- Tags are arbitrary labels that can be applied to messages. It is

- filter on Tags or Tag presence; apply or unset Tags via Filtering
- actions; reference Tags in reply Templates.
+Tags: Added tag alphabetical sorting and unified the dialogues.
-* Threads can now be sorted by most recent message
- /View/Sort/By thread date
+Edit accounts dialogue: The 'default account' (D) column has been
+ removed, instead the default account is indicated by use of

+ has no Face or X-Face header.
+
+'/View/Character encoding' submenus are now grouped together

+GTK+ built-in print support is now used if GTK+ >= 2.10 is available.
+ libgnomeprint will never be used if GTK+ >= 2.10 is available.

- old cached bodies should be removed. Accessible from the Folder
- Properties.
+Attachments: When opening attachments with 'Open' or 'Open with...'
+ the temporary files are now saved as read-only. A hidden
+ preference has been added, 'save_parts_readwrite', which
+ permits the previous behaviour.
-* IMAP: Made multiple copy, (in the same IMAP account), faster by
- matching source/destination message UIDs.
