goes Green instead of Blue. (I might remove this later, but it
helped me debug.
If there is no next unread message in the group it now goes to the
first unread message in the group. If there are no unread messages,

messagebase wizard. Hopefully this will fix it. Please let me know
in the XanaNews support forum om the forums.talkto.net server
Version 1.15.2.4 29/05/2003
* Default message base location moved.
Previously the message base was stored in subdirectories relative to the
location of the program file. For new users it is stored in the local
application data directory.
This change means that each user of your computer can use XanaNews
independently of each other - without seeing each other's messages.
I have incorporated a wizard for existing users. When you start
this version of XanaNews you will be asked if you want to move the
message base to the new location. Although it's optional, I
strongly recommend that you click 'Yes' to move the message base!
If you click 'Yes' the following happens:
1. The subdirectories for all accounts get moved to the new location
2. The 'Archive' subdirectory gets moved.
3. The 'Mail' subdirectory gets moved.
4. Sig files for each identity get moved.
5. Bookmark files get moved.
I have deliberately used the 'local app data' directory rather than the
'app data' directory so that your entire messagebase doesn't get
transferred in your roaming profile. It's typically too big to make
make this worthwhile.
The new location is now typically:
c:\Documents and Settings\
<User Name>\
Local Settings\
Application Data\
Woozle\
XanaNews
It may be in a different location on non-English versions of Windows.
* Reentrancy bug fixed in HTML message display. This could cause
access violations.

Version 1.15.2.2 20/05/2003

* The sound that plays in when XanaNews is in the system tray now only plays when
there are new replies to you.
* HTML display has been tidied up a bit. It's still far from perfect, but I
discovered how to prevent it running scripts, Java, etc. It now shows inline
images, background wallpaper etc. in Outlook Express messages. Because I
didn't get the right-click menu to work correctly I left it so that it still
displays the images separately at the end, too. so you can right-click on these.
* The Queued Requests pane background colour now gets set to match the Subscribed
groups tree.
* Bug fixed where double-clicking on dummy messages (ones with article no of 0)
could corrupt the message base.
* Fixed bug in Search to bookmark where each found message was displayed in turn,
slowing things down and making it look flickery
* Fixed status bar flicker problem (thanks to Leonel)
* Fixed bug where MIME messages with NNTP-style inline UUEncoded attachments were
not decoded correctly if there was no preamble text.
* Fixed bug where the green 'new groups' indicators could appear round a server
icon incorrectly (thanks to Leonel)

selected article to the Bozo Bin. Click it again on an article by the same
author to quickly remove them from the Bozo Bin.
- Articles you've already downloaded from the Bozo will then be displayed with
a 'Bozo' goofy-face symbol next to them. (Well as goofy faced as you can get
with a 16x16 bitmap!)

where you can add, delete or change Bozo details.

* 'Keywords' can search the author or subject instead of the message
body. Eg. instead of having a keyword of 'Colin' you can put

all the words are returned.

are returned

returned

with that quoted phrase are returned.

are returned.

nb. If (for instance) you read several German newsgroups, and several US
ones on the same server, it's easiest to set up two separate accounts
- eg. 'Claranet News' and 'Claranet News - German'.
