- SAVEMAIL HISTORY & UPGRADING INSTRUCTIONS
- ------------------
- v 1.00 * first public release
- v 1.10 * "internationalized" version, should work with any language
- of the Psion S5 and MsgSuite 1.52
- v 1.11 * fixed a bug when the date format was 12 hours am/pm
- v 1.12 * fixed a bug that caused the date string to be copied into the
- title when the subject was particularly long
- v 1.13 * fixed a bug that sometimes prevented the "from" field from
- being copied; no more "display switching" between Email and
- the Data file during the copy & paste procedures (saves time and
- batteries...)
- v 1.20 * all the message fields are now copied in one single step, then
- pasted all together to the Data file (saves time);
- * rewritten the date format procedure (now much faster);
- * to prevent a "compressing file to save memory" routine from
- interfering with the correct timing of the macro, the Data file is
- now always opened at the beginning of SaveMail
- v 1.21 * CC and BCC fields, if present in the original MsgSuite message,
- are simply ignored and no more pasted to the wrong place (the title
- field) of the MailBox Data file
- v 2.00 * CC and BCC fields, if present, are now correctly stored to a new
- field (CC/BCC) in the Mailbox Data file; see UPGRADING below
- * fixed a bug that made the macro crash when trying to copy a field
- (other than body) with more than 250 characters; see KNOWN ISSUES
- v 2.10 * no more headaches while struggling with the opl code to adapt it
- to your folders, CF cards etc. and re-translating the whole! Now the
- macro is supplied in a ready-to-go SaveMail.opo file and a complete
- setup process will guide you the first time you launch SaveMail;
- * added the option of using multiple Data files to store different
- kinds of messages (see UPGRADING below);
- * added the option of automatically archiving a group of messages
- and deleting them from Email, if necessary;
- * now SaveMail detects your DATE FORMAT from the System settings
- and works correctly according to them (no more problems for the
- American MM/DD/YYYY format!).
- v 2.11 * added the option to create a NEW Data file from within the macro;
- * the SaveMail.ini file (which contains your setup details) is now
- stored to the "C:\System\" folder to prevent a "Syntax error" if any
- "illegal" character (e.g. space) is contained in the path of the
- macros folder (if you want to keep the .ini file saved with v2.10,
- simply move it from your macros folder to the new location, otherwise
- delete it);
- * now fully compatible with Geofox machines (no need to modify the
- code and retranslate, just use the supplied SaveMail.opo file);
- * added a report window after a successful archiving of more messages;
- * now SaveMail, if run as a standalone app, doesn't crash but informs
- the user that it has to be launched through Macro5.
- v 2.12 * due to an oversight on my side, all the "preformatted" Data
- files shipped with the previous releases of SaveMail had the FIND
- facility disabled; the new SaveMail.box of this release fixes the
- problem, but if you have previous Data files, simply open them,
- choose Menu/Tools/Find by label... and tick all the labels you want
- to include in your search (the more labels you select, the slower
- will be the search, especially with big Data files);
- * added a progress report after each message of a group is successfully
- stored (e.g. "Message 2 of 8 stored");
- * minor changes to some dialog windows.
- v 2.20 * fixed a bug that made the macro crash when archiving messages
- with an empty "TO" field (e.g. the Psion.life mailing list from Psion)
- * now the SaveMail Setup may be relaunched from within the macro,
- in the target data file window (if enabled).
- v 2.30 * easier setup: now SaveMail automatically detects the version of
- Macro5 you have installed on your machine;
- * rewritten the procedure to test if SaveMail is launched as a macro;
- * added a warning window when the "auto-delete" option is selected;
- * now works on the 5mx, with some limitations;
- v 2.40 * added the option of storing the messages to a "plain" Word file;
- * added an icon (SaveMail.ico) for the graphic panels of Macro5 v2.40;
- * in the setup procedure, added the option of changing the "Yes button
- keystroke" of the Email app if SaveMail fails to detect the right one
- (may happen if the language of your S5 differs from the one of Email)
- v 2.41 * for 5mx users only: solved a problem due to the Email program
- which deletes the From field from any stored "Sent" message (moved
- from the "Sent" folder to any other user-defined folder)
- * should work with any language of the 5mx and 5mx-pro (feedback is
- welcome, as I can only work on the Epoc R5 PC Emulator...)
- v 2.42 * for 5mx users only: now the macro lets you specify a Date and Time
- which will be put in the Time field of any stored message
- * for 5mx users only: the "auto-delete" option has been re-enabled, as
- the above option allows you a better handling of each message
- v 2.50 * from this version onwards there are two different macros for Epoc
- Release 3 (Psion S5 and Geofox) and Release 5 (Psion S5mx etc.)
- * Macro5 v2.37 is no more supported, so check if v2.40 is installed
- * solved the problem with the dates: by using the "Reply to" option, the
- macro can get the right time and date of a message; doesn't work with
- Sent messages moved from the original Sent folder, which are given
- the time and date of the storing process, marked with (*) - see below
- * no more crashes when the macro finds a FAX: now such messages
- are simply ignored (SaveMail can't deal with them) and never deleted
- * found a better way to get the "Yes button keystroke": no more need
- to ask for it in the Setup procedure
- v 2.51 * easier setup: no need to specify the System shortcuts, now the
- procedure simply suggests a choice of machines/languages
- * fixed some problems with the German 5mx-pro (Find window in
- Email not working and AdjustDate routine fooled by month names
- in English instead of German...)
- * by using the "Reply to" option, the storing of a message to a Psion
- Word file is accomplished in one single step (much faster)
- * improved the handling of messages stored to a Psion Word file: the
- wbox extension has been eliminated, so any Word file can be selected
- as a target file; now the cursor is always left at the beginning of the
- file when the storing procedure ends; if you select an existing Word
- file, now the macro opens it in background (faster)
- v 2.60 * now the macro correctly handles any attachments it finds, puts their
- names to the target file and copies them to a user defined folder
- * for the above new functionality, the MailBox Data files have a new
- field to store the attachment(s) name (and path); Data files from
- any previous release have to be manually updated to be used with v2.60,
- see below the UPGRADING notes!
- * CC and BCC fields, if present, now are correctly identified and copied
- to the appropriate field in the target file
- * added an option to automatically close the target file at the end of
- the storing procedure
- v 2.61 * now works with the Italian 5mx
- * fixed a bug that made the macro crash when opening big Data files
- v 2.62 * added the option to filter attachments: now you can select up to 4
- default names of attachments that will be always filtered by the macro,
- and so won't be saved to disk (e.g. "attachment" or "winmail.dat)
- * added the option to modify the macro speed (by increasing or decreasing
- the "Pause value" in the setup) in order to adapt it to different processor
- clock and different media support (Data files and Email messages stored
- to RAM are much more faster to be opened than the ones stored to a CF Card
- or to an IBM Microdrive)
- * fixed a bug that prevented the macro from storing the correct date if the
- date field was broken into two lines (e.g. using large fonts in Email)
- v 3.00 * SaveMail has become a "real" program (but still uses Macro5 libraries)!
- Easier installation through a standard sis file: now you can launch it
- via the Extras bar, or use it as usual via a Macro5 shortcut
- * added a "right" keystroke to move to the messages window in Email if
- you forget the cursor in the folders window
- * added the support to the German Ericsson MC218
- * fixed a bug when opening the Data target file for the first time
- v 3.10 * changed the way messages with truncated fields (To/CC/BCC & Attachment(s)
- exceeding the 250 char limit) are treated: now a (*) mark is put in their
- subject field, and the storing procedure is no more halted; the final
- report will notify the total number of messages with the above problem
- * fixed minor "timing" bugs
- * fixed a bug when dealing with multiline CC/BCC fields
- * fixed a bug when dealing with messages with many attachments
- v 3.11 * fixed a bug when the From field was also copied to the CC & BCC fields
- * fixed a bug with the Italian S5mx ("String too long" error)
- * cosmetic changes to some windows
- * now SaveMail windows float over the Email application, letting you
- see the messages headers to work with
- * now SaveMail has its own Help file, accessible from within the program
- * rewritten the code to make use of external rsc files for each
- language: English & Italian now available
- v 3.12 * added support to the Italian Revo(Plus), having different shortcuts
- from the Italian 5mx (!?!)
- * fixed a bug when the list of the Attachments was longer than 255 chars
- * solved the problem with From and CC/BCC fields exceeding the 255 chars
- limit: now they are correctly stored and never truncated
- * for the above reason, the MailBox Data file structure has been slightly
- changed: now the From field has become a "memo" field; see UPGRADING below
- * the procedure for copying the messages from Email has been modified and
- made a little faster
-
- UPGRADING to v3.12 (from v2.60 and later)
- ------------------
- From v3.12 the MailBox Data file structure has changed, as the "To" field and
- the "Attachment(s)" one are "memo" fields and no more "text" fields (limited to
- 250 characters): if you create a new target Data file from the program itself,
- the file will be of the new type; if you want to update any previous Data file
- to the new structure (only if you suppose to have to deal with messages with the
- "To" field exceeding the 250 char limit), just follow the instructions below:
-
- * create a new MailBox Data file from within SaveMail and leave it empty
- * open this new Mailbox file
- * select Menu/File/More/Merge in...
- * select the old MailBox file you want to update
- * press OK and it will be completely copied into the new one
-
- UPGRADING from v2.51
- ------------------
- From v2.60 the MailBox Data file structure has changed, to make place to
- the new Attachment(s) field: if you create a new target Data file from
- the macro itself, this file will be of the new type; if you want to update
- any previous Data file to the new structure (essential if you want to continue
- using them with v2.60), just follow the instructions below:
-
- - open your old MailBox Data file
- - select Menu/Tools/Change labels...
- - select ADD...
- - in the "label" field write: Attachment(s)
- - in the "data type" select: TEXT
- - put 250 in the No. characters field
- - choose OK two times
- - select Menu/Tools/Label preferences...
- - with the down arrow highlight Attachment(s)
- - choose the "Move Up" button
- - now you should have the Attachment(s) label positioned above the Body one
- - choose OK
-
- UPGRADING from v2.00 to v2.10
- ------------------
- If you already have a MailBox Data file from v2.00, simply RENAME it
- in order to add the ".box" EXTENSION (e.g. in system screen highlight the
- MailBox file, select Menu/File/Rename and change the name to Mail.box)
-
- UPGRADING from v1.xx to v2.00
- ------------------
- The new Mail.box Data file you find in the savemail.zip file has been
- modified to make place for the CC/BCC field; if you already have a
- MailBox Data file from previous versions of SaveMail, you have to
- modify it in order to create this new field:
- * open your old MailBox Data file
- * select Menu/Tools/Change labels...
- * select ADD...
- * in the "label" field write: CC/BCC
- * in the "data type" select: MEMO
- * choose OK two times
- * select Menu/Tools/Label preferences...
- * with the down arrow highlight CC/BCC
- * choose the "Move Up" button
- * now you should have the CC/BCC label positioned between TO and Body
- * choose OK
- * now your Data file is upgraded to SaveMail v2.xx
