- CHANGES IN 4.1
- -----------------------------------
-
- NEW FEATURES
- ------------
-
- Be sure to read the Whatsnew.pdf file which describes in detail what some of
- the new features are for Eudora Pro 4.1.
-
- * Background send and receive has been implemented. To see the actions
- taking place in the background, select Tools-Task Status. The
- Whatsnew.pdf, which is installed to the directory where Eudora is
- installed, contains a detailed description of how background sending and
- receiving of email works in Eudora.
-
- * Account Wizard has been revamped to provide more options such as the
- ability import settings, mail and address book information from
- Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express and Netscape Communicator.
-
- * Support for Apple Quicktime 3.0 is provided. This allows you to embed
- and view a huge number of image file formats directly in your email
- messages.
-
- * Support for shift-New and Wizard-based "Advanced" new personality.
-
- * Added support for parameter substitution in mailto: URL's:
- $Name$ for real name
- $Email$ for return address (without real name)
- $User$ for Only username portion of email address.
-
- * Better error message for outgoing messages that couldn't be sent because
- the recipient was invalid/denied. It now returns more information from
- the SMTP server.
-
- * If you use Leave Mail On Server (LMOS), then be aware that Eudora Pro
- 4.1 performs this task differently than previous versions. If you go
- back to Eudora Pro 4.0.x, then your LMOS mail will be re-downloaded.
- NOTE: You will not lose any of your mail.
-
- SECURITY
- --------
- This version inlcudes the fix for the potential security breach in Eudora
- Pro that could allow someone to maliciously send a file attachment to an
- e-mail causing files to erase or simply install a virus.
-
- We now give you additional options via the user interface to control
- executable code that may be present in some form in a message.
-
- * Tools|Options|Viewing mail|Allow executables in HTML content. This is
- OFF by default.
-
- * Tools|Options|Extra Warnings|Warn me when I launch a program from a
- message. This is ON by default.
-
- STARTUP/INTERFACE
- -----------------
- * The progress bar displays activity for sending/receiving mail based
- on bytes. For received messages, each message gets an equal slice and
- the progress within each slice is done based on the number of bytes
- received.
-
- * Added "SMTP Server(Outgoing)" field to the Getting Started category
- of the Options dialog.
-
- * Special|Forget password(s) now brings up a window to choose any or
- multiple personalities.
-
- * Implemented a EUDORA.INI switch to control the Overwrite mode.
- Setting "AllowOverwriteMode=0" makes sure that the overwrite mode can
- never be accidently activated. It is possible if using the CTRL-INS
- or SHIFT-INS to accidently switch from Insert to Overwrite mode if
- they keys are not released simultaneously.
-
- * Personalities can no longer be created using reserved DOS characters
- (like :/\ etc.).
-
- * Added new Type-To-Select feature which lets you type in a name in the
- mailbox TOC to select the first message received from that person.
-
- * Deleting a read message that is being edited now causes a prompt to be
- displayed before deletion.
-
- * A warning dialog now appears if the user tries to change a personality
- between IMAP and POP while active tasks are running.
-
- * A warning dialog now appears if a user tries to change the server
- configuration while active tasks are running.
-
- SEND/CHECK/FILTER MAIL
- ----------------------
- * Added new EUDORA.INI setting "NewMailUpdateFrequency", which defaults
- to 25. This is the setting that determines how many messages have to
- be initially spooled before post processing can begin.
-
- * Messages that have duplicate UIDLs are now logged in eudora.log if
- full logging is enabled.
-
- * Insert System Configuration now doesn't include win.ini and
- system.ini.
-
- * Eudora does not shut down a dial-up networking connection that it has
- not initiated. This behavior can be modified via the options for
- Advanced Network. The settings for hang-up after sending/receiving
- and disconnect on exit are only enabled in the case of eudora
- initiating the dial-up connection.
-
- * Added an option to unload the winsock.dll for trumpet winsock users
- under Tools|Options|Advanced Network.
-
- * Added a new EUDORA.INI setting "RasUseExistingConnection", which
- controls whether RAS should use an existing connection if one is
- available. The use of an existing setting is the default, as it was
- in previous versions of Eudora.
-
- * A personality cannot be deleted when active tasks belonging to it
- are running.
-
- * Fix for Chinese font with Chinese characters causing hang.
-
- * Fixed a symptom with the system timezone not being used when the
- timezone would not change for daylight savings - this only affected
- Windows NT.
-
- * Added a hidden EUDORA.INI setting ("MDNSendAddress", default to 0/off)
- that controls whether or not the actual address of the sender should
- be transmitted when doing a Message Disposition Notification (i.e.
- response to a read receipt). Helps get around a problem with some
- SMTP servers that try to reject spam by checking if the sender's
- address is in the same domain.
-
- EDITING/VIEWING/PRINTING MESSAGES
- ---------------------------------
- * Made change to outgoing message style to the following. If a message
- has some html markup that was typed in as the body of the message,
- such as when a person wants to email an HTML code snippet, then the
- message is forcibly saved as html. The html tags will then be marked
- up accordingly.
-
- * Fixed an issue where moving the focus to the preview pane would cause
- the last Undo action to be unavailable.
-
- * Fixed a problem where the sorting the mailbox by date caused some
- emails dates to be sorted wierd.
-
- * Paste as quotation now displays quoted text correctly when selecting
- multi-line text.
-
- * Header and footer information get displayed now when printing with
- the MS viewer (Internet Explorer versions 4.0 and later).
-
- * Fixed a symptom of HTML codes being displayed when replying to a
- formatted message using plain-text stationery.
-
- * The "ShowAllHeaders" optional entry in EUDORA.INI now displays all
- headers in a message window when set to a non-zero value.
-
- * Invalid GMT offsets causing incorrect dates are now processed better
- by Eudora.
-
- IMAP
- ----
- * The Mailbox tree and the Mailbox menu are now identical in how they
- display folders and mailboxes.
-
- * Modified the "Find..." behavior when an IMAP personality is present.
- If the search began in a local (POP) mailbox, only local mailboxes are
- searched. If the search began in an IMAP folder, the search is
- limited to the IMAP account containing the mailbox where the search
- began. Added a new EUDORA.INI setting called "SearchAllImapAccounts",
- which if set to "1", the search will loop through all accounts
- regardless of where the search was started.
-
- * IMAP mailboxes are now correctly sorted in the Mailbox pull-down menu.
-
- * Mailboxes now get bolded even if "Tools -> Options -> Getting
- attention -> open mailbox" is not set.
-
- * Fixed an IMAP issue with blanks in mailbox names. Eudora now removes
- leading and trailing blanks when creating mailboxes - however, these
- are recognized in previously created mailboxes.
-
- * Fixed a symptom of check mail not working if mailboxes were not
- downloaded locally.
-
- * Filters with criterion of Header To: (or other related ones like
- Reply to:) contains should now be functional.
-
- * Added support for IMAPPort INI setting. The entry MUST be in the
- section for that personality in the INI file.
-
- * Fixed IMAP timezone problem - reply caused incorrect time displayed
- in Attribution (At xxxxx, you wrote...).
-
- * The size of a message on the server is used for IMAP TOC (Table of
- Content) summaries as the value of the size.
-
- * Changed the way mailbox bolding in IMAP works. Parent with a child
- that has unread msgs no longer un-bolded even if itself has no unread
- msgs.
-
- ADDRESS BOOK/DIRECTORY SERVICES
- -------------------------------
- * Identical nicknames in different address books are now handled better
- when the nickname is selected from the address book.
-
- * Fixed a symptom of Eudora hanging with use of address book entries
- not ending with a newline.
-
- * Implemented handling of multiple values per attribute for LDAP
- databases.
-
- SPELL CHECKING
- --------------
- * Added eudora.ini setting "InteractiveSpellCheck=0" to get the cool
- spell checking (red double-underlining) by default. Holding down
- <shift> toggles to the other mode of spell checking.
-
- -----------
- LIMITATIONS
- -----------
- * The import settings/mail is not supported for Outlook 97 and
- Netscape 3.x versions.
-
- * Offline support for IMAP is not implemented.
-
- * The file browser tabbed window does not display system dll's.
-
