-
- - External download is added. You configure your plugin download/ftp
- client via Options->Settings->FTP/News and then click on a link.
- A window will pop up asking you if you wish to use the internal or
- the external download.

- settings from WebExplorer. You may also edit your news mail signature
- file via the Options->Edit News/Mail signature file menu item.
-
- - The File->Open Document (URL) menu item is back on requests from many
- users. It was there during the beta but was removed in 1.0.
