+ messages". This is available on the Message View/Text Options

- information.
- Better display of contacts that have no name set, in contact
- lists, group contents, find duplicate results.
- Error messages don't show in the status bar anymore, alert

+ 2-line view in the message list when using the 3-column layout.

-* Much improved handling of Return Receipts, both outgoing and
- incoming.

+ Defaults to '1', fallback when possible.
-* Added the option to use the system defaults for External Programs
- preferences on the '/Message View/External Programs' page.

+ from configuration files under ~/.claws-mail/autofaces/. Further
+ information is provided in the manual.
-* IMAP: Added IMAP tags support. (Note: 'Bandwidth-efficient' mode
- prevents fetching of tags.)
+* The SHA1 fingerprint is now shown on the SSL certificate dialogue
+ and the labels are now selectable.

+* Several GUI improvements have been made, (Address book, filtering
+ dialogue, Actions dialogue, and Account preferences).

+ tray icons.

+* Added the Trash and Delete icons to the Custom Toolbars options.
-* MAEMO: Added LED flashing for new mail alerts
