+         - New configuration option DRAFT_DIR defaults to $TEMP from the

+           in the DRAFT_DIR (see documentation for more).

-v.2.0
-	*) Supersedes will have a new signature by default
-    *) Obsolete code for Yad and Zenity dialogs removed.
-v 1.99
-    *) Bugfix: The value of a custom header can include a colon.
-       Example:   x-my-header: apples: 2,90, peers: 3,10
-       (before, the value would have been clipped after the first ':')
-v 1.98
-    *) New change log (this file) 
-    *) In the configuration file, log levels can be in upper case.
-v 1.97
-    *) Custom headers are RFC 2047 encoded, if need be.
-       (before, they had to be ASCII only or were discarded).
