newmail

2008-05-03: Version 0.5 released

Today a new version of newmail, the terminal notifyer for incoming mail, has been released to the public. This release comprises several improvements to the internal mail header parsing. All corrections and improvements together result in better header recognition and reporting.

Changes to the mbox such as the deletion of mail or the addition of single header lines no longer result in falsely reported new incoming mail. Character conversion functions have also been improved to the point that they should work flawlessly. Multipart encoded headers are also treated differently which results in the same reporting as in the Mutt mail client.

When the locale is set properly (using LANG or LC_CTYPE) non-ascii characters encoded as described in RFC 2045 found in the subject or from header line will be automatically converted into the current character set before they are displayed.

Please see the detailed changelog as well.
