AEMAIL143 - Release 1.43 of AEMAIL
January 15, 1998
AEMail is copyright (c) 1996-98 by John F. Zacharias, all rights reserved.
Permission is given to Beta Testers to test and evaluate the program in
return for feedback on the use of the program and reporting of any bugs
encountered.
This archive (or diskette) has the following files, including this Readme
file (and it's icon), and 2 directories:
AEMAIL.Readme
AEMAIL.Readme.info
Installer
Install.txt
Install.txt.info
Install_AEMail
Install_AEMail.info
files.lha when expanded after the install contains:
AEMail, the AEMail executable
AEMail.inf, a file used to create the AEMail.info icon file
AEMail.doc
AEMail.doc.info
AEMail.guide
AEMail.guide.info
email.txt
email.txt.info
mailcap
startnet.miami
stopnet.miami
registration.form
The directories are C, which contains the display program "more" and "lhex"
for expanding the files.lha, and S, which contains a script, AEMced.scr,
for calling the CygnusED editor. The "AEMced.scr" script is no longer
needed but is left in to show how a script can be used to call an editor.
In addition, if you received a registered diskette version, a program
called AEMR is included. This program is used by the installation script
to upgrade the un-registered version to a registered version. If you
already have a registered version, your new version will be automatically
upgraded to a registered version without the AEMR program.
This is Version 1.43 of AEMail (Amiga EMail), an InterNet Mail User Agent
(Client), which can be used on an Amiga to retrieve mail from, and send
mail to, a POP3 server. It requires a TCP/IP stack compatible with AmiTCP
and AmigaDos 2.1 or later. AEMail has been tested with AmiTCP, TermiteTCP,
and Miami.
AEMail can also be used as a "MailTo" agent in WWW browsers, such as
IBrowse, Voyager and AWeb, which allow the user to specify such an agent
for composing and sending email. You can also call AEMail with an already
composed message from another program and queue or send the message.
Version 1.43 corrects a number of bugs found with Version 1.40 as well as
adding several new features. These features include:
o The ability to filter messages with any heady OR the body of the
message (Registered Users Only).
o The ability to filter on the entire list of To: or cc: recipients
o The ability to include the other To: and cc: recipients when replying
to a message.
A complete list of new features, changes and the bugs corrected with
version 1.43 is given at the end of the AEMail.readme file and also in the
AEMail.guide file.
This version of AEMail provides certain features only to registered users
(those paying the shareware fee). These features (not available to
unregisterd users) are:
Ability to use multiple signature files.
Ability to add user defined headers to a message.
Ability to shrink or expand group entries in Address Book displays.
Enhanced speed on message displays.
Password protection for separate configurations.
Filtering messages on "Other Message Hdrs".
Filtering messages on the content of the message body.
For those of you that have used AEMail 1.15, you will notice that for
UN-REGISTERED users, the display speed for messages will return to what it
was prior to release 1.15.
AEMail is now shareware with a registration fee of $30 (US dollars). Read
the details of this in the AEMail.Readme file or the AEMail.guide file.
There is a very convenient Install script (Install_AEMail) for installing
(and configuring) AEMail. It uses Amiga Technologies Installer program
which is included with the archive. Please read the "Install.txt" file
before attempting to install AEMail.
If you are updating from a version of AEMail prior to 1.10 you should use
the "Expert" level of the Install script in order to locate where you
previously located AEMail. Releases after 1.10 will be able to determine
where AEMail has been placed if you use the Install_AEMail script to
install both the prior version AND this version.
Besides the AEMail.Readme file, two documentation files have been provided:
AEMail.doc and AEMail.guide. The AEMail.doc is a flat ASCII file that is
designed to create a printout of the documentation. Except for form feeds,
NO FORMATTING COMMANDS ARE EMBEDDED IN THIS FILE so you need a file
printing program to print it out.
AEMail.guide, on the otherhand, is an AmigaGuide file. It's icon calls
MultiView; however, after the install operation the icon's default tool
will be changed to AmigaGuide if you are running under AmigaDos 2.1.
Also included is a special file called email.txt which is a generally
discussion about email. Beginning users who are not knowledgable as to how
email works or are unfamiliar with some of the terminology should read this
file. It will be found in the documentation drawer after the install.
