CLAWS MAIL RELEASE NOTES
http://www.claws-mail.org
-
+
Claws Mail is a GTK+ based, user-friendly, lightweight, and fast
email client.
-Notes for this release:
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-* libetpan 0.48 or greater is now required for IMAP support.
-
New in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* The Compose window now has an /Options/Reply mode/ menu. This
- enables changing the recipients of a reply on the fly.
-
-* QuickSearch now has a type-ahead option for fast searches.
-
-* Extra symbols are now available for the Quote parser, your name,
- your email address, the account name, and the organization.
-
-* In the Folder Properties, it is now possible to test the regular
- expression used in the Simplify Subject RegExp option.
-
-* GSSAPI support has been added for IMAP.
-
-* UIDPLUS support has been added for IMAP.
-
-* A Stop button has been added for Message Body searches, enabling
- cancelling of a running search. This is available in '/Edit/Search
- Folder...' and '/Edit/Find in current message...'.
-
-* libSM support has been added. This enables communication with the
- session manager, so that it is known when the session ends, in
- order to save the caches, and draft any messages currently being
- composed.
-
-* Support for Address Book Groups has been added to the Compose
- window's automatic address completion.
-
-* a new hidden option has been added, 'respect_flowed_format'. This
- follows RFC3676 with regard to a message part with a Content-Type
- that includes 'format=flowed' and 'delsp=yes'. This will cause some
- mails to have long lines, but will fix some URLs that would
- otherwise be wrapped. By default it is turned off.
-
-* Basic key import/export has been added to the PGP plugins. When
- generating a new key pair you can export the public key to a key
- server. When selecting the signature part of a message, if the key
- is not on your keyring, you will be asked if you want to attempt
- to import it from a keyserver.
-
-* The TrayIcon now displays 'offline' status.
-
-* More window sizes and placements are remembered across sessions.
