mboxShell

Inline images that stay in HTML exports

• HTML exports now embed the message's inline images (#49). Each <img src="cid:…"> is replaced with the image from the message itself as a data: URI, so logos and pictures show up with no files alongside and nothing to download. Before, they went missing. On by default in export -f html and in the app's HTML export; --no-inline-images turns it off.
• Only PNG, JPEG, GIF and WebP are embedded, and they are recognised by their first bytes rather than by the declared type, so an SVG — which can carry scripts — is never embedded.
• An unknown theme in the config file used to be ignored without a word; now it gets a warning like any other invalid value, and the warning is translated. 5 new tests (316 in total).

The full search syntax, without leaving the app

• The help (?) now lists every search operator — from:, to:, cc:, subject:, body:, filename:, label:, id:, has:attachment, date:, date ranges, after:/before:, size:, OR and - — with the date format and a pointer to the manual (#48). Before, it showed only 8 of the 15. 3 new tests (311 in total).
• F1 opens the help straight at the search syntax, also from the search bar, where ? is part of the query; Esc takes you back to the query just as you left it. On the command line, search --help and export --help end with the same operator list, in English or Spanish.
• Security: ammonia, the library that sanitizes HTML exports, is updated to 4.2.4 for three RUSTSEC advisories (RUSTSEC-2026-0373, RUSTSEC-2021-0157 and RUSTSEC-2021-0158). Earlier versions of mboxShell are affected, so updating is recommended.

First stable release, with a config file that finally works

• The first stable release. From now on the command line and the config file follow Semantic Versioning (SemVer): anything that breaks them will only arrive in a new major version. 7 new tests (308 in total).
• New mboxshell config [path|show|defaults] command (#40). path says where the config file is and whether it exists yet; show prints it with a warning for each value it ignores; defaults prints every option with its default value as a commented file. It changes nothing and only writes to standard output, so redirecting defaults into a file gives you a starting point.
• Most config file options used to do nothing: only the log level, the theme and the two attachment options were read. default_sort, sort_order, date_format, layout, show_sidebar, max_cached_messages, csv_separator and cache_dir now work, and an invalid value falls back to its default with a warning instead of being silently ignored. On macOS the file is ~/Library/Application Support/mboxshell/config.toml, not ~/.config/mboxshell as the README said.
