TITLE
Amiga Elm
VERSION
6 (6.24)
AUTHOR

E-Mail: elm-fan@zikzak.in-berlin.de
DESCRIPTION
AmigaElm is an "Electronic Mail Reader" which allows you to read and
write mail. Normally you'd need a properly installed UUCP or IP
package (eg, AmigaUUCP, Feulner-UUCP, Dillon-UUCP, wUUCP or AmiTCP
plus INetUtils) to receive and send mail, but AmigaElm is highly
configurable so that you can take a mail-folder from a UNIX box,
answer the messages and bring the answers back to the UNIX box.
AmigaElm is easy to install and to use. The user interface is very
intuitive and similar to the well-known UNIX "elm". Beginners can
control all basic functions with menus and some nice GadTools
requesters. Advanced users can use aliases, prioritized message tagging,
various filename-offers when saving messages and lots of options to
configure AmigaElm to fit your needs. In a system with multiple users,
AmigaElm allows separate configuration files for each user.
AmigaElm can be invoked in a special "terminal mode" (all input/output
from/to console). This is useful for running AmigaElm in the current
shell window or over a serial line (eg, with AUX-Handler).
AmigaElm offers basic internal MIME (multimedia mail) functionality
(eg, sending 8-bit-text and binaries over 7-bit-lines) and supports
"MetaMail" (a full-featured package for handling all kinds of MIME
messages -- also available on AmiNet, see section "AVAILABILITY") and
"ReqTools" library 2.x (reqtools.library is included).
AmigaElm has built-in support for cryptographic applications (eg, PGP).
Encryption and decryption of messages is user-configurable.
NEW FEATURES
Changes since version 5: (summary)
- New section in documentation about AmigaElm and TCP/IP (Internet).
- S:UUConfig and uulib:Config don't need to exist any longer,
especially useful for IP-users (AmiTCP, AS225 etc).
- New config switch: "AppendSignature", do you want to append the
signature always, never or only if you're not replying to a mail.
- New config switch: "MetaMail", do you want to start MetaMail on MIME
messages always, never or should Elm ask before starting MetaMail.
- A "From " line followed by a second "From " line is now recognized
as beginning of a new mail message.
- If started in terminal mode, AmigaElm doesn't run MetaMail in its
own window (see also "IOWindow").
- New config switch: "IOWindow" sets characteristics of console I/O
windows. Better internal defaults for console I/O windows.
- Improved return code handling when launching external programs.
(see file "History.Txt" for complete list of changes)
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
AmigaOS 2.0 (or higher)
And for normal usage: a properly installed UUCP or IP package.
But can be configured to run without a UUCP or IP package for
processing ready-made mail-folders (eg, from your work or
university).
