  23.                        - Superfluous spaces in echomail areatags are
  24.                          now removed and the sending system (NOT the
  25.                          originator of the message) gets a notification
  26.                          about this FTS violation.
  27.                        
  28.                        - JetMail now informs Semper if JM exported any

  46.                        - CrashOK bug fixed (didn't work if the link
  47.                          wasn't a point of your system or a point of
  48.                          the same boss system).
  49.                        
  50.                        - Removed AES message code. We hope that this
  51.                          fixes the problems occuring on some systems.
  52.                        
  53.                        - JetMail's TIC processor activated. JetMail

  65.                          Harrie Beuvink was so nice and sent us a
  66.                          program written by himself which converts

  138.                          SecureInbound   <path>

  141.                          JetMail wrote something like "There was no
  142.                          answer within 0 days" in has info message to
  143.                          the requesting system.

  145.                        - JetMail's TICKer maintains now a CRC database

  164.                          
  165.                          in CONFIG.JM. Defaults to 32KB. Using higher
  166.                          values could be dangerous for other programs
  167.                          interpreting the message length value in the
  168.                          message header as a signed value. Values
  169.                          greater than 64KB can't be used. This will

  176.                          wildcards are necessary/allowed.
  177.                        
  178.                        - New "light" version included. JETLIGHT.TTP
  179.                          has no AreaFix and FileFix functions and so
  180.                          it's very suitable for point systems.
  181.                        
  182.                        - JetMail now checks the password in TIC files.

  197.                        - If using AutoSend with wildcards in the file
  198.                          specification, JetMail will send now ALL
  199.                          matching files. Also, it will now MOVE the
  200.                          files to the file base, not copy them. Please
  201.                          check your batch files!
  202.                        
  203. 0.99beta14   05.02.95  - You can now define secondary TIC areas by

  209.                          files received in these secondary areas are

  218.                        
  219.                        - You can now switch the the File reminders
  220.                          generated by JetMail's TICK-Module on and off
  221.                          using
  222.                          
  223.                            %NOTIFY on/off
  224.                          
  225.                          in FileFix messages. If using "off", the link
  226.                          flag "NoTicNotify" is set for the requesting
  227.                          system.
  228.

  241.                          non-local areas.
  242.                        
  243.                        - MaxMsgLength was mis-documented. It takes KBs
  244.                          as parameter, not Bytes!!!
  245.                        
  246.                        - PACK doesn't react on local Fix messages

  259.                          that the "other side" is also using JetMail.
