What's new
in version 1.3
fixed a bug with offline operation that prevented the user from
entering the name of an alternate BBS.
fixed a number of small bugs with on line operation.
Starting with this release the source code will be distributed. The
registration fee with be $15.00.
If you have already registered gMail, no update fee is required.
in version 1.2
NetID usage: You can now specify the mail door command in the NetID
variable of the Phonebook's Setup.Session screen instead of
specifying it on the command line.
If NETID is blank it is ignored. If it is not blank, the
contents of NetID will be sent to the host as the command
to open the mail door.
MailReplies: If you specify Mail and Replies, gMail will now look
a reply packet FIRST; and if it exists send it before
processing new messages. The consequence of this is that
if you send replies immediately after downloading a packet,
and you have the door configured to download your own
messages, it may well be that gMail will send your replies
and then download the new messages consisting only of those
replies.
This makes it more important that you specify Replies Only
if you are reconnecting to your board *before* the next
network mail transfer.
ESC key cancels -- this is new and experimental, and not always
immediate, but there are now two places where you should
be able to cancel gMail entirely: 1) during the logon
sequence (after name and password are sent, but before
door command is sent), and 2) during a mail scan.
Reader command line - The default Reader is WINQWK.EXE. Version
1.2 of WINQWK now accepts a command line. (I'm not sure if
DOS Readers do the same). In any case, by default gMail
will concatenate the string supplied as the Reader (/R:)
with the current QWK file...
