mboxShell v1.2.0

HTML exports now show the images a message embeds. This release also carries everything from v1.1.0, which was out for only a few minutes.

What's new

  • Feature: inline images are embedded in HTML exports (#49). Every <img src="cid:…"> is replaced with the matching part of the message as a data: URI, so logos and pictures show up with no file next to the page and nothing is fetched. Only PNG, JPEG, GIF and WebP are embedded, recognised by their first bytes rather than by the declared type; an SVG is never embedded. On by default; --no-inline-images leaves them out.
  • Fix: an unknown theme in the config file now gets a warning, like any other invalid value, and the warning is translated.

From v1.1.0

  • The search syntax is now in the app (#48): the help (?) lists every operator, F1 opens it at that section (also from the search bar), and search --help / export --help end with the same list.
  • Security: ammonia 4.2.4, which sanitizes HTML exports, for RUSTSEC-2026-0373, RUSTSEC-2021-0157 and RUSTSEC-2021-0158. v1.0.0 and earlier are affected.
