Amiga Elm History (original HWR-Mail)
=======================================
Version 7.138 - 7.150:
- If folder could not be opened, lock on folder was not removed
so that access from other programs was denied until reboot or
next successful call to Elm.
- For built-in pager: made "D" (shift d) the opposite of "d" in
combination with the SkipIndex variable. If SkipIndex is on,
"d" skips the index screen and "D" does not. If SkipIndex is off,
"d" return to index screen and "D" skips it.
Version 7.128 - 7.137: (only for registered users)
- Changed default for "WarnReturnCode" from 1 to 10, because most users
never read manuals or history files (like this one).
- Some minor modifications in documentation (AppendSignature,
Iconify command key).
- Fixed some problems with re-sync ('$') and edit ('e') which were
introduced with the new read-only-new-msgs-on-folder-change-feature.
[Martin Jahner]
- After uniconify Elm's window is brought to front.
[Christian Stelter]
- Made Escape-key an alias for Control-C to abort "q"uit and e"x"it.
[Mike A. McAngus]
- Updated scripts "EncryptMsg" and "DecryptMsg".
[thanks to Ignatios Souvatzis and Peter Simons]
Version 7.118 - 7.127: (only for registered users)
- Some further enhancements to "SkipIndex" and skip-to-next-message
feature.
- Fixed bug with option "-z" which didn't override "QuitEmpty" from
.elm/elmrc file correctly. Now it does ;-)
- More intelligent 2-phase checking of folder changes allows much more
faster movement on main index screen and avoids scatter load of new
messages.
- Small changes to options menu.
Version 7.1 - 7.117: (only for registered users)
- New design for "send-off" prompt when in terminal mode.
New switch to (not) archive out-going mail.
- Fixed bug with static string (was too small, a relict from the
past) when calling Metamail, which could cause Enforcer hits
if the Content-Type header field was larger then expected.
Now replaced with a dynamic string ;-)
[Klaus Heinz]
- Removed dozens of fseek()'s and ftell()'s, especially when reading in
mail folders. You folders are now read in almost half the time.
Envoy users may notice speed increase up to ten times (compared
with previous versions).
- Optimized search function (key '/')... is faster now.
- Some minor changes in documentation.
- Environment variable "HOME_ELM" offically documented now.
- Iconify/Zoom-Gadget gone, use Amiga-i instead.
- Iconify allowed only on main index screen.
- Rework of window refresh code.
- If new messages arrive, AmigaElm won't re-read the complete folder
any longer, but only the newly arrived messages at the end of the
folder. Thus, you should not edit the message contents of the
folder while Elm is running... Elm won't recognize this any longer
(because Elm does only consistency checks for the message offsets,
not for the contents).
If you want to edit the folder (in any way) while Elm is running,
use the built-in edit function (key 'e') which causes Elm to re-
read the complete folder.
- AmigaElm now automatically tries to remember last selected message
after re-read of folder.
- When in built-in pager: key 'n' and some other keys (eg, ' ' and 'd')
immediately jump to next undeleted message without displaying index
main screen. (see also new variable "SkipIndex")
- New in .elm/elmrc: "SkipIndex". If set to "No" and in internal pager,
only key 'n' skips to next undeleted message without displaying index
main screen.
Version 6.20 - 6.24:
- New in .elm/elmrc: "WarnReturnCode". When launching external programs
(eg, sendmail), AmigaElm warns you (with a requester) if the return
code (RC) of the program is "WarnReturnCode" or higher. If the RC is
less "WarnReturnCode", AmigaElm ignores it and continues processing
without warning.
[Peter Simons]
- New section "External Programs" in Elm.guide file.
Describes utilities in "c" directory.
- New section in documentation about AmigaElm and TCP/IP (Internet).
Hints for configuration. Tips & Tricks. Some answers to common
problems.
Version 6.1 - 6.19: (only for registered users)
- S:UUConfig and uulib:Config don't need to exist any longer,
especially useful for IP-users (AmiTCP, AS225 etc).
- New in .elm/elmrc: "AppendSignature", do you want to append the
signature always, never or only if you're not replying to a mail.
This makes old config variable "NoSigOnReply" obsolete.
[Alexander Aulbach]
- A "Metamail-Reply" (shift-m) in an empty folder could cause problems.
[Dan Cannon]
- Experimental RFC1522 handling (see V5.10-5.42) now case-insensitive.
[Peter Simons]
- New in .elm/elmrc: "MetaMail", do you want to start MetaMail on
MIME messages always, never or should AmigaElm ask before starting
MetaMail. The env variable "NoMetaMail" is obsolete.
- Improved ^L (formfeed, ctrl-l) handling again.
- A "From " line followed by a second "From " line (generated by
some brain-dead mail-list software) is now recognized as beginning
of a new mail message.
[Rodney Hester]
- If started in terminal mode, AmigaElm doesn't run MetaMail in its
own window (see also "IOWindow").
[Carlos Amezaga]
- New in .elm/elmrc: "IOWindow" sets characteristics of console I/O
windows (eg, for MetaMail). This variable isn't really new... it's
there for versions, but I forgot to document it ;-)
- New default for "IOWindow", AUTO and WAIT added.
- In terminal mode, before launching programs (eg, MetaMail), console
(or whatever your I/O stream is ;-) is set to cooked (non-raw) mode.
Version 5.10 - 5.42:
- Now when launching programs, AmigaElm checks return code and
pops up requester if command wasn't found or returned != 0.
[Kai 'wusel' Siering]
- New script "DecodeNeXTmail" decodes NeXTmail and shows
contents in raw format.
- Some experimental RFC1522 handling (special chars within header) for
incoming mail. Please, don't expect this to be a full-blown RFC1522
support - IT IS NOT. And you're still NOT ALLOWED to use special
chars (eg, 8-bit-chars) within the header of outgoing mail.
- Special chars in own realname of outgoing mail are now automatically
encoded according to RFC1552. You're still NOT ALLOWED to use special
chars (eg, 8-bit-chars) within other header fields of outgoing mail.
- Improved ^L (formfeed, ctrl-l) handling.
[Stefan Scholl]
- If Elm runs in its own window and is iconified, the close gadget is
no longer ignored. It will exit Elm (w/o saving the folder) like it
does in un-iconified state.
[David P. Duggan]
- Title bar displays current page number and total number of pages.
(proportional font is recommended ;-)
- If in iconified state, window title was wrong sometimes.
[David P. Duggan] [still doesn't work... sigh, -amk]
- New menu entry (with shortcut) for iconifying Elm's window.
[David P. Duggan]
- A "From " line followed by a ">From " line (generated by some
mail-list software) is now recognized as beginning of a new
mail message.
[Peter Simons, Michael B. Smith, Christiaan Keet]
- Keeping of old UID/GID of folder had never worked. Works now!
[Ingolf Koch]
Version 5.1 - 5.9: (only for registered users)
- Fixed bug: "Send-off Window" didn't always open on same screen
as Elm's main window (but on default screen).
- On change folder (key 'c') status flags of messages in current
folder (recognized by its message-ids) are no longer preserved.
Status flags are only kept when resyncing (re-read) current folder.
[Allen J. Newton]
- On index screen, command key "=" jumps to first message in folder.
[Allen J. Newton]
- Command keys "j" and "k" now skip over deleted messages, "J" and "K"
do not (like Unix-Elm). Keys "j/J/k/K" will also work from within
built-in pager.
[Allen J. Newton]
- Environment variables LINES and COLUMNS override window bounds
from Amiga console.device.
(if env vars are set, no CSI sequence is sent)
- Bounce-Flag for mails wasn't saved.
[Christian Kaben]
- MIME-Encoding "7bit" (Send-off Window) now re-enabled to strip off
8th bit in messages. German umlauts (äöüßÄÖÜ) will be converted.
[Christian Kaben]
Version 4.93 - 4.159:
- Support for AmigaOS 1.x dropped.
By now, you need at least AmigaOS 2.0 to start AmigaElm.
- New sorting criterion: "Receiver"
[Michael 'Mick' Hohmann]
- In Group-Reply, double entries (To, Cc, From) will be deleted.
[Kai 'wusel' Siering]
- New command 'E' (Extended Group-Reply), old command 'E' (Export) gone.
[Christian Stelter]
- Corrected searching order for env-vars HOST(NAME), DOMAIN(NAME)
and USER(NAME) according to the manual. The vars with NAME
appended are only used if the one without NAME doesn't exist.
- Elm exits if started in terminal-mode into background (run).
- More descriptive error message if OldLocking is off but
OwnDevUnit.library is not installed.
- New in .elm/elmrc: "ColorBackground", "ColorText", "ColorIntuition"
and "ColorPrompt". Old keyword "Color" is now obsolete. See manual
for conversion of old color values to new ones.
[Kai 'wusel' Siering]
- New in .elm/elmrc: "CryptMode", set default encryption mode for
outgoing mail (Send-off Window).
[Peter Simons]
- Encryption now supports three custom settings.
- Keywords "Screen-*" in .elm/elmrc now also allowed without
leading "Screen-"
- In manual (Elm.guide): cleaned up example .elm/elmrc file
- New shells (command "!") now opened within dimensions of window,
not screen.
- Fixed Enforcer hit(s) when loading non-empty folder, deleting all
messages, resync'ing (empty folder) and then filling this folder
with messages so that Elm has to resync again.
[David Duggan]
- New keys: "J"/"K" skips to next/previous undeleted message
- New file .elm/smartsignature, list of addresses (AmigaDOS patterns,
one per line) -- if the pattern matches on one of the receipients
(To,Cc,Bcc) then Elm appends no signature by default.
[Matt Weatherford]
- Cleaned up documentation for commands S)ave, W)rite and C)opy.
[David Jameson]
- Folder loaded with option -f (or FOLDER) was accidently deleted
on exit if KeepEmpty=No, AlwaysKeep=No and all messages were read.
[Hartmut Kuehn]
- Key-shortcuts in "Send-off Window" for Okay/Edit/Cancel now work
case-insensitive.
[S.P.Zeidler]
Version 4.1 - 4.93: (only for registered users)
- Warning with domainized HOSTNAME and non-empty DOMAINNAME now
only in verbose mode. (AmiTCP seems to be broken)
- Search command '/' crashed machine if used under AmigaOS 1.x.
(search command calls AmigaOS 2.x pattern-matching functions)
[John Dormer]
- Totally rewritten code for getting char in terminal (raw) mode.
(this fixes a bug in SAS/C's rawcon() if redirection is active)
[Carlos Amezaga]
- When in terminal mode: file notification (if folder has changed)
now finally works, and CTRL-C (break) is detected.
[Ralph Babel]
- Now DOMAINNAME may start either _with_ period ('.') or _without_ one
(or may be empty).
- If connected to an Amiga terminal, Elm no longer needs LINES and
COLUMNS. Terminal's width and height are now checked with WINDOW
STATUS REQUEST (Amiga specific CSI sequence).
- New in .elm/elmrc: "WBR_Timeout" (in microseconds) sets maximum
response time for terminal to answer WINDOW STATUS REQUEST (for
window bounds). Defaults to 1 (for local usage), must be set
to higher value for remote connections. Only used in terminal
mode.
- New scripts "EncryptMsg", "DecryptMsg" and "DecryptFolder".
Thanks to Peter Simons.
- If outgoing mail is encrypted, saving is disabled by default (in
Send-off Window) for security reasons. Because of technical
reasons those mail is saved as entered in editor without
modifications selected in Send-off Window. But be careful,
you'll have the un-encrypted plain text on your hard-disk!
- Pipe command "|" now works also in terminal mode.
- New in .elm/elmrc: FolderDirectory, starting directory when
changing folder (command key 'c') with file-requester, default
is "uumail:".
[Allen J. Newton]
Version 3.94 - 3.99:
- Mail now marked as read when reading encrypted mail (key 'y').
[Peter Simons]
- Forgot to check for V37 when calling Metamail.
(reading MIME-Mail with Metamail from within Elm under V33/V34
crashed machine because of V37-calls)
[John Dormer]
- Status-display when folder is (re-) sorted.
[Stefan Scholl]
- Two different SECURE modes, level 1 for use with MultiUser (muFS),
level 2 for full security from within AmiElm. Read manual for
details (list of inacessible functions).
- Accidently disabled security mode "Encrypt" in Send-off Window.
[Stefan G. Berg]
Version 3.72 - 3.93: (only for registered users)
- Now "change folder" disabled in secure mode also.
- Lockfiles weren't deleted on "change folder" if the folder
hasn't changed and didn't need to be saved.
- Archive-Flag in Send-off Window was ignored. Mails were always
saved to the specified folder, except when the command line
option "-a/NOARC" was set.
[Peter Simons]
- Fixed corrupted warning-output to CLI if HOSTNAME contains FQDN.
- The guessing of optimum MIME-encoding mode introduced in 3.1-3.73
didn't work correctly if "Append Signature" was selected when
sending off mail
[Martin Jahner]
- Fixed re-sync bug if updated folder was empty and KeepEmpty=No.
Fixed documentation (Elm.guide) on "KeepEmpty".
[Martin Jahner]
- If folder need's to re-sync then any outstanding commands
(eg, entered within internal pager) will be ignored.
[Matt Weatherford]
- Source code now "indent" clean.
(some warnings on first run, but no errors)
- New placeholder "%S" for pipe command '|' pipes each mail separately.
[Kai 'wusel' Siering]
- Search command '/' now works in terminal mode also.
[Martin Jahner]
- Change folder command 'c' in terminal mode could crash machine.
[Martin Jahner]
- Content-Type is now "application/octet-stream" for "base64" encoding.
[Kai 'wusel' Siering]
Version 3.1 - 3.71: (only for registered users)
- new in .elm/elmrc: AuxEditor, editor for terminal mode
[Ralph-Thomas Aussem]
- new command line option "SEC/SECURE/-sec" enables secure mode,
so that users cannot start external programs, shells etc.
[Christian Stelter]
- fixed display bug (index screen) when folder was non-empty
but contained no messages
[Kai 'wusel' Siering]]
- new in .elm/elmrc (and options screen): FilenameBuffer,
not only remember last directory when saving but also filename
[Thorsten Ebers]
- new file .elm/smartheader, list of addresses (AmigaDOS patterns, one
per line) -- if the pattern matches on one of the receipients
(To,Cc,Bcc) then Elm builds a small ("smart") header
- now aliases are expanded after every edit session
- Elm.guide is now designed for V40 AmigaGuide
- new in .elm/elmrc: ReturnReceipt/ReturnView, specify
default addresses for Return-Receipt-To/Return-View-To
(if other than $USER@$HOST$DOMAIN)
[Steve Weatherford]
- new option "H/HOME/HOMEDIR/-h/-home/-homedir", override $HOME
[Henning Schmiedehausen]
- new choice "Security" in Send-off-window, new command key "y"
in built-in pager for decryption of current message; two new
variables in .elm/elmrc: Encrypt, Decrypt
- new in .elm/elmrc: Encrypt/Decrypt, programs for En-/Decryption
- Elm now generates own Message-Id, and trust me: this Message-Id
is absolutely unique!
- some versions of Dillon-sendmail have problems when Message-Id
is already present in header (second Message-Id is generated),
use "NoMessageId" in .elm/elmrc to disable Elm's Message-Id
- some optimization in quoted-printable encoding.
- MIME-charset iso-8859-1 left out if body only contains us-ascii chars.
- Elm guesses default for MIME-encoding mode (not perfect but usable).
- Elm doesn't about anymore if Domain(Name) is unset.
- Domain(Name) is ignored if Node(Name)/Host(Name) is already
domainized (contains a period '.'), and warning is printed.
- If an explicit folder is specified Elm does not ask if you want to
store read mail to ReceivedFolder and on "Quick quit" Elm keeps
read mail in current folder (doesn't store to ReceivedFolder).
- "Quit" and "Exit" are now interruptable with CTRL-C.
[Reinhard Luebke]
- removed bogus output in index screen when a mail had no "Date: "
- now messages are not tagged urgent if "Priority: " is equal to
"normal" or "non-urgent"
Version 2.188 - 2.253:
- terminal mode changes: send off menu more verbose, send-only mode
- if you specify a folder (via shell option) read mail is
always kept in this folder when writing
- new alias expansion allows up to 20 levels
- Send Off requester: unavailable gadgets ghosted
[Henning Schmiedehausen]
- increased default notification delay from 10 to 60 seconds
(automatic re-read when folder has changed)
- now supports environment variable "HOME", holds directory
where Elm searches first for .elm/elmrc, .elm/elmheaders,
.elm/aliases, .signature etc.
- corrected mistake in Elm's template
- new config variable "CancelledFolder" (.elm/elmrc) where
cancelled mails are saved
- internal pager: character codes 0-31 and 128-159 printed as '×'
- new choice for "FilenameOffer" (.elm/elmrc): REPLYTO,
useful for saving mailing-lists in one file
[Thorsten Ebers]
Version 2.155 - 2.187: (only for registered users)
- Elm keeps old protection/owner/group bits when writing folder
(OS 2.x only)
- terminal mode changes: only one color, no blinking, title line,
$LINES, $COLUMNS, some minor bug fixes, raw-mode, re-display,
newline -> carriage return + newline (double fix), bounce,
formfeed
- MIME-Coding set to default if replying to base64-coded mail
- period (.) at beginning of line quoted in quoted-printable mode
(MIME) to avoid conflicts with buggy SMTP systems
- "move to received folder" didn't work in previous versions
[Marc Duponcheel]
- status-flag "deleted" is now saved
- now possible to start Elm for users without (existing) folder
[Pablo Ramirez-Cano, Kai 'wusel' Siering]
- small hack for CTRL-L ;-)
Version 2.100 - 2.154: (not public)
- bug fixed: OS 2.x doesn't know about scaled checkboxes
[Christian Stelter]
- there was a bug in the documentation for "ShanghaiWindows":
it's not true that Shanghai works for all screens;
your screen must be the default public screen !!
[Bernd, bad1679@ultb.isc.rit.edu]
- OwnDevUnit.library was opened multiple times and never closed
[Klaus A. Seistrup]
- fixed bug in index display when replying/forwarding tagged messages
- Elm allocates its own stack (if <50000), so there's no need any
more to set stack to 50000 before running Elm
[Peter Simons]
- fixed bug with double "From:" line (only if FromHeader=Yes)
- new option "TERMINAL": input from stdin, output to stdout
Version 2.44 - 2.100: (not public)
- new command "/" (index screen) searches for pattern in folder
- previous command "/" now "\" (extra shell)
- fixed overflow bug (32 bit long int) in title display,
found by Kai 'wusel' Siering (nothing unusual ;-)
- paging on index screen now remembers relative position on page
Version 2.35 - 2.43: (only for registered users)
- accidently quoted "$FROMUSER" instead of "$FROMREAL"
(see .elm/elmrc:Sendmail)
[Henning Schmiedehausen]
- percentage display in title bar when loading/saving folder
Version 2.4 - 2.34: (not public)
- new keyword "$TOALL" for "Rmail" (see .elm/elmrc)
[Kai 'wusel' Siering]
- background pattern for send-off requester
Version 2.1 - 2.3: (not public)
- changed version/revision scheme, version string now follows
Amiga User Interface Style Guide
[Hartmut Goebel]
Version 1.20: (not public)
- removed two Enforcer hits when starting Elm with "Elm -f"
[Andreas 'Leguan' Geist]
- more sophisticated window positioning (if not using own screen)
on overscanned screens (omit Top-/LeftEdge or set to -1)
- more robust when reading non-mailfolder files
[Martin Kuhne, Hartmut Goebel]
- if keywords are missing/wrong Elm names the appropiate .elm/elmrc file
[Henning Schmiedehausen]
- if options are missing/wrong Elm is now a little bit more verbose
[Kai 'wusel' Siering]
- HOST, DOMAIN, USER searched before HOSTNAME, DOMAINNAME, USERNAME
- one more sorta MIME mail which can be handled internally now
[Kai 'wusel' Siering]
- new variable $NICKNAME for Reply/ForwardIntroduction with
fallback to $FIRSTNAME etc. (nick = string between " `" and "' "
or between " '" and "' ")
[inspired by Kai 'wusel' Siering]
- Elm processes tagged msgs in the order they were tagged
(reply, forward, pipe, write/save)
[Kai 'wusel' Siering]
- new "Send off" requester/window (OS 2.x only, needs GadTools)
- now wrong Content-Length is only reported when ReadContentLength=Yes
(this redefines the current meaning of ReadContentLength)
- bug fixed: Elm's window always opened on "Workbench" screen,
never on default pub screen nor on specified screen
(PubScreenName/SCREEN)
- filename where outgoing mail is archived now editable (header menu)
[Alan Beale + Randy Gault]
- fixed another scrolling bug (but still kinda "broken")
- major speedup for saving folder (ca. 200%)
- "SendmailVersion" in .elm/elmrc now obsolete,
use "SendMail", "RMail" and "FromHeader" instead
- fixed Enforcer hit when PipeDefault was undefined
- fixed bug in quoted-printable encoding when last line of message
was exactly 74 chars long and not terminated with linefeed
- new command line option "NOARC" (NA, -a), don't archive outgoing
mail in SentArchive (though it's editable but totally ignored);
useful when sending binaries via redirection (eg, "elm enc=base64
noarc s=binary.lha amk@zikzak <binary.lha" or "uuencode binary.lha
binary.lha | elm enc=none noarc s=binary.lha amk@zikzak"
Version 1.19:
- Yeah, I love SAS/C! Elm didn't run under AmigaOS 1.x, cause
of SAS' Auto-OpenLibrary "feature" ;-) Fixed.
[Dave Wieringa]
- Forgot to check for GadToolsBase -- all versions since 1.14
crashed unter AmigaOS 1.x. Fixed that, too.
Version 1.18:
- naaaahhh, found (and removed) an (harmless) Enforcer hit
when using the internal pager for messages w/o subject
(Am I the only one using Enforcer in his S:User-Startup!? ;-)
- Elm warns if specified pager cannot be found
(helpful for metamail)
- added version string for "uident"
- fixed bug in message sorting (by subject)
- fixed bug (wrong return code) in external pager (incl. metamail)
[Kai 'wusel' Siering]
- fixed bug in h)eader command
- removed another Enforcer hit (when "Date: " was missing)
- support for "env:Signature" and "Signature" in .elm/elmrc
[Henning Schmiedehausen]
- Elm sets subject to "no subject (file transmission)" if no
subject was given and something was redirected/piped into Elm
[Harald Mayr]
Version 1.17:
- if "Env:NoMetaMail" is set Elm asks you whether to use
Metamail for MIME messages or not
- r)eply recognizes "Apparently-From:" (after "Reply-To:" and "From:")
[Kai 'wusel' Siering]
- again internal pager, sigh... fixed bugs in line/page-up handling
[Kai 'wusel' Siering]
Version 1.16:
- "In-Reply-To" now follows RFC guidelines
[Ralph Babel]
- fixed bug in h)eader-mode when displaying MIME messages
- setting "Save-Mode" flag when using file requester (ASL) for writing
- new in .elm/elmrc: "Screen-DisplayID" (default: clone workbench)
- fixed bug in internal pager (sometimes displayed message twice)
- summary of pass-through commands within internal pager:
e,o,p,s,t,w,|,!,?
- fixed bug in Content-Length calculating for base64 encoding
- fixed another bug with Content-Length, wasn't re-calculated
after re-editing a message
- forgotten in the 1.14 text: support for numeric keypad (lil'
bit like cursor keys) in index (main) screen and internal pager
- now Elm can be run with empty folder, see also:
new in .elm/elmrc: "QuitEmpty" (default: no)
new CLI option: "-z"/"NOZERO"/"NZ"
- I'm now trying to name the persons who send me bug reports, ideas, ...
- removed enforcer hits when Elm was called with an empty folder
[thanks to Harri Pesonen]
- bug fixed, "RequestReturnView" (.elm/elmrc) never worked before ;-)
[thanks to Clemens Nill]
- flag "Screen-Interlace" from .elm/elmrc is obsolete for AmigaOS 2.x
- textual error report if OpenScreen() fails (see RKM Libraries)
- internal pager: added "b)ounce"
[Kai 'wusel' Siering]
- better handling of tabs and newlines in subject-line (index + pager)
[Kai 'wusel' Siering]
- more reliable requester placement (OS 2.0 only)
[Kai 'wusel' Siering]
- extra switch for MIME coding in "Send off" requester
[initial idea by Kai 'wusel' Siering]
- compiled with SAS/C 6.00 (some hacks necessary cause of SAS/C-bugs)
- Elm.guide now is for AmigaOS 3.0 version of AmigaGuide
(this causes some minor layout bugs with older versions of
AmigaGuide -- blame Commodore for that, not me!)
- now MIME coding in "Send off" requester defaults to
codind mode of original mail
- now cursor-keys do work with shift/alt
- new in .elm/elmrc: "KeepEmpty" (default: yes)
do not delete empty mailbox file if there's no mail in it
Version 1.15:
- better support for "MIME" (multi-media mail, see RFC1341)
a) internal pager supports text/plain (us-ascii + iso-8859-1),
7bit, 8bit, binary, quoted-printable
b) reply/forward/mail/save/write/print support sending of text/plain
(iso-8859-1), 7bit, 8bit, binary, quoted-printable, base64
c) two external programs "enbase64" and "debase64" for
encoding and decoding
d) new in .elm/elmrc: "MimeCoding" (default off)
e) doesn't need "MIME-Version:" keyword
- with ShowSignature=No always displayed one line too much ("-- \n")
- default for "ShowSignature" is now "No"
- fixed font bug in "show h)eader" command
Version 1.14: (not public)
- Amiga Elm is still shareware
- default for "FilenameOffer" (.elm/elmrc) is now "USER"
- default for "PrefixString" (.elm/elmrc) is now "> "
- default for "ReceivedFolder" (.elm/elmrc) is now "uumail:mail.received"
- default for "Editor" (.elm/elmrc) is now "ed"
- default for "ShanghaiWindows" (.elm/elmrc) is now "No"
- default for "TopDownScrolling" (.elm/elmrc) is now "Yes"
- defaults for "Screen-Height/Width" are now
GfxBase->NormalDisplayColumns/Rows
- dropped environment support for OS 1.3 (and below)
- local environment is searched before global environment (OS 2.0 only)
- fixed memory leak in f3.c:parse_arpa_from()
- Elm now handles the case when the "device <xyz> is full" requester
pops up and the user selects "Cancel"; folder remains unchanged instead
of being deleted
(nevertheless: this requester is meant to remove some files from the
device and to select "Retry" after that -- NOT "Cancel" !!)
- "change folder" now saves old folder before loading new one

Version 0.30:

Amiga Write und Read-Routinen - dadurch koennen die Tasten direkt
ausgwertet werden - man muss nicht mehr <RETURN> nach jeder Aktion
druecken.
- Blaettern geht nun auch mit den Cursortasten.
- Bildschrimhandling verbessert.
- Abspeicherroutine bei Quit beschleunigt.
Version 0.21 - 0.29:
- gab es nicht, da mir die Umstellung der BS Ein- und Ausgabe (V0.30)
wichtig genug war, eine eigene Zehnerstelle zu bekommen.
Version 0.20:
- Neue Optionen fuer uulib:Config : 'H' : ist dies Flag gesetzt, wird
beim Lesen der Mail der komplette Header angezeigt; 'S' : ist dieses
Flag gesetzt, wird die Signatur immer angezeigt, ist es nicht ge-
setzt, so wird versucht, die Signatur nicht anzuzeigen.
- Kleinere Codeaenderungen
- Es wird versucht, den Realnamen in der From-Spalte des Hauptmenues
anzuzeigen.
- Die Speicherverwaltung wurde verbessert: frueher wurde jedes mal,
wenn die Mailbox neu gelesen wurde, neuer Speicher fuer die
diversen Headerstrings angefordert und nicht mehr freigegeben -
wenn das Programm lange lief und die Mailbox oefters eingelesen wurde
gingen jedesmal ca. 100-200 Bytes pro Mail verloren, die erst nach
Programmende wieder freigegeben wurden.
Version 0.19:
- Kleinen Fehler beim Abspeichern der X-Flags behoben
- Wenn in uulib:Config in der hwr-Mail Zeile das Flag 'R' gesetzt ist,
wird, falls in der Mail 'Return-Receipt-To' vorkommt, eine Lese-
bestaetigung an diese Adresse gesandt. Dies geschieht nur beim ersten
Lesen der Mail, ausser wenn der Mailreader 'illegal' via X oder ^C
verlassen wird.
- Wenn in uulib:Config in der hwr-Mail Zeile das Flag 'W' gesetzt ist,
wird in den Mailheader die Zeile
'Return-Receipt-To: <user>@<node>.<domain>
eingefuegt - man erhaelt dann vom Empfaenger (manchmal) eine Nachricht,
dass die Mail gelesen wuurde.
- Mit 'O' im Hauptmenue koennen die Werte fuer 'ReturnReceipt'(R) und
'WantReturn(W) aus hwr-Config temporaer geaendert werden - das Config-
File wird nicht veraendert.
Version 0.18c:
- uulib:Config wird ausgewertet.
- Beim Einlesen wird das erste From: und Subject: etc. benutzt, gab
falsche Angaben, wenn fehlerhafte Mail gebounced war.
- Beim Abspeichern wird die X-Flags-Zeile nur noch einmal pro Artikel
geschrieben.
- Beim Verlassen des Programms werden die Flags immer geschrieben, ausser
beim 'Notausstieg via CTRL-C oder 'X' im Hauptmenue.
- Neue Funktion 'E' - speichert die Mail in einer Datei in
'UULIB:Folders' ab
- Neue Funktion 'P' - druckt die gerade ausgewaehlte Mail
- Das Messagedatum wird auf dem Auswahlbildschirm mit angezeigt.
Version 0.18b:
- das Einlesen der Mailbox wurde beschleunigt.
- Die mit der Mail abgespeicherten Flags werden beim naechsten
Start mit eingelesen und wieder dargestellt.
Version 0.18a:
- der Username kann uebergeben werden; uulib:Config wird noch nicht
ausgewertet.
Version 0.18:
- das User-Interface wurde verbessert und ELM-like gemacht.
Version 0.12-0.17:
- Verbesserung der vorhandenen Funktionen
- Implementierung neuer Funktionen
Version 0.11:
- Umstieg von Aztec3.6a auf auf Dice wegen ANSI-C
Version 0.01-0.10:
- Grundfunktionen noch in Aztec 3.6a
