reconnect. This was part of Camel operation cancellation support,
which unfortunately didn't make it into 0.5. (Peter)
- Sent and Outbox folders are now functional. You now have 2
options when sending a message - "Send Now" which will send the
message imediately and "Send Later" which will queue the message in

is copied to the Sent folder for your records. (Jeff)

on filter rules. (Local stores can also now store arbitrary user

vfolder. (Michael)

never delete mail.)

a folder from one type to the other. (Michael)
- The mbox provider now writes out "From " lines that are more
compatible with other mailers (like Mutt) that are picky about
their exact format. (Michael)

in the composer now. (Ettore)

Mailer:
Major features:
* Basic IMAP support (Jeff)
* Threaded message view (Michael, Chris Toshok)
* Filters now work (original work by Michael, bugfixes by Dan)
Smaller features:
* Implemented moving messages between folders (Dan)
* Very basic printing support (Dan, but it was only like 5 lines
of code, because gnome-print kicks ass)
* "Delete", "Forward", and "Refile" operations now work on
multiple messages. (Chris Lahey, Peter Williams, Dan)
* Toggle read/unread flag when the user clicks on the envelope
icon (Chris Lahey, Dan).
* The "New folder" menu item now works (Ettore, Dan).
* The filter/vfolder druid now uses the new shell folder selection
UI (Michael)
* Added "Cc" to the set of filter/vfolderable headers and make the
filter/vfolder "messages to address" rule work with to or cc.
(Dan)
* New key bindings: "Delete" deletes the current message and jumps
to the next undeleted message. "N" and "P" go to next/previous
unread message. (Dan)
* Keep asking for POP/IMAP password until the user gets it correct
or hits Cancel, and remember the result until the user exits (or
chooses "Forget Passwords"). (Dan, Jeff)
* Kludge Camel to output ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8, since
neither GtkHTML nor ETable supports UTF-8 still. (Dan)
* Use the gnome-vfs "sniff buffer" interface to try to identify
the MIME type of attachments without useful type information
(Dan)
* Allow saving drafts in the composer (Ettore)
* Added "Received date" header to the set of possible message list
headers. (Dan)
* Partial gladification of the config dialog (JP Rosevear)
Bug fixes:
* Message read/unread/deleted flags should now be saved reliably
when you exit, and summary should not be rebuilt when a rebuild
isn't needed. Expunging should work reliably (Dan, Ettore,
Jeff).
* Fix disappearing toolbar bug (Dan).
* Fixed a bug that made downloading of very large messages over
POP incredibly slow, and various other smaller POP bugs. (Dan)
* Fixed bugs that made large attachments sometimes get dropped and
small ones sometimes get truncated. (Dan)
* Fixed filter/vfolder "messages to address" rule to correctly
match "to" rather than "from". (Michael)
* Fix some text/plain formatting bugs in the composer. (Dan,
Ettore)
* Turn off search mode when getting new mail (to avoid corrupting
the display). Make "get mail" always put unfiltered mail into
Inbox rather than the current folder. (Dan)
* Fixed a bug that caused "Re:" to be prepended even to subjects
that started with "Re:" when replying. Added a default subject
to forwarded messages. (Dan)
* Make the "Attach" dialog in the composer remember the last
directory it was in. (Dan)
* Code to parse invalid date formats since some mailers generate
them... (Jeff)
* Fixed various small SMTP bugs (Jeff, Chris Lahey)
* Fixed some memory leaks (Peter, Jeff)
* Make replies use the text/plain part of a multipart/alternative
if the user configured plain text rather than HTML mail sending.
(Dan)
* Various config dialog fixes (Jeff)
* Partial filter/vfolder GUI facelift (Jacob)
