CLAWS MAIL RELEASE NOTES
http://www.claws-mail.org
-
+
Claws Mail is a GTK+ based, user-friendly, lightweight, and fast
email client.
New in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* Default Cc, Bcc and Reply-To options have been added to Folder
- Properties.
-
-* MIME parts that lack an end boundary are now handled, (even though
- they're INVALID!).
-
-* A 'Metadata handling' option has been added to the Miscellaneous
- options page. The options are 'safer' or 'faster'. 'faster' is
- Claws' original behaviour. 'safer' prevents data loss on system
- crashes where the filesystem is of a 'not-so-robust' variety, e.g.
- xfs. If in doubt, use 'safer'. This option defaults to 'safer'.
-
-* Face and X-Face previews have been added to the Custom Header
- Configuration dialogue in Account preferences.
-
-* An option has been added to the Receive page of IMAP account
- preferences, "Move deleted mails to trash and expunge immediately".
- This option is on by default to avoid changing the existing
- behaviour. Turning it off prevents automatic expunging.
- Also, 'Tools/Expunge' and 'View/Hide deleted messages' menu items
- have been added to main toolbar.
-
-* Support for clickable gopher:// links has been added.
-
-* In the Compose window a warning dialogue is raised if attachments
- that have been added no longer exist on the filesystem at the time
- of sending.
-
-* Buttons to clear header lines in the Compose window have been
- added.
-
-* GnuTLS compatibility mode is now used, this avoids problems with
- servers that don't comply 100% with the spec, but still exist.
-
-* tools/csv2addressbook.pl
- thunderbird import for version 2.0.0.21 has been added.
-
-* Added Indonesian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Slovakian translations.
-
-* Updated Bulgarian, Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Finnish, French,
- German, Hungarian, Italian, Russian, and Spanish translations.
-
-* Bug fixes:
- o bug 1735, 'Change To: and Newsgroups: recipient field
- according account type'

- flag'
