23/4/06

• Added ‘Send log to support’ option to vgsmail client. This will email a copy of the visible log to ppcbugs@vgsmail.com; it does not send a full log and so is only of use when initially diagnosing problems and a full log (using the ‘start detailed log’ option) will often still be necessary. No personal details are passed in this bug report except your email address.
• Added extra visible logging entries to diagnose socket disconnection problems.
• Fixed code-page support which was case-sensitive when determining the encoding standard.
• Outgoing email bug fixed under specific circumstances.
• Reported message size corrected for BASE64 encoded attachments.
• Transport fix for buggy WM2003SE devices with attachment problems.

• Fix for time-out during sending of large messages.

• Idle timeout changed from 20 minutes to 5 minutes. This should make the system reconnect faster after a dropped connection, although it might have a small impact on battery life and data usage whilst idle.
