--------------------------
NEW FEATURES AND CHANGES
--------------------------
Listed below are all the new features, changes, and bug
fixes since version 3.0, all of which are included in
this upgrade. 3.0.4 isn't mentioned in this list, as
there is no Eudora Pro 3.0.4 for Windows.
-----------------------------------
NEW FEATURES AND CHANGES IN 3.0.5
-----------------------------------
Auto-configuration (32-bit only)
--------------------------------
Auto-configuration support, using the Internet standard
Application Configuration Access Protocol (ACAP), has
been added to Eudora. ACAP is a client/server protocol
which allows Eudora to retrieve configuration settings
from a central server. These settings include the ones
that must be set up in order for you to start sending and
receiving e-mail, such as the name of your POP account and
SMTP host. This saves you from having to enter all of that
information yourself.
In order for you to use auto-configuration, your system
administrator or service provider must have set up a central
server with your personal settings. You can then download
those settings whenever you like; typically you would do
so only when first starting to use Eudora, but you can do
so at any later time if you want to restore your settings to
their original values.
To download your settings, open the Options dialog under
the Tools menu and click on the Auto-Configure icon. Fill
in the Server Name, User Name, and Password fields; your
system administrator or service provider should have told
you what to enter in these fields. Clicking on the Retrieve
Settings Now button will cause your settings to be downloaded
from the ACAP server.
The following ACAP-related information should be of use
primarily to system administrators and/or service providers.
If the switch UseACAPServer=1 is present in Eudora.ini,
then when Eudora is first launched (actually any time Eudora
is launched without a POP account having been specified),
the Auto-Configure panel of the Options dialog comes up. In
the absence of that switch, the Options dialog's Getting
Started panel would come up instead.
The name of the ACAP server can be specified in Eudora.ini,
so that the user doesn't have to type it in, by inserting a
switch of the form ACAPServer=servername (replacing "servername"
by the actual name, of course). Similarly, a switch of the form
ACAPUserID=username can be used to specify the user name to be
passed to the ACAP server.
The port ID used in communicating with the ACAP server can be
specified in Eudora.ini by inserting a switch of the form
ACAPPort=portnumber. The default is port 674.
You can obtain detailed information on setting up an ACAP server
to support Eudora clients on the Eudora web site. Go to
http://www.eudora.com/techsupport, click on the "Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQ)" link, and then click on the "Automatic
Initial Configuration with ACAP" link.
The upcoming version 2.0 release of the Eudora WorldMail server
will support auto-configuration of Eudora clients.
Authentication style and personalities
--------------------------------------
Authentication style has been added to the set of information
that goes with a personality.
RPA authentication (16-bit)
---------------------------
RPA has been added as an authentication style; this shows up in
the Checking Mail panel of the Options dialog under the Tools menu.
Checking this authentication style allows you to download messages
from a CompuServe POP3 server. This feature has been available in
in the 32-bit version of Eudora starting with version 3.0.3.
Pre-configuring the POP server
------------------------------
System administrators can now pre-configure Eudora by putting the
POP server name in Eudora.ini, so that the user only needs to add
his or her account name.
If the POPAccount switch in Eudora.ini is of the form
POPAccount=domainname or POPAccount=@domainname, then when Eudora
is launched it will bring up the Getting Started panel of the
Options dialog, and the POP account field will show whatever domain
name is in the POPAccount switch. (Formerly, entering anything
after POPAccount= in Eudora.ini would stop Getting Started from
coming up automatically.)
For example, suppose Eudora.ini says POPAccount=@xyz.qualcomm.com.
When the user starts Eudora, Getting Started will automatically
display, with @xyz.qualcomm.com in the POP account field, so that
the user just needs to insert his or her account name at the start
of that string.
Enhanced third-party developer support
--------------------------------------
Eudora plug-ins that run in the on-arrival context now operate on
all messages, not just ones that are MIME formatted. See the web
page <http://www.eudora.com/developers/emsapi/emswhat.html> for more
information on Eudora plug-in development.
Note for PGP 5.0 users (Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 only)
-----------------------------------------------------------
The original PGP 5.0 is not compatible with Eudora Pro 3.0.5. If
you previously installed PGP 5.0 and wish to continue using it with
Eudora Pro 3.0.5, you need to install an updated version of PGP
5.0. If you're in the U.S. or Canada, you can download a Eudora
Pro 3.0.5 updater with the new PGP 5.0 from the Eudora web site
(http://www.eudora.com).
--------------------
BUG FIXES IN 3.0.5
--------------------
* Very long names no longer cause a crash in directory
services.
* Now, when you set a filter to Print and no printer is
connected, a divide error no longer occurs.
* When you use the Print Range option, Eudora no longer
prints blank pages.
* When you change the POP account, Eudora now asks you
for a new password.
* The "Set a changed message back to read only" switch in
the Extra Warnings section of the Options dialog is
now working.
* After you attach a document, you can now press the <tab>
key to move the cursor from the Attached field to the body
of the message.
* Excerpt bars now completely disappear when you click the
clear formatting button.
* Misspelled words are now always highlighted on the screen.
* The spell checker no longer misses words that are preceded or
followed by a tab character.
* Switching from Eudora to another application and back while the
cursor is in the Eudora address book no longer causes Eudora to
stop responding.
* The address book now remembers the View By selection, instead of
always reverting to View By Nickname when you close and re-open
the address book.
* When you read a message that contains a null character, you no
longer see only the text that precedes the null.
-----------------------------------
NEW FEATURES AND CHANGES IN 3.0.3
-----------------------------------
* In the Checking Mail dialog box (Tools, Options), an
additional Authentication style, RPA (Remote Passphrase
Authentication), has been added. This allows you to get
your messages if they're on a server that requires
authentication via RPA, such as a CompuServe POP server.
Before you can use the RPA authentication style, you'll need
to obtain a support module for RSA from your service provider.
For example, for CompuServe you'll need the Virtual Key
software, which can be downloaded from this Web site:
<http://www.compuserve.com/rpa/browser.htm>.
* A new pre-registration dialog box appears before the
registration dialog box appears if you have not yet
registered your Eudora software.
* A Return Address field has been added to the Getting Started
panel of the Options dialog box. Return Address is still in
the Personal Info, Sending Mail, and Personalities panels of
the Options dialog box.
* A new Using Context Sensitive Help dialog box is displayed the
first time you launch Eudora (or when the Eudora.ini file does
not exist). This dialog box contains tips on using context-
sensitive help in Eudora. You can read the same information at
any time via Using Context Sensitive Help under the Help menu.
* A new switch, WordWrapOnScreen, has been added to the [Settings]
category in the Eudora.ini file. When word wrapping is enabled and when
WordWrapOnScreen is set to 1, lines wrap in the composition window
at the same positions as when the message is sent. (Otherwise, the
width of the composition window determines where the lines appear
to wrap.)
This can occur only if you and your recipient's composition window
is wide enough on both screens for the column width specified, and
that you use a fixed-width font, such as Courier, to compose the message.
To define the columns, the switch WordWrapOnScreen must be
manually added to the Eudora.ini file and set to 1 (WordWrapOnScreen=1),
and WordWrapColumn must be set to the column number you wish
the text to wrap (WordWrapColumn=70 for 70 columns).
-----------------------------------
NEW FEATURES AND CHANGES IN 3.0.2
-----------------------------------
Dragging the dump truck icon onto a folder icon in the mailbox list
now causes the folder to open automatically.
--------------------
BUG FIXES IN 3.0.2
--------------------
* X-attachment headers are now printing.
* In the Mailbox menu, a folder name is no longer
replaced by "Attach" or "Attach to New Message."
* Data is no longer lost from large (62Kb or larger)
message files sent via the command line.
* The Extended CheckOwnerFreq now includes a
startup code for Eudora to check for remote
instances.
* Plug-in queued properties are no longer ignored.
* Eudora no longer crashes when a single message is
translated multiple times in non-displayed context.
* .MSG files having X-Attachment headers now honor
the IDS_INI_TEXT_AS_DOC flag thus controlling
text attachments included in the message body or sent
as an attached file.
* Handling of messages containing null characters has
been fixed.
* Eudora can now send messages with attachments
via the command line.
* There is no longer a plug-in-related assertion failure.
* Data is no longer lost from messages with null
characters in the body.
* Attacher plug-ins are now working if the attachment
directory had been changed from the default.
--------------------
BUG FIXES IN 3.0.1
--------------------
* When you run the Make Address Book Entry
command while the PH window is the active
window, Eudora now displays a suggested
nickname in the New Nickname dialog box.
* Previous 32-bit versions of Eudora 3.X would
always crash when using 32-bit Trumpet 3.0 unless
you enabled both "use asynch calls" settings in
Miscellaneous functions in Options from the Tools
Menu. Eudora will now detect the use of blocking
calls with the 32-bit Trumpet stack and protect
against the crash.
* Eudora now correctly handles mailto URLs with
body keywords
* MAPIReadMail now returns attachments.
* MAPIReadMail now returns the proper status flags.
* With an 8-bit character in the header, Eudora
is now putting a space between the colon in the
header name and the header content.

working correctly.
* No error is generated when forwarding carbon
copy (Fcc).
* Now, when receiving mail on a disk with no available
space, Eudora no longer causes mail to be lost.
* Eudora now hides the URL for HTML links.
* When using the MS Internet Explorer, and when you
configure Eudora Pro as the mail application, click on
the mailto URL that contains a space character, and
Eudora no longer will truncate the URL at the first space.
* The Eudora Address book now supports drag and drop
between nickname files.
* If you run the Copy function from the Edit menu on a
TOC window selection that has hidden columns, the
resulting clipboard data no longer includes data from
the hidden columns.
* Eudora no longer leaks screen resources (the 16-bit
version would hang the system after enough restarts).
* Eudora no longer GPFs on exit (32-bit version).
* Attachment converted lines within Rich Text excerpts
no longer get iconized.
* Tab order in Change Queuing dialog is now logical.
* Adding a nickname to a folder that has been "opened"
now displays correctly.
* The F2 key now maps to Rename in mailboxes and
nicknames tree control.
* The 16-bit address book now auto-wraps text.
* Alt-key shortcuts for the header in a composition
window now works.
* Eudora MAPI DLLs now version checks with the Eudora
executable.
* MAPIResolveName now returns the resolved
address in the lpszAddress field.
* Sending a large message (30kb) via MAPI from a
16-bit client no longer crashes the MAPI DLL.
* Eudora now handles "to," "cc," "bcc," and
"subject" parameters in mailto URLs.

* Eudora can now open or search a TOC file that
contains corrupted indices.
* Eudora can now copy more than 32kb from a
TOC to the clipboard (16-bit version only).
* Eudora can now use simple MAPI calls to scan
an Inbox containing messages larger than 32Kb,
can open an address book containing more than
32Kb of nicknames, or expand a nickname into
an address list greater than 32Kb (16-bit version
only).
* 16-bit MAPI client applications such as MS Word
can now use the 16-bit Eudora MAPI DLLs on
messages greater than 32Kb.
* There is no longer a toolbar conflict when running
32-bit Eudora Light on a EUDORA.INI file written
by 32-bit Eudora Pro.
* If "Automatically expand nicknames" is selected,
and a message is created as a personality, the
dominant's default domain is no longer used when
tabbing out of header fields; rather the personality's
default domain is now used.
