An update that has three recommended fixes can now be
installed.
Description:
The Mutt mail client was updated to version 1.6.0, which brings many new
features, fixes and enhancements:
- Enable UTF-8 mailbox support for IMAP.
- New expandos %r and %R for comma separated list of To: and Cc:
recipients respectively.
- Improved support for internationalized email and SMTPUTF8 (RFCs
653[0-3]).
- Option $use_idn has been renamed to $idn_decode.
- New option $idn_encode controls whether outgoing email address domains
will be IDNA encoded. If your MTA supports it, unset to use utf-8 email
address domains.
- The S/MIME message digest algorithm is now specified using the option
$smime_sign_digest_alg. Note that $smime_sign_command should be modified
to include "-md %d". Please see contrib/smime.rc.
- New option $reflow_space_quotes allows format=flowed email quotes to be
displayed with spacing between them.
- Multipart draft files are now supported.
- The "-E" command line argument causes mutt to edit draft or include
files. All changes made in mutt will be saved back out to those files.
- New option $resume_draft_files and $resume_edited_draft_files control
how mutt processes draft files.
- For classic gpg mode, $pgp_decryption_okay should be set to verify
multipart/encrypted are actually encrypted. Please see contrib/gpg.rc
for the suggested value.
- mailto URL header parameters by default are now restricted to 'body' and
'subject'.
- mailto_allow and unmailto_allow can be used to add or remove allowed
mailto header parameters.
- The method of setting $hostname has been changed. Instead of scanning
/etc/resolv.conf, the domain will now be determined using DNS calls.
- Add terminal status-line (TS) support, a.k.a. xterm title. See the
following variables: $ts_enabled, $ts_icon_format, $ts_status_format.
- Option $ssl_use_sslv3 is now disabled by default.
- New command-line arguments: -H now combines template and command-line
address arguments.
- GnuPG signature name is set to signature.asc.
- New color object "prompt" added.
- Ability to encrypt postponed messages. See $postpone_encrypt and
$postpone_encrypt_as.
- History ring now has a scratch buffer.
- mail-key is implemented for GPGME.
- Removed GPG_AGENT_INFO check for GnuPG 2.1 compatibility. Please set
pgp_use_gpg_agent if using GnuPG 2.1 or later.
- Option $smime_encrypt_with now defaults to aes256.
- GnuPG fingerprints are used internally when possible.
"--with-fingerprint" should be added to $pgp_list_pubring_command and
$pgp_list_secring_command to enable this. Please see contrib/gpg.rc.
Fingerprints may also be used at the prompts for key selection.
- Option $crypt_opportunistic_encrypt automatically enables/disables
encryption based on message recipients.
- Attachments for signed, unencrypted emails may be deleted.
- Multiple crypt-hooks may be defined for the same regexp. This means
multiple keys may be used for a recipient.
- Option $crypt_confirmhook allows the confirmation prompt for crypt-hooks
to be disabled.
- Option $ssl_ciphers allows the SSL ciphers to be directly set.
- sime_keys better handles importing certificate chains.
- sime_keys now records certificate purposes (sign/encrypt). Run
"sime_keys refresh" to update smime index files.
- Option $maildir_check_cur polls the maildir "cur" directory for new mail.
- Add support for TLS 1.1/1.2.
- Correctly shorten imaps://imap.example.com/INBOX to INBOX, not to NBOX.

- Recommend installation of perl(Expect) as a useful helper script below
the samples depends on it. (bsc#968699)
