Fix of the most annoying bugs in 3.3.1

[Colin Leroy-Mira]

Binary package hint: claws-mail

Hi,

With Hardy's release so near, I think there's no possibility that we (as Claws upstream developers) release a bugfix-release and have it packaged to Ubuntu Hardy.

So, I have hand-picked the most important bugfixes that we have in CVS since the 3.3.1 release, and created a tarball of various patches that would be great to have in the current 3.3.1 Ubuntu packages. There are two levels of bugfixes in that tarball:
10*.patch - these fix crashers, and really annoying bugs (like not being able to mark as Read on Exchange);
20*.patch - these fix annoyances, bugs that could go unfixed since the next upgrade of the package; but since Hardy's planned to be an LTS, I would love to see them fixed.

Each patch starts with a description of what it fixes. I hope it'll be possible to have these in the debian/patches directory! :)

Thanks,
Colin

Dear Andrew Starr-Bochicchio,

please don't mess with bugs I'm assigned too...this bug is informational...and we are dealing with it. Please, never set bugs to confirmed if they aren't. This bug deals with other bugs in our or other bts system...so please let it alone.
