EMailing List Pro
-----------------

Version 3.8 - 9th February 2002
-----------

* Fixed SMTP Authentication support
* If SMTP server doesn't allow Authentication, EMailing List Pro will now show
  the error code returned
* Corrected a few spelling mistakes
* Added a Remove Invalid Contacts command to the Contacts Menu
* Fixed a bug that didn't restore the main window's state (e.g. maximised)
* Optimised the Check for duplicates process when adding, pasting or importing
  new contacts - should be faster now
* Fixed a bug that didn't save the size of the Misc column properly
* Added Accelerators (Key shortcuts) for Send Range and Send Selected
  commands on the Tools menu
* Major bug fix: EMailing List Pro no longer takes over 2 minutes to close down or
  create a new document after having a list with over 20,000 contacts in -
  now takes ~ 2 seconds
* Related to the above bug fix, contacts now take half the previous time to be deleted
* Added a Remove Duplicates command to the Contacts Menu

Version 3.7 - 10th June 2001
-----------

  remove email addresses in any case, rather than just
  the case retrieved from the POP3 email

  that didn't load the logging type correctly from the

* The browse button next to the EMailing List Pro Folder
  text box now works correctly
* EMailing List Pro now puts 'charset="iso-8859-1"' in
  the header of text emails and text MIME sections.
  This should solve the problem of international characters
  (especially those with accents, etc) from being converted
  to standard English characters
* When pausing while sending mailing lists, EMailing List Pro
  now disconnects and reconnects to the SMTP server.
  This not only stops the problems of the connection timing out
  while pausing for long periods of time, but it also helps
  pausing become more effective to stop server overload
* Added an SMTP port setting to the Send Settings dialog
  which allows you to specify the port number EMailing List Pro
  should use for sending emails
* Added support for SMTP Authentication
* New document file format to accommodate the some of the above
  features
* Fixed major Import bug introduced in version 3.65.

Version 3.65 - 18th March 2001

* Re-wrote some sections of code, reducing the .exe size by
  47 kb
* The main text boxes for the message body in the Message
  Settings dialog and for the HTML Message source in the
  HTML Message Source dialog now have text limits of
  2 Mb, rather than 30 kb as previously.
  Note: You will need Windows NT or Windows 2000 to be
  able to enter more than 30 kb of text
* Send Settings dialog box now has a combo box instead
  of a text box for the SMTP server name which remembers
  what has been entered into it previously
* If the paths have not been set up for the logging options,
  EMailing List Pro will now automatically enter default
  paths that are valid, rather than using blank paths
  which caused the "an unnamed file was not
  found" errors if logging was enabled
* Added an option to the General tab of the Options dialog
  which allows you to set the default starting path for the
  Open and Save dialogs

Version 3.6 - 6th January 2001
-----------

* Fixed a major bug which didn't encode image attachments
  as images when using the Send Selected and Send Range
  commands, but encoded them as normal attachments

  how EMailing List Pro formats the recipient's name
  that appears in the To field of the email

  now have a check box to show whether the attachment

  only enabled when there is more than 1 contact in

  attachments didn't have a filename or a known document type
* Added Logging tab to Options dialog
* Implemented logging functionality
* Added text box to Other tab of Options dialog which allows
  you to modify the "This is a multi-part message in MIME
  format." message that recipients without MIME readable
  email clients will see
* Completely changed the way EMailing List Pro sends emails:
  EMailing List Pro used to connect to the SMTP server, then
  send the email message and then disconnect from the SMTP
  server for each contact - now it connections to the
  server, sends EVERY email, and then disconnects

  For small text-only emails, this can reduce the time it takes
  for mailing lists to be sent by over 65%, so it is now much more
  efficient at sending emails as it only connects and disconnects
  once per send session

  as it is no longer needed

  to commonly formal all contacts in a certain way

  and trailing white spaces (blank spaces)

  the Cancel button when sending mailing lists, and EMailing
  List Pro will respond, rather than wait until the pause
  time is up
* Added an Insert Image button to the HTML source dialog
  which allows you to easily insert the HTML code for an image
  from a list of images that currently exist in the File
  Attachments dialog
* Fixed a bug which didn't add contacts correctly when using
  the Update Contacts command. They were added to the list,
  but when you tried to edit or delete them, EMailing List Pro
  crashed
