Software Update: K9 1.25

Robin Keir has released a new version of his anti-spam learning tool K9. The release, which is numbered 1.25, includes improvements to keep out viruses and junk mail with arbitrary words on board, such as the emails from the MyDoom virus. In addition, attention is now also being paid to whether emails claiming to be 7-bit do not secretly use 8-bit encoding, which could indicate unnecessary weird characters. The complete changelog looks like this:

• Added Copy to clipboard right-click menu to copy headers/email.
• Was only going to K9 website if Recent Emails page was last page shown.
• Added new token to mark non 7 bit messages when the encoding type suggested it was 7 bit.
• Fixed “hang” problem with emails that contained no body text.
• Fixed a problem with the “translate TOP to RETR” option.
• Fixed a problem with timing out on large emails + slow connections.
• K9 no longer attempts to manipulate non-standard line endings in the email body section.
• Using the filter lists and the “Any” keyword, K9 will now concatenate the header and the body and search it in one operation as opposed to previously searching the headers then searching the body.

[break]The installer of the new release is here to download. Those who have already installed K9 and only want the new executable can here justly.
