<<History>>

Mew is based on the implementation experience of mhpem.el, firstly
programmed by Mine Sakurai, that adds PEM feature to mh-e.el providing
auto decryption and verification. She and I gave up developing
mhpem.el due to the version up of mh-e.el and its inflexibility.

I started programming Mew integrating many excellent ideas from other
free softwares and my own. Auto decryption and verification were
merged from mhpem.el. Dinamic window configuration feature and only
SPC-key interface were inported from GNUS. Asynchronous inc and scan
was provided by mhaync.el. Mark based message handling was brought by
gnus-mark.el. VM like refile-folder-alist was merged, of course, from
VM. Any other ideas were probably Mew's original. The author hereby
thanks the authors of exellent free softwares.
