New Features:
+ TabooHeaders entry in [Miscellaneous] section of EUDORA.INI file is a

to the query with the additional filter that the record is a person.

1.1a10
------
Bugs:
+ Some nicknames getting dropped from recipient lines. Nicknames cannot
have the following characters in them: @<>()[],"' and space.
If you have any nicknames with one of these characters in them (in the
nickname itself, not the Address(es), you can have anything you want in
the Address(es) part), rename them so that they don't. PC Eudora now
doesn't let you name nicknames with these characters.
+ General nickname weirdness
+ Compact mailboxes sometimes happens when you click another button on the
toolbar of a mailbox

New Features:
+ MIME support (except character sets). Send and receive MIME messages.
There's a new section for the EUDORA.INI file called [Mappings] which
holds info when switching between PC, Mac, and MIME. The format of an
entry in the [Mappings] section looks like:
<dir>=<extension>,<Mac creator>,<Mac Type>,<MIME type>,<MIME subtype>
where <dir> is the direction of the attachment, which can have the
values "in", "out", or "both". Values for Mac and MIME fields can be
blank to match whole categories. Here's a sample [Mappings] section:
[Mappings]
in=txt,,TEXT,,
out=txt,ttxt,TEXT,,
both=doc,MSWD,,,
both=xls,XCEL,,,
both=jpg,,,image,jpeg
both=gif,,,image,gif
both=mpg,,,video,mpeg
There's two new icon switches on composition windows. The MIME switch
tells whether or not attachments should be encoded using MIME if it is
on, or Binhex if it is off. The QP switch tells whether text with
funny characters (> 127) should be encoded using the MIME encoding
quoted-printable. The only reason you would probably want the QP
switch turned off is if you are sending a message to someone who
doesn't have a MIME capable mail reader and the message has some
characters (usually because it's a non-English language) that you
want to be sent raw (not encoded in QP).
With this new support for mappings, old versions of PC Eudora incorrectly
mapped non-text attachments. This means that if you send a non-text
binhex attachment with an old version of PC Eudora to a new version of
PC Eudora (1.4 or above), the new version will decode it incorrectly
because it will be marked as a text attachment (long story shortened).
Bugs:
+ GPF on selecting Cancel when problems with emptying Trash on Quit
+ Some headers needed for a reply (e.g. Reply-To:) that are hidden by
Show All Headers switch causing malformed reply
+ Quitting by using Task List's "End Task" causes GPF
Tuning:
+ Password now encoded with base64 in EUDORA.INI file
+ Message windows opened low enough so that if the main menu is placed at the
top it remains uncovered
-----
2.0a1
-----
New Features:
+ Double-clicking on the "Attachment Converted..." line of a message
will open the document (you must have an association in your WIN.INI
file for the attachment in question for this to work properly)
+ Decoding of uuencoded attachments
-----
1.4a2
2.0a2
-----
Bugs:
+ Recipients strewn together as one big recipient
+ From line not correctly quoted causing truncated messages
+ Body and signature incorrectly being encoded using quoted-printable
whenever there is an attachment
+ Progress bar not shown for body and signature of outgoing messages
Tuning:
+ TEXT->HQX composition icon changed to TEXT->DOC to indicate text
attachments are encoded using whatever is specified in MIME switch, not
just binhex
-----
1.4a3
2.0a3
-----
Bugs:
+ Text attachments not getting sent, or sent incorrectly
+ GPF when sending mail and Show Progress turned off
+ GPF after typing in a long string in Configurations dialog
-----
1.4a5
2.0a5
-----
New Features:
+ TimeZone entry of [Miscellaneous] section of EUDORA.INI file can be used
in place of TZ environment variable
Bugs:
+ Empty recipient sometimes sent in RCPT TO: line
+ Various nicknames troubles
+ Quoted parts of addresses getting stripped
Tuning:
+ Using new version of Zinc
+ Addresses of nicknames with multiple addresses can be separated by a
carriage return as well as by comma
+ Nicknames now only limited by no leading and trailing spaces and no commas.
Address lines (To:, Cc:, and Bcc:) now get nicknames resolved first and
then get stripped of comments. So you can no longer do something like
"nickname (comment)" and expect to get the nickname resolved correctly,
but that's probably not as big a limitation as not being able to embed
spaces and some of the other previously banned characters.

2.0a6

New Features:
+ Set Status menu item under Message menu
-----

2.0a6
-----
New Features:
+ Automatic compact of mailboxes when closed, under 2 conditions:
1. Wasted space > 50% of total mailbox space
2. Wasted space > 5% of total free space on mail directory disk
To change these values, add the entries CompactMailbox% and
CompactDisk% to the [Miscellaneous] section of the EUDORA.INI file.
For example, if you like to compact more often, you could change the
values to 25% of mailbox space and 1% of disk space like this:
[Miscellaneous]
CompactMailbox%=25
CompactDisk%=1
Bugs:
+ Windows minimized during exit become very small when restored
+ Mailboxes sometimes get stuck in mouse down mode
+ Check mail/message sent time incorrect

+ Bug with non-MIME Content-Type: header

+ TEXT->DOC switch not being saved
+ Text file attachments inside message body always getting encoded using

New Features:
+ Return Receipt of sent messages (RR icon in composition windows).
CAUTION: many Mail Transfer Agents don't support the Return-Receipt-To:
header, and those that do will tell you when the message landed in the
recipient's mailbox, NOT when the recipient actually read it.
+ Tidy Attachment Dir switch deletes attachment files of messages when the
message is emptied from the Trash mailbox, and the attachment is in the
Auto Recieve Directory
+ UUencode support for attachments
+ Alternate signature choice
+ Double-clicking on attachment line in message with an attachment with an
extension that has no association brings up file dialog asking for
application to open it

how replies/forwards are formatted. QuotePrefix is the string that precedes
all lines in the original message, and QuoteStart and QuoteEnd are the
strings that get inserted before and after, respectively, the original

to type in text to send, and given the option to cancel, send that text,
or send that text with a <CR><LF> after it. Very useful for sites who
have challenge/response or dynamic passwords.
+ ATSendDelay entry of [Dialup] section in EUDORA.INI file allows a user
specified delay (in milliseconds) between characters sent as part of an
AT modem command. Also used when sending the EchoCancelString.
The default is 100 milliseconds.

items into the next column
+ Use of x-mac-type and x-mac-creator Content-Type: header fields for better
attachment interoperability with Mac Eudora
+ The EUDORA.INI file can now be separate from the mail directory and you can
use different INI files in one mail directory. To specify a different INI
file from the EUDORA.INI that is not in the mail directory, add a second
parameter to the command line, e.g.
Command Line: c:\apps\weudora.exe c:\mymail c:\inis\myeudora.ini
To use a different INI file that is in the mail directory:
Command Line: c:\apps\weudora.exe c:\mymail myeudora.ini
or
Command Line: c:\apps\weudora.exe c:\mymail\myeudora.ini
And for an even more tricky specification, if the first parameter is an
INI filename without a path, then the mail directory is searched through
the normal process of checking the EUDORA environment variable and then
using the executable directory.
Examples:
SET EUDORA=c:\mymail
and
Command Line: c:\apps\weudora.exe myeudora.ini
will use c:\mymail as the mail directory and c:\mymail\myeudora.ini as
the INI file.
SET EUDORA=myeudora.ini
and
Command Line: c:\apps\weudora.exe
will use c:\apps as the mail directory and c:\apps\myeudora.ini as
the INI file.
The DEUDORA.INI feature still works, and the DEUDORA.INI file is always
searched for in the executable directory (in above examples, c:\apps).

+ Memory leak in network routines causing WINSOCK.DLL not to be freed
+ Parenthetical comment in Date: header confusing Sort by Date

Cc:, and Bcc: lines of composition windows
Tuning:
+ Leading and trailing spaces/tabs are stripped in serial script files,
but can be retained if they are escaped, e.g.
send \ This text has a leading and trailing space\
is equivalent to
send \40This text has a leading and trailing space\40
or sending this text
" This text has a leading and trailing space "
+ Dialup parameters are no longer case sensitive, e.g. Hardware is now the
same as hardware
