead of "Invoked...".
(Getting Started): Talk about mh-find-path setting variables from
MH profile components and how you can modify that behavior with
mh-find-path-hook.
(Incorporating Mail, Reading Mail, Viewing, Folders)
(Editing Drafts, Inserting Letter, Signature)
(Adding Attachments, Sending Message, Aliases, Searching): Sync
docstrings with manual.
(Folders): Add mh-after-commands-processed-hook,

taken by limits.
(Sending Mail): Add mh-forward-hook.
(Sequences): Add mh-unseen-updated-hook.
2005-12-18 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Top, Sending Mail Tour, Aliases): Rename Toolbar to
Tool Bar.
(Tool Bar): Rename from Toolbar. Completed chapter.
2005-12-17 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Top) Rename Menubar to Menu Bar.
(Sending Mail Tour): Ditto.
(Ranges, Folder Selection, Incorporating Mail, Reading Mail)

(mh-delete-subject-or-thread). Sync docstrings with manual.
(Threading): Completed chapter. Sync docstrings with manual.
2005-12-14 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Top): Undid last change. Doesn't compile with
makeinfo -html.
(Speedbar): Completed chapter. Sync docstrings with manual.
2005-12-13 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Top): Put in @ifinfo instead of @ifnottex.
2005-12-09 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Conventions):
SPC no longer available to complete filenames and folders. Add
cross reference to Emacs manual.

set mail-user-agent to Emacs interface to MH.
2005-12-04 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Reading Mail, Folders, Sending Mail)
(Limits, Sequences, Junk, XXX): Went over all uses of the word
"RANGE" in the docstrings and made usage consistent. Generally
speaking, "messages in range" and "range of messages" is redundant
and just "range" can be used in most circumstances.
(Folders): Rename mh-index-new-messages-folders to
mh-new-messages-folders. Rename mh-index-ticked-messages-folders
to mh-ticked-messages-folders.
(Reading Mail): Change default of mh-fetch-x-image-url from 'ask
to Never Fetch (closes SF #831278).
(Folders): Added keys for mh-sort-folder. Sync docstring from
mh-sortm-args with manual.
(Editing Drafts, Signature): Rename
mh-letter-insert-signature-hook to mh-insert-signature-hook.
2005-12-01 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Reading Mail, Viewing, Viewing Attachments)
(Digests, Reading PGP, Printing)
(Files and Pipes, Navigating)
(Miscellaneous Commands and Options): Rewrite for current
codebase. Sync docstrings with manual.
(Conventions): Use @key{} for RET, SPC, TAB, DEL, and BS
everywhere. Use @kbd{C-@key{SPC}}.
(Getting Started): Starting to use "package" instead of library.
(Leaving MH-E, Adding Attachments, Aliases, Ranges, Junk): Fix
typo.
(Using This Manual): Use mh-mhl-format-file instead of
mhl-formfile.
(Reading Mail): Prefer "command @kbd{}" over "@kbd{} command" due
to docstring hyperlinking algorithm.
(MH-Folder Options): Rename to Miscellaneous Commands and Options
and move to end of chapter.
(Folders): Delete mh-default-folder-for-message-function. Add
mh-recenter-summary-flag. Move mh-folder-mode-hook here from
MH-Folder Options. Add mh-folder-updated-hook. Add

idea.
(Threading): New chapter. Needs to be written.

(XXX): Added some ispell helping keywords and code at the end of
the file to make it feasible to run ispell-buffer. Add bogofilter
case requirement.
2005-11-03 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi: (Sequences): Document mh-narrow-to-tick. Sync
docstrings with manual.
2005-11-01 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Sending Mail): Rewrite for current codebase. Sync
docstrings with manual.
(Aliases, Identities, Searching)
(Scan Line Formats): Add draft and regular expression index
entries.
2005-10-30 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Scan Line Formats): Updated with feedback from Mark.
Added comments in the title matter.
(@settitle, @top): Use the full title.
(@title): Remove GNU from GNU Emacs since our audience is more
than just GNU Emacs users.
2005-10-28 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Viewing, Scan Line Formats): Sync docstrings with
manual. Ensure all links are in @uref so that in info they look
like "link text (`url')" which are more easily converted to "link
text (see URL `url')".
2005-10-27 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Identities): Checkdoc fix.
(Scan Line Formats): Rewrite for current codebase. New example.
2005-10-23 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* Makefile (MAKEINFODOCBOOKFLAGS, MAX_TEX_RECURSION, XML_DECL)
(PRINT_SS): New variables used by new targets.
(mh-e.dvi): Delete.
(mh-e.xml, mh-e.tex, mh-e.pdf): New targets that create PDF.
* mh-e.texi (Editing Drafts): Rewrite chapter and sync up manual
with docstrings.
(Incorporating Mail): Small grammatical fix.
(Ranges): Rewrite and sync up manual with docstrings.
2005-03-17 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Junk): Added mh-junk-background.
2005-03-16 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Folders): Added mh-catchup, mh-index-search.
(Searching): Added information on indexed searches and synced up
manual with docstrings.
2005-02-07 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Incorporating Mail): Updated manual to reflect
changes in mh-customize.el and synced up manual with docstrings.
2005-02-06 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi: Use @smallexample and @smalllisp consistently
throughout chapter. Blank lines between @items were generating
extra <p> elements in HTML which caused unsightly gaps in the
tables. Replaced blank lines with @c ---- separators.
(Aliases): Updated manual to reflect changes in menu items.
(Identities): Rewrote chapter and synced up manual with
docstrings.
2003-11-03 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (@ref): Convert to @pxref and @xref as much as
possible. Added special @urefs to Emacs, Emacs Lisp, and PGG
manuals so that readers of the HTML version would have a valid
cross-reference
(section, chapter): Ensured that the right word was used,
depending on whether we're talking about a section or chapter.
2003-11-01 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (cross-references): Fixed cross-references that were
no longer pointing to the correct node due to the reshuffling.
(editing): Removed terms like "below" and "above" that can easily
get out of date.
(Reading Mail, Getting Started): Moved mh-lib, mh-lib-progs,
mh-progs to Getting Started.
2003-10-29 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi: Added lead-in paragraphs at the beginning of each
chapter and before each table of commands and options. Mention
customization groups
(Indexing): Heavy duty indexing pass. Added missing index entries,
removed superfluous index entries (that were covered in a @vtable
or @ftable), sorted @*index groups, ensured index entries were
consistent. Still need to go through indices and search through
text for each item and add index entries for existing entries if
useful.
(Organizing): Renamed node to Folders. It looks a lot better in
the index for the "F" key commands.
(Variable Index): Renamed to Option Index.
(Key Index): New node for holding keystrokes and moved keystrokes
from the command index to the key index. Renamed @findex entries
to @kindex as appropriate and renamed @ftable to @table as
necessary.
(Composing, MH-Folder Options): New sections that contain text
from main section of chapter. Before, the menu for the chapter's
sections appeared far, far below rather than up near the top under
the commands and variables.
2003-10-28 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi: Removed "above" and "below" text. After
reorganization, these relative markers were often incorrect.
Replaced with cross-references.
2003-10-27 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Viewing): Removed Always Fetch option from
mh-fetch-x-image-url (closes SF #831278).
(@ftable): Sorted entries. The sort is as follows: punctuation,
uppercase single letters, lowercase single letters, control
characters, meta characters, multiple letters in alphabetical
order. In some cases, the sort wasn't strictly ASCII. For example,
SPC (mh-page-msg) reads better before BS (mh-previous-page) and .
(mh-show) is better before , (mh-header-display).
(@vtable): Sorted entries and pulled hooks into their own
@vtables.
2003-10-23 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi: The Great Reorganization. Aligned commands and
variables with customization groups.
2003-10-17 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Organizing): Indicate that visiting a folder with
unseen messages will just show those unseen messages. Also
indicate that visiting a folder with the speedbar works in a
similar fashion to mh-visit-folder (closes SF #623373).
2003-10-16 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Top): Removed elisp comment characters (;;) from
copyright.
(Viewing): Mention that signatures and vCards are rendered in
italics.
(Reading GPG): Filled paragraph.
(Draft Editing): Added new variables from Signature section.
Eventually, I'll reorganize so that variables are described in the
chapter they are listed.
(Signature): Updated with modern-day signature code which means
that mh-signature-file-name can be a function, signature
separators are added, the signature can be a vCard (closes SF
#802720), and mh-letter-insert-signature-hook is now called at the
end instead of the beginning of mh-insert-signature. Signatures
can now also be inserted with identities.
2003-10-16 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Reading Mail): Use "@samp{+inbox} buffer" instead of
"+inbox".
(Identities, and others): Use "header field" in index, not "header".
(Junk): New section dealing with junk mail.
2003-09-24 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (@table): Converted to @vtable and @ftable as
appropriate. Also removed blank lines between @*table and @item
and @end *table. The former is to eliminate an unsightly gap; the
latter is for consistency. Thought I heard a hobgoblin...
(@enumerate): Ditto.
* fixhtml (fix_texinfo_html): Substitute index.html for
Table-of-Contents.html since we renamed index.html for
Table-of-Contents.html.
* mh-e.texi (Top): Added warning about using makeinfo 4.6 or
greater which is needed to handle the @copying commands.
([vf]table): Removed blank line below these commands as this
inserts unsightly whitespace in the document.
(Reading Mail): Use ftable instead of table, add findex in quick
reference to catch functions, remove now redundant findex and
vindex commands in chapter. Removed mh-visible-headers. Renamed
mh-invisible-headers to mh-invisible-header-fields. Updated
mh-clean-message-header-flag. Added
mh-invisible-header-fields-default (closes SF #752045).
(Viewing): Updated documentation for mh-visible-headers (removed),
mh-invisible-headers (renamed to mh-invisible-header-fields),
mh-clean-message-header-flag, and added
mh-invisible-header-fields-default (closes SF #752045).
* Makefile (TEXI2HTMLFLAGS): Obsolete. Should have removed
yesterday.
2003-09-23 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* Makefile (MAKEINFOINFOFLAGS): Renamed from MAKEINFOINFOFLAGS.
(MAKEINFOHTMLFLAGS): New variable to hold HTML flags for makeinfo.
(all): Removed mh-e.ps target and added clean target.
(clean): New target which removes directories created by this
Makefile.
(mh-e.info): Use MAKEINFOINFOFLAGS.
(mh-e.html): Call makeinfo instead of texi2html. This is better
for several reasons: makeinfo more actively maintained than
texi2html, files are named with the node names instead of magical
numbers so assumptions about the filenames can be made (this
cleaned up fixhtml and Makefile dramatically), footnotes are on
the same page instead of on a single page, the table of contents
is prettier, the @vtable and @ftable commands are handled
correctly (they were doubled in the indices in texi2html). The
only disadvantages I've seen is that the navigation buttons aren't
repeated on the bottom of each page and the indices aren't divided
by letter. These are minor. Don't depend on html subdirectory,
makeinfo creates it.
(html): Deleted. Obsolete.
* fixhtml: Now that makeinfo is used, no longer need to search
each file to see where links should be made. Also, since the
filenames now match the node names, many of the links no longer
need to be made.
(index.html): Rename to Table-of-Contents.html since the MH book
assumes a different index.html.
(fix_texinfo_html): Downcase body tags.
* indexes.html: Use makeinfo filenames for indices instead of link
names previously created with fixhtml.
s/mh-e_toc.html/Table-of-Contents.html/ to be more consistent with
makeinfo naming conventions.
* index.html: s/mh-e_toc.html/Table-of-Contents.html/ to be more
consistent with makeinfo naming conventions.
* mh-e.texi (MH-BOOK-HOME): Changed from
http://www.ics.uci.edu/~mh/book to
http://www.ics.uci.edu/~mh/book/mh.
(Addresses): Replaced @ with at in text. Replaced @host with
@stop.spam-abuse.org in examples to minimize spam harvesting.
(Profile components): Now contain a trailing colon (:) like header
fields.
(Sending Mail): Added M-TAB (mh-letter-complete) keybinding,
mh-letter-complete-function option.
(Aliases): New node that covers how MH-E handles aliases (closes
SF #745634).
(Draft Editing): Use vtable instead of table.
(Organizing): Removed example about creating folder names based
upon sender of message now that this is built-in.
2003-08-24 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Viewing): Removed example of shoving
mh-update-sequences into mh-show-hook because MH-E now does this
by default.
(Sending Mail): Moved variable table under command table.
Described new method of editing draft (direct editing) and old
method via customization (closes SF #745622).
2003-08-19 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Limits): New section which documents the ways of
limiting the output of the MH-Folder buffer (closes SF #732823).
(header fields): Undid change in version 1.43 where colons in
header field names were removed. I had done this originally to
reflect RFC 822 and RFC 2822 is still like that. Documentation
should remain consistent with the standards.
(cc): s/cc/Cc/ in field names and except where cc is literal, as
in components files, or function names
(Identities): Added some formatting commands and fixed the text
about inserting the auto-fields at the beginning now that we no
longer do that.
2003-08-18 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Moving Mail, Organizing): Document "F n", "F '", "F q",
"mh-index-new-messages-folders, mh-index-ticked-messages-folders
(closes SF #718833).
(Sequences): Document "'" (closes SF #718833).
2003-08-16 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi: (Reading Mail Tour, Reading Mail): mh-rmail now shows
unseen messages as well as new messages from inc, so simply say
that mh-rmail doesn't show read messages (closes SF #667542).
* mh-e.texi: According to the grant-back clause of the assignment
of copyright contract to the FSF, I have relicensed the manual
under the GPL. This should allow all MH-E developers, who have
also assigned copyright to the FSF, to cut and paste changes
between the code and manual freely. This should also remove any
issues with the Debian DFSG.
While the details still need to be worked out, developers should
agree that any changes they make to the manual will be relicensed
under the GFDL when they are incorporated into the Emacs version.
Until notified otherwise, developers implicitly agree to these
terms if they make any changes.
* mh-e.texi (Folder Selection) New section that describes how
folder names are generated (closes SF #657096, SF #664821).
2003-08-15 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Various Header Fields): Removed colon from header
field name. Doesn't seem right in the flow of the text.
(Identities): New section to describe multiple personalities or
identies code (closes SF #627035, #747890).
2003-08-08 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>

2003-08-04 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>

and how to use it. Updated all other sections that used to refer
to the use of a prefix argument to specify a sequence to refer to
a range instead (closes SF #626361, SF #728638).
(footnotes): For some reason, all of the footnotes were off in
their own world. I moved them within the sentence's punctuation.

that item heading would appear on the page when clicking on an
index entry.

2003-08-01 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>

2003-07-29 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>

UPDATED-MONTH to 24 April 2003. Set MH-E-HOME to
http://mh-e.sourceforge.net/. Updated Copyright.
(MH FAQ): Renamed to MH FAQ and Support. Added link to MH FAQ.
Added link to MH-E SourceForge support.
(Getting MH-E): Don't reiterate install info; reference README
instead. Also, mh-version now autoloads, so don't have to run any
other command first.
2002-10-31 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* Makefile, README, fixhtml, index.html, indexes.html, mh-e.texi:
Replaced mh-e with MH-E.
2002-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* Makefile (EMACS_HOME): Set default to $(TOP)/../emacs so it
would be useful. Also use ?= instead of ifndef which is apparently
more portable.
2002-04-08 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* mh-e.texi (Sending Mail): Updated footnote about draft folders
per a user's suggestion.
2001-12-29 Bill Wohler <wohler@phone.com>
*mh-e.texi:
First phase of mh-e version 6.0 coverage.
Removed a space between a texinfo command and the opening brace.
Replaced @code with @command, @samp, etc. as appropriate (closes
SF #405618).
Documented mh-lib-progs (closes SF #405615).
Backed out quick reference guide.
Moved mherg.html into Texinfo. However, upon further reflection, I
think the existing format already serves as a quick reference
guide, and I don't think that the extra tables will be worth the
extra maintenance effort. I'm therefore saving this version, but
will be removing the tables in the next check-in. I won't undo the
entire check-in as there were a couple of other small, cosmetic
changes I want to keep (closes SF #405610).
Moved Scan Line Formats up a level as its location in Organizing
was not obvious enough (closes SF #405608).
Added example for mh-quit-hook (closes SF #405565).
Put the references to the MH book back in (closes SF #405549).
Rewrote MIME section to make more clear (closes SF #405547 and
#446471) and to include new functionality in 6.0.
Call Emacs Lisp functions functions, not commands. Indeed, they
were already called functions throughout, except in a short
discussion of terminology.
Updated screen shots for Emacs 21. Also fixed up line lines within
these screen shots so that they wouldn't extend past the limits of
the cartouche in the DVI file.
Improved continuity between commands and configuration.
Simply filled all the paragraphs to make later changes less
apparent in the diffs. I believe the only difference is that
sentence-end-double-space is now nil.
Initial pass at merging Chapters 2 and 3. Chapters are merged, but
editing reminas to be done to improve the flow (closes SF
#405605).
* indexes.html: Downcased HTML tags.
Removed <link> tag.
Removed mention of Quick Reference Guide, which has been removed.
Removed <address> and mailto tags. Spam prevention.
* index.html: Downcased HTML tags.
Removed <link> tag.
Removed mention of Quick Reference Guide, which has been removed, and
Preface, which is redundant (with Table of Contents).
Put Table of Contents and Index links on their own line to avoid
folding.
Removed <address> and mailto tags. Spam prevention.
* fixhtml: No longer use mherg.html.
* mherg.html: Removed. Too much hassle to maintain and beginning
of each chapter in Using mh-e is a quick reference already.
* Makefile: Added a README to the tarball and made the user of the
Makefile targets more obvious to make the installation more clear
(closes SF #481769).
No longer use mherg.html.
(%.info): Removed .. from settitle (in order to run M-x
makeinfo-buffer, so no longer have to cd into info before running
makeinfo.
(%.html): Don't need to recursively delete files. Also, fixhtml
copies index.html, indexes.html and mherg.html into html, so don't
need to do it in the Makefile.
* README: New file to let users know what they should do with this
tarball.
2001-12-16 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* Makefile (dist, install-online, %.html): Replaced $(RM) with rm
-rf (closes SF #488661).
(import-emacs): New, yet unimplemented, target.
2001-11-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* fixhtml: Slight changes in titles for texi2html 1.65.
2001-02-19 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* Makefile (EMACS): Renamed to EMACS_HOME. Also, don't define if
EMACS_HOME already exists to give developer a chance to set
environment variable.
(all): Build mh-e.html, mh-e.info, and mh-e.ps by default.
2001-02-18 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
* Release mh-e-doc-1.3 for Emacs 21.1.
* mh-e.texi (Viewing): Added mh-header-display index entry.

couple of variables and commands that weren't indexed.

(MH-E-DOCS): Added all relevant files.
(ONLINE_DIR): Contains target directory for online files.
(TEXI2HTMLFLAGS, MAKEINFOFLAGS): Added.
(dist): Tags will have doc in them, so don't need to add. Release
will now have all relevant files, rather than just mh-e.texi.
(install-emacs): First ask user if he has updated and incorporated
target emacs directory.
(install-online): Implemented.
(%.info,%.html,%.dvi,%.ps): Added.
* mh-e.texi: This version will most likely appear in Emacs
21.1.
(Preface): The current version of mh-e has come
standard since 19.29. Since Version 5 of mh-e has been out so
long, lots of text regarding earlier versions was pruned.
(Conventions): Use BACKSPACE instead of DELETE in Emacs 21.
