CornHolio: It should cover most issues but unfortunately security issues come in forms other than scripting exploits. It might make sense to run the program inside a sandboxing tool.
v4.6.9.2
Or am I wrong?
v4.6.9.2
Yes, Checker, Ive seen that XSS issue, but disabling all scripting functions should take care of it.

@ CornHolio the Gringo: Have you seen the warning in the description above?
v4.6.9.2
Dream Mail "phones home". To stop Dream Mail from phoning home, one have to delete the file "DmLib.dat".
Another issue is to disable all the scripting, Ya have to choose "Full Version" option to get access to these settings.
- Options/general/read: Disable all cripting. (then the security issue is taken care of)
In My case, Dream Mail doesnt render UTF-8 correct, meaning My Nordic spesial characters dont display correctly.
Another thing is that Dream Mail does not have any settings for disabling "external HTML content" in mails.
Appart from that...Dream Mail are the best portable Mail-client out there.

I appears a serious vulnerability has been found in the latest version of DreamMail -- for info, see http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=66048#p66048 ... (due to comment engine limitations, you'll have to copy and paste the full URL).
v4.6.9.2
Here is the fix to change the Charset the UTF-8 so that recipients will not be asked to download Chinese Language Pack: http://forum.dreammail.eu/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=204
In Language\Language.ini, find [2]id=en
Change:
CharSetName=GB2312
Into:
CharSetName=UTF-8
v4.6.9.2
There is a DreamMail Europe Community which provides support for the English translation of DreamMail.

Hello! I was revisiting this application. It doesn't play well with multiple monitors. popup windows always show on the primary monitor, no matter which window the application is on...
V4.6.9.2
Sure, thats a good advice.
