23 ** Now you can preserve IMAP4 message by part as a cache.
24 If you skipped enormous part, you can read other than skipped part when
27 ** Wanderlust also creates message view through prefetching.
28 Displaying of prefetched messages speeded up because of this.

50 messages and urge you to change settings.
51 To suppress warning messages, set elmo-obsolete-variable-show-warnings to

101 (Logging in with LOGIN command), you have to set the variable
102 `elmo-default-imap4-authenticate-type' as 'plain (or nil).
103 But in 2.4.1, it is changed to 'clear (or nil).

109 * Changes in 2.4.0 from 1.1.1.
112 The version numbering convention for Wanderlust is changed.
114 In earlier versions, 1.x were stable version and from 2.0.x to 2.2.x
115 were beta version. But since version 2.3.0, the second (minor) version
116 number implies the stability of the Wanderlust. Even minor number
117 corresponds to a stable version, and an odd minor number corresponds
118 to a development version. This version numbering is based on the
119 widespread convention of open source development.
121 On the open CVS server cvs.m17n.org, main trunk contains the current
122 beta (newest experimental) version, and branches contain the stable
123 version. (If the version is 2.4.x, the branch name is wl-2_4)

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

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

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

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