- I found version 2.7 in the uploads directory of the CICA mirror at monash
- university. I presume that it will still be in the uploads directory at CICA.

- However, if you use POPmail you probably should consider sticking with v2.6.
-
- The mailer has been redesigned and is potentially much better. However, it
- has one serious flaw.
-
- The 2.7 mailer hangs if the file you are mailing does not end with a CR,
- i.e if you don't press <RETURN> after the last line of your message.
-
- It is easy to forget and if you forget, you have to reboot your PC and
- kill the Pop3 daemon on your mail host in order to recover.
-
- They have fixed the problem with terminal type when telnetting to a VAX.
- It now uses VT220 if you specify it.
-
- Pity, the keyboard mapping bug has not been fixed. You can assign a 40 char
- string to a key, and all the chars are saved in the mapping file.
- However, the next time you start QVTNET, only 20 chars are read from the
- mapping file, thus stuffing the key mapping.
-
- Note 62. in the release notes indicates that the size limit is 40 chars.
- Surely a simple bug to fix.
