[neomutt-devel] Feature: Compose Preview Message

[Richard Russon]

Hi Devs!

I've just merged a new feature, written by Dennis Schön (@roccoblues).

    #4437 - Show message preview in compose view 
    https://github.com/neomutt/neomutt/pull/4437

Many thanks!

This is a new feature and it's still under development.
If you find any problems, or you'd like to help improve it, please let us know.

Note: It's enabled by default, but will be disabled for release.

NeoMutt shows you a preview of the message you are about to send in the Compose Dialog.

New Config:

# Show the message preview above the attachments list.
# By default it is shown below it.
set compose_preview_above_attachments = no

# Hide the preview if it has fewer than this number of rows
set compose_preview_min_rows = 5

# Display a preview of the message body in the Compose window
set compose_show_preview = yes

New Compose Functions:

- <preview-page-down> (default binding: <PageDown>)
- <preview-page-up>   (default binding: <PageUp>)

Limitations:

- Pager displays simple text, no colour or attributes
- Text wrapping is not supported
