* Autoprobe now recognizes Domino IMAP servers and warns the user.
* Add a needed pclose(3) call in interface.c (thank Matthias Andree).
+* In IMAP, use SEARCH UNSEEN instead of flag queries to count and identify
+ unseen messages (thanks to Alexis Lê-Quôc <alq666@hotmail.com>).
+* Added contrib/domino, a workaround for the Domino attachment problem.
+* Added contrib/toprocmail, which demonstrates how a plugin can
+ displaty selected mail headers.
+* French internationalization update from Guy Brand.

<LI>
+In IMAP, unseen-message counting and indexing is now done by SEARCH
+UNSEEN at the beginning of each poll or re-poll (rather than with
+the UNSEEN and RECENT responses and FLAGS queries on individual
+messages). This significantly cuts down on traffic to and from the
+server, and gives more reliable results.<p>
+
+<LI>
The aka option now matches hostname suffixes, so (for example) saying
`aka netaxs.com' will match not just netaxs.com but also (say)
pop3.netaxs.com and mail.netaxs.com.
+
<LI>
Fetchmail can optionally use the RFC 2177 IDLE extension on an IMAP
server that supports it.
