*********************************************************************
Briefing V0.992PublicBeta (only sent to registered users)
*********************************************************************
Changes from V0.991 to V0.992
First the bugs:
- Bug with CON: windows corrected (cause of many crashes)
- Double origin with origin corrected
- Wrong address with forward from echomailarea to netmailarea.
- Hits of the function "Archive as" removed.
- Areaname in AreaConfig larger then 22 char. couldn't be deleted.
- Move function in AreaConfig didn't work properly.
- Test Address of incomming mail is now optional, because it doesn't work
properly yet (?).
- And a lot of other things and hits I've forgotten to mention...
Now some new things:
- Some extra options in Tosser Configs:
'Force 1.3 (un)pack' - CON: windows will be openened on your WorkBench
(only for extracting & packing)
'Text EchoAddr In' - Will test your incomming mail with the node
given in your AreaConfig.
(Does not work properly yet)
'Show ExportWindow' - The small window in the center of your screen
while exporting will not appear if this option is
set.
- And in General Configs the option:
'Don't ask' - If this option is set, April won't ask you, for
example, if you're sure you want to delete x
number of messages. This counts also for some
other questions.
- Msg Info:
Traveled: Number of days this message traveled from the writer to your
MessageBase.
Overhead: Number of lines of this message which have nothing to do
with the message itself (like seenby's, kludges etc.)
Quotes: Percentage now found by comparing sizes, in stead of lines.
- The CON: window will stay open untill all packets have been
extracted/packed.
- Some extra codes included:
%area -> AreaName i.e. Amy_Point
%msgfile -> TextFile of msg i.e. T:April.MSGfile
%Naddr -> Addr of user i.e. 2:282/309.3
- All the codes used in April can also be used in the commands of the
External Menu, but they will only work when you're in ShowMsg.
- TAB-key goes to the lastread message of the lastread area.
- The registrated April Package contains also a printable version of the
'April Manual'.
Finally I have to point out somethinge else: if an unregistered April is
started, a (very annoying ;) requester will appear. You have to wait a few
seconds untill the requester activates (first then you are able to close
it). Also, if not registered, max. 3 items in external menu, no catchup,
and more things I've forgotten (you'll notice it;)
*********************************************************************
Briefing V0.991PublicBeta
*********************************************************************
New:
- catch up function. Make all msg in an area read.
- %codes now also work in External, but only in ShowMsg
- in FromTo window shift-CR in origin gives a random origin,
like shift-CR in to-field completes username from privuser
- Export has some output now.
- Checkname without points. Now if someone writes a msg to me
with name 'Nick de Jong' it is still recognised, even though
my UserName is 'Nick de.Jong'. Optional
- SkipNamesMenu. DoubleClick in AreaMenu goes to ShowMsg and
Special (LMB->RMB) goes to NamesMenu. If not SkipNamesMenu
that's the other way around.
Bugfixes:
- If not everything was filled in, in Language, the config
was not saved correct.
- No requester if area is empty/HDR not found.
- AutoLoadHDR sometimes crashed if AreaList was not up to date.
- PrivatNode & force INTL in AreaConfig now work properly
- +/- goto next/prev. area now looks at flags first
- An <april.msg>.old is created when a new <april.msg> is created by
Write, Reply, edit, etc.
- YoName is on line again in %from(f/l). That means if I reply on a
msg of my boss, Harry Westerman, and the YoName of him in PrivUser
is 'Boss', %fromf will be 'Boss'.
- Change interzone msgs a little, please write me if you want this to
be changed
- Copy in AreaConfigs now doesn't copy Net/Bad-mail flags.
- Move in AreaConfigs sometimes went backwards
- DoubleClick in AreaMenu now goes to msg in NamesMenu/ShowMsg as
selected in AreaMenuConfig
- If export-flag is set, it cannot be exported anymore.
- The @ maxsize in %codes now also works on nr%10, eg @10, @20, @30...
- No CloseLibrary() if TrapList.library cannot be opened ;)
- Several bugfixes in Import.
- Forward gives max one origin and nodenr is from to area
(was from area).
- ShowMsg shows subject correct if in BadMSG
- Edit (header) only possible if msg is from you.
