New/changed in beta 9:
----------------------
* Deleting/moving of a *.MSG message during the personal mailscan was
not possible (sharing violation, ugh!). Fixed.
* Names found in the fidouser.lst are now properly capitalized.
* When fowarding/moving/copying to the same area, the exit errorlevel
would not be correct. Fixed.
* Changed the L)ist mode a bit (to make it faster when scrolling).
* Changed the swapper code (I moved to another library - it's a lib called
EXEC now, it was SPAWNO), 'cause some people had weird problems when
spawning the external editor. It would usually try to load a file called
'M' instead of "TIMED.MSG".
* In addition to 'ALT-A', you can now also move from the Message Reading
Screen to the Area Selection screen by typing just 'A'. (Great new
feature! :-)
* Using the CTRL-F feature (file request) with a message that had exactly
18 files in it, would mess up the status-bar at the bottom (the window
would be one line too large).
* When using the CTRL-F feature, pressing <space> or <enter> to tag a file
will also move the highlighted bar one entry down.
* Two new keywords: Confirm_Exit and Confirm_Delete, to replace the old
Ask_Confirmation keyword.
They now separately control if timEd will ask for confirmation when you
try to exit timEd (Confirm_exit <Yes|No>), and when you try to delete a
message (Confirm_Delete <Yes|No>).
* New keyword: Personal_Skip_Received. This is for the personal mailscan
(ALT-P).
When this is set to 'Yes', personal messages that have the 'received'
status will be skipped by the personal mailscan (so you only see unread
messages).
When this is set to 'No', the personal mailscan will also show messages
with the received status.
Please note that the personal mailscan always starts scanning at the
lastread pointer, regardless of this setting.
* During a personal mailscan, pressing the <ESC> key works much better
now. It should now really stop the scan :-)
* The same for the '+' and '-' functions (goto next/previous area with new
mail). This scan can also be aborted by <ESC>. In addition, the
highlighted bar in the Area Selection Screen will always be in the right
position, even after using '+' or '-'.
* When using the F)ind feature, ALT-R (reset all search strings) now also
works when editing a string (not only when editing the F)rom / T)o /
S)ubject stuff).
* New keyword: INTLFORCE <Yes|No>. With this set to 'yes', *all* netmail
messages generated by timEd will have an INTL kludge (instead of only
inter-zone messages).
In some environments this seems to be necessary. Do not use this unless
you really need it!
* It should now also be possible to spawn the external editor using a .BTM
file (4DOS batchfile). I'm not a 4DOS user myself, so I can't verify..
* AKA-matching now also works for CC: messages and aliases that fill in
the subject.
* New keyword: Netmail_Tearline <Yes|no>. This controls whether netmail
messages will have a tearline or not. Tearlines are not required in
netmail messages, although some programs (usually areafix alike
programs) use it to find the end of the message body.
* New keyword: Move_Notes <Yes|No>. This controls whether timEd will put
"Moved / Copied (from: xxx) by xxxxx using timEd" at the top of a
message that was Moved or Copied using ALT-M.
Please note that FORWARDED messages will still have the message.
Messages Copied or Moved using the L)ist mode will never have the
message at the top.
* Two new key combinations can be used in the L)ist mode:
'ALT +' : Tag all messages
'ALT -' : Untag all messages.
* Changed the code that updates the lastread pointer. It should now be
updated more accurately in multitasking situations.
* When timEd reaches the last message in an area, pressing <right> or
<enter> will have a message pop up, that gives you the choice to:
- go to the next area with new mail (<right>, <enter>, '+').
- exit the area and go to the Area Selection Screen (<esc>).
- just stay where you area (any other key).
Lazy readers can just keep on pressing <right> or <enter>, and cycle
through all their areas.... :-)
This function is controlled by a new keyword: End_Of_Area_Menu <Yes|No>.
When this is set to Yes, you'll get the menu.
With this set to 'No' timEd will just 'beep' at the end of an area, and
do nothing else (like the old versions).
* The 'reply followup' function (ALT-O) now has its own 'hellostring',
which is called FOLLOWHELLO. It functions just like 'hellostring' and
'rephellostring'. Example:
FollowHello "Following up a mesages from %from to %to:"
* It is now possible to save the search criteria (for the ALT-F function)
in an area.
Whenever you press ALT-S (Save) from the ALT-F screen, the information
will be saved (for that area only! So you can save different sets for
each area!).
Whenever you enter an area, timEd will check for custom search data in
that area automatically.
The information is added to the TIMED.DAT file (*.MSG areas) or the
*.SQT files (Squish style areas). These files also hold the custom
'hellostrings'.
* TimEd now allows you to use extended ASCII in several fields (header
editing, hellostring editing etc.)
