- Short: UUCP Mail-Reader, version 4 (4.159)
- Type: comm/mail
- Uploader: amk@cs.tu-berlin.de
-
- AmigaElm Electronic Mail Reader for all known UUCP packages (Amiga,
- Smith. Dillon, Feulner, etc.), easy to install and to use.
- Mostly compatible with Unix-elm (basic functions) and lots
- of additional features. AmigaOS 2.0+ required.
- Basic internal support for MIME (multimedia mail) and en-
- cryption/decryption (eg, with PGP). Also supports "metamail"
- and "reqtools" library 2.x.
- This is version 4 (4.159), Shareware, binary only. Registered
- version comes with full C source (and has better support ;-)
- (concept based on hwr-mail by Heiko W. Rupp)
- Author: Andreas M. Kirchwitz
-
- Changes since version 3:
- - New sorting criterion: "Receiver".
- - In Group-Reply, double entries (To, Cc, From) will be deleted.
- - New command 'E' (Extended Group-Reply), old command 'E' (Export) gone.
- - Corrected searching order for env-vars HOST(NAME), DOMAIN(NAME)
- and USER(NAME) according to the manual. The vars with NAME
- appended are only used if the one without NAME doesn't exist.
- - Elm exits if started in terminal-mode into background (run).
- - More descriptive error message if OldLocking is off but
- OwnDevUnit.library is not installed.
- - New in .elm/elmrc: "ColorBackground", "ColorText", "ColorIntuition"
- and "ColorPrompt". Old keyword "Color" is now obsolete. See manual
- for conversion of old color values to new ones.
- - New in .elm/elmrc: "CryptMode", set default encryption mode for
- outgoing mail (Send-off Window).
- - Encryption now supports three custom settings.
- - Keywords "Screen-*" in .elm/elmrc now also allowed without
- leading "Screen-"
- - In manual (Elm.guide): cleaned up example .elm/elmrc file
- - New shells (command "!") now opened within dimensions of window,
- not screen.
- - Fixed Enforcer hit(s) when loading non-empty folder, deleting all
- messages, resync'ing (empty folder) and then filling this folder
- with messages so that Elm has to resync again.
- - New keys: "J"/"K" skips to next/previous undeleted message
- - New file .elm/smartsignature, list of addresses (AmigaDOS patterns,
- one per line) -- if the pattern matches on one of the receipients
- (To,Cc,Bcc) then Elm appends no signature by default.
- - Cleaned up documentation for commands S)ave, W)rite and C)opy.
- - Folder loaded with option -f (or FOLDER) was accidently deleted
- on exit if KeepEmpty=No, AlwaysKeep=No and all messages were read.
- - Key-shortcuts in "Send-off Window" for Okay/Edit/Cancel now work
- case-insensitive.
- - Warning with domainized HOSTNAME and non-empty DOMAINNAME now
- only in verbose mode. (AmiTCP seems to be broken)
- - Search command '/' crashed machine if used under AmigaOS 1.x.
- (search command calls AmigaOS 2.x pattern-matching functions)
- - Totally rewritten code for getting char in terminal (raw) mode.
- (this fixes a bug in SAS/C's rawcon() if redirection is active)
- - When in terminal mode: file notification (if folder has changed)
- now finally works, and CTRL-C (break) is detected.
- - Now DOMAINNAME may start either _with_ period ('.') or _without_ one
- (or may be empty).
- - If connected to an Amiga terminal, Elm no longer needs LINES and
- COLUMNS. Terminal's width and height are now checked with WINDOW
- STATUS REQUEST (Amiga specific CSI sequence).
- - New in .elm/elmrc: "WBR_Timeout" (in microseconds) sets maximum
- response time for terminal to answer WINDOW STATUS REQUEST (for
- window bounds). Defaults to 1 (for local usage), must be set
- to higher value for remote connections. Only used in terminal
- mode.
- - New scripts "EncryptMsg", "DecryptMsg" and "DecryptFolder".
- Thanks to Peter Simons.
- - If outgoing mail is encrypted, saving is disabled by default (in
- Send-off Window) for security reasons. Because of technical
- reasons those mail is saved as entered in editor without
- modifications selected in Send-off Window. But be careful,
- you'll have the un-encrypted plain text on your hard-disk!
- - Pipe command "|" now works also in terminal mode.
- - New in .elm/elmrc: FolderDirectory, starting directory when
- changing folder (command key 'c') with file-requester, default
- is "uumail:".
