  74.                          specified systems.
  75.

  131.                          which prevents JetMail from crunching an area

  137.                        
  138.                        - Keyword "MaxBuffer" replaced by "KeepMemory"

  141.                          to keep 200KB free. Example:
  142.                          
  143.                          KeepMemory   500
  144.                          
  145.                          This keeps 500KB free memory.
  146.                        
  147.                        - Old KAOS/Mag!x/MultiTOS problem fixed which

  156.                        - New JetStat version. Bugs with high message
  157.                          counts fixed. Areatags are now cut if being
  158.                          longer than the column size in ECHOMAIL.HIS
  159.                        
  160.                        - When creating message base filenames for

  164.                        - New area flags "-OriginalEcho <name>" to specify
  165.                          the name of the area under which the area is
  166.                          known to the network. So you can run Usenet's
  167.                          COMP.SYS.ATARI.ST under CSAST by defining:
  168.                          
  169.                          -OriginalEcho COMP.SYS.ATARI.ST

  173.                          long area names.
  174.                        
  175.                        - Daniel Roesen's NeST address has changed to

  180.                          
  181.                          USE-ALIAS <alias> <patterns...>
  182.                          
  183.                          This one advises JetMail to use <alias> as
  184.                          From-address in netmail messages destinated
  185.                          to systems which match the specified patterns.

  192.                          to disable the notice in the netmail that this

  195.                        
  196.                        - JetMail now forces setting up all three inbound

  246.                          to the boss of this point.
  247.                        
  248.                        - Areas in which messages to sysop were imported
  249.                          which were purged are not marked '*' in LED
