Fixed: DIGEST-MD5 authentication for SMTP was always being tried first, even if the server did not advertise support for it.

Compose: when there is no Text Body, one will be synthesized automatically from the HTML Body. Even though the Text Body is only displayed by email clients that don't support HTML, and these are exceedingly rare, we encountered a spam filter that penalized emails that lack a Text Body.

The Unicode Character Map now uses narrow cells if neither the hex nor decimal code is displayed. Also, the Page Up/Down keys are now supported.

Numerous improvements to the Attachment Viewer. Added support for displaying PDF files. Added support for HTML and text files that are in unicode, provided they contain the "byte order mark".

Replies will now preserve the inline style of the original email's tag.
Replies are now much better about displaying unicode characters in the quoted email.
Forwards will now display unicode characters instead of MIME encoding for the original From, To, and Subject. However, you must load the default "Forward" template for this to work. This utilizes the new header_to_html() G-Merge function.
Added the "Insert Groupbox" tool to the HTML editor.
Added the ability to resend an outgoing email. Right click on an email in the Sent folder's Messages Table, and choose "Resend".

When an email specifies the US-ASCII character set, WINDOWS-1252 is now used instead. This ensures that non-ASCII characters will appear correctly instead of as squares.

Significant improvement to how fast curses are detected during spam testing.
Numerous improvements to the Unicode Character Map.
The Outbox and Sent folders will now display the BCC: header.

Added the "Troubleshoot Curses" tool to the context menu for the Curses list. This will report any case where a curse is a substring of another curse.
Cleaned up the list of curses. Unless you have been adding many of your own curses, we recommend going to the Curses List, right clicking on it, and choosing "Load Default Curses".
Added new G-Merge date format codes that use the computer's regional settings. "~" specifies the regional date. "@" specifies the regional time. "~@" specifies the regional date/time. The default templates for Forward, Reply, and Confirm now use these date formats.

Fixed: when dropping emails into a mail folder, using the right mouse button and choosing "Move Here", the files will now be deleted as expected.
Fixed: when using the "View Message" tool, and there are multiple messages selected, clicking "Delete" was deleting all of the selected messages instead of just the current message.
Fixed: no text body would appear if it contains malformed UTF-8.
Fixed: emails with malformed UTF-8 were evading spam detection.
Fixed: when multiple blacklists are specified, an email could receive a spam penalty multiple times for the same hyperlink.

Added the "Test Incoming Server" and "Test Outgoing Server" tools to the Mailbox Properties window.
