37 ** Now you can preserve IMAP4 message by part as a cache.
38 If you skipped enormous part, you can read other than skipped part when
41 ** Wanderlust also creates message view through prefetching.
42 Displaying of prefetched messages speeded up because of this.
44 ** Truncation of lines in message buffer or draft buffer is now controllable.
45 Non-nil value of wl-message-truncate-lines or wl-draft-truncate-lines

117 (Logging in with LOGIN command), you have to set the variable
118 `elmo-default-imap4-authenticate-type' as 'plain (or nil).

123 (setq elmo-default-imap4-authenticate-type 'clear)
125 * Changes in 2.4.0 from 1.1.1.
128 The version numbering convention for Wanderlust is changed.
130 In earlier versions, 1.x were stable version and from 2.0.x to 2.2.x
131 were beta version. But since version 2.3.0, the second (minor) version
132 number implies the stability of the Wanderlust. Even minor number
133 corresponds to a stable version, and an odd minor number corresponds
134 to a development version. This version numbering is based on the
135 widespread convention of open source development.
137 On the open CVS server cvs.m17n.org, main trunk contains the current
138 beta (newest experimental) version, and branches contain the stable
139 version. (If the version is 2.4.x, the branch name is wl-2_4)
143 *** FLIM 1.12 is not supported anymore.
144 See the file INSTALL for details.

156 *** UIDL support in POP3 folder
157 POP3 folder now saves the status of summary and it improves summary

159 used (Initial setting is t).
162 Wanderlust has started on supporting Standard Emacs 21.
163 Toolbars and icon images can be shown in almost Wanderlust
167 Server mailbox is checked periodically.
168 If new mail is arrived, Wanderlust changes the biff (icon) on the modeline
169 and updates folder mode content.
172 Now expire mechanism has new feature `hide', it does not remove
173 messages actually from folder but hides messages from summary. It
174 improves processing speed for large folders.
176 *** Message thread restoring feature
177 Automatic correction of broken threads by subject matching is now available.

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

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

193 re-numbers the messages.

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