-
-Version 0.5, "Salamander", 2000-09-13
--------------------------------------

- Ettore)
-
- - Added interfaces to change the string displayed in the tree view
- as the name of the folder. (Ettore)
-

-
- - Plenty of internal refactoring. (JP, Damon, Federico)
-
- - Pilot synch work, mostly on pcs infrastructure and some todo work (JP)
- <EXPERIMENTAL>

-
- - Added parsing of addresses. (Jesse Pavel)
-
- - Converted most of addressbook to UTF8. (Lauris)

- body. (Jeff)
-
- - A first draft of an automated mailing list recognizer
- has been added. (It will need more/better rules.) (Ettore)

- have an icon and a header, and you can right-click on the icon to
- view/hide, save, or launch an external viewer. (Dan)

- IMAP server. (Peter)
-
- - Lots of i18n/charset fixing. (Lauris)

-
- - Giant menu reorganization. Most message operations are now in the
- "Message" menu, and folder operations in the "Folder" menu.

- the location of the message list/message display split. (Richard

-
- - New filter category: "On-demand", for filters to be applied

- concurrent IMAP clients. (Jeff)

- 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
- Outbox for later sending. When a message is successfully sent, it
- is copied to the Sent folder for your records. (Jeff)
-
-ETable:
-
- - ETree fixes. (Chris Toshok)
-

-
- - Auto-filter/auto-vfolder code (right click on a message in the
- list and pick one of the options at the bottom of the menu to
- create a filter/vfolder rule for similar messages). (Michael)
-

-Mailer:
-
- - Lots of IMAP fixes. (Jeff)
-

- (Dan)
-
- - You can toggle HTML/plain text for an individual message
- in the composer now. (Ettore)
