[-] Some bugs with importing/exporting UNIX mailboxes
[-] It was possible to delete the last Administrative account
[-] Some bugs with character conversion of printed HTML messages
[-] "View|Message list" menu option in the Folder View was toggling Toolbar
[-] "Specials|Create Filter" dialogue was shown in the front of the main window when called from a Folder View
[-] A bug with recognising first/last name is the last name contained more than one names
[-] Subject line was ignored in search in headers
[-] Search|Advanced - Before/After dates were ignored
[-] Bug with sending the same messages several times
[-] Bugs with UU-Encoded files converted from the text bodies
[-] The mess with outgoing attachments must be fixed
[-] Now the "Delete attachments when the message is deleted from the Trash" option must be always working. Only for files from the account's attachment directory, of course :-)
[-] Attachments of the "Text/Plain" type are now shown on the attachments pane.
[-] Message | Copy/Move to folder commands were not working in the separate message view window. Now they are working even for messages from the Mail Dispatcher.
[-] %FROM="smth", %REPLYTO="smth", %RETURNPATH="smth" macros are no longer cumulative, they just overwrite the previous data
[-] Character set recognition was not always working in attached messages
[-] Favourite flag change for address group was often ignored.
[-] If the next non-empty line after %QUOTES macro in a template was starting with the '=' symbol, quotation was not inserted. The same was with %COOKIE macro (and probably some other macros).
[-] Attachment flag detection was not working properly. My apologies to those who was detecting HTML messages that way - they are no longer marked as messages with attachments.
[-] It was not possible to send out messages with empty body.
[-] Bug with folder default encoding (almost Russian - specific) - must be checked
[-] Conversion from OE5 should now work correctly
[-] Some problems connected to networking: checking mail caused automatic dialling even when messages were addressed to local mailboxes and folders configuration is updated automatically when edit/create/delete folders and on exit, plus Account|Refresh folders to do it manually
[-] Problem with docking the Quick search toolbar
[-] Renaming address group directly in the address book tree panel had per-session effect
[-] Invoking address view from a separate viewer window problem
[-] Tree lines must be drawn correctly on black background
[-] Potential vulnerability caused by Eudora-like hole is removed
[-] There were made so many fixes/improvements that we cannot remember all of them to mention individually :-)
