- Short: Email client (SMTP/POP3) V1.3
- Author: Jilles Tjoelker
- Uploader: Menno Tjoelker <M.Tjoelker@nl.origin-it.com>
- Version: 1.3
- Type: comm/mail
- Kurz: Email Programm (SMTP/POP3) V1.3
- Status: shareware
- Requires: AmiTCP/IP or Miami, OS V37+ (V2.04), 1 MB free memory
-
- Have you ever found a mailer which has everything you want? I don't think
- so. This yet another attempt to create a mailer. I am not satisfied with
- the mailers which are present for Amiga. Some use MUI (I hate it!), some
- have the terrible tendency to crash often, some are shareware with much
- limitations (e.g. a time limit) and high prices, some are very slow, some
- have poor support for using the same POP account from office and home,
- and others are not strong in the feature department.
-
- Iris is a figure from Greek mythology. Besides, the word means "rainbow".
- Iris is a messager of the gods. She comes down as a rainbow. This program
- belongs in the divine company of Thor, Pegasus and Eudora, and therefore
- this name was chosen.
-
- Features:
-
- * You can double click on URLs to browse them.
- * You can double click on email addresses to mail to them.
- * It does not use MUI (but BGUI).
- * It is stable.
- * It supports Eudora's and Exchange's Priority and Return-Receipt header
- fields.
- * It has excellent filter capabilities.
- * Extensive use of multitasking.
- * Multiple signatures.
- * It has an ARexx interface.
- * Multiple signatures.
- * Multiple selection in message list.
-
- New in V1.3:
-
- * Changed "Mark unread" to "Mark...". It now works for all types of folders.
- The keyboard shortcut has not been changed.
- * Changed "Maximize window" to additionally put the window to the front, like
- KingCON does.
- * Multiselect in message list! The scripts 'MoveMsg.irx' and 'StoreMsg.irx'
- have been adapted in order to support multiselect.
- * The main window is now SmartRefresh. This speeds up refreshing and reduces
- the read/write byte 8 Enforcer hits caused by BGUI.
- * BUGFIX: Close gadget of registration form didn't work. This bug has been
- part of Iris since V1.0.
- * BUGFIX: There was some memory corruption when the signature file could not
- be read. (The part 'PROG' was overwritten with an address.)
- * BUGFIX: Multiple Compose processes do no longer interfere. (Temporary mail
- composition filename has process address appended.)
- * New ARexx commands 'LOCKGUI' and 'UNLOCKGUI' to block the GUI, so the user
- cannot select another message while a script is executing.
-
- New in V1.2b:
-
- * New scripts for user menu (MoveMsg.irx, StoreMsg.irx)
- * New button set for four colour screens (GT_Buttons)
- * Added version strings to all ARexx scripts
- * Improved DelFolder.irx script: it no longer asks you to delete no messages.
- * Improved IrisRMail.irx script: it can no longer cause "Please insert..."
- requesters.
- * Improved guide
-
- New in V1.2a: (NOT a changed program)
-
- * The V1.2 archive was completely wrong. All files in subdirectories were
- missing and the Installer script was an old version. This archive is correct.
- * Some more changes to the guide.
- * New button storage system, allowing easy changing of button sets. The
- 'Update' script takes care of the change for users of older versions.
- Old buttons will not be overwritten and will continue to be used.
-
- New in V1.2:
-
- * BUGFIX: sometimes the "headers" file got messed up by very long lines.
- * New menu option: Project/Maximize window to make the window as large as it
- can be.
- * BUGFIX: many Enforcer hits when opening config window removed. This
- could lead to hangs on some systems. The bug came in in V1.1.
- I can't fix the read/write byte $00000008 hits, however. These are caused
- by the BGUI listviewclass when it handles multi-column listviews.
- * BUGFIX: If you aborted the getting of mail when a message was transferred,
- a filehandle was closed twice (Software failure $8700000E). This bug has been
- part of Iris since V1.0.
- * When mail is received, the new "to go" line replaces the old instead of
- being added to the listview.
- * New ARexx script IrisRMail.irx added to the distribution that enables
- loading of messages received by SMTP daemon.
-
- New in V1.1:
-
- * MAJOR ADDITION: user menu.
- * New parameter "TO" for the READMESSAGE command. You can use this to move or
- copy messages more easily.
- * Implemented Reply to All function.
- * Removed some errors in the guide.
- * You can now create larger buttons by dividing them over two rows. Set the
- tooltype "USETWOROWS" in the "Check" button to enable this.
- * Added new text-only buttons (created by Karl Schon)
- * BUGFIX: when adding address book an entry to the address book, only one
- character was compared due to a stupid bug. This could cause unwanted
- replacement of old entries.
- * New e-mail address: Menno.Tjoelker@nl.origin-it.com. Until 2 June the old
- addresses will produce a correction message.
- * Added script "DelFolder.irx" to delete all messages in a folder.
- * Fixed script "Poll.irx"
