Amiga Elm History =================== Version 9.24 - 9.27: - Now RFC1522/Quoted-Printable decoding not only for sender's realname, but also for subject and receipient's realname. INFO: RFC1522 describes encoding of non-standard characters (eg, 8 bit characters) within the mail header. Version 9.1 - 9.23: (only for registered users) - New in .elm/elmrc: "PrintCmd" finally implemented. You can define your own printing command. By default, it's just "copy %s prt:" which does the same as before. See "pipe command" for details (this is what Elm internally does with "PrintCmd" ;-) - Menu entry for "Extended group reply" didn't work. (instead "Edit folder" was executed due to a typo: "e" instead of "E" ;-) [Steve Flynn] - Fixed bug with very long lines (introduced in Elm version 7). Don't worry about this... Elm always prints a warning message, if it feels that something is wrong with the line length, the folder length or a message offset. [Klaus Heinz] - Forgot to add .elm/elmrc keyword "CancelledFolder" in the example .elm/elmrc file in the Elm.guide documentation. [Steve Flynn] - Config variables "AnswerReturnReceipt" and "AnswerReturnView" are now ignored when folder is specified with option "-f". See manual for other "limitations" when option "-f" is used. [Stefan Thielscher] - Fixed minor bug in aliases handling. - In compact header display (built-in pager) only the first line of long header lines will be displayed. Use "show header" function to display complete header lines. [Joachim Astel] Version 8.1 - 8.20: - Greetings from Eric Draven. - New in .elm/elmrc: "IconifyOnClose". If "Yes", makes close gadget an iconify gagdet (for those who miss the zoom gadget ;-) - Enhanced internal "get-string" code. Doesn't allow switching to alternative character set. And the built-in function "jump to msg #" now allows to edit the first digit you've typed. [Pascal Eeftinck] - After changing the folder ("c") Elm was sometimes confused if it should store read mail really in the received folder or if the current folder already was a received folder. This has been fixed, neither Elm nor its author can be confused any longer ;-) Version 7.151 - 7.157: - On main index screen, added 'D' (same as 'd'). - Fixed bug in "c)hange folder" where Elm tried to remember message flags although it shouldn't do that. (flags are only kept when re-syncing the current folder) - Fixed bug when launching "mailto" and "metamail". (software failure if failed _and_ command line was very long) - Fixed bug with external pagers (More, Most, Less, etc) where text file wasn't created properly (bug introduced in version 7). Version 7.138 - 7.150: - If folder could not be opened, lock on folder was not removed so that access from other programs was denied until reboot or next successful call to Elm. - For built-in pager: made "D" (shift d) the opposite of "d" in combination with the SkipIndex variable. If SkipIndex is on, "d" skips the index screen and "D" does not. If SkipIndex is off, "d" return to index screen and "D" skips it. Version 7.128 - 7.137: (only for registered users) - Changed default for "WarnReturnCode" from 1 to 10, because most users never read manuals or history files (like this one). - Some minor modifications in documentation (AppendSignature, Iconify command key). - Fixed some problems with re-sync ('$') and edit ('e') which were introduced with the new read-only-new-msgs-on-folder-change-feature. [Martin Jahner] - After uniconify Elm's window is brought to front. [Christian Stelter] - Made Escape-key an alias for Control-C to abort "q"uit and e"x"it. [Mike A. McAngus] - Updated scripts "EncryptMsg" and "DecryptMsg". [thanks to Ignatios Souvatzis and Peter Simons] Version 7.118 - 7.127: (only for registered users) - Some further enhancements to "SkipIndex" and skip-to-next-message feature. - Fixed bug with option "-z" which didn't override "QuitEmpty" from .elm/elmrc file correctly. Now it does ;-) - More intelligent 2-phase checking of folder changes allows much faster movement on main index screen and avoids scatter load of new messages. - Small changes to options menu. Version 7.1 - 7.117: (only for registered users) - New design for "send-off" prompt when in terminal mode. New switch to (not) archive out-going mail. - Fixed bug with static string (was too small, a relict from the past) when calling Metamail, which could cause Enforcer hits if the Content-Type header field was larger then expected. Now replaced with a dynamic string ;-) [Klaus Heinz] - Removed dozens of fseek()'s and ftell()'s, especially when reading in mail folders. You folders are now read in almost half the time. Envoy users may notice speed increase up to ten times (compared with previous versions). - Optimized search function (key '/')... is faster now. - Some minor changes in documentation. - Environment variable "HOME_ELM" offically documented now. - Iconify/Zoom-Gadget gone, use Amiga-i instead. - Iconify allowed only on main index screen. - Rework of window refresh code. - If new messages arrive, AmigaElm won't re-read the complete folder any longer, but only the newly arrived messages at the end of the folder. Thus, you should not edit the message contents of the folder while Elm is running... Elm won't recognize this any longer (because Elm does only consistency checks for the message offsets, not for the contents). If you want to edit the folder (in any way) while Elm is running, use the built-in edit function (key 'e') which causes Elm to re- read the complete folder. - AmigaElm now automatically tries to remember last selected message after re-read of folder. - When in built-in pager: key 'n' and some other keys (eg, ' ' and 'd') immediately jump to next undeleted message without displaying index main screen. (see also new variable "SkipIndex") - New in .elm/elmrc: "SkipIndex". If set to "No" and in internal pager, only key 'n' skips to next undeleted message without displaying index main screen. Version 6.20 - 6.24: - New in .elm/elmrc: "WarnReturnCode". When launching external programs (eg, sendmail), AmigaElm warns you (with a requester) if the return code (RC) of the program is "WarnReturnCode" or higher. If the RC is less "WarnReturnCode", AmigaElm ignores it and continues processing without warning. [Peter Simons] - New section "External Programs" in Elm.guide file. Describes utilities in "c" directory. - New section in documentation about AmigaElm and TCP/IP (Internet). Hints for configuration. Tips & Tricks. Some answers to common problems. Version 6.1 - 6.19: (only for registered users) - S:UUConfig and uulib:Config don't need to exist any longer, especially useful for IP-users (AmiTCP, AS225 etc). - New in .elm/elmrc: "AppendSignature", do you want to append the signature always, never or only if you're not replying to a mail. This makes old config variable "NoSigOnReply" obsolete. [Alexander Aulbach] - A "Metamail-Reply" (shift-m) in an empty folder could cause problems. [Dan Cannon] - Experimental RFC1522 handling (see V5.10-5.42) now case-insensitive. [Peter Simons] - New in .elm/elmrc: "MetaMail", do you want to start MetaMail on MIME messages always, never or should AmigaElm ask before starting MetaMail. The env variable "NoMetaMail" is obsolete. - Improved ^L (formfeed, ctrl-l) handling again. - A "From " line followed by a second "From " line (generated by some brain-dead mail-list software) is now recognized as beginning of a new mail message. [Rodney Hester] - If started in terminal mode, AmigaElm doesn't run MetaMail in its own window (see also "IOWindow"). [Carlos Amezaga] - New in .elm/elmrc: "IOWindow" sets characteristics of console I/O windows (eg, for MetaMail). This variable isn't really new... it's there for versions, but I forgot to document it ;-) - New default for "IOWindow", AUTO and WAIT added. - In terminal mode, before launching programs (eg, MetaMail), console (or whatever your I/O stream is ;-) is set to cooked (non-raw) mode. Version 5.10 - 5.42: - Now when launching programs, AmigaElm checks return code and pops up requester if command wasn't found or returned != 0. [Kai 'wusel' Siering] - New script "DecodeNeXTmail" decodes NeXTmail and shows contents in raw format. - Some experimental RFC1522 handling (special chars within header) for incoming mail. Please, don't expect this to be a full-blown RFC1522 support - IT IS NOT. And you're still NOT ALLOWED to use special chars (eg, 8-bit-chars) within the header of outgoing mail. - Special chars in own realname of outgoing mail are now automatically encoded according to RFC1552. You're still NOT ALLOWED to use special chars (eg, 8-bit-chars) within other header fields of outgoing mail. - Improved ^L (formfeed, ctrl-l) handling. [Stefan Scholl] - If Elm runs in its own window and is iconified, the close gadget is no longer ignored. It will exit Elm (w/o saving the folder) like it does in un-iconified state. [David P. Duggan] - Title bar displays current page number and total number of pages. (proportional font is recommended ;-) - If in iconified state, window title was wrong sometimes. [David P. Duggan] [still doesn't work... sigh, -amk] - New menu entry (with shortcut) for iconifying Elm's window. [David P. Duggan] - A "From " line followed by a ">From " line (generated by some mail-list software) is now recognized as beginning of a new mail message. [Peter Simons, Michael B. Smith, Christiaan Keet] - Keeping of old UID/GID of folder had never worked. Works now! [Ingolf Koch] Version 5.1 - 5.9: (only for registered users) - Fixed bug: "Send-off Window" didn't always open on same screen as Elm's main window (but on default screen). - On change folder (key 'c') status flags of messages in current folder (recognized by its message-ids) are no longer preserved. Status flags are only kept when resyncing (re-read) current folder. [Allen J. Newton] - On index screen, command key "=" jumps to first message in folder. [Allen J. Newton] - Command keys "j" and "k" now skip over deleted messages, "J" and "K" do not (like Unix-Elm). Keys "j/J/k/K" will also work from within built-in pager. [Allen J. Newton] - Environment variables LINES and COLUMNS override window bounds from Amiga console.device. (if env vars are set, no CSI sequence is sent) - Bounce-Flag for mails wasn't saved. [Christian Kaben] - MIME-Encoding "7bit" (Send-off Window) now re-enabled to strip off 8th bit in messages. German umlauts (Σ÷ⁿ▀─╓▄) will be converted. [Christian Kaben] Version 4.93 - 4.159: - Support for AmigaOS 1.x dropped. By now, you need at least AmigaOS 2.0 to start AmigaElm. - New sorting criterion: "Receiver" [Michael 'Mick' Hohmann] - In Group-Reply, double entries (To, Cc, From) will be deleted. [Kai 'wusel' Siering] - New command 'E' (Extended Group-Reply), old command 'E' (Export) gone. [Christian Stelter] - 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. [Kai 'wusel' Siering] - New in .elm/elmrc: "CryptMode", set default encryption mode for outgoing mail (Send-off Window). [Peter Simons] - 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. [David Duggan] - 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. [Matt Weatherford] - Cleaned up documentation for commands S)ave, W)rite and C)opy. [David Jameson] - Folder loaded with option -f (or FOLDER) was accidently deleted on exit if KeepEmpty=No, AlwaysKeep=No and all messages were read. [Hartmut Kuehn] - Key-shortcuts in "Send-off Window" for Okay/Edit/Cancel now work case-insensitive. [S.P.Zeidler] Version 4.1 - 4.93: (only for registered users) - 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) [John Dormer] - Totally rewritten code for getting char in terminal (raw) mode. (this fixes a bug in SAS/C's rawcon() if redirection is active) [Carlos Amezaga] - When in terminal mode: file notification (if folder has changed) now finally works, and CTRL-C (break) is detected. [Ralph Babel] - 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:". [Allen J. Newton] Version 3.94 - 3.99: - Mail now marked as read when reading encrypted mail (key 'y'). [Peter Simons] - Forgot to check for V37 when calling Metamail. (reading MIME-Mail with Metamail from within Elm under V33/V34 crashed machine because of V37-calls) [John Dormer] - Status-display when folder is (re-) sorted. [Stefan Scholl] - Two different SECURE modes, level 1 for use with MultiUser (muFS), level 2 for full security from within AmiElm. Read manual for details (list of inacessible functions). - Accidently disabled security mode "Encrypt" in Send-off Window. [Stefan G. Berg] Version 3.72 - 3.93: (only for registered users) - Now "change folder" disabled in secure mode also. - Lockfiles weren't deleted on "change folder" if the folder hasn't changed and didn't need to be saved. - Archive-Flag in Send-off Window was ignored. Mails were always saved to the specified folder, except when the command line option "-a/NOARC" was set. [Peter Simons] - Fixed corrupted warning-output to CLI if HOSTNAME contains FQDN. - The guessing of optimum MIME-encoding mode introduced in 3.1-3.73 didn't work correctly if "Append Signature" was selected when sending off mail [Martin Jahner] - Fixed re-sync bug if updated folder was empty and KeepEmpty=No. Fixed documentation (Elm.guide) on "KeepEmpty". [Martin Jahner] - If folder need's to re-sync then any outstanding commands (eg, entered within internal pager) will be ignored. [Matt Weatherford] - Source code now "indent" clean. (some warnings on first run, but no errors) - New placeholder "%S" for pipe command '|' pipes each mail separately. [Kai 'wusel' Siering] - Search command '/' now works in terminal mode also. [Martin Jahner] - Change folder command 'c' in terminal mode could crash machine. [Martin Jahner] - Content-Type is now "application/octet-stream" for "base64" encoding. [Kai 'wusel' Siering] Version 3.1 - 3.71: (only for registered users) - new in .elm/elmrc: AuxEditor, editor for terminal mode [Ralph-Thomas Aussem] - new command line option "SEC/SECURE/-sec" enables secure mode, so that users cannot start external programs, shells etc. [Christian Stelter] - fixed display bug (index screen) when folder was non-empty but contained no messages [Kai 'wusel' Siering]] - new in .elm/elmrc (and options screen): FilenameBuffer, not only remember last directory when saving but also filename [Thorsten Ebers] - new file .elm/smartheader, list of addresses (AmigaDOS patterns, one per line) -- if the pattern matches on one of the receipients (To,Cc,Bcc) then Elm builds a small ("smart") header - now aliases are expanded after every edit session - Elm.guide is now designed for V40 AmigaGuide - new in .elm/elmrc: ReturnReceipt/ReturnView, specify default addresses for Return-Receipt-To/Return-View-To (if other than $USER@$HOST$DOMAIN) [Steve Weatherford] - new option "H/HOME/HOMEDIR/-h/-home/-homedir", override $HOME [Henning Schmiedehausen] - new choice "Security" in Send-off-window, new command key "y" in built-in pager for decryption of current message; two new variables in .elm/elmrc: Encrypt, Decrypt - new in .elm/elmrc: Encrypt/Decrypt, programs for En-/Decryption - Elm now generates own Message-Id, and trust me: this Message-Id is absolutely unique! - some versions of Dillon-sendmail have problems when Message-Id is already present in header (second Message-Id is generated), use "NoMessageId" in .elm/elmrc to disable Elm's Message-Id - some optimization in quoted-printable encoding. - MIME-charset iso-8859-1 left out if body only contains us-ascii chars. - Elm guesses default for MIME-encoding mode (not perfect but usable). - Elm doesn't about anymore if Domain(Name) is unset. - Domain(Name) is ignored if Node(Name)/Host(Name) is already domainized (contains a period '.'), and warning is printed. - If an explicit folder is specified Elm does not ask if you want to store read mail to ReceivedFolder and on "Quick quit" Elm keeps read mail in current folder (doesn't store to ReceivedFolder). - "Quit" and "Exit" are now interruptable with CTRL-C. [Reinhard Luebke] - removed bogus output in index screen when a mail had no "Date: " - now messages are not tagged urgent if "Priority: " is equal to "normal" or "non-urgent" Version 2.188 - 2.253: - terminal mode changes: send off menu more verbose, send-only mode - if you specify a folder (via shell option) read mail is always kept in this folder when writing - new alias expansion allows up to 20 levels - Send Off requester: unavailable gadgets ghosted [Henning Schmiedehausen] - increased default notification delay from 10 to 60 seconds (automatic re-read when folder has changed) - now supports environment variable "HOME", holds directory where Elm searches first for .elm/elmrc, .elm/elmheaders, .elm/aliases, .signature etc. - corrected mistake in Elm's template - new config variable "CancelledFolder" (.elm/elmrc) where cancelled mails are saved - internal pager: character codes 0-31 and 128-159 printed as '╫' - new choice for "FilenameOffer" (.elm/elmrc): REPLYTO, useful for saving mailing-lists in one file [Thorsten Ebers] Version 2.155 - 2.187: (only for registered users) - Elm keeps old protection/owner/group bits when writing folder (OS 2.x only) - terminal mode changes: only one color, no blinking, title line, $LINES, $COLUMNS, some minor bug fixes, raw-mode, re-display, newline -> carriage return + newline (double fix), bounce, formfeed - MIME-Coding set to default if replying to base64-coded mail - period (.) at beginning of line quoted in quoted-printable mode (MIME) to avoid conflicts with buggy SMTP systems - "move to received folder" didn't work in previous versions [Marc Duponcheel] - status-flag "deleted" is now saved - now possible to start Elm for users without (existing) folder [Pablo Ramirez-Cano, Kai 'wusel' Siering] - small hack for CTRL-L ;-) Version 2.100 - 2.154: (not public) - bug fixed: OS 2.x doesn't know about scaled checkboxes [Christian Stelter] - there was a bug in the documentation for "ShanghaiWindows": it's not true that Shanghai works for all screens; your screen must be the default public screen !!

Elm didn't run under AmigaOS 1.x, cause of SAS' Auto-OpenLibrary "feature" ;-) Fixed. [Dave Wieringa] - Forgot to check for GadToolsBase -- all versions since 1.14 crashed unter AmigaOS 1.x.
