  • Claws Mail 3.7.2 Unleashed!!

    3rd July 2009 Claws Mail 3.7.2

    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'
    o bug 1866, 'Claws should make use of the IMAP 'deleted'
    flag'
    o bug 1872, 'A: Cc: CCi: selector should default on same as
    preceding contact'
    o bug 1878, 'Processing rules for folders with brackets
    aren't saved'
    o bug 1883, 'Message processing fails to act on Newsgroups:
    field'
    o bug 1895, '(imap) cache issues when cache dir is on a
    different mountpoint than tempdir'
    o bug 1904, 'build mechanism looks for 'enchant.h' in a wrong
    place'
    o bug 1913, 'Allow to remove phantom messages from the cache'
    o bug 1914, 'Crash reading corrupted tags file'
    o bug 1915, 'Mails signed with smime.p7s display both signed
    and attachment icon.'
    o bug 1935, 'problems with very long filtering actions'
    o bug 1940, 'Doesn't open links in user's default browser'
    o Debian bug 531052: 'Message-ID header does not conform to
    RFC-2822'
    o Redhat bug 486422, Ubuntu bug 486422: Don't ask for IMAP
    password when using GSSAPI auth
    o fix old print interface
    o fix "wrong mime" message printed out multiple times
    o fix empty spell checker menu when there are no suggestions
    o fix 'Wrong word replaced in 'Subject:' when spell-checking
    correction used'
    o fix internal headers visible in queue/sent
    o don't use un-sensitive checkboxes in Privacy tab when
    privacy system in None
    o [IMAP] fix tag update when all tags are removed by another
    client
    o fix saving of UTF-16 files
    o clear progressbar in the statusbar on 'Cancel'
    o TrayIcon plugin: respect the 'empty trash on exit' option
    o fix error messages in templates, and fix their checking
