From the Changelog:
The keys used are:
!: modified feature, -: deleted feature, +: new feature
1.8.0 (2017-02-24):
- $locale has been removed. Mutt now respects the LC_TIME setting
instead. See also $attribution_locale.
+ $attribution_locale can be used to override the date formatting in
attribution strings. When unset, Mutt will use the locale
environment, but note the default value of $date_format has a
leading '!' which says to use the C-locale.
! Message-id and mail-followup-to headers are now preserved for recalled
messages.
+ <unsidebar_whitelist> added to complement <sidebar_whitelist>.
! The pager position is reset to the top when toggling header-weed.
! IMAP messages moved to $trash via server-side copy are marked as read.
+ <root-message> jumps to the root message of a thread.
! Piped text attachments are charset converted.
+ Added %F to $attach_format, to show the content-disposition filename.
%d will fall back to %F which will fall back to %f.
+ <rename-attachment> allows an attachment name to be changed, without
modifying the underlying file's name.
! Mutt will look for the user's muttrc additionally in
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mutt/.
+ Compressed mbox and mmdf files are now supported via open-hook,
close-hook, and append-hook. See contrib/sample.muttrc-compress
for suggested settings. Note this is a compile-time option:
--enable-compressed.
+ When $flag_safe is set, flagged messages cannot be deleted.
+ The '@' pattern modifier can be used to limit matches to known aliases.
+ <mark-message> creates a hotkey binding to a specific message. The hotkey
prefix is specified via $mark_macro_prefix.
+ <setenv> and <unsetenv> can be used to add/remove environment variables
passed to children.
! Mutt will now use the built-in OpenSSL SSL_set_verify() callback
to verify certificates. This allows better support for verifying
chains, including alternative chain support.
+ $uncollapse_new controls whether a thread will be uncollapsed when a new
message arrives.
! $to_chars and $status_chars now accept multibyte characters.
+ <subjectrx> allows replacing matching subjects with something else.
This can be used to declutter subject lines in the index.
+ <edit-label> can be used to add, change, or delete a message's X-Label.
! Pattern expressions with ~y support label tab completion.
+ The header cache now also supports Kyoto Cabinet and LMDB as
backend databases.
That way sending mail with mutt works on NixOS too, without having to
manually change mutt's config on your system. sendmail will be found in
$PATH at runtime, and thus the setuid wrapper will be used, if
available.
