TMDA 0.63 is released

TMDA 0.63 is released.

=====================================================================

What's new?

* Major improvements to TMDA's auto-responder:

- Auto-responses are now MIME messages.

- Internationalization (I18N). Character sets other than US-ASCII are
  now supported in the templates, both in the headers and body. This
  includes multi-byte character sets such as those found in Asian
  languages. RFC-compliant conversion and encoding is handled
  automatically by the auto-responder.

  See the new TMDA Template HOWTO for complete information:

      <URL:http://tmda.net/howto-template.html>

  If you use customized templates that contain non-ASCII characters,
  you must read this HOWTO and adjust your templates
  accordingly. Otherwise, it's safe to ignore it.

- The wording in the default templates has changed slightly. If you
  use customized templates, you might consider incorporating these
  changes.

- The `Auto-Submitted:' header described in Keith Moore's IETF draft
  ``Recommendations for Automatic Responses to Electronic Mail'' is
  supported. This header is checked when receiving incoming messages,
  and also added to TMDA's own auto responses.

* Better multi-lingual support for tmda-pending. Charset encoded
  headers are now decoded when displaying message summaries. This
  even works for multi-byte character sets.

* An additional delivery action `hold' has been added thanks to Tim.
  This deposits the message in the pending/ directory but does not
  send out a confirmation request.

* New remote authentication sources for tmda-ofmipd.  The `-R' option
  has been extended to support authentication against POP3 servers
  using APOP, and also LDAP servers (courtesy of David Guerizec).  See
  `tmda-ofmipd --help' and/or http://tmda.net/tmda-ofmipd.html for
  more information.

* Heavy internal reorganization.

* Bugfixes.

=====================================================================

Here are the new additions to UPGRADE:

* Python version 2.1 or greater is now required.  Upgrade at
  <URL:http://www.python.org/download/>

* When sending an auto response, a new configuration variable
  (AUTORESPONSE_INCLUDE_SENDER_COPY) is used to control whether a copy
  of the sender's message is included or not.  For available options,
  <URL:http://tmda.net/config-vars.html#AUTORESPONSE_INCLUDE_SENDER_COPY>

  If you are using customized templates, you should remove the last
  few lines in each template which include the sender's copy.  For
  example, in confirm_request.txt:

  --- Enclosed is a copy of your message.

  %(original_message)s

  Otherwise, you'll include two copies of the sender's message.

* When sending confirmation requests, Reply-To is now set from the
  confirm_request.txt template.  This is to allow the option to not
  include the confirmation address in a Reply-To header.

  If you use a customized confirm_request.txt, you'll need to add the
  following line to the top (header section) of your template:

  Reply-To: %(confirm_accept_address)s
