* mh-e: Created directory. ChangeLog will appear in a week when we release version 7.2. * lisp/mail/mh-alias.el, lisp/mail/mh-comp.el, lisp/mail/mh-customize.el, lisp/mail/mh-e.el, lisp/mail/mh-funcs.el, lisp/mail/mh-identity.el, lisp/mail/mh-index.el, lisp/mail/mh-loaddefs.el, lisp/mail/mh-mime.el, lisp/mail/mh-pick.el, lisp/mail/mh-seq.el, lisp/mail/mh-speed.el, lisp/mail/mh-utils.el, lisp/mail/mh-xemacs-compat.el: Moved to mh-e. Note that reply2.pbm and reply2.xpm, which were created by the MH-E package, were left in mail since they can probably be used by other mail packages. * makefile.w32-in (WINS): Added mh-e. * makefile.nt (WINS): Added mh-e.

+
+;;; Commentary:
+;;
+;;   This tries to implement the algorithm described at:
+;;     http://www.jwz.org/doc/threading.html
+;;   It is also a start to implementing the IMAP Threading extension RFC. The
+;;   implementation lacks the reference and subject canonicalization of the
+;;   RFC.
+;;
+;;   In the presentation buffer, children messages are shown indented with
+;;   either [ ] or < > around them. Square brackets ([ ]) denote that the
+;;   algorithm can point out some headers which when taken together implies
+;;   that the unindented message is an ancestor of the indented message. If
+;;   no such proof exists then angles (< >) are used.
+;;
+;;   Some issues and problems are as follows:
+;;
+;;    (1) Scan truncates the fields at length 512. So longer references:
+;;        headers get mutilated. The same kind of MH format string works when
+;;        composing messages. Is there a way to avoid this? My scan command
+;;        is as follows:
+;;          scan +folder -width 10000 \
+;;               -format "%(msg)\n%{message-id}\n%{references}\n%{subject}\n"
+;;        I would really appreciate it if someone would help me with this.
+;;
+;;    (2) Implement heuristics to recognize message-id's in In-Reply-To:
+;;        header. Right now it just assumes that the last text between angles
+;;        (< and >) is the message-id. There is the chance that this will
+;;        incorrectly use an email address like a message-id.
+;;
+;;    (3) Error checking of found message-id's should be done.
+;;
+;;    (4) Since this breaks the assumption that message indices increase as
+;;        one goes down the buffer, the binary search based mh-goto-msg
+;;        doesn't work. I have a simpler replacement which may be less
+;;        efficient.
+;;
+;;    (5) Better canonicalizing for message-id and subject strings.
+;;
+
+;; Internal support for MH-E package.
