12 To suppress warning messages, set elmo-obsolete-variable-show-warnings to

122 The version numbering convention for Wanderlust is changed.
124 In earlier versions, 1.x were stable version and from 2.0.x to 2.2.x
125 were beta version. But since version 2.3.0, the second (minor) version
126 number implies the stability of the Wanderlust. Even minor number
127 corresponds to a stable version, and an odd minor number corresponds
128 to a development version. This version numbering is based on the
129 widespread convention of open source development.
131 On the open CVS server cvs.m17n.org, main trunk contains the current
132 beta (newest experimental) version, and branches contain the stable
133 version. (If the version is 2.4.x, the branch name is wl-2_4)

162 If new mail is arrived, Wanderlust changes the biff (icon) on the modeline
163 and updates folder mode content.
166 Now expire mechanism has new feature `hide', it does not remove
167 messages actually from folder but hides messages from summary. It
168 improves processing speed for large folders.

180 Deleted messages in the NNTP folder are saved to `killed-list'. The
181 messages in the killed-list are treated as if it were not exist on the

183 (Initial setting is t). By this feature, NNTP pipe folder works correctly.

199 under the directory '.elmo/filter/' beforehand.
