6 which isn't the admin, EoC died. Now fixed. Bug found and patched by
9 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.2.4 to version 1.2.5:
11 * The change in 1.2.3 used the wrong log printing function, this
12 release uses the right one.

27 * Manual page: documents the values to the --posting option, and has
28 instructions for Courier-MTA users.
30 * When someone is told to wait for moderation, the message now contains
31 a few words of explanation that it might have happened due to spam.
33 * A German translation courtesy of Johannes Berg.
35 * Fixes to mail template headers (missing MIME-Type added, typos in
36 Content-Type headers).
38 * Bug fixes to avoid problems when mail headers are wrong (and encoding
39 them correctly fails), or when mail headers contain colons, or when
40 there's problems sending mail. Also, List-* headers are removed from
43 * CRLF line endings in incoming messages are converted to LF.
45 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.2 to version 1.2.1:
47 * Bugfix: Checking for base64 encodings now works.
49 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.1.5 to version 1.2:
51 * When the list manager sends a mail with an attached message (e.g.,
52 a bounce), they are marked as "Content-disposition: inline" so that
53 they are shown by default (by sensible mail user agents).
55 * A footer is not appended to messages that are base64 encoded.
57 * Updated translations for templates and manual pages.
59 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.1.4 to version 1.1.5:

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

84 * A bunch of new command line options: --get, --set, --language,
85 --mail-on-forced-unsubscribe, --mail-on-subscription-changes,
88 * Making an empty template file prevents the corresponding mail from
89 being sent at all. This can be used, for example, to prevent
90 "please wait for moderation" mails.
92 * The beginnings of a plugin architecture, where plugins can modify
93 EoC's operation or the mails it sends. There is only one supported
94 hook at the moment, though, but more will be added as needed.
96 * --show-lists now shows lists in alphabetical order.
98 Significant user-visible changes from version 1.1.1 to version 1.1.2:

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

151 address to make life easier for mutt users.
153 * Swedish translation.
