What is Popcorn?
----------------
Popcorn is a freeware ultra-lightweight POP3/(E)SMTP e-mail client,
free from unwanted and useless bloatware features. Being a true client/
server application, it does not work in the same way as a typical mail
program. This means that you're reading mail from a POP3 server directly,
without downloading it to a local mailbox on your PC (although you can
save mail messages locally if you want to). This makes it ideally suited
for "on the road" mail access, and for scanning, reading and sending mail
over slow internet connections.

Popcorn supports multiple user profiles, enabling you to read and send
mail from any number of different POP3 accounts. It is a small, portable
e-mail client, the kind you can carry with you on a floppy disk or download
quickly from the web without having to go through any installation procedures.
The user profiles and account information is NOT saved in the local registry,
but in a small, portable .INI-file that accompanies the application,
enabling you to easily move between locations.

Using Popcorn you can check and send mail from anywhere as long as you
have an Internet connection. You can also delete spam, old messages or see
if a message has attachments without downloading the messages from the
server first. It is perfect for cleaning up and administering multiple POP3
accounts.


What's new in this release (1.47 - 30-July-2003)?
-------------------------------------------------
Bug-fixes:

* Saving recent to addresses in the mail editor had been accidentally
  disabled, this has now been fixed!

* Popcorn now properly handles a non-critical WinSock error (10035 -
  WSAEWOULDBLOCK) that could appear when receiving data.


What's new in this release (1.46 - 28-July-2003)?
-------------------------------------------------
New features:

* Added "Delete Selected" menu item to the inbox context popup menu.

* Double clicking on the Popcorn tray icon while the Ctrl or Alt key
  is pressed will make it check for new mail. If the "All profiles"
  window is opened, it will check all profiles/accounts, if it is not
  opened, it will check the current account/profile.

* Implemented a "open Popcorn window and bring to the front with new
  headers on new mail" option. To enable it, set the "ToFrontOnNewMail"
  option to "TRUE" (default value is "FALSE") for the profiles you want
  to use it.


Bug-fixes:

* Fixed a bug that would make Popcorn prompt repeatedly for the account
  password when using All Profiles, and one or more accounts were set
  up to not remember the account password.

* Popcorn now properly remembers and restores the mail editor window
  if it is maximized.

* Fixed a bug that would sometime not properly strip a MIME header from
  a "decoded" e-mail, leaving the letters "Th" at the beginning of the
  e-mail.

* Fixed a bug that would not properly update server info in the "All
  profiles" dialog when deleting all mail items on a server.

* Fixed a bug that would "blank out" the Profile selection combo on the
  toolbar when deleting the last profile in the user profile manager.


Other:

* Simplified the way inbox columns width and column order are saved
  in the Popcorn.ini file. This means your current inbox columns width
  and order will be lost the first time you start Popcorn, adjust them
  to your preferred setting, and they will be properly restored the
  next time you start Popcorn. The following variables/keys can be
  safely deleted from the "[PopcornSettings]" section of the Popcorn.ini
  file (if you feel comfortable doing that): "ColFromWidth", "ColSubjectWidth",
  "ColDateWidth", "ColStatusWidth", "ColSizeWidth", "ColAttachWidth",
  "ColServerNumWidth", "ColumnOrder".

* Simplified size displays to only show KB (kilobytes) as smallest value
  without any decimals.

* Removed "PromptOnProfileChange" settings and message box (obsolete).


For more information about what has been updated (bugfixes and enhancements)
in previous releases, have a look at the "Release history" section at the end
of this document.


Getting started:
----------------
When you have installed or extracted popcorn.zip to a folder, it is ready for
use. Popcorn starts by asking you if you want to create a user profile if you
have not done so before. By answering yes, the User Profiles dialog will open,
and you'll have to click on the "New..." button to create and name a new profile.
Enter all the information needed to receive and send mail. It's important that
you fill out all the required fields correctly to be able to use all Popcorn
features.

The following fields are required in the "Identity and Servers" tab:

  * Full Name
  * E-mail Address
  * POP3 Server (if you want to receive mail)
  * POP3 User (to be able to log onto the POP server)
  * POP3 Password (to be able to log onto the POP server)
    Checking the "Remember password" option (default) will make Popcorn
    store the password, if you want Popcorn to prompt you for the password,
    un-check this checkbox.
  * SMTP Server Name (if you want to send mail)
    Checking the "My account requires authentication" option will allow
    you to enter your (E)SMTP authentication mode and details if necessary.

The password field will always contain stars (******) even if no password
has been entered. Default settings are used in the "Settings" tab when you
create a new profile, change them as you see fit.

When you have entered the information needed to be able to send and receive
mail, click OK and Popcorn is ready for use. All user profile information and
program configuration is stored in an .INI file (popcorn.ini) residing in
the directory Popcorn was started from. If you wish to use Popcorn on other
computers or locations without re-entering user profile information, this
file contains all that is needed.


Using Popcorn:
--------------
Popcorn is a true server/client application. This means that all mail
resides on the POP3 server(s) that the user profiles specify. There is
no local diskbased inbox or outbox. When you retrieve mail, it resides
only in memory on the client computer. You can save mail to your harddisk
as a text file, but you must do so implicitly by choosing "Save Current
Message..."

When you delete items from your local "Inbox", they will be removed
permanently from the account on the POP server (this is only possible if
the check box on the left hand side of the mail item is checked or the item
is highlighted in the inbox). You will be thoroughly warned before any mails
are deleted from the POP server. Emptying the local inbox, switching user
profile or exiting Popcorn will NOT delete any mail from the server, and
upon exit, no mail is left on the host computers local hard disk.

When composing new mails, replying to or forwarding mail using the built-in
editor, you can save outgoing messages manually or automatically. To save
them manually, select "Save Mail Draft..." from the menu. For automatic saving
of sent messages, you can either check the "Save outgoing" checkbox, or enable
it permanently through the Settings tab in the User Profile manager. Messages
saved in this way can be loaded into the mail editor through the "Open Mail
Draft..." item on the menu. The draft messages contain the recipient(s) and
subject lines in addition to the message content, so these fields will be
automatically restored in the editor when a mail draft is loaded. All maildrafts
and outgoing mails are saved as normal text files and they are fully readable
and searchable by programs like Notepad.


SSL and Popcorn:
----------------
You can read and send e-mail with Popcorn on SSL servers by using
Stunnel (http://www.stunnel.org/), a universal SSL wrapper.

Just follow the instructions here:
http://www.wurd.com/eng/setup/stunnel.htm

Remember to replace server names, usernames and passwords with your
account details, and you'll be up and running.


Uninstalling Popcorn:
---------------------
To uninstall Popcorn, delete the installation directory and all shortcuts.
No data or files are stored in the registry or other directories.

Release history:
----------------
Release 1.45 - 09-July-2003

New features:
* Popcorn now supports the APOP authentication method when logging on
  to POP servers enabeling secure user login with MD5 digital signatures.
  To enable APOP authentication, go to the "User Profiles -> Identity &
  Servers" tab, then check the "Logon using secure password authentication
  (APOP MD5)" option for the profiles you want to use it. Popcorn uses
  the POP server password as the APOP client/server shared secret.
* Removed the "POP Proxy" checkbox and edit field on the "User Profiles ->
  Identity & Servers" tab to allow room for the APOP login check box. POP
  Proxy settings still work, they just have to be edited manually for each
  profile in the Popcorn.ini file. Set the "UsePOPProxy" variable to "TRUE"
  to enable POP proxy for a profile, and enter the proxy name through the
  "POPProxy" variable.
* Added tweakable parameters for POP and SMTP socket data receive poll
  timers. The values can be changed in the Popcorn.ini file throught the
  following two variables: "POPRecvPollTimeout" and "SMTPRecvPollTimeout".
  The default value is 5 ( * 100) microseconds. Adjusting these parameters
  can make Popcorn communicate better with some POP and SMTP servers.
  It is not recommended changing these values unless you know what they do.
* Redesigned and simplified the "Mailbox info for all Profiles" dialog.
* Double-clicking on a profile in the "Mailbox info for all Profiles"
  dialog will activate the corresponding profile in the inbox and
  download the latest headers.
* Pressing <enter> when the list view has focus in the "Mailbox info
  for all Profiles" dialog will activate the corresponding profile in
  the inbox and download the latest headers.
* Right-clicking on a profile in the "Mailbox info for all Profiles"
  dialog will "resets" it's status (used to be double-click).
* Added error message suppression option when Popcorn is minimized
  in the system tray. This option is turned on ("TRUE") by default,
  to disable it/turn it off, set the "SuppressErrorsTray" variable
  in the Popcorn.ini file to "FALSE".
* Added user definable online spell check to the mail editor available
  by placing the cursor on or marking the word, then pressing F7 or
  using the context pop-up menu. The spell check URL can be changed
  through the "SpellCheckURL" variable in the popcorn.ini file.
  The "%s" format specifier in the URL string is used to insert the
  spell check word into the URL.
* Popcorn can now repeat the new mail sound with a fixed interval set
  by the user. The default value is 0 seconds (repeat disabled). The
  value can be changed through the Popcorn.ini file by editing the
  "RepeatSoundInt" value.
* Popcorn can now start with the "Mailbox info for all profiles"
  dialog automatically opened by checking the "All Profiles on Startup"
  menu item on the Windows menu.
* Added "Minimize on Close" toggle menu item on the Windows menu.
* Added "Popcorn Support Forum" menu item on the Help menu for quick
  access to support resources.
* Added "Handle mailto: protocol" registration option checkbox in the
  Popcorn installer.

Bug-fixes:
* The tray icon tooltip now also shows the last time you checked
  all accounts for new mail when doing a complete "manual" pass.
* Popcorn did not always save/restore the size and position of the
  "Mailbox info for all profiles" dialog, this has now been fixed.
* Fixed a bug that would crash Popcorn if it was set as the system
  default mail client, no user profiles had been created and a mailto:
  link was clicked while Popcorn was running (which does not happen
  very often :-)
* Fixed DST time offset problem when sending mails from Popcorn.
* Simplified more menu items.
* Re-designed the about/splash screen a bit -- now in color!



Release 1.40 - 20-May-2003

New features:
* Popcorn now has partial support for MIME decoding of the message body.
  You can toggle decoding on/off through the mail viewer context
  pop-up menu (saved in the Popcorn settings file):
  - Display Message Body -> Raw     -- Displays the raw (encoded) body
  - Display Message Body -> Decoded -- Displays decoded body
  It only works with MIME Content-Transfer-Encoding schemes that Popcorn
  supports, which is currently limited to "quoted-printable" (western
  non-english characters), "7bit", "text/plain", "text/html" (decode only,
  no display) and "8bit" encoding with more to come in the future. Unknown
  MIME type parts are left untouched.
* Popcorn now supports the "mailto:" protocol, allowing it to be set
  as the system default mail client. To enable this functionality,
  edit the "Popcorn_MailTo.reg" (registry) file to point to the
  Popcorn install directory ("C:\Program Files\Popcorn\Popcorn.exe"),
  run the .reg file, and then use the Internet Options control panel
  applet to set Popcorn as the standard/default e-mail program.
* By setting the "MinimizeOnClose" option to "TRUE" (default value is
  "FALSE") in the Popcorn.ini file, Popcorn is minimized instead of
  closing the program itself altogether when you click on the main
  window close "x" button.
* Recent to address lists (To:, Cc: and Bcc: fields) in the mail editor
  are now sorted alphabetically by default. To use "last in first out"
  sort order, set the "RecentToSort" variable in the Popcorn.ini file
  to "FALSE".
* Popcorn now remembers and restores the size and position of the
  "Mailbox info for all profiles" dialog.
* Double clicking on an account in the "Mailbox info for all profiles"
  dialog list view will reset it's status.

Bug-fixes:
* Fixed another bug that made Popcorn display the wrong mailbox size
  in the "Mailbox info for All Profiles" dialog when deleting mail
  items on the server.
* Fixed a bug that would display format characters (CR LF & TAB) in
  the "From:" field in the inbox list view.
* Fixed a bug that would sometime allow control or format characters
  to be included in the To: and Cc: fields in the mail editor. This
  would also cause havoc when saving the address to the recent-to
  list in the popcorn.ini file.
* Fixed two obscure bugs in the Quoted Printable decoder.
* Fixed a bug that would sometimes display a partially downloaded
  mail item as "Local", not "Local (partial)" as it should be in the
  in the inbox list view.
* The directory selection dialog in the User profile manager used to
  select the outgoing mail path now automatically chooses and displays
  the previously entered folder.
* Fixed a bug that disabled using the arrow keys to move the list view
  selection in the "Mailbox info for all profiles" dialog.
* Fixed a bug that would case Popcorn not to save program settings
  during system shutdown/logoff.
* Cleaned up and simplified all Tooltips and menu help texts.
* Cleaned up and simplified all menus and context menus.
* Enhanced application init and exit code.



Release 1.36 - 20-Apr-2003

Bug-fixes:
* Fixed a bug that would "steal" the keyboard focus when automatically
  checking the inbox for new mail when it is not active/selected.
* Fixed a bug that would bring the "Mailbox Info for All Profiles"
  dialog to the front (or "steal" the keyboard focus) when automatically
  checking for new mail when the dialog is not active/selected.
* Fixed a bug in the mail editor that could overwrite the previously
  saved mail draft when saving while composing, replying to or forwarding.
* Fixed a bug that allowed opening more than one "User Profiles" dialog,
  that would sometime make Popcorn crash.
* Fixed a small bug in the mail editor To:, Cc: and Bcc: field address
  auto complete that stopped the Ctrl key from functioning in the normal
  way (Ctrl+Z for Undo, Ctrl+C for Copy etc).
* Popcorn now properly decodes Windows-1252 header strings.
* Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause the "Mailbox info for all
  profiles" dialog to display wrong server info for unchecked
  (greyed out) accounts.
* Fixed a bug that would cause the "Mailbox info for all profiles"
  dialog to display wrong server info after deleting mail items on
  a server.



Release 1.35 - 11-Apr-2003

New features:
* Popcorn now supports (E)SMTP Authentication. Currently only
  AUTH PLAIN and AUTH LOGIN authentication methods are supported,
  AUTH CRAM-MD5 (MD5 enctryption) is not supported. To enable SMTP
  authentication, enter the "User Profile Manager", on the "Identity
  & Servers" tab, check the "My server requires authentication"
  checkbox, and click on the "Settings..." button to adjust the
  details if necessary.
  MD5 support will be implemented when or if someone tells me how it
  works -- I can't make hide nor hair of it...
* The "Mailbox Info for All Profiles" dialog now only updates the
  checked-off accounts, this info is stored in the program settings
  and restored the next time you start Popcorn.
* The "Mailbox Info for All Profiles" dialog can now update all
  checked accounts automatically with a specified minute interval.
  Open the dialog to enable automatic checking and to set the desired
  interval.
* The "Mailbox Info for All Profiles" dialog can now indicate new
  messages on all servers and remember this between Popcorn sessions.
  Together with the Autocheck all feature it will make Popcorn put up
  either a message box when you have new mail, or to flash the system
  tray icon if any account has new mail (when Popcorn is minimized).
  It is not 100% perfect yet, mostly because Popcorn does not have a
  permanent inbox, and it does not use UIDL/LIST POP3 features to
  check for new mail, but this will hopefully be implemented in the
  future. To disable this, you have to set the "SaveLatestOnServer"
  varible in the Popcorn.ini file to "FALSE".
* The tray icon tooltip now displays the last time Popcorn checked
  automatically for new mail.

Bug-fixes:
* Fixed a small bug that would output an additional "Disconnected from
  server" message in the transaction log when closing Popcorn.
* Fixed a minor bug that would sometimes activate the wrong user
  profile if the "Mailbox Info for All Profiles" window was minimized
  while items were being downloaded to the inbox in the background.
* Addresses entered in the Mail Editor Cc: and Bcc: fields were not
  saved in the recently sent to history list.
* The Popcorn tray icon is now always present as long as popcorn is
  running -- it just would not work correctly when it was toggled
  on/off.
* Fixed a bug that disabled sizing the "Mailbox info for all profiles"
  dialog.
* Setting and selecting append outgoing/sent mail to file in the
  User Profile Manager did not work correctly.
* If the Popcorn tray icon context pop-up menu item "Mailbox Info for
  All Profiles..." was chosen before the dialog had been opened once
  while the Popcorn window was visible, it would not appear. This has
  now been fixed.
* Total internal rewrite of User Profile object property handling.
* Removed & fixed misc. memory and resource leaks (BoundsChecker).
* Improved transaction message thread startup.
* Several minor bugs/glitches have been fixed.
* Several minor usability issues have been fixed/enhanced.



Release 1.31 - 25-Mar-2003

New features:
* The mail editor now handles saving mail drafts in the standard
  Windows way -- Save, Save As etc...

Bug-fixes:
* Fixed a minor bug in the mail editor that would sometime select
  the text in the To: field even if keyboard focus was set to any
  other control when the window is opened.
* Fixed a minor bug in the mail editor To:, Cc: and Bcc: field address
  auto complete.
* Popcorn now remembers and restores the inbox sort order after
  messages have been deleted.
* Added "Redirect Mail" to the inbox and mail viewer context popup
  menus.



Release 1.30 - 10-Mar-2003

New features:
* Popcorn now supports up to 999 recently sent to email addresses
  in the To, Cc and Bcc fields in the Mail Editor. The maximum number
  of addresses saved can be adjusted through the "RecentToNum" field
  in the Popcorn.ini file.
* To, Cc and Bcc fields in the Mail Editor now supports email address
  auto completion. Auto completion can be turned on/off through the
  "AutoComplete" field in the Popcorn.ini file.
* You can now view un-encoded HTML mail by selecting the relevant
  content in the mail viewer, and then selecting "View selection as HTML"
  from the mail viewer context pop-up menu. The HTML content will then
  be displayed in your default web browser. Please be aware that this
  can potentially open your computer to viral infections, or other
  security holes that affects your browser.

Bug-fixes:
* Minimizing or closing the "Mailbox Info for All Profiles" window
  while retrieving mail box contents in the background no longer aborts
  the download process.
* The word wrap setting is now properly remembered in the mail editor.
  It will be turned off by default when "Quote Reply text" and/or
  "Quote Forward text" are enabled to make quoting work, but it will
  be restored to the state set in the User Profile when the mail
  editor is re-opened.
* Popcorn now supports both types of "Request Read Reciept" flags.
* If "UsePOPServerStatus" was turned on ("TRUE") in the Popcorn.ini
  file, mail headers would display wrong status messages if one or
  more items was deleted from the inbox.



Release 1.24 - 06-Sep-2002

Bug-fixes:
* Fixed critical DOS (denial of service) and remotely exploitable
  buffer overflow bugs. More info here:
  http://www.iss.net/security_center/static/9547.php



Release 1.20 - 03-Apr-2002

New features:
* EXPERIMENTAL: Added a much requested feature. Using either the "Mail" ->
  "Mailbox Info for All Profiles..." menu item, the F2 key, or the
  "Get Mailbox Info for All Profiles" icon on the toolbar, you can now
  check the message status for all mail accounts at once. This new window
  should have had a lot more functionality, but I never got around to it,
  sorry all.

Bug-fixes:
* Removed the "Help" -> "Contents" menu item since it never did anything anyway.
* Fixed a bug that prevented double clicking on hyperlinks URLs in the
  maileditor from opening the resource if the URL was placed at the
  beginning of the first line in the message edit control.
* Somehow I overlooked the obvious point that Bcc recipients should NOT BE
  INCLUDED IN THE MESSAGE HEADER (which is the point of Bcc recipients!)
  This bug has now been fixed!!! Sorry about this, but it was so obvious that
  I did not think about it for a second before it was pointed out to me...
* Fixed a bug that caused text in the inbox listview to be drawn with
  the color black regardless of the Windows control panel setting.
* Fixed a bug that could cause Popcorn to crash when the Send button is
  pushed in the mail editor when a message was being redirected.
* Fixed a bug that caused some of the toolbar buttons to be greyed out after
  deleting one or more messages and then clicking on one of the remaining
  messages in the inbox
* Fixed a bug that caused Popcorn to not remove the blinking tray icon when new
  mail arrived and it is then activated (brought to the front).
* Popcorn does no longer include the time zone description string in the
  date header field. This could cause problems sending mail with SMTP servers
  that do not allow characters outside of the 7 bit ASCII table to appear
  in header fields
* Popcorn now displays "Word wrapping on/off" in the mail viewer



Release 1.15 - 14-Sep-2001

New features:
* Popcorn can now save (and append) all outgoing mail to a single flat text file. The
  path and file name can be different for each profile. To enable this option, open the
  user profile manager, go to the Settings tab and check the "Append outgoing messages
  to a single text file" checkbox. Either select an existing path&file, or select the
  path and type the name of the file you want to create and append outgoing messages to.
* Popcorn now supports the "logon and authenticate on POP server before sending a message"
  SMTP authentication scheme. This can be enabled in the User Profile Manager on the
  "Identity and Servers" tab with the checkbox "Use POP authentication before message send"
* The User Profile Manager layout has now been and cleaned up.
  The "New...", "Clone...", "Delete..." and "Rename..." buttons are now available
  at all times (they are no longer on the "Identity and Servers" tab only).
  Grouping of controls on the same tab has also been reorganized and more logically
  placed
* Added "From:" field to the mail editor. This can be shown or hidden from the "+" button
  beside the "To:" field. If shown, it will list all profile addresses in the combo dropdown
  and show the current profiles Full Name and e-mail address, making it easy to send from any
  address defined in any user profile, or you can type in any address you want.
* Popcorn now reads and stores the Reply-To: field if it exists in all received messages.
  The Reply-To address will also be used correctly when replying or replying to all
  to a received message.
* Popcorn now accepts a command line argument that it uses to locate
  (if you supply a full path) the Popcorn INI file. If you supply only a filename,
  Popcorn will try to locate an INI file with the name given in the programs
  startup folder.
* Popcorn now has a "Mark for Deletion" sub-menu with items "Mark all Unread" og
  "Mark all Read" in addition to the existing ones.

Bug-fixes:
* Fixed a bug that made Popcorn display the wrong number of headers downloaded
  after messages has been deleted from the POP server.
* Fixed a bug where sometimes Popcorn would not empty the mail viewer window
  of a message that is beeing deleted. This could Popcorn to crash if you
  chose to save/print/reply etc... to the displayed message.
* The UsePOPServerStatus default setting has been changed from TRUE (on),
  to FALSE (off)
* The Popcorn readme file has now been renamed to PopReadme.txt, making it
  easier to separate from other readme files.

  message when retrieving the latest headers for a another profile
* Reply To All now properly retains Cc recipients in the mail editor
* Fixed bug that caused the Delete marked items on Pop server toolbar button
  not beeing greyed out when not available
* Popcorn now properly receives mail headers dynamically as specified in the POP RFCs,
  it used to have a fixed maximum size of 15k. per header. Headers with many
  100+ recipients ("To:") could also crash Popcorn, this has now been fixed.
* Finally using the checkboxes in the inbox does not trigger changes in item activation,
  but you have to use Ctrl + mouseclick to be able to check & highlight items
  at the same time without clearing the current selection
* Fixed bug that did not allow POP and SMTP port numbers to be over 8148. They
  can now be between 0 and 65535 as specified in the TCP/IP specs.
* base64 encoded header fields are now properly decoded and displayed.

  (all activity before and after server connection)
* The Transaction log window now has a context pop-up menu (right mouse click).

  (low, normal, high) in the mail editor through the "Mail Properties"
  menu
* The "Cc" and "Bcc" fields can now be toggled on and of using the "+" menu

Bug-fixes:
* A lot of usability "problems" have been improved (error dialogs etc...)
* FIX: Popcorn unselected the current message in the inbox listview if
  it was checked off (meaning the wrong context menu shows up and other
  strange stuff!)
* Partially downloaded content is now correctly decoded to 8 bit charset
* Fixed bug with displaying the wrong current sort column on menus
* Improved handling of mail sending/drafts and errors in the mail editor
* Popcorn finally notifies you of new mail AFTER they have been downloaded! ;-)
* Popcorn transmitted a single NULL character after the EOD sequence
  when transmitting SMTP data. This prohibited some SMTP servers from
  accepting mail data sent from Popcorn
* Popcorn could cut off ends of mails received from Exchange POP servers
  because Exchange reports wrong octet sizes when sending the LIST command.
  This bug affected mail download from all servers that do not strictly
  comply with RFC specifications
* Popcorn did not always properly set the "Local (partial)" status for
  a downloaded message. This has now been fixed, even for POP servers
  that do not strictly follow RFC specifications. The "Local (partial)"
  status is now only set when the user chooses to download the top n
  lines of a message, and the complete message contains more lines than
  Popcorn received
* Fixed bug with enabling/disabling (greying) edit boxes for getting top
  lines of messages with attachments or over a certain size in the User
  Profile Mananger, settings tab.
* Popcorn now prompts you before exiting if you have any unsaved data
  in the mail editor



Release 1.04 - 10-Jan-2001

New features:
* Popcorn can now save all downloaded mail items (with local or partial
  status) to single flat text file. When two or more mail items have
  been downloaded, select "File/Save All Local Mail..." or use the
  corresponding button on the toolbar to save all downloaded messages
  to the directory of your choice.
* Popcorn can now automatically send a copy of each sent mail item
  to a specified e-mail address. Using this feature enables you to have a
  roaming outbox using a second (or the same) POP account. To use
  this feature, open the User Profile manager, check the
  "Auto Send Copy To:" checkbox in the "Identity & Servers" tab,
  and enter the desired destination address. You will be prompted
  each time you send mail from the mail editor if you want to send
  a copy to the specified address.
* Popcorn now allows for selection of multiple headers in the inbox for
  deleting mail items on the POP server using the "standard" Microsoft
  list view methods (Shift, Ctrl, lasso). This can be used in combination
  with the checkboxes or separately. Using the ALT key when clicking on
  a header in the inbox allows you to select it without downloading the
  mail item.
* Popcorn now handles being started from read only media such as a write
  protected floppy or a CD. It is preferable that there allready exists
  a Popcorn.ini file together with the executable. All changes done to
  any program setting or user profile will NOT be saved when you quit
  Popcorn, and you will be warned about this when Popcorn is started
  from any write protected (or read only) media.
* Word wrapping in the Mail Editor can now be toggled on/off
  using the "Word Wrap" item on the Edit menu.
* Popcorn now accepts using IP addresses for the POP and SMTP servers
  (enter an IP address in the "POP Server" and/or "SMTP Server" fields
  in the User Profile manager)
* Popcorn can now redirect mail items you receive to one or more new
  recipients. Redirecting a mail item is almost like forwarding it,
  except that the mail is sent to the new recipient(s) EXACTLY like you
  received it (the originator address, date etc. is not changed).
  This feature is available through the Mail menu, or through the new
  redirect button on the toolbar (next to the forward button).
  PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS FEATURE IS EXPERIMENTAL!
* Popcorn now properly decodes ISO MIME Base64 encoded header fields
  (sometimes present in mail sent with Microsoft Outlook).
* Hyperlink URLs can now be turned off for the mail viewer and the
  mail editor, this has to be done by manually editing the Popcorn.ini
  file. Setting the "HyperlinkURLs" option to FALSE (under the
  "[PopcornSettings]" section) will turn off automatic hyperlinking of
  URLs.

Bug-fixes:
* Popcorn now remembers which tab was last displayed in the
  User Profiles Manager ("Identity & Servers" or "Settings")
  and restores this the next time the window is displayed.
* Popcorn now updates, shows and uses the correct path for
  "Save Outgoing" (automatic saving of sent mail items) in the
  Mail Editor if you compose, reply to or forward a mail item and
  then change the user profile before sending it.
* Fixed: Popcorn did not always set the correct button state
  for the Auto check button on the toolbar when changing the
  active profile.
* The checkboxes in the inbox are now a contained in a separate
  column
* Fixed: The Cc and Bcc fields in the mail editor did not allow input
  beyond the visible content area (no horizontal scrolling)
* New logo in the about box and program icon

  password" option in the User Profile Manager if you want Popcorn
  to prompt you for the password.
* Popcorn can now sort items in the inbox in ascending and descending order, either
  by clicking any of the column headers (from, subject etc) -- clicking the same

* Popcorn now has inbox header item hover high-light
* Header/inbox colums can now be re-ordered through drag and drop, the ordering
  is saved and restored when Popcorn is restarted
