- New/changed in beta 9:
- ----------------------
-
- * Deleting/moving of a *.MSG message during the personal mailscan was
- not possible (sharing violation, ugh!). Fixed.
-
- * Names found in the fidouser.lst are now properly capitalized.
-
- * When fowarding/moving/copying to the same area, the exit errorlevel
- would not be correct. Fixed.
-
- * Changed the L)ist mode a bit (to make it faster when scrolling).
-
- * Changed the swapper code (I moved to another library - it's a lib called
- EXEC now, it was SPAWNO), 'cause some people had weird problems when
- spawning the external editor. It would usually try to load a file called
- 'M' instead of "TIMED.MSG".
-
- * In addition to 'ALT-A', you can now also move from the Message Reading
- Screen to the Area Selection screen by typing just 'A'. (Great new
- feature! :-)
-
- * Using the CTRL-F feature (file request) with a message that had exactly
- 18 files in it, would mess up the status-bar at the bottom (the window
- would be one line too large).
-
- * When using the CTRL-F feature, pressing <space> or <enter> to tag a file
- will also move the highlighted bar one entry down.
-
- * Two new keywords: Confirm_Exit and Confirm_Delete, to replace the old
- Ask_Confirmation keyword.
- They now separately control if timEd will ask for confirmation when you
- try to exit timEd (Confirm_exit <Yes|No>), and when you try to delete a
- message (Confirm_Delete <Yes|No>).
-
- * New keyword: Personal_Skip_Received. This is for the personal mailscan
- (ALT-P).
- When this is set to 'Yes', personal messages that have the 'received'
- status will be skipped by the personal mailscan (so you only see unread
- messages).
- When this is set to 'No', the personal mailscan will also show messages
- with the received status.
-
- Please note that the personal mailscan always starts scanning at the
- lastread pointer, regardless of this setting.
-
- * During a personal mailscan, pressing the <ESC> key works much better
- now. It should now really stop the scan :-)
-
- * The same for the '+' and '-' functions (goto next/previous area with new
- mail). This scan can also be aborted by <ESC>. In addition, the
- highlighted bar in the Area Selection Screen will always be in the right
- position, even after using '+' or '-'.
-
- * When using the F)ind feature, ALT-R (reset all search strings) now also
- works when editing a string (not only when editing the F)rom / T)o /
- S)ubject stuff).
-
- * New keyword: INTLFORCE <Yes|No>. With this set to 'yes', *all* netmail
- messages generated by timEd will have an INTL kludge (instead of only
- inter-zone messages).
- In some environments this seems to be necessary. Do not use this unless
- you really need it!
-
- * It should now also be possible to spawn the external editor using a .BTM
- file (4DOS batchfile). I'm not a 4DOS user myself, so I can't verify..
-
- * AKA-matching now also works for CC: messages and aliases that fill in
- the subject.
-
- * New keyword: Netmail_Tearline <Yes|no>. This controls whether netmail
- messages will have a tearline or not. Tearlines are not required in
- netmail messages, although some programs (usually areafix alike
- programs) use it to find the end of the message body.
-
- * New keyword: Move_Notes <Yes|No>. This controls whether timEd will put
- "Moved / Copied (from: xxx) by xxxxx using timEd" at the top of a
- message that was Moved or Copied using ALT-M.
-
- Please note that FORWARDED messages will still have the message.
-
- Messages Copied or Moved using the L)ist mode will never have the
- message at the top.
-
- * Two new key combinations can be used in the L)ist mode:
-
- 'ALT +' : Tag all messages
- 'ALT -' : Untag all messages.
-
- * Changed the code that updates the lastread pointer. It should now be
- updated more accurately in multitasking situations.
-
- * When timEd reaches the last message in an area, pressing <right> or
- <enter> will have a message pop up, that gives you the choice to:
-
- - go to the next area with new mail (<right>, <enter>, '+').
- - exit the area and go to the Area Selection Screen (<esc>).
- - just stay where you area (any other key).
-
- Lazy readers can just keep on pressing <right> or <enter>, and cycle
- through all their areas.... :-)
-
- This function is controlled by a new keyword: End_Of_Area_Menu <Yes|No>.
- When this is set to Yes, you'll get the menu.
-
- With this set to 'No' timEd will just 'beep' at the end of an area, and
- do nothing else (like the old versions).
-
- * The 'reply followup' function (ALT-O) now has its own 'hellostring',
- which is called FOLLOWHELLO. It functions just like 'hellostring' and
- 'rephellostring'. Example:
-
- FollowHello "Following up a mesages from %from to %to:"
-
- * It is now possible to save the search criteria (for the ALT-F function)
- in an area.
-
- Whenever you press ALT-S (Save) from the ALT-F screen, the information
- will be saved (for that area only! So you can save different sets for
- each area!).
-
- Whenever you enter an area, timEd will check for custom search data in
- that area automatically.
-
- The information is added to the TIMED.DAT file (*.MSG areas) or the
- *.SQT files (Squish style areas). These files also hold the custom
- 'hellostrings'.
-
- * TimEd now allows you to use extended ASCII in several fields (header
- editing, hellostring editing etc.)
