mboxShell v1.1.0

The search syntax can now be looked up without leaving the program, plus a security update for HTML exports.

What's new

  • Feature: the help (?) lists every search operator (#48), with the date format and a pointer to the README and the manual. It used to show 8 of the 15; cc:, filename:, id:, before:/after:, date ranges, size: units, OR and - were missing.
  • Feature: F1 opens the help at the search syntax, also from inside the search bar, where ? is part of the query. Esc takes you back to the query as you left it.
  • Feature: search --help and export --help end with the same operator list, in English or Spanish.
  • Security: ammonia, which sanitizes HTML exports, updated to 4.2.4 for RUSTSEC-2026-0373, RUSTSEC-2021-0157 and RUSTSEC-2021-0158 (CSS url() in style attributes and SVG animation tags could get past the sanitizer). Earlier versions are affected; update if you share HTML exports.
