Some bugfixes, that's all.  Probably nothing you'll notice.  Most of 
the changes had to do with supporting uuencode natively rather than 
requiring metamail.

Depending on the circumstances, you may need to re-run faxsetup after 
upgrading to 4.2.0 in order to get certain environment settings 
configured in setup.cache.  We tried to make it backwards-compatible, 
but apparently we've missed your situation.  How was your old faxrcvd 
doing attachments, with uuencode_it or with mimencode?
