Short: UUCP Mail-Reader, version 4 (4.159)
Type: comm/mail
Uploader: amk@cs.tu-berlin.de
AmigaElm Electronic Mail Reader for all known UUCP packages (Amiga,
Smith. Dillon, Feulner, etc.), easy to install and to use.
Mostly compatible with Unix-elm (basic functions) and lots
of additional features. AmigaOS 2.0+ required.
Basic internal support for MIME (multimedia mail) and en-
cryption/decryption (eg, with PGP). Also supports "metamail"
and "reqtools" library 2.x.
This is version 4 (4.159), Shareware, binary only. Registered
version comes with full C source (and has better support ;-)
(concept based on hwr-mail by Heiko W. Rupp)
Author: Andreas M. Kirchwitz
Changes since version 3:
- New sorting criterion: "Receiver".
- In Group-Reply, double entries (To, Cc, From) will be deleted.
- New command 'E' (Extended Group-Reply), old command 'E' (Export) gone.
- Corrected searching order for env-vars HOST(NAME), DOMAIN(NAME)
and USER(NAME) according to the manual. The vars with NAME
appended are only used if the one without NAME doesn't exist.
- Elm exits if started in terminal-mode into background (run).
- More descriptive error message if OldLocking is off but
OwnDevUnit.library is not installed.
- New in .elm/elmrc: "ColorBackground", "ColorText", "ColorIntuition"
and "ColorPrompt". Old keyword "Color" is now obsolete. See manual
for conversion of old color values to new ones.
- New in .elm/elmrc: "CryptMode", set default encryption mode for
outgoing mail (Send-off Window).
- Encryption now supports three custom settings.
- Keywords "Screen-*" in .elm/elmrc now also allowed without
leading "Screen-"
- In manual (Elm.guide): cleaned up example .elm/elmrc file
- New shells (command "!") now opened within dimensions of window,
not screen.
- Fixed Enforcer hit(s) when loading non-empty folder, deleting all
messages, resync'ing (empty folder) and then filling this folder
with messages so that Elm has to resync again.
- New keys: "J"/"K" skips to next/previous undeleted message
- New file .elm/smartsignature, list of addresses (AmigaDOS patterns,
one per line) -- if the pattern matches on one of the receipients
(To,Cc,Bcc) then Elm appends no signature by default.
- Cleaned up documentation for commands S)ave, W)rite and C)opy.
- Folder loaded with option -f (or FOLDER) was accidently deleted
on exit if KeepEmpty=No, AlwaysKeep=No and all messages were read.
- Key-shortcuts in "Send-off Window" for Okay/Edit/Cancel now work
case-insensitive.
- Warning with domainized HOSTNAME and non-empty DOMAINNAME now
only in verbose mode. (AmiTCP seems to be broken)
- Search command '/' crashed machine if used under AmigaOS 1.x.
(search command calls AmigaOS 2.x pattern-matching functions)
- Totally rewritten code for getting char in terminal (raw) mode.
(this fixes a bug in SAS/C's rawcon() if redirection is active)
- When in terminal mode: file notification (if folder has changed)
now finally works, and CTRL-C (break) is detected.
- Now DOMAINNAME may start either _with_ period ('.') or _without_ one
(or may be empty).
- If connected to an Amiga terminal, Elm no longer needs LINES and
COLUMNS. Terminal's width and height are now checked with WINDOW
STATUS REQUEST (Amiga specific CSI sequence).
- New in .elm/elmrc: "WBR_Timeout" (in microseconds) sets maximum
response time for terminal to answer WINDOW STATUS REQUEST (for
window bounds). Defaults to 1 (for local usage), must be set
to higher value for remote connections. Only used in terminal
mode.
- New scripts "EncryptMsg", "DecryptMsg" and "DecryptFolder".
Thanks to Peter Simons.
- If outgoing mail is encrypted, saving is disabled by default (in
Send-off Window) for security reasons. Because of technical
reasons those mail is saved as entered in editor without
modifications selected in Send-off Window. But be careful,
you'll have the un-encrypted plain text on your hard-disk!
- Pipe command "|" now works also in terminal mode.
- New in .elm/elmrc: FolderDirectory, starting directory when
changing folder (command key 'c') with file-requester, default
is "uumail:".
