  • CHANGE: For groups not set to reply to group, display the receiver's email address in the footer.
  • CHANGE: Do not permit group names that begin or end in dash.
  • BUGFIX: The display of groups in the 'Your Groups' dropdown could sometimes be wrong on the home page, based on how you were sorting that page.
  • BUGFIX: Use the subgroup direct add message for direct adds. Previously we were erroneously using the parent group direct add message and ignoring any subgroup direct add messages.
