Compatibility:SA RISC OS 3.1 and above -  History
Description: NetReader is a multi-purpose offline email reader. Although specifically designed for use with the CIX internet & email service, NetReader is also fully compatible with the Ant Internet Suite, being a direct replacement for Marcel as email reader (no news yet though!). NetReader has a simple built-in text editor to compose replies and compose new messages. This makes it easier to use for new or novice users.
Please feel free to offer feedback, as this application was originally designed to be used by me rather than make available to other users.
N.B. Please read the enclosed ReadMe files before use.
NetReader has a number of features which are unique amongst Acorn email readers, such as:-
  • Support for mailing lists, allowing a custom header and footer to be added to each message.
  • A high level of security for multi-user access, ideal for School & college network use.
  • Timed access so that network managers can disable/enable email failities during the week.
  • Forced replies to certain email addresses for certain users. This makes it easy to setup open-access reporting facilities for networks, such as bullying or drug abuse helplines.
  • The ability to 'explode' an inbox into multiple text files; with each message extracted to it's own text file.
  • Automatic statistics so that network managers can monitor system and email usage.
  • Semi-automatic management of mailing lists allowing you to subscribe and unsubscribe users, automatically sending them relevant text messages welcoming or saying good-bye.
  • Automatic censoring of message contents if required. (useful for pupil use)
  • Individual configuration settings for each user.
