11 instructions for Courier-MTA users.
13 * When someone is told to wait for moderation, the message now contains
14 a few words of explanation that it might have happened due to spam.
16 * A German translation courtesy of Johannes Berg.
18 * Fixes to mail template headers (missing MIME-Type added, typos in
19 Content-Type headers).
21 * Bug fixes to avoid problems when mail headers are wrong (and encoding
22 them correctly fails), or when mail headers contain colons, or when
23 there's problems sending mail. Also, List-* headers are removed from
26 * CRLF line endings in incoming messages are converted to LF.
28 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.2 to version 1.2.1:
30 * Bugfix: Checking for base64 encodings now works.
32 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.1.5 to version 1.2:

35 a bounce), they are marked as "Content-disposition: inline" so that
36 they are shown by default (by sensible mail user agents).
38 * A footer is not appended to messages that are base64 encoded.
40 * Updated translations for templates and manual pages.
42 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.1.4 to version 1.1.5:

62 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.1.2 to version 1.1.3:
64 * Mails sent by EoC now get their headers MIME encoded (if the version

68 --mail-on-forced-unsubscribe, --mail-on-subscription-changes,
71 * Making an empty template file prevents the corresponding mail from
72 being sent at all. This can be used, for example, to prevent
73 "please wait for moderation" mails.
75 * The beginnings of a plugin architecture, where plugins can modify
76 EoC's operation or the mails it sends. There is only one supported
77 hook at the moment, though, but more will be added as needed.
79 * --show-lists now shows lists in alphabetical order.
81 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.1.1 to version 1.1.2:

87 * Headers of messages sent to the list can be manipulated in simple
88 ways: some headers can be removed and others added.

93 does so by making it a proper MIME attachment.
