- What is WinMail?
- ----------------
-
- WinMail is our attemp to bring the Internet mail to Windows 3.0. WinMail
- it is _not_ a complete uucp package. It is only a mail reader/composer that
- rely on UUCP packages for the delivery task. Because of lack of information
- on other package's mailers, WinMail will only work with UUPC/extended. We
- will try to bring WinMail to other packages soon.
-
-
- New features/Bug fixes
- ----------------------
-
- o Aliases
- o Code Page convertion for International WinMail users.
- o Ability to read Unix type of mail files (no CR).
- o Ability to send messages with included files w/o editing them.
- o Better file handling.
- o And too many bug fixes to print. 8-)
-
-
- Special note about version 1.1a
- -------------------------------
-
- We found a major bug that prevented the aliases from working. All users of
- version 1.1 MUST upgrade to version 1.1a in order for the alias feature to
- work. If you've created aliases with version 1.1, you do not have to
- recreate them, they will work fine in version 1.1a. We are truly sorry for
- the inconvenience this bug may have caused you.
-
-
- PC/Unix networks
- ----------------
-
- Those running on Unix/PC networks may find WinMail 1.1 useful to read their
- Unix Mail. As of yet, it is not possible to send mail in that fashion.
- What you need to do to read Unix mail directly from the Unix systems is mount
- the mail spool directory of the Unix file system as a drive on the PC. You
- can achieve this task if you are on a Unix network and if you have PC-NFS(tm)
- or PC/TCP(tm) on the PC. Then create a user with the User/Create menu and
- specify the remote mail spool file in the mail box field.

- If you were using a previous version of WinMail, you must replace WINDLG.DLL
- by the new one in this archive.
