+
+User-visible changes to mh-e in version 4.0 from 3.8
+
+Note: there are many internal changes to mh-e in this release.  If you
+have the previous version loaded into your Emacs, you will probably not
+be able to load this version on top of it.
+
+
+New Features in mh-e
+====================
+
+Background folder collection.  The first time you are prompted for a
+folder, you must wait while mh-e collects the names of all existing
+folders.  Now however, if you abort, collecting will continue in the
+background, and you can do something else in Emacs until the collection
+completes.  Normally, mh-e will begin collecting folders names in the
+background when you first load it; you can disable this feature by
+setting `mh-auto-folder-collect' to nil.
+
+There is support for composing MIME messages using the `mhn' program
+from MH 6.8.  See the documentation string for mh-edit-mhn.  (While
+composing a letter, type `C-h k C-c C-e'.)  See also mhn(1).  There is
+as yet no support for reading MIME messages.
+
+`mh-show', typically on `.', repositions to the start of the message if
+the message is already visible.  It used to do nothing in this case.
+
+The function `mh-unshar-msg' is renamed `mh-store-msg'.  It now does
+uudecoding, too.  Someday it should do MIME.  It remembers the last
+directory you used and offers it as the default for next time.
+
+New function `mh-header-display', on `,', displays the message with all
+headers, including those normally not displayed.  Type `.' to display
+the message normally again.
+
+New function `mh-list-sequences' lists the sequences in use in the
+current folder.
+
+New function `mh-version' displays version information about MH and
+mh-e.  Please use the output in bug reports.
+
+`mh-quit' now burys the folder buffer and show buffer.
+
+
+New mh-e hooks and customization variables
+==========================================
+
+`mh-pick-mode-hook': new hook called by new mode `mh-pick-mode'.  The
+pick buffer didn't used to have its own mode.  Another advantage of
+`mh-pick-mode' is that `C-h m' works in the pick buffer.
+
+`mail-citation-hook': new variable for supercite.
+
+`mh-refile-msg-hook': new hook called by `mh-refile-msg' (and
+`mh-refile-or-write-again' when refiling).
+
+`mh-msg-folder-hook': new hook used by `mh-refile-msg' and `mh-to-fcc'
+to provide a default folder for user prompt.
+
+`mh-show-hook': new hook called by `mh-show'.
+
+`mh-delete-msg-hook': new hook called by `mh-delete-msg'.
+
+`mh-show-mode-hook': new hook called by new mode `mh-show-mode' for
+`show-' buffers.
+
+`mh-comp-formfile': new variable so can customize `components' file.
+
+`mh-sortm-args': new variable, a list of extra arguments to be passed to
+sortm by `mh-sort-folder'.  Give an argument to `mh-sort-folder' to
+suppress this behavior.
+
+`mh-send-prog': new variable so can customize name of `send' program in
+case of name conflicts.
+
+`mh-scan-prog': new variable so can customize name of `scan' program to
+generate custom effects.
+
+`mh-inc-prog': new variable so can customize name of `inc' program to do
+fancy management of incoming messages.
+
+`mh-forwarded-letter-subject': new function used by `mh-forward' to
+compute the Subject line of the new message.  It is a small function
+which can be replaced by the user for customization.  Uses the new
+variable `mh-forward-subject-format', which allows some simple
+customizations without rewriting even `mh-forwarded-letter-subject'.
+
+`mh-new-draft-cleaned-headers': new variable, header lines removed by
+`mh-edit-again' and `mh-extract-rejected-mail' before offering a message
+as a new draft.
+
+`mh-signature-file-name': new variable used by `mh-insert-signature' to
+so can customize name of the file to insert.
+
+`mh-read-address': new function called to read all To: and Cc:
+addresses.
+
+`mh-msg-folder-hook': new hook used by `mh-refile-msg' and `mh-to-fcc'
+to provide a default folder for user prompt.
+
+
+Key binding changes in mh-e
+===========================
+
+`,' runs new function `mh-header-display'.  It is like `.' but it
+displays *all* the headers.
+
+`M-#' runs the new function `mh-delete-seq'.  One used to have to type
+`C-u M-%' to delete a sequence.
+
+`<' no longer does `mh-first-msg', but `M->' now does `mh-last-msg'.
+This allows first and last to be consistent (`>' was taken) and is more
+likely to be discovered by chance anyway.
+
+`M-d' runs `mh-redistribute', `r' runs `mh-reply' (on the theory that
+the more commonly used function should be easier to type, and the
+obscure action of redistributing can be harder to type).
+
+`M-o' changed to `C-o' (`mh-write-msg-to-file').  It was interfering
+with arrow keys for some people.
+
+`M-n' now runs `mh-store-msg' (formerly `mh-unshar-msg').
+
+`b' no longer runs `mh-quit'; use `q' instead.  `b' may be used in a
+future version for something else.
+
+
+Minor improvements to mh-e
+==========================
+
+The mh-e code is now divided into multiple Emacs Lisp files, so it
+starts up faster because Emacs doesn't have to load all of it at once.
+(This change also makes it easier for the maintainer to manage things.)
+
+When searching for the directory containing the MH programs, search the
+user's PATH in addition to the built-in directories, to increase the
+chance of finding the MH programs.
+
+The subject for a forwarded message no longer has ugly square brackets
+around it.
+
+The name of the folder is no longer appears twice in the show buffer
+mode line.
+
+When typing a folder name in the minibuffer, parent folders complete to
+the trailing slash (/), for easier typing of subfolders.
+
+The folder buffer mode name changed from `mh-e scan' or `mh-e show' to
+`MH-Folder', which makes the hook name easier to guess.  Added
+`mh-showing' to `minor-mode-alist' so there is still an indication in
+the mode line of whether messages will be shown automatically.
+
+`mh-rename-seq' does completion on the old sequence name.
+
+If called by a user who has never used MH on this system before, mh-e
+runs the MH program `install-mh' to get them set up.
+
+Undo history for previous messages is not kept to avoid wasting memory.
+
+The internal temp buffer used by mh-e has `buffer-offer-save' explicitly
+nil.  This change benefits people who change the `buffer-offer-save'
+default.
+
+
+Bug fixes to mh-e
+=================
+
+`mh-to-field': don't bomb if no To: field.
+
+`mh-get-new-mail': restore annotations, e.g., cur, even if no new mail.
+
+`mh-rename-seq': verify that the new seq name was accepted by `mark'
+before updating state.
+
+`mh-internal-seq': the Previous sequence is not notated, since it would
+notate everything scanned.
+
+`mh-read-draft': don't call `find-file-noselect' so an `auto-mode-alist'
+doesn't trigger `mh-letter-mode-hook' twice.  Faster, too.
+
+`mh-show': If user moves onto a message that doesn't exist, don't leave
+the cursor in the show pane.
+
+`mh-delete-scan-msgs': use `equal', not `=', on the result of
+`mh-get-msg-num', since it may be nil.
+
+`mh-get-field': do anchored search so searching for `reply-to:' doesn't
+find `in-reply-to:'.
+
+`mh-widen': do nothing if not narrowed.
+
+`mh-clean-message-header': find end of headers even if no body.
+
