-
- THOR 2.3751 (31.Aug.96) 2.32ß Alpha Centauri
- - Fixed the crash when going to the next message on a system without any
- unread messages.
- - When entering a name in the entermsg-window that matched 100% with a
- name in the user database, the email address was not filled in.
- It's filled in now.
- - Fixed the bug introduced in the 2.31 "bugfix" that would move the
- current message too, no matter what combination that was selected
- with the Move Msgs function.
- - Trailing spaces on lines saved in the FSE will not be stripped
- away anymore.
- - Waitpointer when moving messages.
- - Support for the Forward event implemented in THOR. Availability
- depends on the system type.
- - Grouped Alpha works again.
- - Added SYSTEM argument to the ARexx command GETMSGARRAY.
- - Fixed a 4 byte memory wall overwrite introduced in the previous
- ARexx change
- - Haze level can be set on Kills too
- - added MLManager to the extern menu
- - A "Private" button for making a private reply has been added.
- - Due to the new button, the width of the main window is more than
- 640 pixels with a topaz/8 font. Therefore, THOR will setup a default
- fontset based on the included fonts, if no configuration has been
- saved (first time user). These fonts are not as wide as topaz/8 and
- generally look better.
- - Cleaned up the user search code a bit when in enter/reply window.
- - SAVEMESSAGE from ARexx using the CURRENT argument will make
- THOR reread the message from disk, instead of using the current
- read message since this message can be wrapped and changed in
- other ways to fit the listview.
- - Selecting download on TCP system configured for this event will
- work better now.
- - When clicking on a uuencoded/MIME binary that wasn't recognized,
- it would be copied to ram: automatically, which was a bug. Fixed.
- - Saving of MIME textparts cleaned up a bit
-
- ConfigTHOR:
- - The conference config window will not "loose" vital information on the
- currently selected conference after a resize anymore.
-
- THOR 2.3834 (12.Okt.96) 2.33ß Amalthea
- - Multiple attachment window added.
- - Clipboard support in string gadgets removed.
- - Arexx: REQUESTFILE supports multiselect now. A OUTSTEM must be provided
- with multiselect.
- - mark-o would not work correctly in one of the grouped readmodes.
- - the number of unread messages should now be updated correctly on
- entering a system with a system startup ARexx script that changes
- the number of unread messages.
- - Initial quoting will only use the first 3 initials now, and only
- if they are alphanumerical.
- - User search code changed again. Improvements?
- - The event window is now localized.
- - Moving the current message will reread it from disk so that any wrapping
- of text in the listview doesn't change it.
- - If a Reply-To address is present and the private reply button is used, the
- user can now select between using the Reply-To or the From address on the
- reply.
- - ARexx: Fixed a problem with SAVEMESSAGE and the CURRENT argument that could
- cut off lines.
- - ARexx: fixed the fullpath argument in REQUESTFILE when you selected a file
- in the default directory.
- - Forward will default to the mail conference.
- - ARexx: Fixed a strange bug which could result in incorrect .COUNT
- in the outstem variable on REQUESTLIST when you used multiselect and
- had nodes with simular content. Weird case.
-
- FSE:
- - Enforcer hits when scrolling upwards to the top with the mouse
- has been removed.
- - Extra empty lined previously saved with the text aren't anymore.
- - Moving the cursor with the mouse will restrict the movement to
- the end of the text on each line.

- tagged on anymore.
