REVISION HISTORY

IMAIL 1.21 - Revision History
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This document contains a more or less complete list of the changes
made in IMAIL since the release of version 1.20. The changes are given
in chronological order, if it's of any interest.
Changes are marked as follows:
+ New feature
- Minor change
! Bug fix
NOTE: When upgrading from version 1.20, please run IMSETUP before
IMAIL. Enter the program and then exit it, saving changes. This will
store the product codes used to identify Type 2+ mail processors.
Please also delete IMAIL.DP before running IMAIL.

IMAIL 1.21 - Revision History
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
═══ IMAIL ═══
+ TOSS will now use a table of product codes which identify mail
processors which are Type 2+ but do not use the CW.
! Finally fixed the problem with dupe checking.
! Autoreply now also parses the MSGID kludge (if present) for the
origin address. If there is no INTL kludge in the message, the
origin zone will be used as the dest zone.
! Fixed a cosmetic bug in Autoreply with regard to the vido output
("Processing message ...").
! Autoreply now ignores read-only (LOCKed?) messages.
+ TOSS has a new switch (/r) which will disable the call to the
Autoreply function.
- AreaLink will now use the pointnet variable when searching for a
node. In other words, if the origin address in a request is not
recognized, and pointnet is set to some number, it will search
for PointNet/Point. If found, the origin address will be changed.
This =should= fix the problem when FD readdresses pointnet
addresses to 4D.
! In certain conditions, SCAN was not deleting ECHOMAIL.BBS and/or
NETMAIL.BBS. This has been fixed.
- TOSS now checks echo mail messages for the length of the PATH and
SEEN-BY lines. If they are longer than the maximum that IMAIL can
handle, they will be truncated. This should fix the problem a lot
of users have reported.
! Fixed the date field in the PKT headers being produced by IMAIL
(and IMPACK).
- The log of autoadded areas had an extra CR at the end.
! If you tried to diminish MaxDupes, the dupe info was truncated at
the wrong end (ie, the oldest values were kept, instead of the
newest ones).
! When checking the bad message board for newly defined areas, if
the area was marked Passth, the messages were not correctly
deleted. In other words, the index files were wrong.
- TOSS and disk space checking: While processing ARCmail
(compressed mail), if there is less than 600K free, TOSS stops
processing ARCmail, and if there is less than 200K, it doesn't
even start; while processing packets, if there is less than 200K
free, it will ignore any remaining.

IMAIL 1.21 - Revision History
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- Small cosmetic change in the info logged when AreaLink (local)
requests an area from another system.
- TOSS now strips the EOT (ascii code 04) character from the
message before processing it.
- Security violations are now logged to file as well as to the
screen.
+ When AreaLink exports messages in response to a %RESCAN request,
it will add a kludge to the messages: ^ARESCANNED. If the
receiving system is running IMAIL, TOSS will see this kludge and
not export the messages to any other systems.
+ If security is set on, and packet forwarding is set off, TOSS
will give a security violation if it finds echo mail not
addressed to your system.
- Made a few minor cosmetic changes to the screen output of
AutoReply.
- If TOSS finds an AREA: line in a message, but no following area
name, the message is treated as a net mail message.
+ Added a new switch to TOSS and SCAN. /X will force IMAIL to =not=
compress any outgoing packets it has generated. This switch is
only useful in a multi-tasking environment.
- Added more ^C checking in TOSS; now it checks before and after
each call to a compression program, and in a few more places.
However, NO CHECKS are made during the processing of a single PKT
file.
! AreaLink would try to use the Pointnet variable for any mail from
a point; this has been fixed so that it does it only if it is a
point of your system.
! Finally fixed the problem with AreaLink generating message with
an incorrect (though apparently constant) net number.
! Fixed the problem where AreaLink was ignoring the last line of a
request.
+ Added several command line switches to AreaLink, so that it can
be run locally (or via a "server") to make changes. Here is a
brief description:
/N<addr> address of node for whom changes will be made
* /+<area> link 'area' for node
* /-<area> unlink 'area' for node
* /L like %LIST
* /Q like %QUERY
* /U like %UNLINKED
