VERSION 0.68
- If mail filtering was enabled, the import program repeatedly displayed
the error message "Cannot create INBOX" when reading a download packet
containing many mail messages.
- Fixed wrapping of long address lists in To:, Cc: and Bcc: headers of
outgoing messages.
VERSION 0.67
- Added mail filter to import program.
- Added commands to newsgroup selection level
Key Command
O Save articles in newsgroup to folder
S Save articles in newsgroup to file
W Write articles in newsgroup to file without headers
- The yarnx.exe program did not output articles using BIOS when the
"speech=on" option was set.
- Include the original author's mail address in the attribution when
posting a follow-up.
- Check for write error when saving to file.
- Save to file command asks to append to or overwrite the file if it
already exists.
- Fixed memory fault when you type a key after selecting an item from
an F2 pick list.
VERSION 0.66
- The F3 command refused to add an entry to the address book if the alias
field matched the beginning of the address field.
- If the address book contained a very long address list, yarn overflowed
a memory buffer when you tried mailing to that list. If the address
list is longer than 80 characters, the F2 pick list inserts the alias
instead of the address.
- Increased address field maximum length in an address book entry to 32000
characters.
- Now avoid writing long lines to the address book file by writing each
address in an address list on a separate line followed by the \ line
continuation character.
- Added CONFIG settings for save to file command:
The save to file command writes this line at the start of each saved
message. The default is to write no line at the beginning of the message.
save-mail-header = Message %a of %C:
The save to file command writes this line at the start of each saved
article. The default is to write no line at the beginning of the article.
save-news-header = Article %a of %C:
- To enable support for the ISO-8859/8 (Hebrew) character set, put the line
charset = iso-8859-8
in the CONFIG file and set the code page to 862.
- Added CONFIG option for visually impaired users. Set
speech = on
to enable a speech friendly user interface.
- To show only certain message headers, put
show = <header list>
in the CONFIG file, where <header list> is a list of headers separated
by spaces. If both "hide" and "show" settings are in the file, the
last one takes effect.
VERSION 0.65
- The "expire -r" command also deleted old articles from the history file.
- When sending a message, insert the configured From: header and discard
any changes made to the header while in the editor.
- The left and right arrow keys now move between the newsgroup selection
level, article selection level and article reading level. Pressing
the right arrow key at the article reading level moves to the next
unread article.
VERSION 0.64
- The "expire -r" program corrupted the history file.
- Added PGP hooks.
- The timezone in the Date: header now accounts for daylight savings time.
- While entering a form field that asks for a mail address, the
selection of an entry from the address book using the F2 key now
inserts the address instead of the alias.
- By default, comments (parentheses and the text between them) are now
stripped from the To:, Cc: and Bcc: headers of outgoing messages. To
leave the comments in, put this line in the CONFIG file:
address-comments=on
VERSION 0.63
- The "expire -r" command hung if all articles in the news base were
marked as read.
- Catch up command at newsgroup selection level did not clear count
of unread articles.
- When saving to a folder, pressing the F2 key while entering the
folder name pops up a list of existing folders you can select from.
- Enable high intensity background colors.
VERSION 0.62

in 132 column display mode.
- Fixed the expire program which may go into an infinite loop when run

than once.

converting a large news base.

program to convert an existing old format news base to the new format.
- The expire program can delete articles from specific newsgroups. It can
also delete read articles.
- The DOS protected mode version of the reader uses a different DOS
extender and has the new name yarnx. The program requires the file
DOS4GW.EXE to be in a directory in the PATH.
- If the import program finds a newsgroup in the AREAS file of a SOUP packet
that is not in the active newsgroup list, it adds the newsgroup to the
user's subscription list.
VERSION 0.59
- The aliases file is now called the address book in the user manual.
The "aliases" configuration setting is renamed "address-book".
