14 DAY TRIAL // One month after having announced the release of Thunderbird 38.0.1, last week Mozilla provided us with a new maintenance release of one of the best open-source and cross-platform email clients for GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows operating systems.
Mozilla Thunderbird 38.1 is here to fix five issues that have been reported by users since the previous release of the software. According to the attached changelog, copying and pasting text into the plain text editor no longer deletes new lines from the quoted text, and it is now possible to send emails through an exchange server (NTLM).
Additionally, Mozilla Thunderbird 38.1 now correctly displays GB2312 encoded texts for Chinese characters, and fixes the OAuth2 authentication for GMail introduced in the Mozilla Thunderbird 38.0.1 version, which didn't work properly when the GMail server was specified in the application as "smtp.gmail.com" or "imap.gmail.com."
Lastly, it is now possible to send cross-posts when Newsgroups: groups are being separated with a comma and a space, not just a comma. Download Mozilla Thunderbird 38.1.0 for Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows right now from Softpedia or directly from the project's website.
