All,

Replying to this thread using the web interface didn't seem to work
at all, so... Please excuse me effectively starting the thread over,
but wanted to make sure a follow-up got posted to the list. See:

This problem (and several others that were really needing to be
fixed) has been resolved and a new version of this plugin is available
at the link below. Obviously, it is highly recommended that anyone
using this plugin upgrade immediately.

Matias, next time please contact the plugin authors, any of the
SquirrelMail mailing lists, SquirrelMail IRC, or other SquirrelMail
developers before posting.

Thanks,

Paul
