Hi everyone!

I have just tagged alot v0.3.4; You can get a tarball here [0].
This minor version bump is mostly to flush out all the nice small features
I hacked together or received as pull request lately.

It comes with tons of ui tweaks, fixes and a very nice patch series
that allows to send PGP/MIME encrypted mails.

Not included, but here's a peek into alot's future for the curious:
I've been semi-busy, making alot's tree-widgets available for the wider
urwid audience [2] and am currently rewriting alot's thread buffers to make use of
this library [3]. This will make it easy™ to finally write a better mimeparser [4]
and display a messages MIME-tree as well as properly display nested encrypted/signed
mails..

More detailed usage updates since v0.3.3:
* extra: zsh completion file
* thread mode: add "tags" pseudo header to message display
* case insensitive matching in Addressbook completion
* compose: interpret "attach" pseudo header
* compose: set initial message tags
* envelope: completion for 'From'
* reply/forward: more flexible construction of "From" headers (hello plussing!)
* thread mode: added bounce command for direct redirection w/o an envelope buffer
* thread mode: more robust "pipeto" command
* add config option "prefer_plaintext"
* prevent multiple 'index locked' notifications
* kill some zombies! (#325)
* search mode: bulk tagging
* less annoying multi-key bindings
* add global "move" command for scriptable cursor movement
* support for encrypted outgoing mails using PGP/MIME

Thanks goes to those who contributed:
