~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- [claws-mail --alternate-config-dir DIR]
-
-Tags: Added tag alphabetical sorting and unified the dialogues.
-
-Edit accounts dialogue: The 'default account' (D) column has been
- removed, instead the default account is indicated by use of
- bold text.
-
-Templates: Added ability to attach files using |attach{filename}.
- Templates options are now presented in a tabbed layout.

- It is now possible to set an image for each contact. Pictures
- from a contact's Face or X-Face will be automatically set

- displayed in the message view or header pane if the message
- has no Face or X-Face header.
-

- title.
-
