+Subject: restore the ability to send normal messages
+Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/710285
+Last-Modified: 2013-05-29
+
+The lenny package could send these messages and version 1.20-1 dropped this
+functionality. Normal messages are like headline messages except they are not
+discarded when the contact is unavailable but queued instead.
