+(333) 06-Jun-05 L Re-think and re-implement header handling
+
+There are a number of items related to headers above. Better facilities for
+handling headers at ACL time are needed. The whole way in which Exim handles
+headers should be re-planned and re-implemented in a more consistent manner.
+
+These are the main previous items:
+
+Exim 3 Wish List: 41, 85, 149, 187.
+Exim 4 Wish List: 55, 62, 63, 160, 212, 237, 270, 314, 328.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(334) 07-Jun-05 M Support for messages larger than 2G
+
+This is probably a longish-term thing at the moment. Quotas over 2G are now
+supported, but not individual messages; no doubt one day this will be wanted.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(335) 14-Jun-05 T Re-arrange default configuration
+
+A small niggle which might be worth fixing is the ordering of the ACL in the
+default configuration file. The relay_from_hosts and authenticated clauses
+would be better off before the dnslists examples. However, this should be left
+until a x.x0 release, because of the documentation implications.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(336) 16-Jun-05 M Show recipient(s) after header check failure
+
+The mainlog line for "There is no valid sender in any header line" shows the
+sending host and the envelope sender, but does not show any recipients. There
+has been a request to show recipients. Presumably this should be on some new
+log selector, and it must have a cutoff maximum number of recipients. NOTE: the
+data in the reject log does show the envelope recipients as part of its
+additional data.
