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
