Hi folks!

I have just released a beta of 4.64.

Several minor features, and some bugfixes. It's been a relatively quiet 
month so far.

** Book News **
Please note that if you are east of the Atlantic, you can now get the 
MailScanner Book printed in the EU, with *much* lower shipping costs 
(and no import tax in the EU) than when you could only order it from the 
USA. You can get to the EU bookshop from the same advert in the top 
right corner of the www.mailscanner.info home page. Please also note 
that I updated the book this summer, so it is pretty well up to date. So 
if you have been holding off buying the book because of the price, you 
can buy it cheaper now!
(It is still also available from the USA just as before)

Download MailScanner as usual from www.mailscanner.info.

The full Change Log is this:

* New Features and Improvements *
1 The MailScanner book is now also available for purchase from the EU with
  much lower shipping costs. Go to www.lulu.com/mailscanner.
1 Solaris check_mailscanner code now uses pgrep.
1 "MailScanner -v" now lists version of Date::Parse which was missing.
1 Added "$datenumber" to the inline spam warning report.
1 "MailScanner --lint" now checks your %org-name% to ensure it only contains
  safe characters (i.e. a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and -).
1 Added "allow" rule to filename.rules.conf for the XML filenames inside
  Microsoft Office 2007 (e.g. *.docx) files which are actually archives.
1 F-Prot-6 autoupdater improved to tell you whether it actually downloaded
  a new virus signatures file or not.
1 Tar distro now includes ChangeLog.
1 "Treat Invalid Watermarks With No Sender as Spam" can now be set to a 
number
  greater than zero. This value will be added to the spam score.
1 Watermark spam header reports refer to them as "watermarks" and not
  "null headers" as that is easier to understand.

* Fixes *
1 Now set the umask of the directory into which the TNEF attachments are
  unpacked by the external TNEF expander. Thanks to derek at csolve.net.
1 Fixed bug which caused crash when using a ruleset on "Filename Rules" 
setting
  when the file listed in the ruleset does not exist. Thanks to Ugo 
Bellevance.
1 Added line to stop EOCD Format errors being output in UnpackZip. Thanks to
  Rick Cooper.
