-documentation fixes regarding installation. Thanks: Emily Jackson.
-do environment variable expansion in paths and arguments (before
substitutions like %(sender), etc) in addition to expanding leading
~/ or ~user/ . Thanks: Paul.

on a few Linux systems (perhaps the ones where the kernel changed
fork() behaviour to run the child first?) Reported by Paul.

8 July 2004

-flesh out the getmailrc-examples file (note that it's been renamed from
getmailrc-example)
-clean up message attributes. Make Message() class. Move flatten_msg()
out of utilities and make it into a Message method. Remove header-length
checking when generating flattened representation of message. Change
callers to use the new class.
-move SENDER check from deliver_maildir() to getmail_maildir where it
belongs.
-update the miscellaneous documentation files
-last alpha, I think
