Short: Email client (SMTP/POP3) V1.2
Author: Jilles Tjoelker
Uploader: Menno Tjoelker <M.Tjoelker@nl.origin-it.com>
Version: 1.2
Type: comm/mail
Kurz: Email Programm (SMTP/POP3) V1.2
Status: shareware
Requires: AmiTCP/IP or Miami
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.
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"
