-
New in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* Added an option, "Use secure file deletion if possible", which
- enables shredding of temporary files and messages instead of
- just removing them. This is available on the Other preferences
- page.
-
-* Added an option, "Select the HTML part of multipart/alternative
- messages". This is available on the Message View/Text Options
- preferences page.
-
-* Added an option to the 'Create new folder' dialogue which enables
- new folders to inherit the properties of their parent folders
- during folder creation.
+* The TAB address completion in the Compose window now matches any
+ part of the address and not just the beginning.
-* Added a hidden option, "two_line_vertical", which toggles the
- 2-line view in the message list when using the 3-column layout.
- Defaults to '1', show 2 lines.
+* 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, "outgoing_fallback_to_ascii", which allows
- the user to specify an outgoing charset/encoding, but still fall
- back to 7bit US-ASCII when possible.
- Defaults to '1', fallback when possible.
+* 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.
-* Face and X-Face headers can now be added globally and per-account
- from configuration files under ~/.claws-mail/autofaces/. Further
- information is provided in the manual.
+* Added better handling of messages from broken mailers, such as
