Short: Mail-Reader (UUCP/Internet), v7 (7.150)
Author: amk@zikzak.in-berlin.de (Andreas M. Kirchwitz)
Uploader: amk@cs.tu-berlin.de (Andreas M. Kirchwitz)
Type: comm/mail
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 7 (7.150), 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
Summary of changes since version 6:
IT'S FAST - AMAZINGLY FAST NOW!
===============================
- When new mail arrives, only the new messages are read.
(not the complete folder like in previous versions)
- More intelligent 2-phase checking of folder changes allows much
FASTER movement on main index screen and avoids scatter load of
new messages.
- Remembers last selected message after re-read.
- IT'S FAST - AMAZINGLY FAST NOW!
Reads in the complete folder in almost half the time.
(compared with previous versions)
- You can skip directly to the next unread message from within
built-in pager. (includes reading and deleting, configurable)
- Improved scripts for encryption and decryption.
- Improved "Send-off" prompt in terminal mode.
- Various other enhancements.
- Some internal changes and bug fixes.
Complete list of changes since version 6:
- Removed dozens of fseek()'s and ftell()'s, especially when reading in
mail folders. You folders are now read in almost half the time.
Envoy users may notice speed increase up to ten times (compared
with previous versions).
- If folder could not be opened, lock on folder was not removed
so that access from other programs was denied until reboot or
next successful call to Elm.
- For built-in pager: made "D" (shift d) the opposite of "d" in
combination with the SkipIndex variable. If SkipIndex is on,
"d" skips the index screen and "D" does not. If SkipIndex is off,
"d" return to index screen and "D" skips it.
- Changed default for "WarnReturnCode" from 1 to 10, because most users
never read manuals or history files (like this one).
- Some minor modifications in documentation (AppendSignature,
Iconify command key).
- Fixed some problems with re-sync ('$') and edit ('e') which were
introduced with the new read-only-new-msgs-on-folder-change-feature.
[Martin Jahner]
- After uniconify Elm's window is brought to front.
[Christian Stelter]
- Made Escape-key an alias for Control-C to abort "q"uit and e"x"it.
[Mike A. McAngus]
- Updated scripts "EncryptMsg" and "DecryptMsg".
[thanks to Ignatios Souvatzis and Peter Simons]
- Some further enhancements to "SkipIndex" and skip-to-next-message
feature.
- Fixed bug with option "-z" which didn't override "QuitEmpty" from
.elm/elmrc file correctly. Now it does ;-)
- More intelligent 2-phase checking of folder changes allows much
faster movement on main index screen and avoids scatter load of
new messages.
- Small changes to options menu.
- New design for "send-off" prompt when in terminal mode.
New switch to (not) archive out-going mail.
- Fixed bug with static string (was too small, a relict from the
past) when calling Metamail, which could cause Enforcer hits
if the Content-Type header field was larger then expected.
Now replaced with a dynamic string ;-)
[Klaus Heinz]
- Optimized search function (key '/')... is faster now.
- Some minor changes in documentation.
- Environment variable "HOME_ELM" offically documented now.
- Iconify/Zoom-Gadget gone, use Amiga-i instead.
- Iconify allowed only on main index screen.
- Rework of window refresh code.
- If new messages arrive, AmigaElm won't re-read the complete folder
any longer, but only the newly arrived messages at the end of the
folder. Thus, you should not edit the message contents of the
folder while Elm is running... Elm won't recognize this any longer
(because Elm does only consistency checks for the message offsets,
not for the contents).
If you want to edit the folder (in any way) while Elm is running,
use the built-in edit function (key 'e') which causes Elm to re-
read the complete folder.
- AmigaElm now automatically tries to remember last selected message
after re-read of folder.
- When in built-in pager: key 'n' and some other keys (eg, ' ' and 'd')
immediately jump to next undeleted message without displaying index
main screen. (see also new variable "SkipIndex")
- New in .elm/elmrc: "SkipIndex". If set to "No" and in internal pager,
only key 'n' skips to next undeleted message without displaying index
main screen.
