InfoMail/386 1.20

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.20
-*-
1. Configurable Log Filename
You can now specify any log file directory and filename at all.
So you can include InfoMail's log file in the same directory as
that of your other software, or even combine InfoMail's log file
with other log files.
2. Configurable message size up to 64k
Due to requests from users of InfoMail 1.11, the maximum size of
documents has been increased. You can still specify a maximum
messages size of less than this though, in which case larger
documents will be split across several messages.
3. Option to keep outgoing error messages and notices
Previously all outgoing messages such as document lists were
sent with the Kill flag (or according to the 'Kill' setting in
the configuration file for InfoMail 1.00). Now you can keep
them if you like.
4. A document list search utility
Users can search for a certain word in document tags and subject
lines (but not document text files, though). Such documents
must have the 'listed' flag set, or they won't appear. This is
useful for systems with a lot of documents on various subjects.
7. Options to keep various types of inbound message
In earlier versions of InfoMail all inbound requests and updates
were deleted when processed. This version allows you to keep
the messages, for diagnostic purposes or whatever.
8. All outgoing messages are sysop-configurable
One of the most requested features for a new version of InfoMail
was the ability to customise the outgoing document list. This
version of InfoMail allows you to customise _all_ outgoing
messages, such as update accept/reject messages, the output of
the new document search feature, and other errors.
9. Multiple AKA's per installation
Another frequently-requested feature was the ability to have
more than one address for a single installation of InfoMail.
Now, you can have as many addresses as you like.
10. Indexed (sorted) document list
This makes it easier for sysops with a lot of documents to find
the particular document they want to change. It also nicely
orders the documents in outgoing document lists, and speeds up
the program when identifying and loading documents.
11. Request passwords for added security
Rather pointless in the author's opinion, since documents can be
hidden from a document list, but included nevertheless because
of a large number of requests from users.
12. Secondary document messages (useful for held file attaches)
If a document is set up to create a message of any description
on 'Hold', such as file attaches, a second message can be sent
routed to inform the user making the request that a file is
waiting for them to pick it up.
13. Optional monochrome 'colour' scheme
The author now uses a monochrome screen :-(
14. Some extra macros, including two document list macros
Macros are the way that document lists are included in the new
customisable output messages, and in normal document messages
now as well.
