- EUDORA FOR WINDOWS, VERSION 5.2 -- RELEASE NOTES
- =============================================================
-
- This document describes the changes in the software since Eudora
- 5.0.2. Separate sections have been given to changes from each
- release since then.
-
- NOTE: Several times we refer to <x-eudora-option:...> to modify a
- setting. Copy the whole text including the < >'s and paste it into
- a new Eudora message. By pressing and holding down the <alt> key, you
- can click on a URL in a new message (a hand will display over the URL
- which means it can be used).
-

- -------------
- Auto-Complete continues when spaces are typed.
-
- Auto-Complete completion now triggered by right arrow key.
-
- Auto-Complete is now smarter about finding entries with quotation marks.

-
-
- ----------------------------------------------
- CHANGES FROM 5.1 TO 5.1.1

- the default Windows character set as appropriate.
-
- New hidden INI setting, <x-Eudora-option:SendUSASCII>, which allows
- the user to force Eudora to send messages as US ASCII.
-
- Made Eudora more tolerant of other applications (i.e. virus scanners
- or backup utilities) interfering with Eudora's use of files in its
- spool directory.
-
- IMAP
- ----
- Fixed bug in IMAP where if the desired part in a multipart/alternative
- was not the last part, then it would download the wrong part.

-
-
- ATTACHMENTS
- -----------
- Fixed bug where attachments with long file names would get saved with
- an 8.3 name.
-
-
- MOODWATCH/SPELL CHECKING
- ------------------------
- Fixed bug where spell checking a long word in the Subject: header
- could cause a crash.
-
- Fixed bug where if you set Eudora to spell check only when requested
- Eudora would only spell check the subject.
-
- Updated MoodWatch dictionary.
-
-
- SSL
- ---
- Password bases privateKey will now be used during client side
- authentication.
-
- The hidden INI settings <x-Eudora-option:SSLReceivePrivateKey>
- and <x-Eudora-option:SSLSendPrivateKey> specify the file where the
- encrypted private key is stored. This key should correspond to the
- public key of the local cert that you are sending during client
- authentication.
-
- The hidden INI settings <x-Eudora-option:SSLReceivePrivateKeyPassword>
- and <x-Eudora-option:SSLSendPrivateKeyPassword> correspond to the
- password which will be used to decrypt this private key.
-
- The privatekey file should always be in the base 64 encoded format.
-
- Changed the way in which the client cert directories were decided.
- Also, now it is no longer necessary to specify the name of the
- heirarchy file in the INI file. But if it is already specified in the
- INI file, then that will be used.
-

- Main thread in Eudora.log file is now marked by "MAIN" instead of
- thread ID.
-
- Updated help files.
-
- Changed tech support references in tips and Tech Support menu item to
- refer to proper web page.
-
-
- ----------------------------------------------
- CHANGES IN 5.1
- ----------------------------------------------
-
- NOTE: Excessively long URL's can crash Eudora. This is in excess
- of about 2100 characters.
-
- MAJOR FIXES
- -----------
- Fixed crash related to copying selected text.
-
- Fixed crash resulting from filtering a message that you had
- previously filtered and then undone.
-
- Fixed MFC crash caused by an idle IMAP session.
-
- Fixed a bug where you would crash after trying to copy some text.
-
- Fixed a bug where some messages would not be received because they
- contained a multipart/mixed MIME message where the first part is an
- empty text/plain section.
-
- Fixed crashing problem when a message contained an URL with a lot of
- percent symbols.
-
- Fixed crash when expanding a nickname that contained a lot of
- nicknames or email addresses.
-
- Fixed problem where Leave Mail On Server (LMOS) would get confused
- and re-download all of your mail after you have exited and restarted
- Eudora and then checked mail.
-
- Fixed crash that occurred when trying to File-Save As a message with
- Include Headers.
-
- Fixed BinHex attachment corruption problem that resulted from our
- mishandling filenames longer than 32 characters.
-
- Provided a workaround for people who encounter blank pages when
- printing multiple messages. You will have to use this setting:
- <x-Eudora-option:DelayPrintBetweenMessages>
- which defaults to 0 (milliseconds) in delay between printing messages.
- If you occasionally get blank pages when printing, then try changing
- this value to 3000. You might get blank pages because we shuffle
- through the print jobs too quickly.
-
- Fixed problem of losing hyperlinks that follow URL's in an unformatted
- message.
-
- COMPOSING/VIEWING MAIL
- ----------------------
- Fixed crash related to URL display.
-
- Fixed bug where any open messages were closed when you shutdown and
- restart Eudora.
-
- Fixed crash when deleting a nickname from an alphabetized
- auto-completion dropdown list.
-
- Fixed bug where auto-URL's and hyperlinks were broken when they
- followed delimiters such as " and ( with no matching ending delimiter.
- We saw this bug when people were creating email newsletters with links
- that also quoted some text just before the links.
-
- Fixed bug where editing a queued message would not flag any of the
- words in the Subject: header.
-
- Fixed a bug related to clicking Never in the Return Receipt dialog.
-
- Fixed a bug related to 8-bit headers with character sets of windows-*
- (i.e. "windows-1250"). We assume that your system has the appropriate
- font installed.
-
- Added "Automatically download HTML graphics" checkbox to
- Tools->Options->Display. This controls whether or not Paige windows
- download HTTP images while viewing. An example is background
- fetching of inline images that are part of a web page that was sent
- to you. Note that you will get an ugly blue box as a place holder
- while the image is being downloaded. You can disable immediate
- downloading of the inline images by using
- <x-Eudora-Option:FetchInLineContent=0> which is the same as the option
- mentioned above. The default is 1 (enabled).
-
- Fixed bug where copying an image from your browser would get pasted
- as an attachment into a new message. It now gets pasted as an
- inline image.
-
- We now have limited table support when composing a message. You will
- have to add ImportTables=1 to your Eudora.ini file or click on
- <x-Eudora-Option:ImportTables=1>.
-
- Added "Don't auto-complete, just list matches" in
- Tools->Options->Auto-completion. This setting will show the dropdown
- list of matching words, but it will not auto-complete the field in
- which you are typing. The default is disabled. You can also modify
- this setting with the following URL:
- <x-Eudora-option:AutoCompListOnly>.
-
- Pressing the Escape key when Eudora provides the auto-completion
- dropdown list will cause the list to disappear during the length of
- typing in that email address. A subsequent typing of an email
- address should re-engage the auto-completion list.
-
- Fixed bug where WordWrapOnScreen=1 would cause MoodWatch flagging and
- inline signatures to fail.
-
- Auto-completion is no longer case sensitive for foreign characters
- (ASCII 192-223 -> 224-255). If you type an uppercase version of an
- accented character that had previously been entered in lowercase,
- then auto-completion will still find a match.
-
- Redirecting a message now behaves differently than Reply or Forward
- when dealing with selected text. With redirect, it will always
- redirect the entire message. With Reply and Forward, only the
- selected text will be quoted.
-
- Tooltip for link button to the right of bullet list in a composition
- window has been changed to "Make hyperlink" to be more consistent with
- Text-Make Hyperlink.
-
- When making a hyperlink, the http:// is no longer selected as a
- default so that you do not have to press the end or right-arrow keys
- before starting to type.
-
- We have added a new Last Text Color button in a composition window.
- This button will match the color that you last selected to format
- your text. It will not revert to the Automatic (default) color if
- that was selected. The button is located to the right of the Color
- selection button. Note that the Last Text Color button remembers
- its value between sessions.
-
- The Last Text Color button will not change colors if you hold down
- the <shift> key while selecting a color from the color menu. This is
- useful when you are when you are making a one-time color change where
- you do not want to affect your commonly used text color.
-
- Fixed bug where auto-completion would stop if it encountered a period.
-
- Fixed bug where underlined text following a bullet list would cause
- the underlining to be printed with dots and dashes.
-
- Fixed bugs related to bullet lists such as shrinking their size and
- vertically centering them. We also fixed bug where the bullets would
- become hollow.
-
- Fixed bug where the bullets in a bullet list would be placed outside
- of an excerpt bar.
-
- We added a new style button called Strikeout where the formatting is
- that it will cross out the text with a horizontal line.
-
- Changes to the Last Text Color toolbar button:
- - The button has been combined with the Color selection button. The
- last text color is indicated by a small rectangle below the palette.
- - You can select a color by clicking on the down arrow on the right
- side of the button.
- - It is now available in the Signatures window, File-New File,
- File-Open File, and editing incoming messages.
-
- Fixed crash when deleting a new nickname from the Autocomplete list.
-
-
- MOODWATCH/SPELL CHECKING
- ------------------------
- MoodWatch has been changed to default to not count safe capitalized
- words and ignore HTML.
-
- Spell checking and MoodWatch should now flag words in the headers
- such as Subject:
-
- MoodWatch should ignore HTML tags.
-
- MoodWatch and Spell checking should work together now.
-
- Fixed bug where a misspelled word would not get unmarked after
- correcting it.
-
- Fixed bug where spell-checking on send/queue would not check the
- Subject: field.
-
- Fixed bug in MoodWatch where it would assign random MoodWatch statuses
- for .msg messages via the command-line interface.
-
- When you right-click on a misspelled word in the Subject field, you
- will get a list of 5 suggested words from which can choose one or you
- can add the misspelled word to the dictionary.
-
- Fix to drawing of MoodWatch and spelling underlines.
-
- Fixed most of the problems with flagging of words for spelling and
- MoodWatch. Windows 95/98/ME users should now see the bitmaps under
- the flagged text.
-
- Fixed problem where parts of the URL would not be linked because
- some of its text was flagged as misspelled.
-
- If you have selected text in either the Subject or text body, then
- selecting Edit-Check Spelling (or using ctrl-6) will only check the
- selected text. If you do not have any text selected, then it will
- check all of the text (Subject and text body).
-
- Fixed problem where red underlines from misspellings remained in the
- Subject if words were removed.
-
- Fixed problem of no spell checking on last word in Subject
-
- Fixed most of the problems with drawing the underlines that flag for
- misspelled words and MoodWatch text.
-
- We reduced the flickering when drawing words flagged by MoodWatch.
-
- MoodWatch will not mark the bad mood words if the overall score does
- not show any chilies.
-
- Fixed a crash related to MoodWatch and spell checking.
-
- We have changed the MoodWatch underline to a maroon chili to help
- distinguish it from misspelled words.
-
- Fixed redraw problem with spell checking when pasting some text into
- the Subject: header and then Edit-Undo.
-
- Fixed bug where some words are not flagged because of a conflict
- between MoodWatch and automatic spell checking.
-
- Changed the way that we send/queue messages that are flagged by
- MoodWatch. In previous betas, we would queue a flagged message and
- wait a little while before sending it. People complained that it was
- difficult to send the flagged messages, so now we only have the
- MoodWatch warning dialog upon queuing/sending the message. If the
- user clicks [Send Anyways] then it is queued/sent as opposed to being
- time-queued to be sent after 10 minutes. You can enable this previous
- behavior in Tools-Options-MoodWatch-Delay when queuing/sending.
- Note: If you have a time-queued message, you can send it right away
- by right-clicking on the message in the Out mailbox and selecting
- Change Queuing... and selecting Right Now.
-
- Fixed bug where Edit-Check spelling was not available when editing a
- signature or using File-New.
-
- Fixed problem where inline images would disappear when MoodWatch was
- triggered.
-
-
- ATTACHMENTS
- -----------
- Drag and drop of attachments from received messages is now supported.
- You do not necessarily have to have the attachment selected before you
- can drag it. To further support this feature, we have added a couple
- of extra settings:
- <x-Eudora-option:TreeControlAutoScrollDelay> (default 100 millisecs)
- this controls the delay at which point the mailbox window would
- scroll.
- <x-Eudora-option:TreeControlAutoExpandDelay> (default 1000 millisecs)
- this controls how soon your mailbox folder would open when dragging
- your mouse cursor over it in the mailbox window.
- <x-Eudora-option:AllowAttachDrag> (default 1)
- this controls whether or not we allow drag and drop of your
- attachments.
-
- Fixed bug where we could not display an attachment icon which resulted
- in an error message. Now we would not display the icon if it is not
- available.
-
- Fixed confusion where Help-Insert System Configuration would not show
- that the attachments will be Text in Body.
-
- Fixed the Attach File dialog such that it now has an Attach button.
-
- Fixed bug where you should not be allowed to enter a period in the
- Attachment: field.
-
- Fixed bug where right-clicking on an attachment inside of a received
- message and selecting one of the Attachment actions would not perform
- the action for some users.
-
- If you first select an attachment, we now support the ability to
- drag and drop the attachment to your desktop or another folder.
-
- Receive MIME Digest as mailbox attachment has been added (default off).
- This option can be found in Tools-Options-Attachments-
- Receive MIME digests as mailbox attachment. This corresponds to
- <x-Eudora-option:ExplodeMimeDigest> where 0 is off (default) and
- 1 is on (we save the digest to attach directory as an .mbx file)
-
- Importing of MIME digests get placed into a mailbox. This clarifies
- how we handle importing of MIME digests. We still can receive MIME
- digests with Tools-Options-Attachments-Receive MIME digests as mail
- box attachments.
-
- We added support to automatically remove incoming VCard (.vcf) files
- by using <x-Eudora-option:DeleteAttachedVCFs=1>. The default is 0.
- This should work for both POP and IMAP.
-
-
- STATIONERY/SIGNATURES
- ---------------------
- In some cases, the stationery tabbed window would not display any
- newly created stationery until you exited and restarted Eudora.
- Eudora now displays them.
-
- Fixed problem where the <Delete> key would not delete a signature in
- the Signatures window.
-
- Fixed bug where attempting to create a signature whose name already
- exists would bring up the original signature. It now requires an
- unique signature name.
-
- Fixed odd behavior when you tried to File-Exit while editing a
- stationery.
-
-
- SENDING/CHECKING/FILTERING MAIL
- -------------------------------
- We now send out a CAPA command in order to support SSL.
- Unfortunately, some servers have problems when they encounter the
- CAPA command. If this is true for you, you will need to go to that
- personality's properties and change the SSL (Secure Sockets) option
- to "Never".
-
- Outgoing message with associated speak filter will now state the To:
- field's value instead of the From: field.
-
- Fixed bug where users with a login name that contains an @ sign
- (i.e. "user@alternatedomain") did not get the correct login name when
- doing SMTP authentication. The problem was that the code was looking
- for the first @ sign rather than the last in an account name like
- this: "user@alternatedomain@realdomain".
-
- Fixed formatting for From envelope header when dealing with MIME
- digests. This would have caused oddness if an user made a MIME digest
- during a time when the hour, minute, or second was less than 10, then
- moved this mailbox over to Macintosh.
-
- Fixed bug where Eudora was not handling the Content-Location: header.
-
-
- FIND TEXT/MESSAGES
- ------------------
- Fixed problem with Find Text when there were NULL characters in the
- mailbox.
-
- Fixed bug where transferring a message from the "Find Messages"
- dialog to a new mailbox would give repeated prompts.
-
- Find Text now works in the Address book. Note that it also wraps
- around to the top of the list after it is at the bottom.
-
- Selected found messages in Find Messages Results tab will remain
- selected even after clicking on another dialog.
-
- Find Messages results now supports Transfer, Reply, Reply to All,
- Forward, and Redirect. Delete has been moved to the bottom of the
- list of options.
-
- Fixed bug in the Find Messages results tab when you right-click and
- select "Open mailbox". The selected message would be selected as well
- as the last message in the mailbox which is unexpected.
-
- Fixed bug where transferring messages from the results tab of Find
- Messages to a mailbox within a folder would fail. We also addressed
- the case where you try to create a new mailbox in this process.
-
-
- MAILBOXES
- ---------
- Fixed a crash when emptying your trash of certain messages.
-
- A message that does not have any text body will have a message size
- of null (O with a diagonal stroke through it) in the mailbox table of
- contents view.
-
- Fixed problem where failure to rename temporary .mbx file while
- compacting would cause out-of-phase .mbx and .toc.
-
- If you select a group of messages in a mailbox, then right-clicking
- and selecting Change Personality will show a dot next to the
- personality with which all of the messages are associated (important
- when replying to these messages). If there are a mixture of
- personalities, then no dot is displayed.
-
- If you double-click on a .mbx file in File Explorer and it is now
- associated with Eudora, then it will run Eudora and open that
- mailbox. This build fixes a problem where long mailbox names
- were not being displayed properly.
-
- Fixed bug where the Label would be lost when transferring a message to
- the Out mailbox.
-
- Improved system performance when mailboxes are stored on a remote
- drive. You will need to use the option:
- <x-Eudora-option:SpoolDirTemp=1>
- which will use the temporary directory on the machine as a spot for
- incoming and outgoing spool files.
-
- Fixed bug where the wrong message would be selected in a newly opened
- mailbox if the Date column is sorted in ascending order (shift-click
- the column header).
-
-
- ADDRESS BOOK/DIRECTORY SERVICES
- -------------------------------
- When opening the Directory Services, the focus will now be in the
- Query field even if the window was already open. We felt that is the
- field that you would most want the focus.
-
- If you have selected some text, then holding down the <shift> key
- while opening the Directory Services window will now automatically
- fill the Query field with the selected text.
-
- The address book no longer automatically expands the nickname if
- you click on the To:, Cc:, or Bcc: buttons. Its behavior now
- corresponds to the status of "Automatically Expand Nicknames" in
- Tools-Options-Miscellaneous. If this setting is enabled, then no only
- will nicknames be automatically expanded when you type them, but also
- when you select the nickname in the address book and select To:, Cc:,
- or Bcc:.
-
- Fixed problem where address book fields would seem like they are
- merged.
-
- Fixed bug in the address book where the Rename was inappropriately
- available in the left pane when you are using a different view.
-
- Fixed bug with the recipient list where Special-Remove Recipient would
- state that there are no more recipients yet it also lists a newly
- added recipient.
-
- Fixed bug where the value of <x-Eudora-option:PhReturn> would not get
- appended to the end of all of your Ph queries. An example value is
- "return all" which would allow you to see all of the information for
- the Ph record.
-
-
- IMAP
- ----
- Fixed a crash related to creating IMAP mailboxes.
-
- We clarified the dialog when forwarding/redirecting an IMAP message
- and warn the user if the attachment has not been downloaded yet.
-
- We now support Hesiod for IMAP.
-
-
- IMPORTING
- ---------
- We now import Netscape 6 mail. We cannot import if you installed in
- a non-default directory. We are expecting the Netscape data in
- <ApplicationData>\Mozilla\Users50\xxxxxxx. You can use Advanced
- Import to migrate.
-
-
- SSL
- ---
- SSL is implemented on a per personality basis. In your
- Personalities window, right-click on a personality that supports SSL.
-
- Under Generic Properties tab, there is a Secure Sockets section
- where you can specify its usage. The list includes:
- Never, If Available, Required on Alternate Port, and Required
- (STARTTLS). The default is "If Available".
-
- The [Last SSL Info] button will only work if you have been able to
- send an email with the SSL personality.
-
- Under Incoming Mail tab, there is also a Secure Sockets section with
- the same options. You can click on the [Last SSL Info] button to
- view the Eudora SSL Connection Information Manager.
-
- Note that there is a [Certificate Information Manager] button at the
- bottom of the dialog.
-
- In the Certificate Information Manager, you can specify which
- certificates you trust. You can click on the [Add to Trusted] and
- [Remove from Trusted] buttons to specify which certificates you trust.
-
- Eudora has provided some Trusted Certificates, but you will have your
- own certificates too under Server Certificates.
-
- A skull with cross bones represents a certificate that is not trusted.
- A yellow face in the User Trusted Certificates branch will mean that
- the certificate is trusted.
- If a certificate has expired, then you will see a red backwards L
- over the icon.
-
- Some SSL-specific information:
-
- POPSSLAllowVersion2 and SMTPSSLAllowVersion2 default to true (1).
- NOTE: These have been changed to SSLReceiveAllowVersion2 and
- SSLSendAllowVersion2.
-
- These settings will reject a successful SSL negotiation if the server
- and the client negotiate version 2.0 of SSL.
-
- Our implementation of SSL should correctly handle the situation where
- the server suddenly closes the socket connection during a SSL
- negotiation.
-
- SSL should not get locked if you are using more than one SSL
- connection.
-
- If using "Required", then the connection should fail if the server
- does not support SSL.
-
- SSL host mismatch errors should be reported in the Task Errors window.
-
- Regular Expressions should be supported for SSL when matching
- hostnames in certs with the connected server name.
-
- We have added SSL Alternate port support for password change.
- INI Settings:(per personality)
- SSLPasswordUse(0) - same meaning as SSLReceiveUse setting
- SSLPasswordAlternatePort(106)
- The remaining SSL settings will be same as the equivalent POP/IMAP
- SSL settings for that personality. You could set these values even if
- you are not using SSL on POP/IMAP with that personality.
-
- If STARTTLS gives an error in SMTP then it can be ignored and not
- displayed in the task bar in the "If Available" case because Eudora
- will be sending mail using the non-SSL means in this situation.
-
- This should fix some complaints about SSL failures with the following
- error:
- SSL error status: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong
- version number
- Some servers have problems when we don't try negotiating SSL 3.0.
- So now we will try negotiating 3.0 first, but the user is free to
- change this using the SSLSendVersion/SSLReceiveVersion INI setting.
-
- Fix for SSL/IMAP - Failing to send FETCH 1 command
- Using different networkbuffer size for IMAP/SSL
- The problem is that if we don't supply this sized buffer, then
- SSLPlus library gives incorrect values of read data byte number.
- (It is less that what it actually reads)
-
- Changed the default IMAP port for alternate port SSL to 993.
-
- If you double-click on a SSL Certificate in the Certificate
- Information Manager, then it should now provide some information.
-
- We have improved our logic for handling expired SSL certificates.
-
- New PKCS#7 certficate databases that we could ship with Eudora.
- Here are the 12:
- * VeriSign/RSA Secure Server CA
- * VeriSign Class 1 Public Primary Certification Authority
- * VeriSign Class 2 Public Primary Certification Authority
- * VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority
- * VeriSign Class 1 Public Primary Certification Authority - G2
- * VeriSign Class 2 Public Primary Certification Authority - G2
- * VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G2
- * VeriSign Class 4 Public Primary Certification Authority - G2
- * VeriSign Class 1 Public Primary Certification Authority - G3
- * VeriSign Class 2 Public Primary Certification Authority - G3
- * VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G3
- * VeriSign Class 4 Public Primary Certification Authority - G3
- (The "G2" stands for "second generation").
- (The "G3" stands for "second generation" and is a 2048-bit CA.)
-
- Fixed some other SSL issues:
- 1)Middle man attack for SMTP - previous ehlo and sasl objects are now
- getting reset
- 2)aborting connection on SSL failure - not depending on user or
- server.
- 3)Minor Modifications in certificate overrides.
- 4)Bugfix in the function to duplicate cert
- 5)Removed some warnings in qcssl.dll
-
- Added Thawte certs for SSL.
-
- Fixed the inability to see connection parameters if your dominant
- personality was using IMAP and SSL.
-
- Improved the UI for SSL in the personalities window as well as
- Tools-Options-Checking Mail and Sending Mail.
-
- SSL can be further configured using the following settings:
-
- SSL Encryption algorithm (minimum acceptable key lengths):
- <x-Eudora-option:SSLReceiveMinEncryption>
- <x-Eudora-option:SSLSendMinEncryption>
-
- Key exchange algorithm (minimum acceptable key lengths):
- <x-Eudora-option:SSLReceiveMinKeyExchangeLength>
- <x-Eudora-option:SSLSendMinKeyExchangeLength>
-
- <x-Eudora-option:SSLReceiveCipherSuite>
- <x-Eudora-option:SSLSendCipherSuite>
- <x-Eudora-option:SSLReceiveLogSession>
- <x-Eudora-option:SSLSendLogSession>
-
- Enable (1) (default) or disable (0) regular expressions in the
- matching of host names and the server name in the server certificate.
- You need to specify this on a per personality basis.
- <x-Eudora-option:SSLReceiveAllowRegExp>
- <x-Eudora-option:SSLSendAllowRegExp>
-
- We now extract and display the length of the public key used for
- the key exchange algorithm from the server cert.
-
- Fixed problem where a SSL warning would be cut off.
-
- SSL now supports a "Rejected" state for a SSL connection. This status
- occurs when the connection was successfully negotiated, but there is a
- configuration setting that forces the connection to be dropped.
-
- SSL now supports exporting of certificates in the Certificate
- Information Manager. It supports DER Encoded Binary X.509 (*.cer,
- *.crt), Base 64 encoded X.509 (*.cer), and Cryptographic Message
- Syntax Standard-PKCS.
-
- Added support for Certificate Import functionality for DER encoded
- X.509 certs.
-
- New root certificates for SSL have been added: Certicom A and
- Certicom B.
-
- Added functionality to calculate hash of SSL certificate.
-
- Fixed bug in extracting/displaying the serial number of the SSL
- certificate.
-
- We now calculate the thumbprint of the SSL certificate using
- SHA/MD2/MD4/MD5. The user can select any of these algorithms and
- observe the corresponding thumbprint that is calculated. Note that
- SHA is the default.
-
- Fixed bug where Eudora cannot use certain SSL servers that extract
- domain names from certs with weird OID's.
-
- Fixed bug where a bunch of .tmp files were being left behind when you
- view certificate details.
-
-
- MISCELLANEOUS
- -------------
- Better handling of multipart/related inside of multipart/alternative.
- Will now prefer multipart/related over text/{plain,enriched,html}.
-
- Removed obsolete "Switch views for Find" setting in
- Tools->Options->Extra Warnings.
-
- Added <x-Eudora-option:MaxConcurrentDialupTasks>, which controls how
- many background dialup connections that Eudora can start at the same
- time. The default value is 2.
-
- Addressed issues with CMU's Cyrus ACAP server:
- - Fixed CRAM-MD5 authentication problem of accepting ACAP literals
- - It now parses literal strings and quoted strings as entry values
- - removed truncation on a value with a space
- - query is now lowercase to allow some servers like Cyrus to
- understand us
- - fixed some case-sensitive string comparisons that would cause
- failed operations.
-
- Fixed problem where some older Win 95 systems (OSR1 and earlier)
- would give errors when trying to change any Eudora file (i.e.
- mailboxes).
-
- Changed the toolbar icon for File-Send Immediately to distinguish it
- from Message-Send Immediately.
-
- Fixed bug where we required the Eudora folder to be writable. It now
- only checks for the existence of the Eudora folder.
-
- Fixed crash caused by some servers that say okay to SSL then don't
- allow it.
-
-
- ----------------------------------------------
- CHANGES INCLUDED FROM 5.0 TO BEFORE 5.1
- ----------------------------------------------
-
- COMPOSING/VIEWING MAIL
- ======================
- Fixed conflict where changing the Message Font in Eudora would also
- change the font in Internet Explorer. You need to use this URL
- <x-Eudora-option:SeparateMSHTMLSettings=1> to set it to 1 to resolve
- this conflict. As a default, it is 0 because we need to be careful
- about unknown side effects. There is a known problem where printing
- email messages will still be printed using the browser's font size.
-
- Fixed freeze when clicking on a URL. This related to our using DDE
- to check to see if Netscape is running. If you use Netscape, then
- previous to this fix clicking on a URL in Eudora would have reused an
- existing Netscape browser window. After the fix, clicking on a URL
- in Eudora will open a new Netscape browser window. If you are using
- Netscape as your browser and would like clicking on URL's in Eudora
- to reuse an existing browser window, then use this URL:
- <x-Eudora-option:NetscapeURLDDE=1>.
-
- Fixed crash when auto-completion was not using the address book for
- its list.
-
- Fixed sudden cascading repainting problem when switching from having
- a vertical scrollbar and not having one. This was common in the
- composition window.
-
- Canceling a forward/redirect that had added Insert System
- Configuration files will no longer lose attachments.
-
- Fixed situation where URL's would get an orange highlight if another
- style is present in the inline signature.
-
- Fix for Guninski security hole where launching a file that uses a
- previously sent rogue DLL would have unexpected results.
-
- Caret displays in the correct field after a mailto.
-
- We no longer scroll two lines at the bottom of the message.
-
- Hyperlinks are no longer broken by a spelling error.
-
- Fixed a bug where sending out plain text with a large word on a line
- in an excerpt caused the wrapping to occur at the space after it.
- The bad result would be extra spaces in front of the > for excerpts.
-
- Tab in body now works when using Help-Report a bug.
-
- <x-Eudora-option:AllowClipboardHTML> allows for the user to have a
- normal paste use HTML format. The current default is off, but this
- might change in the future.
-
- Fixed a bug where deleting an open message from the preview pane
- would cause Eudora to crash.
-
- Fixed a couple of bugs in displaying messages that contain URLs where
- www or ftp is preceded by other alphanumeric characters. The message
- could take a long time to display, and Eudora would hang if the URL
- was invalid.
-
- Fixed a crash in composition windows containing hyperlinks.
-
- Fixed a bug that could cause the caret (blinking cursor) to appear
- in the wrong window after a new composition window was opened.
-
- Fixed a bug where editing a queued message that you had previously
- set to be sent at a certain would cause the message to instead be
- sent on the next send-messages operation.
-
- Fixed a bug where copying HTML (e.g., from a browser) to the clipboard
- and then pasting it into Eudora would introduce strange characters and
- other problems. This fix applies only if you Edit/Paste Special in
- Eudora and then choose HTML Format in the dialog that comes up.
-
- Fixed a bug where Eudora would crash when previewing a text/enriched
- message that contained a font change.
-
- Fixed a bug where, if Eudora was not the default mailer, clicking on
- a mailto: link in Netscape would still open a composition window in
- Eudora.
-
- Fixed a bug where clicking on Reply To, Reply All, or Forward in the
- Netscape Messenger news reader would open a composition window in
- Eudora.
-
- Eudora now makes itself the handler for mailto: links in Netscape if
- any of the following conditions holds:
- - The registry entry for mailto
- (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command) points to Eudora.
- - The user answers Yes to the warning that pops up if Eudora is
- not configured as the default mailer.
- - If the settings DefaultMailto=1 and WarnDefaultMailto=0 are both
- present. By default, DefaultMailto is 0, meaning Eudora doesn't
- automatically make itself the default mailer, and WarnDefaultMailto
- is 1, meaning Eudora puts up the aforementioned warning if it's
- not the default mailer when it's launched.
-
- Added .shb and .shs to the list of attachment extensions that cause
- a warning upon opening the attachment.
-
- Nickname expansion is now done in the Cc: and Bcc: headers as well as
- the To: header.
-
- Fixed a bug where inserting a horizontal line in a message could
- cause the line to be drawn through a line of text.
-
- Fixed a bug where a new reply or forward window would sometimes
- scroll all the way to the end of the message.
-
- Added Print One to the File menu. This prints one copy of the current
- document to the default printer without displaying the standard print
- dialog.
-
- Fixed a bug where excerpt bars didn't appear correctly in Microsoft
- Outlook and Outlook Express in messages sent from Eudora.
-
- Added more descriptive operating system versions in the text
- generated by Help/Insert System Configuration. It also now correctly
- identifies the more recent levels of Intel CPUs.
-
- Fixed a bug in Auto-completion name deletion.
-
- Print Preview is now supported for the Microsoft viewer if Internet
- Explorer 5.5 or above is installed. Also, Print Preview is now
- enabled when the focus is in a mailbox summary and one message is
- selected.
-
- Fixed a bug where font changes made in Tools/Options/Fonts weren't
- taking effect if Tools/Options/Viewing Mail/Use Microsoft's Viewer
- was checked and Internet Explorer 5.5 was installed.
-
- Removed Winsock information from the Help/Insert System Configuration
- text, and added the mode (Paid, Sponsored, or Light).
-
- Now putting the version number and current mode in the Subject header
- of Help/Report A Bug messages.
-
- Fixed a bug in the way messages were encoded if BinHex encoding was
- selected.
-
- The Tools/Options dialog has a new panel for Composing Mail. Some
- settings were moved to this panel from the Sending Mail panel.
-
- Fixed problem where Help-Insert System Configuration would fail
- because it could not find your Attach directory.
-
- MOODWATCH
- =========
- Fixed a crash in MoodWatch when queuing/sending a message while the
- user has WordWrapOnScreen enabled.
-
- Moodwatch column no longer displays if this feature is disabled in
- Tools-Options-Mailboxes-MoodWatch.
-
- Improvements with background MoodWatch which occurs when you open a
- mailbox that has not been MoodWatch'ed yet.
-
- Still more refinement as to which words and phrases do and don't
- trigger MoodWatch chilies.
-
- STATIONERY/SIGNATURES
- =====================
- A horizontal bar has been added between your text body and your
- in-line signature. Note that it will not be present in the received
- message. This will help distinguish from the body of the message and
- the inline signature. Note that if you modify/add text below the
- horizontal line, then it assumes that you are modifying the signature.
- As a result, if you change signatures, then the modified text will be
- lost.
-
- Stationery files no longer have a limitation of 63488 bytes.
-
- Fixed a bug where signatures were losing their styles when viewed
- inline.
-
- Inserting an image in a signature or stationery is disallowed for
- now, since it wasn't working right and could cause a crash.
-
- Fixed a bug where dynamic menus, such as the stationery menu, failed
- to wrap. For example, if you had a whole lot of stationery, you
- wouldn't be able to see all of it in the menu.
-
- Fixed a bug where any message containing a signature was treated as if
- it had styled text.
-
- SENDING/CHECKING/FILTERING MAIL
- ===============================
- Fixed incorrect mail being printed from the mailbox TOC while the
- preview pane is hidden.
-
- We now have a new INI setting for controlling filtering of incoming
- messages in POP and IMAP. This can be specified per personality.
- The setting is FilterIncomingMail. Here are your options that you set
- for each personality (you have to manually edit your Eudora.ini file):
- FilterIncomingMail=0 --> no filtering at all (server side or other)
- FilterIncomingMail=1 --> Complete filtering turned on (default)
- FilterIncomingMail=2 --> Advanced filtering, IMAP server side only.
-
- Manual filtering will still be allowed regardless of the setting.
-
- Fixed a bug that could cause Eudora to crash while downloading a
- message from a POP server.
-
- Fixed a crash in the Filters window.
-
- Fixed a bug that was preventing Eudora from recognizing that a POP
- server has the MANGLE capability. (This allows the server to return
- a more useful summary of the message's content, including attachments,
- in cases where the message isn't downloaded in its entirety.) To fix
- the problem you need to use this URL: <x-Eudora-option:UsePOPMangle=1>
- QUALCOMM's Qpopper 3 is an example of a POP server with MANGLE
- capability.
-
- Fixed a memory leak upon sending a message.
-
- Turbo Redirect no longer works in filters. Formerly, it caused
- crashes.
-
- Fixed a bug where the Filter Report window would lose its column
- headers and mess up the data if it got new reports in to it without
- first being viewed.
-
- Fixed a couple of bugs in the handling of .msg files specified on the
- Eudora command line. No message was being sent if the path of the
- .msg file contained any spaces, even it was enclosed in quotes.
- Also, a signature is now included only if the .msg file contains an
- X-Eudora-signature header.
-
- FIND TEXT/MESSAGES
- ==================
- Fixed crash in Find Messages when it encountered a message without
- any headers.
-
- Find Text has been enabled for Filters. Use ctrl-shift-f to initiate
- the Find Text dialog while the focus is in the list of the filters in
- the left pane of the Filters window.
-
- Notes on Find Text for Filters:
- - It starts its search after the filter in focus.
- - The search will wrap around the end of the list and continue from
- the top of the list.
-
- Find Text now supported for File-New and Signature windows. The focus
- must be in the window that you are searching.
-
- Fixed a bug where Find Messages and Find Text were disabled when the
- focus was in the message preview pane.
-
- Fixed a bug where Find Messages would show the wrong results when
- searching by message priority.
-
- MAILBOXES
- =========
- Mailbox TOC status icons are now transparent.
-
- When prompted to rebuild a mailbox, we place a stronger emphasis on
- rebuilding the TOC index file.
-
- Data in the Size column of a mailbox summary is now right-justified.
-
- ADDRESS BOOK/DIRECTORY SERVICES
- ===============================
- Fixed crash with the Address Book when removing a recipient.
-
- Fixed "swap" button problem with "Make Address Book Entry..." where
- it would reset the email address field every time you clicked on
- "swap".
-
- Fixed the inability to change the email address when using
- Special-Make Address Book Entry... (ctrl-k)
-
- In the Address book, selecting some email addresses and Make Address
- Book Entry will now retain the Full name field.
-
- Fixed some UI issues with the Address Book.
-
- Address book can be exported to CSV.
-
- UI improvements for Directory Services.
-
- Fixed a crash that could occur upon removing an address from the
- recipient list with the address book loaded.
-
- Removed obsolete LDAP servers from the Directory Services defaults,
- and changed the default Ph server to ns.eudora.com (which might not
- be available for a few days).
-
- STATISTICS
- ==========
- Sent attachments are now counted in Statistics despite
- WarnQueueBigMessage=0.
-
- IMAP
- ====
- Fixed the inability to select an IMAP folder in Filter's Transfer to
- action. The problem occurred if the IMAP folder contained any
- mailboxes. Note that the "This Mailbox" selection will only be
- available if you can transfer mail to the mailbox/folder.
-
- Fixed problem where IMAP embedded images would get lost if transferred
- to a local mailbox or viceversa.
-
- IMAP mailboxes can now be sorted by server status.
-
- You can now make a toolbar button for transferring messages to an
- IMAP mailbox.
-
- Fixed problem with IMAP transferring into the same mailbox would cause
- it to be marked for deletion without keeping a copy.
-
- Fixed a bug where dragging a message with an attachment from a POP
- mailbox to an IMAP mailbox would lose the attachment if the attachment
- directory was no longer the default one.
-
- Fixed a bug where users of some IMAP servers could not download any
- messages because the server sent null characters in response to
- certain IMAP commands.
-
- Fixed a bug where copying a message from the Out mailbox to an IMAP
- mailbox would change the time of the message.
-
- Fixed a bug where FCC'd messages in IMAP mailboxes showed incorrect
- times.
-
- The Delete option is now grayed out for IMAP email that's already
- marked for removal.
-
- Directory names containing commas will now show up in IMAP.
-
- Fixed a bug in the IMAP internal message cache.
-
- Worked around for a non-standard attachment-related behavior exhibited
- by certain IMAP servers.
-
- A Resynchronize method was added to the IEuFolder Automation
- interface. This method will resynchronize any given IMAP folder.
-
- IMPORTING
- =========
- Fixed importing WAB and MAPI address books which used expand to
- addresses.
-
- Improvements to OE5 dbx file importing.
-
- Importing from Outlook Express WAB shows the first names now.
-
- Fixed a bug that caused some Outlook 2000 address books to not be
- imported into Eudora.
-
- Added support for importing from multiple Outlook Express identities.
-
- Fixed a bug with importing some Outlook Express mailboxes created on
- non-English-language versions of Windows.
-
- Corrected some warnings in the Windows address book import.
-
- Improved the File/Import user interface. Most notably, there's now an
- Advanced button that takes you to a dialog where you can directly
- specify the files to be imported.
-
- MISCELLANEOUS
- =============
- Fixed a crash at startup or shutdown which related to displaying
- your toolbar ad.
-
- Improved Netscape's interaction with Eudora where "Send Page" would
- cause Netscape to crash. There still might be some systems where this
- problem persists.
-
- Fixed problem where Eudora would not be used in Netscape even though
- Eudora is the default mailer.
-
- Fixed registration problem where Eudora would startup in a different
- mode even though you were previously in Paid Mode.
-
- Fixed esoteric plugin showing double options in Tools-Options.
- esoteric.epi needs to be copied from your extrastuff directory and to
- your main Eudora directory.
-
- Toolbar ad should now show up.
-
- Toolbar ad image should be retained after system colors have changed.
-
- <x-Eudora-option:OptionsHideCursor> controls whether or not the cursor
- gets temporarily hidden when switching categories in the Tools-Options
- dialog. The default is enabled.
-
- Improved synching with Palm conduit and large messages.
-
- Fixed a crash that occurred in the course of Kerberos authentication.
-
- Fixed a crash that could occur upon creating a new personality.
-
- Fixed a crash that could occur when you clicked on an ad in
- Sponsored mode.
-
- Fixed a bug where a task could hang around in the Task Status window
- and never go away, if the timing was just right.
-
- Fixed a bug where launching Netscape 4.74 while Eudora is running
- would freeze Eudora.
-
- Fixed a bug where an empty window could display at startup. It was
- supposed to be a notice about a newer version of Eudora, but no text
- was in the window.
-
- Fixed a bug where Eudora would use the CPU heavily for about 60
- seconds on startup.
-
- Newer versions of some system DLLs are installed:
- Mfc42.dll: 6.00.8447.0
- Msvcirt.dll: 6.00.8168.0
- Msvcp60.dll: 6.00.8168.0 (instead of Msvcp50.dll)
- Msvcrt.dll: 6.00.8397.0
- Consequently, a restart of Windows may be necessary after you install
- Eudora. The installer will offer to do this for you if this is the
- case. If you use Windows NT or 2000, then you will need to have
- Administrator rights to install this program.
-
- Fixed a bug where a great many spurious toolbar entries would
- sometimes accumulate in Eudora.ini, causing a noticeable degradation
- in Eudora's responsiveness.
-
- The size of an .mbx file (mailbox) file is now stored in the
- corresponding .toc (table of contents) file, so that if the .mbx file
- changes without Eudora's knowledge, we can detect it and avoid losing
- mail from the mailbox. In particular, this avoids a nasty problem
- that would arise when Norton AntiVirus 2000 would "quarantine" a .mbx
- file; if the user subsequently moved the .mbx file back to its
- original location in the Eudora folder, all of the messages in that
- mailbox would be lost.
-
- Finished fixing continuation of outgoing file changes after Eudora
- has been quit and reopened.
-
- Eudora.exe is now about one megabyte smaller than before.
-
- Fixed a tip of the day formatting problem.
-
- Further refined the way Eudora determines the folder in which to keep
- its data. The exact process is described in Readme.txt under EUDORA
- AND WINDOWS 2000.
-
- The Tools/Options dialog no longer shows categories for unavailable
- features in Light mode.
-
- Fixed a bug where the Sponsored, Paid, and Light mode buttons in the
- Payment & Registration dialog didn't have their background color the
- same as the system dialog background color. You would notice it if
- your system color scheme didn't use the standard light gray color for
- the dialog background.
-
- Fixed some resource leaks.
-
- Eudora now works with released versions of Netscape up through 4.75,
- as well as Netscape 6 Preview Release 1 and 2.
-
- Improved the appearance of the Directory Services and Filters windows
- at lower screen resolution.
-
- Updated the Auto-completion panel in the Tools/Options dialog.
-
- Fixed the tab order of the AutoCompletion panel of the Options
- dialog, and added a checkbox for including nicknames generated by
- plugins such as ESP. (The corresponding Eudora.ini setting is
- DoPluginCompletion.)
-
- The signatures, stationery, personalities, address book, task status,
- task errors, filter report, file browser, and directory services
- windows, and the mailbox, transfer, stationery, recipient list,
- personality, and plugin menus are now loaded when first used, rather
- than at startup.
-
- Changed the main window caption from "Eudora Email" back to "Eudora".
-
- Fixed a bug where the Task Status and Task Errors windows could fail
- to display everything they should have.
-
- Fixed a bug where Eudora wasn't setting itself as the default mail
- program in the Internet Options of the Control Panel.
-
- Fixed a bug where Eudora would start to check for a newer version
- every time it started up if it was in fact the newest version.
-
- The content of Eudora message windows is now accessible by other
- applications, via a subset of the Windows EDIT/RICHEDIT messages plus
- standard text-oriented Windows messages such as WM_COPY. The window
- class name is EudoraEdit.
-
- Edit/Copy now works in the Link History window.
-
- Reworded some items in the Profile & Registration dialog. You can now
- change your registration if you've already registered. Also fixed the
- tab order in that dialog.
-
- The profile "nag" dialog is now centered in the main window.
-
- The ad window no longer has a close box when it's floating.
-
-
- -------------------------
- NEW EUDORA.INI SETTINGS
- -------------------------
-
- This section describes the new parameters that are available in the
- [Settings] section of Eudora.ini in Eudora 5.0. For each setting, its
- default value is shown to the right of its name. If the setting isn't
- present, Eudora will behave as if it's present with the default value
- specified.
-
- You can add or change these settings without directly editing your
- Eudora.ini file by using the x-Eudora-option "hyperlink". For example,
- to set the value of the OfflineLinkAction setting to 1, you would:
- - Create a new message
- - Type <x-Eudora-option:OfflineLinkAction=1> into the message
- - Hold down the Alt key and click on that link
- - Click OK in the dialog that comes up.
-
- The new settings follow.
-
- BackupStatisticsDaily 0
- If this is set to 1, a backup copy of the Statistics data is made
- each day in the Eudora data directory. The name of the file is
- Stats<month>-<day>.xml, where <month> and <day> are replaced by the
- current month and day. For example, on September 7 it would be called
- Stats9-7.xml.

- ConnectionStatusCacheTime 2000
- How long to wait between checks of the Internet connection status, in
- milliseconds. On some systems these checks take a long time, so if
- Eudora is running very slowly and/or using a lot of CPU time,
- increasing this value may help.
-
- DisableStatistics 0
- If this is set to 1, no Statistics data is saved.
-
- DoPluginCompletion 1

- potentially by other Eudora plugins) in the Auto-Completion list. A
- value of 1 means to include them, and a value of 0 means don't
- include them.
-
- IgnoreEMSDelete 0

- are automatically deleted to avoid cluttering up your ESP mailboxes.
- If this is 1, those messages are preserved.
-
- MoodWatchDeltaTime 5
- MoodWatchThresholdTime 1000
- These control background MoodWatch scanning of messages.

- background MoodWatch scanning starts. MoodWatchThresholdTime is how
- long it keeps scanning, in milliseconds, once scanning starts.
-

- 98/2000/Me, the operating system supports scrolling menus, which you
- might find more attractive.
