- Welcome to Sam Spade
-
- Sam Spade is a network tool suite, with some extra features for
- tracking unsolicited email. It's freeware.
-
- This release (1.14) is a beta release, there may be bugs or
- missing functionality.
-
- The mail sending and scripting features are new. They probably
- have bugs.
-
- If you find any bugs please send me mail (spade@blighty.com).
- It would be useful if you can tell me what you were doing,
- and include a copy of any data involved (eg if it crashes
- when pasting email headers, send me a copy of the headers).
-
- Sam Spade has three sources of documentation:
-
- Winhelp: A traditional windows help file
-
- Online Help: You can read the HTML Help online at
- http://samspade.org/ssw/help/
-
- HTML Help: The new format for helpfiles under windows
- This requires Microsoft Internet Explorer (V4 works. MS claim
- V3 works too) be installed (you don't have to use
- it as your default browser, it just needs to be installed).
-
- HTML Help needs OCXes installed. You will be prompted during the
- install process to install them. If you are running Windows NT
- or Windows 2000 and do not have administrator privileges they
- will not be installed successfully. If so, log on as administrator
- and run hhupd.exe from the directory you chose to install in.
-
- You can select between HTML and WinHelp by selecting
- 'Edit', then 'Options...', then 'Help'
-
- The WinHelp documentation hasn't been updated since 1.04, so is
- somewhat out of date in places. The HTML Help version has been
- updated to match 1.14, and has a lot more information.
-
- See http://samspade.org/ssw/ for more details.
-
- Configuration
-
- Select 'Edit', then 'Options...', then fill in the boxes.
- See the online help for the details.
