[RFC PATCH 1/2] news: Be louder about s/v/o on part buttons going away

[Austin Clements]

This change is likely to affect most people, so put this information
right in the news header and be more explicit about it in the news
detail.

-New keymap to view/save parts
-
-  To view or save a single MIME part of a message, use the new "."
-  submap (e.g., ". s" to save, ". v" to view).  Previously, these keys
-  were only available when point was on a part button and they did not
-  have the "." prefix, so they were difficult to invoke (impossible if
-  a part did not have a button) and clashed with other bindings.
-  These new bindings also appear in show's help, so you don't have to
-  memorize them.
+New keymap to view/save parts; removed s/v/o part button bindings
+
+  The commands to view, save, and open MIME parts are now prefixed
+  with "." (". s" to save, ". v" to view, etc) and can be invoked with
+  point anywhere in a part, unlike the old commands, which were
+  restricted to part buttons.  The old "s"/"v"/"o" commands on part
+  buttons have been removed since they clashed with other bindings
+  (notably "s" for search!) and could not be invoked when there was no
+  part button.  The new, prefixed bindings appear in show's help, so
+  you no longer have to memorize them.
 
 Default part save directory is now `mm-default-directory`

Please ignore this semi-duplicate message.  I screwed up my git
send-email invocation.
