UPGRADE INFORMATION:
====================
If you currently are using FMail version 1.02, do the following:
- Backup you config files and your executables.
- Copy the new executables over the old ones.
- Start FSetup and go into the Area Manager and the Node
Manager. Save changes when exiting.
IMPORTANT: Some programs that access the FMail config files may
not be able to do so any more after the upgrade. With the
AutoExport feature, you can export FMail config files in the old
format to another directory thus enabling other programs to keep
working properly.
THE MOST IMPORTANT NEW FEATURES IN FMAIL 1.22
=============================================
- There's a new Global function in AreaMgr. It's also
available in the Node Manager as well! You first make the
desired changes in the record. Changed fields get an
asterisk in front of the field name. Fields with an asterisk
are the only fields that will be update in de selected
records. You can also turn the asterisk by pressing INS and
turn it off by pressing DEL. In the Area Manager you can use
the groups to select areas. In the Node Manager you can use
node numbers with wildcards to select records.
- SEEN-BYs are now stored in the right JAM subfields again.
- FMail Pack zone number bug fixed. This bug caused FMail not
to see the right zone number of netmail messages if they
were not from the main AKA's zone and did not contain an
INTL kludge.
- I think the netmail import problem is fixed too. I suspect
it was caused by the zone number problem which also caused
FMail Pack to use the wrong zone number.
- The 32-bit versions of FMail do not require FMLX_ARC any
more.
- The problem with the Other AKAs option in the AreaMgr has
been fixed.
- ProBoard export fixed.
- List general config fixed (gave an exception if Proboard was
selected in FSetup).
- The RA 2.5 AutoExport now exports the area number correctly.
- FMail now marks scanned JAM messages as deleted/sent.
- FTools POST file attach bug has been fixed.
- The maximum size of JAM subfields has been increased from
4096 to 8192.
- The Areafix exception bug in 32 bit versions of FMail has
been fixed.
