Version 2.99.97 (Git)
This version is a major rewrite of GNU Mailutils. Quite a few parts
of the basic framework were rewritten from scratch, while some others
undergone a considerable revamping. The user documentation, at the
moment, is insufficient, and in some aspects even scarce. It is being
worked upon. However, most of the utilities self-document themselves.
To obtain a summary of available configuration statements for a given
program, run `program --config-help'. For additional documentation,
please refer to <http://mailutils.org/wiki>. If the piece of
documentation you are looking for is not available there, don't
hesitate to post your questions to <bug-mailutils@gnu.org>.
Due to the global nature of these changes, the rewrite of some parts
of the package is not yet finished, while some others are considered
experimental. Not currently implemented are:
- nntp client
Experimental features are:
- C++ bindings
