Here are some key features of "Mews":
· Offline reader: No internet connection is required while articles are read

· User interface adheres to established standards
· Looks and feels mostly like a built-in application
· All colors are drawn from the currently active theme
· Fully supports attachments: Offers & opens any file type your device is capable of opening, including the ones that are handled through 3rd party programs like e.g. pdf
· Fully supports all character sets present on your device, so a e.g. UK English device can correctly display articles in almost any European language
· Fully supports devices with VGA resolution screen and square screens
· Works with multiple servers
· Allows to minimize possibly expensive traffic through header-only downloads. The user can then download only the interesting article bodies

New Features:
· Quoted text is now shown with quote bars. This allows for improved readability and much better line wrapping.

However, all paragraphs are automatically rewrapped when the message is sent such that your message is displayed pleasantly no matter whether it is read in a client that understands format=flowed or not.
· Quote the original message when following up
