+ - Added two optional (and experimental) parameters to firma.conf:
+ USE_GPG_HIDDEN_RECIPIENT_OPTION and SEND_MESSAGES_USING_BCC. If
+ both are enabled, firma will use GnuPG's --hidden-recipient
+ option (available from version 1.4.0 onwards) and send list
+ messages to all subscribers at once, using BCC. This should
+ speed up message processing, specially on lists with several
+ subscribers.
