- CHANGES IN VERSION 1.20
-
- -*-
- 1. Configurable Log Filename
-
- You can now specify any log file directory and filename at all.
- So you can include InfoMail's log file in the same directory as
- that of your other software, or even combine InfoMail's log file
- with other log files.
-
- 2. Configurable message size up to 64k
-
- Due to requests from users of InfoMail 1.11, the maximum size of
- documents has been increased. You can still specify a maximum
- messages size of less than this though, in which case larger
- documents will be split across several messages.
-
- 3. Option to keep outgoing error messages and notices
-
- Previously all outgoing messages such as document lists were
- sent with the Kill flag (or according to the 'Kill' setting in
- the configuration file for InfoMail 1.00). Now you can keep
- them if you like.
-
- 4. A document list search utility
-
- Users can search for a certain word in document tags and subject
- lines (but not document text files, though). Such documents
- must have the 'listed' flag set, or they won't appear. This is
- useful for systems with a lot of documents on various subjects.
-
- 7. Options to keep various types of inbound message
-
- In earlier versions of InfoMail all inbound requests and updates
- were deleted when processed. This version allows you to keep
- the messages, for diagnostic purposes or whatever.
-
- 8. All outgoing messages are sysop-configurable
-
- One of the most requested features for a new version of InfoMail
- was the ability to customise the outgoing document list. This
- version of InfoMail allows you to customise _all_ outgoing
- messages, such as update accept/reject messages, the output of
- the new document search feature, and other errors.
-
- 9. Multiple AKA's per installation
-
- Another frequently-requested feature was the ability to have
- more than one address for a single installation of InfoMail.
- Now, you can have as many addresses as you like.
-
- 10. Indexed (sorted) document list
-
- This makes it easier for sysops with a lot of documents to find
- the particular document they want to change. It also nicely
- orders the documents in outgoing document lists, and speeds up
- the program when identifying and loading documents.
-
- 11. Request passwords for added security
-
- Rather pointless in the author's opinion, since documents can be
- hidden from a document list, but included nevertheless because
- of a large number of requests from users.
-
- 12. Secondary document messages (useful for held file attaches)
-
- If a document is set up to create a message of any description
- on 'Hold', such as file attaches, a second message can be sent
- routed to inform the user making the request that a file is
- waiting for them to pick it up.
-
- 13. Optional monochrome 'colour' scheme
-
- The author now uses a monochrome screen :-(
-
- 14. Some extra macros, including two document list macros
-
- Macros are the way that document lists are included in the new
- customisable output messages, and in normal document messages
- now as well.
