- Here is a list of the new features of WinBiff 4.0:
-
- o Filters can be used to prevent notification of low-priority
- mail, and to delete unwanted mail, such as "spam".
-
- o In the 32-bit version, WinBiff checks a specific dialup
- connection, rather than a COM port, before polling.
- WinBiff can dial and hangup the connection.
-
- o The WAVBase checks raw as well as processed headers.
- "From" and "From or Subject" strings are checked against
- Sender: headers, when they exist.
-
- o For Notes, accented characters in headers are displayed
- correctly.
-
- o Pegasus Mail messages on disk are correctly recognized as
- already read when the X-PMFLAGS: header so indicates, even
- though a Status: header may not indicate the message has
- been read.
-
- o In the 32-bit version, network errors are not shown in the
- event of disconnection during a poll. In the 16-bit version,
- such errors are not shown if the "Check COM port" option is
- used.
-
- o Eliminated spurious notifications for POP3 and IMAP4 when all
- messages are already-read on the first poll.
-
- o For MIME headers containing quoted-printable text, underscores
- are properly translated to spaces.
-
- o The Setup dialog appears correctly when using large fonts
- in the Windows desktop.
-
- o After deletion of a WAVBase entry, the current entry is
- now correctly displayed.
-
- o For Windows 3.1 and Windows NT 3.5, eliminated undesired
- screen artefacts when the icon is hidden over desktop
- wallpaper.
-
- Version 3.9b:
-
- o For Pegasus Mail files, when using the PMail/NetWare or
- Disk file message sources, the X-PMFLAGS header is used to
- recognize already-read mail.
-
- o The file browser in the Setup remembers the last directory
- visited. This is particularly useful when creating
- several WAVBase entries.
-
- o If the Minimize on reader launch option is chosen, and the
- mail reader is already running, clicking on WinBiff to restore
- or activate the reader will minimize WinBiff.
-
- o Up to five digits are allowed when specifying a polling
- interval. For 16-bit WinBiff, the maximum polling interval
- is 65,535 seconds. For 32-bit WinBiff, the maximum is
- 99,999 seconds.
-
- o For POP3 and IMAP4, the shutdown at the end of each poll is
- more graceful. Improved general WinSock error handling.
-
- o A window redraw bug that sometimes occurred when using the
- Disk file or PMail/NetWare message sources has been fixed.
-
- Version 3.9a:
-
- o InstallShield installation added, which allows convenient
- uninstall
-
- o Stay on top option added
-
- o Window caption indicates polling
-
- o Icon optionally blinks during polling. In Windows 3.1
- and Windows NT 3.51, it is actually the icon caption that
- blinks.
-
- o Support for custom POP3 and IMAP4 ports added
-
- o For Notes, if bad records are encountered, WinBiff
- continues to poll, instead of aborting.
-
- o Web, email, and ordinary mail addresses for contacting author
- updated in documentation
