Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

This update for claws-mail fixes the following issues :

- Additional cleanup of the template handling

claws-mail was updated to 3.17.8 (boo#1177967)

- updated English, French, and Spanish manuals

- Update to 3.17.7

- Image Viewer: Image attachments, when displayed, are now resized to fit the available width rather than the available height.
