version 3.0.3.6
- added the button above the address entry area to allow address
validation from Google. This will feed the address shown to Google
maps and return the result. Most significant issues are with postal
codes. Google currently only returns a 5 digit zip in the USA, and
only the first 3 on Canadian addresses. Apparently this is a licensing
issue with the postal carriers (go figure ....?).
- within the contact book, if a contact does not have a primary address
and they have a secondary address then the secondary address is displayed
for an address above the telephone numbers.
- clicking a link in the contacts to a geo mapping website (to get a map
from an address) now displays a map for the address (either primary of
secondary) that is displayed above the telephone numbers.

for Copying, Pasting and Swapping an entire address block with nifty new
icons in the upper right corner of the address block entry area.

time was spent on resolving this issue, but it's finally fixed)

changes that were made by Yahoo for their email after Sara Palin's email was hacked.
(another good example of why it's not a good idea to leave all your mail on a server)
