Claws Mail is a GTK+ based, user-friendly, lightweight, and fast

-
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
+* The TAB address completion in the Compose window now matches any
+ part of the address and not just the beginning.
-* Added an hidden option 'addressbook_use_editaddress_dialog' to
- embed the contact editor in the addressbook window in contrast to
- a separate dialog
+* When copying or moving a message, the type-ahead search now matches
+ any part of a folder name and not just the beginning.
-* 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
+* It is now possible to replace the current signature in the Compose
+ window by using the '/Message/Replace signature' menu item.

+ dialogue. See the option 'Warn when Subject is empty' option on the
+ '/Configuration/Preferences/Mail handling/Sending' page.
+
+* When sending messages, if the hostname cannot be determined,
+ fallback to 'localhost' rather than 'unknown', as the latter is
+ rejected by some servers.
-* Better automatic account selection for mailing lists (searches for
- the email address in the Delivered-To header also)
+* Added better handling of messages from broken mailers, such as
+ yahoo groups.
-* Made the "Synchronise" menu item inactive when there's nothing to
