Short: Email client (SMTP/POP3) V1.6
Author: Jilles Tjoelker
Uploader: Menno Tjoelker <M.Tjoelker@nl.origin-it.com>
Version: 1.6
Type: comm/mail
Kurz: Email Programm (SMTP/POP3) V1.6
Status: shareware
Requires: AmiTCP/IP or Miami, OS V37+ (V2.04), 1 MB free memory
Have you ever found a mailer which has everything you want? I don't think
so. This yet another attempt to create a mailer. I am not satisfied with
the mailers which are present for Amiga. Some use MUI (I hate it!), some
have the terrible tendency to crash often, some are shareware with much
limitations (e.g. a time limit) and high prices, some are very slow, some
have poor support for using the same POP account from office and home,
and others are not strong in the feature department.
Iris is a figure from Greek mythology. Besides, the word means "rainbow".
Iris is a messager of the gods. She comes down as a rainbow. This program
belongs in the divine company of Thor, Pegasus and Eudora, and therefore
this name was chosen.
Features:
* You can double click on URLs to browse them.
* You can double click on email addresses to mail to them.
* It does not use MUI (but BGUI).
* It is stable.
* It supports Eudora's and Exchange's Priority and Return-Receipt header
fields.
* It has excellent filter capabilities.
* Extensive use of multitasking.
* Multiple signatures.
* It has an ARexx interface.
* Multiple signatures.
* Multiple selection in message list.
V1.6 30-Jul-1998
* Format of version strings corrected (in the program itself, in scripts and
in the guide)
* ARexx scripts corrected: address commands removed, so they also work
correctly when started from Iris invocations with port names other than
"IRIS"; IrisRMail.irx was buggy.
* New tooltype in the Check button: "USELABELS" to show labels under the
buttons. The labels are quite wide, so USETWOROWS may be necessary.
A click on the label is the same as a click on the button.
* All toolbar buttons now have shortcuts.
* Improved buttons. The old buttons were implemented in a dirty way and as
a result the spacing was large. Now the spacing is configurable and can
even be 0.
* New ARexx command "NEWMSG" to compose a new message (requested by Stefan
Blixth for use in OnyxBase)
* Getting mail sometimes failed to read some messages (specifically, from
mainframe TCP/IP) for obscure reasons; now there are error messages and
checks, but the bug doesn't occur any more.
