Short: Mail-Reader (UUCP/Internet), v6 (6.24)
Type: comm/mail
Author: amk@zikzak.in-berlin.de (Andreas M. Kirchwitz)
Uploader: amk@cs.tu-berlin.de (Andreas M. Kirchwitz)
AmigaElm Electronic Mail Reader for UUCP and IP packages (AmigaUUCP,
Dillon-UUCP, Feulner-UUCP, wUUCP, AmiTCP + InetUtils etc.),
easy to install and to use. Mostly compatible with Unix-elm
(basic functions) and lots of additional features. Can be
used over a serial line. 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 6 (6.24), 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 5:
- New in .elm/elmrc: "WarnReturnCode". When launching external programs
(eg, sendmail), AmigaElm warns you (with a requester) if the return
code (RC) of the program is "WarnReturnCode" or higher. If the RC is
less "WarnReturnCode", AmigaElm ignores it and continues processing
without warning.
[Peter Simons]
- New section "External Programs" in Elm.guide file.
Describes utilities in "c" directory.
- New section in documentation about AmigaElm and TCP/IP (Internet).
Hints for configuration. Tips & Tricks. Some answers to common
problems.
- S:UUConfig and uulib:Config don't need to exist any longer,
especially useful for IP-users (AmiTCP, AS225 etc).
- New in .elm/elmrc: "AppendSignature", do you want to append the
signature always, never or only if you're not replying to a mail.
This makes old config variable "NoSigOnReply" obsolete.
[Alexander Aulbach]
- A "Metamail-Reply" (shift-m) in an empty folder could cause problems.
[Dan Cannon]
- Experimental RFC1522 handling (see V5.10-5.42) now case-insensitive.
[Peter Simons]
- New in .elm/elmrc: MetaMail, do you want to start MetaMail on
MIME messages always, never or should AmigaElm ask before starting
MetaMail. The env variable "NoMetaMail" is obsolete.
- Improved ^L (formfeed, ctrl-l) handling again.
- A "From " line followed by a second "From " line (generated by
some brain-dead mail-list software) is now recognized as beginning
of a new mail message.
[Rodney Hester]
- If started in terminal mode, AmigaElm doesn't run MetaMail in its
own window (see also "IOWindow").
[Carlos Amezaga]
- New in .elm/elmrc: "IOWindow" sets characteristics of console I/O
windows (eg, for MetaMail). This variable isn't really new... it's
there for versions, but I forgot to document it ;-)
- New default for "IOWindow", AUTO and WAIT added.
- In terminal mode, before launching programs (eg, MetaMail), console
(or whatever your I/O stream is ;-) is set to cooked (non-raw) mode.
