Uh, sorry... I'll clean up the announcement as recommended.
Now it's about 1 kB shorter. I hope it's okay.

Yes, please. Your help is welcome!
Appended is my revised version of the announcement for AmigaElm v5.

TITLE
Amiga Elm
VERSION
5 (5.42)
AUTHOR
Andreas M. Kirchwitz
E-Mail: elm-fan@zikzak.in-berlin.de
DESCRIPTION
AmigaElm is an "Electronic Mail Reader" which allows you to read and
write mails. Normally you'll need a properly installed UUCP or IP
package (eg, AmigaUUCP, Feulner-UUCP, Dillon-UUCP, wUUCP or AmiTCP
plus InetUtils) to receive and send mails, but AmigaElm is highly
configurable so that you can take a mail-folder from a UNIX box,
answer the mails 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, priorized 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-texts 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 builtin support for cryptographic applications (eg, PGP).
Encryption and decryption of messages is user-configurable.
NEW FEATURES
Changes since version 4: (summary)
- Now when launching programs, AmigaElm checks return code.
- New script "DecodeNeXTmail" decodes NeXTmail.
- Some experimental RFC1522 handling for incoming and outgoing mail
to use special chars (eg, Umlaute, 8-bit-chars) within header.
- Improved ^L (formfeed, ctrl-l) handling.
- Title bar displays current page number and total number of pages.
- Improved handling of lines beginning with "From " and ">From "
(useful for some mailing list software).
- Keeping of old UID/GID of folder had never worked. Works now!
- Fixed bug: "Send-off Window" didn't always open on same screen
as Elm's main window (but on default screen).
(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).
