*** Warning ***
Most of these new additions are hardly tested! However, because some
people had problems with timEd/B5 ('grunged' origins) I wanted to
release a fix as soon as possible. This should be it.
Using beta software is always risky, of course, but this one is even
worse :-)
*** Warning ***
What's new:
■ The 'speed search' now works a bit better: backspace works, and
pressing a 'movement key' (like 'up' or 'down') now also clears the
string.
In addition, you can now press CTRL-L to find a next match for the
string (this might come in handu if you have a conference called
OS2.028 at the top of the list and one called OS2 at the bottom. At
least if you want to go to OS2 :-)
■ TimEd will now spawn the editor with the full path and filename of
the file to edit (this was only the filename).
■ If you define an origin that is too long, timEd will now chop it off
at the right length.
■ TimEd would reformat the body of a changed message (ALT-C), even if
the body had not been updated. Fixed.
■ Yet another colour keyword: color_msgspecial: the colour of the 'TO:'
field for personal messages (message reading screen). Using this
keyword you can 'highlight' your personal messages.
■ TimEd would leave spaces behind the closing bracket ')' on the origin
line, causing 'grunged message detectors' to reject the messages :-(
TimEd now checks for a valid and clean Origin line, cleaning or
adding origin lines when necessary. It should be OK now...
■ Added better support for 'Aliases'. The 'Alias' keyword is now
obsolete, but you can now put up to 10 NAME keywords in timEd.cfg.
When you are in a message area, you can press CTRL-N to pick one of
the names you defined. This will then be the default until you leave
that area.
■ Added similar support for AKA's, now you can press CTRL-A to pick one
of your Addresses.
■ Added the ability to change both the origination address and name
while editing a header.
When editing a header you will still start at the 'From:' field, but
you can now press 'up' to go edit the origination address, and 'up'
again to edit the orig-name.
From both these fields, you can also press <TAB> to get a list of the
defined NAMEs and AKAs, and pick the one you want. An address or name
that is chosen using this method is valid for that message only (so
it will not change the default like CTRL-A and CTRL-N do).
■ Added the WRITENAME keyword to config. Use this to give a default
filename to write to (using ALT-W). If you don't use this it will
still be timed.prn.
Example: WRITENAME c:\timed\safe.out
■ TimEd now exits with useful errorlevels:
No mail entered : 0
Netmail entered : 1
Echomail entered : 2
Local mail entered : 4
If more than one type is entered the numbers are added:
Net + Echo : 3
Net + Local : 5
Echo + Local : 6
Net + Echo + Local : 7
Error: 254
■ Added the Startup_Scan keyword. You can use it to tell timEd if you
want to scan the message areas at startup. It can have three
different values:
Yes - scan all areas at startup
No - do not scan areas at startup (default)
Personal - Do a personal mailscan at startup
Example:
Startup_Scan Personal
