Changes:

Updated Junk Mail Algorithm Improvements. Fixes several math errors in the new algorithm that were in previous test builds. . It is now producing the same message scores as spam bayes when both are fed the same input tokens so we believe the algorithm is now calculating scores correctly. Further tuning/gains will come from improving the tokenizer. **Please keep in mind, if you start using this build and training with it, then you go back to a nightly or an old build that does not have this patch in it, you will get mixed results with the performance of the filter** (This code is present in Win32 hand made bits from me only)

To get the best benefit from the new junk filter, I highly recommend you retrain, clearing out your training file. To that end, I have added UI in the junk controls / adaptive filter dialog to make it easy to reset your training data. You can use this instead of deleting training.dat by hand. Verbage in this dialog for this option will hopefully be improved.

Fixed some serious accounting issues when a user deletes training.dat and retrains against messages that have already been classified which would lead to extremely poor performance for the junk controls.

Many improvements and bug fixes for Thunderbird's support of the IDLE command for IMAP. (Thanks David!)

We now have a new set of emoticons (smileys) thanks to the pinstripe authors for donating these to us.

If we fail to copy your sent message to your sent folder, we now bring up a dialog asking you if you would like us to try again. This happens a lot if the connection to the sent folder has timed out.

F8 can now be used to toggle the message pane open and closed

Regression fix: we no longer have the grey line underneath the menu bar

Regression fix: the options and send progress dialogs are now coming up with the proper width and not getting truncated like they were in the 3/5 build

Regression fix: changing the priority on an outgoing message no longer effects the priority of the next message you try to send.

Honor the general.useragent.override pref if someone sets it.

Better support for user custom sounds for new mail notifications in the Options / General Settings dialog.

Automated OSX nightlies are now getting pushed to the latest-trunk dir

Automated Linux nightlies should be coming online soon.
