Notes

Compose Message Preview

A new feature this release: Compose Message Preview – See the email you’re about to send. Thanks Dennis! (@roccoblues)

To enable it: set compose_show_preview = yes More info: https://neomutt.org/feature/compose-message-preview

Config Changes

Along with a lot of code refactoring there have been some config changes. They unify the Alias and Query Dialogs – same behaviour, same format strings.

The changes are backwards compatible.
