Do you really think that every developer is making a new release each time a bug is found ? None of the bug found so far are critical bugs and justify IMHO a new update. BTW it is far easier to give support on one version of your software than on ten. I'm nearly 100% sure that today all the questions that I will receive are about XMail 3.7 and not 3.7.1 or 3.7.7.

XMail is one of the least lucrative job I've ever done in my life and I'm sure you don't like to work for nothing, the same applies to others …

FYI information here what has been done since the latest update of XMail :

Version 3.8.5 beta : December, 17 2006
- the text encoding converter of Mac OS X is not available from XMail and can be used to perform encoding conversion


Version 3.8.4 beta : December, 16 2006
- added an 'input encoding' parameter in 'send mail' allowing you to set the input encoding of the body being used in 'send mail' (default is utf-8)
- added the ability to search for a password in the 'login' keychain. the password is search using the smtp server name, the port and the username


Version 3.8.3 beta : December, 13 2006
- the regular expression library has been updated to the latest version of libpcre (6.7)
- a bug in 'send raw mail' causing a script to crash has been found and solved (bug reported by Jon8)
- added an 'input encoding' parameter in 'send mail' allowing you to set the input encoding of the body being used in 'send mail' (default is utf-8)
- added the ability to search for a password in the 'login' keychain. the password is serach using the smtp server name, the port and the username


Version 3.8.2 beta : December, 12 2006

- added the ability to a SMTP server to know what authentication schemes can be used with XMail (except for pop3 and apop authentication)


Version 3.8.1 beta : December, 11 2006

- bug fixed when using the automatic detection of the authentication method of the SMTP server (bug reported by Jon8)
- added a new output encoding "us-ascii"


Version 3.8.0 beta : November, 26 2006

- added the ability to choose a different encoding (right now, UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1 are supported, but there is room for improvement)
-> specifying one of those encoding will assume that you want to use it in all parts of the mail to be sent
- all tools have been updated to reflect this change
- a bug was found when giving an empty body, this is now fixed.


	Version 3.7.2 : October, 29 2006

		- fixed a bug when encoding blocks of less than 76 characters.

	Version 3.7.1 : October, 10 2006

		- fixed a bug when encoding the email addresses containing a name.

Thanks for the reply. I am puzzled by one thing.

If users are requesting bug fixes, then there must be bugs, and you are
giving individual users the fixed version, why isn't it just posted as 3.7.1
or something?
