8th January 2007 Claws Mail 2.7.0 CLAWS MAIL RELEASE NOTES http://www.claws-mail.org Claws Mail is a GTK+ based, user-friendly, lightweight, and fast email client. Claws Mail was previously known as Sylpheed-Claws. New in this release: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * The --select option can now also select emails by Message-ID * Attaching files from 'mailto:' URIs (&attach=...) is now possible. A dialog is displayed to make sure that the user is aware that the mail will contain attachments * 'New Message format' has been added to the Compose/Writing options, this works like the Quote format and the same symbols are supported * Reworked the About dialog, including the addition of a new page, 'Features', which indicates which of the optional features are compiled in and which are not. A 'Release Notes' page was also added * Added history combo for all search fields (message and text) * The 'mark_as_read_delay' option is not hidden anymore and can be found in Configuration/Preferences/Summaries * Added global and per-folder preferences to set the default alternate dictionary * Allow spell-checking to use both current and alternate dictionaries * Added an hidden option 'addressbook_use_editaddress_dialog' to embed the contact editor in the addressbook window in contrast to a separate dialog * Added a hidden option 'unsafe_ssl_certs', to allow storing multiple SSL certificates for a given server/port. You will be asked to accept unknown certificates. Unchecking this option will require you to re-accept previously known certificates * Allow copying of folders between mailboxes * Better automatic account selection for mailing lists (searches for the email address in the Delivered-To header also) * Made the "Synchronise" menu item inactive when there's nothing to synchronise * Use Message font in Writing and Quoting preferences, as well as in Templates * Added more HTML symbols to the html to text converter * Save the addressbook's window size on closing * Better checks for syntax errors are applied to Templates and Quote formats * Added a check to avoid trying to use a non-existent folder as default inbox * Enable setting SSL via STARTTLS from the set-up wizard * Added handling of ":port" in server addresses in the set-up wizard to specify a port to connect to * Bogofilter plugin: added an option to print the X-Claws-Bogosity header in emails handled by the Bogofilter plugin (in MH folders only) * Bogofilter plugin: added an option to whitelist senders found in addressbook * Bogofilter plugin: Allow storing of Unsure mails in a specific folder to make better teaching easier * Bogofilter plugin: Improved GUI interaction while Bogofilter is filtering * TrayIcon plugin: added an "Email from account/..." submenu * updated Brazilian Portuguese, British English, Catalan, Finnish, French, Italian, Serbian, Simplified Chinese, Slovak, and Spanish translations * Bug fixes: o bug 934, 'sylpheed claws 2.1 doesn't show Exchanges Public Folders' o bug 1052, 'templates %d and %D{fmt} broken but %af works fine' o bug 1055, 'Add the 'cancel receive' in the available events for the toolbar buttons' o bug 1059, 'Better jpilot charset handling' o bug 1064, 'crash @ etpan_certificate_check() when opening an IMAP folder' o bug 1067, 'Claws-Mail uses 100% CPU on an IMAP folder and is blocked on main thread' o bug 1072, 'Claws stops fetching newsgroups from server when newsgroup got deleted' o bug 1076, 'privacy options are displayed even when pgp plugin not loaded / available' o bug 1077, 'sylpheed-claws does not start when IMAP server is unavailable' o bug 1080, 'Using SSL option in wizard for incoming server does not activate SSL with STARTTLS' o bug 1081, 'claws-mail segfaults when going offline while it transfers mails via imap' o bug 1082, 'incorrect / imprecise error message when imap server provides ssl only through STARTTLS but SSL is selected' o bug 1085, 'Apply to subfolder doesn't work' o bug 1088, 'ctrl-h produces repeatable crash'. o bug 1089, 'NUL characters in Subject line are misinterpreted' o fixed encoding of headers in the welcome message o fixed some sensitivity issues in preferences o fixed crash when using Hide read messages with Mark as read delay o fixed parsing of mailcap files with tabs o fixed address comparison when replying to all (it was possible to reply to ourselves if the case was different) o fixed folder's cache update after running an Action o fixed hiding of Quicksearch with Esc o fixed printing of selection, message part, and images o fixed page count in printing o IMAP: Fix failure to get separator on LIST "" "" o change manual's target dir to be LFH-compliant o some compilation warning fixes o don't warn about empty subject when redirecting emails o fix scrolling of log window o partial download: Fix Mark for download/deletion when the relevant header is not the first one o fixed slowness when appending on IMAP o fixed wrong state of test regexp in folder preferences o made desktop and icon files not dependant on GNOME 2 o fixed a little memory leak in the addressbook o don't display errors when synchronising IMAP mailboxes that have non selectable folders o When possible, move messages from Queue to Sent instead of copying and deleting o don't use any MimeViewer plugin when showing all headers o tools/maildir2claws-mail.pl: Only substitute 'sent-mail' if it's the full directory name o disable Control-Space (handle it as Space).
