email client.
-Claws Mail was previously known as Sylpheed-Claws.
+Notes for this release:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* IMAP with STARTTLS

+ one wrong 'New certificate' warning on the first connection.
New in this release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-
-* Attaching files from 'mailto:' URIs (&attach=...) is now possible.
- A dialog is displayed to make sure that the user is aware that the
- mail will contain attachments
-
-* 'New Message format' has been added to the Compose/Writing options,
- this works like the Quote format and the same symbols are supported
-
-* Reworked the About dialog, including the addition of a new page,

- the email address in the Delivered-To header also)
