email and address might not be the same as in the original from field)

on these errors any longer

active identity
-Added handling for parameters in mailto links

-The group descriptions are now fetched from the server together with the
group list (optional; see General settings>Connections)
-The default alternation color is now calculated as a variation from the
default background color
-The flat menu style now depends on the current theme
-Converted the status window to a toolbar (unfortunately the transparency
slider had to go)
-Added more themes (default theme now is Office2003), made the toolbars
theme aware and moved the theme selection from the general settings onto the
Settings menu bar
-The toolbars can now be dragged around and can float
-Added the "Distribution" header in the composition window
-Views assigned to a group now only work as _intial_ views when entering a
group; further if a default view for a group is currently overriding the
global view, the actual active view is painted in bold in the Views menu
-Menus are now animated (if enabled in the Windows (XP/2000) settings)
-The GUI reacts slicker now with lots of worker threads
-The active selection is now updated before the context menu in the group
and article list is shown (fixing incorrectly enabled/disabled menu items)
-Folder names in "!copy" and "!move" actions now work case-sensitive
-Non-image attachments larger than 5MB that were already automatically saved
to disk are no longer loaded into memory when the article is selected (fixes
"out of memory" errors with very large attachments)
-Terms like "[email protected]" are now considered to be a MsgID
-The size of the selected fallback font is now automatically selected.
Dialog tries to use a fallback font size that results in about the same font
height as the default font. The font sizes in the font fallback list now are
relative to the standard font size in case it needs a bit of human
adjustment (+/- 0, 1, 2, etc.)
-Made the font fallback much faster (fontinfo.dat is no longer needed)
