1.1 (the release version) eliminates the separate "Open other mailbox…" and "Open saved message…" commands, and replaces them with a single "Open…" command. The text file that you select will be opened as a mailbox if Fernmail finds any complete messages in it, and will be opened as a message-being-edited (i.e. as a plain text file) otherwise.
1.1b25 fixes a bug in the "» recipient" logic which caused the file copies of newly-sent messages to be displayed incorrectly.
1.1b24 changes the behavior of the message-summary pane slightly. Fernmail will now recognize messages that you sent (it compares the name on the From: line with the contents of your NAME variable), and displays the recipient's name (preceeded by a "»") in the summary, rather than repeating your name ad infinitum. This makes it easier to look back through the contents of your mail.sent file and locate specific messages.
1.1b23 improves error handling. In most common cases, I/O error dialogs will now include the name of the file or directory which was involved in the error. Some additional error-handling improvements have been made to the BinHex decoder.
1.0b22 prevents the "I/O error, file not found" message from appearing, if the file specified by the HEADERS string is not present in the user's home directory. This message was a bit startling to many folks.
1.1b21 improves compliance with RFC 822. Fernmail will now recognize the Reply-to: header, if one is present in a message, and will use the specified address when initializing a reply message. Fernmail will allow you to manually enter a "From:" header line in a mail-composition window; if present, this line will be sent without modifications, and a "Sender:" line will be added to the message headers.
1.1b20 removes the hint resources from the inbox, if it finds that the inbox can simply be truncated rather than rewritten. This avoids a "Hints out of sync, reverting to Plan B" message when opening the inbox.
1.1b19 makes some minor changes in the new mailbox-updating code.
1.1b18 implements a new scheme for message management in secondary mailboxes. This changes the way in which deleted messages are handled, and greatly increases the speed with which secondary mailboxes can be updated when you close them. See the Features section for details.
1.1b17 makes it possible for you to change the size of the message-summary pane at the top of a mailbox reading window. To do this, issue the three-finger salute (command-option-shift) and click down in the window. The cursor will change to a cross-bar. Drag the cursor to the point in the window at which you wish the division between message-summary and message-reading panes to appear, and release the mouse button.
1.1b16 fixes a bug, in which messages saved to disk could have their innards discarded (only the first 1k bytes, and the last fraction of a kilobyte, would be saved properly).
1.1b15 improves the handling of very large messages a bit (the first 32k of the message should be readable, unless Fernmail is very short on available memory), fixes a bug when saving such messages directly to a disk file, and fixes a bug in the BinHex decoder which caused large encoded files to be badly mangled during the unhexing process. It also marks messages written to the mail.sent file as "Not new, has been read."
1.1b14 adds automatic line-wrapping/indentation to the message-editing window, adds a SEGMENTLINES string to specify the number of text (or encoded binary) lines per attached-file segment, and adds a HEADERS string to specify a file in the user's home directory which is to be used to "seed" the message-editing window with a set of headers different from the default "To: and "Subject:" headers.
1.1b13 fixes a problem with the configuration-file locater (it wasn't finding "Fernmail site config" as an alternative to "Fernmail config") and a problem with the directory manager (it was losing track of directories on disks other than the one on which Fernmail was installed).
1.1b12 fixes some problems in the magick-cookie registration code. Any text cookies which I create with this version (or later ones) won't be accepted by earlier versions… so new registrants must be sent an up-to-date copy of Fernmail along with their cookie. Older registration cookies (those already installed in peoples' configuration files) will continue to work.
1.1b11 had some internal changes and bug fixes. I don't think I send this version to anyone.
1.1b10 adds new Open commands, which will open your incoming (new) or already-read (old) mailbox files without requiring a trip through the file-selection dialog box. It also adds a "Save to file…" command in the Messages menu, which will append the currently-selected message to an existing text file, or create a new file and write the message to it. You can choose to save the entire message including its mail headers (this is the default) or to omit the headers and save only the body, signature, and attachments. An additional choice for the "selected message" effect has been implemented... set the SELECTIONEFFECTS string to "outline", and the selected message will be outlined by a rectangle.
1.1b9 adds compatibility with UUMac, in addition to uupc and Mac/GNUUCP. Set the TRANSPORTER string to "uumap" for this mode.
1.1b8 adds support for aliases.
1.1b7 fixes a bug which caused the lines in an outbound mail message to be wrapped around at the right margin in the sender's mail-composition window.
1.1b6 increases the size of a message which you can load with the "Open saved message..." command from 10k bytes to 30k bytes.
1.1b5 adds compatibility with Mac/gnuucp 4.6, in addition to the Mac/gnuucp 4.3 and uupc 2.1 compatibility modes. Set the TRANSPORTER configuration string to "gnuucp46" for this mode. 1.1b5 also adds support for a split-configuration-file environment.
1.1b4 adds some simple Emacs-like cursor-control commands. You can use either the command key, or the control key for any of these commands. Control-A, beginning of line. Control-E, end of line. Control-F, forward one character. Control-B, back one character. Control-P, previous line. Control-N, next line.
1.1b3 fixes a bug in the simple-USENET-news-posting code. Fernmail now strips the (TIMEZONE) comment off of the Date: header, if such a comment is present in your configuration file; these comments are not legal in USENET news headers, although they're legal in RFC822 electronic mail headers.
