+ 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.

- assigned to a specific account, by default it's "All".

- the "/View/Quotes/..." menu. The folding can also be toggled by

+ value, and to use strict RFC matching patterns for dates have been
