I've merged all the UTF-8/unicode stuff with the master branch (which was just bug fixes) and that worked, so this is will be what I'll ship as 4 0 3 STABLE in just a little while - provided nothing is found to make it a show-stoper Below is the change log It doesn't mention anything about the Unicode/UTF-8 work which I will add soon

4 0 3 Changes 4 0 3 Changes to Default List Settings We've changed a few of the default list settings, hopefully so that everyone has a more pleasant experience, right off the bat:

Activate Black List We've enabled the setting to active the Black List, by default

We're also enabling the below settings:

• Move Unsubscribed Subscribers Automatically to the Black List

• Continue to Allow Subscriptions From Subscribers of Black Listed Addresses

  You still have the option to change new lists to the previous behavior and already created lists will have their previous behavior, if Black List Settings have already been edited

  Print List-Specific Headers option Removed The option, Print List-Specific Headers has been removed from, Mail Sending -Advanced Sending Preferences has been removed, but the functionality has not All mailing list messages will have these headers

  Send Unsubscription Confirmation Emails (Closed-Loop Opt-Out) - disabled by default Send Unsubscription Confirmation Emails (Closed-Loop Opt-Out) has been disabled by default (you can still enable it)

  This option, when enabled, requires that when someone wants to unsubscribe, they have to confirm this unsubscription by clicking on the unsubscription confirmation link in a URL sent their subscribed address

  When disabled (the new default), they simply have to fill out the subscribe/unsubscribe form

  Subscription and Unsubscription links now include an Email Address When available, both the Subscription and Unsubscription links will have the potential subscriber's (or unsubscriber's) email address in the link itself, so that the user does not have to do the two-step of first following the link and then typing in their email address

  These links are created per-subscriber (or potential sub/unsub), when you use the:

  or,

  tags Previously, these tags only provided a link to the subscription/unsubscription form, without the email address embedded within the link itself There is no way to revert this behaviour, but you can still roll your own links, like this:

  Subscription Link:

  https://dadamailproject com/cgi-bin/dada/mail cgi/s/dadadev

  Unsubscription Link:

  https://dadamailproject com/cgi-bin/dada/mail cgi/u/dadadev

  Unsubscription Links Now Mandatory for Mass Mailing Messages Dada Mail will now do a quick check to make sure that there is a Dada Mail Unsubscription link in your mass mailing messages, before sending them out

  If one is not found, one will be automatically appended to the end of your message

  It will not be very fancy

  We suggest that you make sure that you have a real, valid, Dada Mail unsubscription link in your Mailing List Messages
