Version 0.21 - 0.29: - gab es nicht, da mir die Umstellung der BS Ein- und Ausgabe (V0.30) wichtig genug war, eine eigene Zehnerstelle zu bekommen. Version 0.20: - Neue Optionen fuer uulib:Config : 'H' : ist dies Flag gesetzt, wird beim Lesen der Mail der komplette Header angezeigt; 'S' : ist dieses Flag gesetzt, wird die Signatur immer angezeigt, ist es nicht ge- setzt, so wird versucht, die Signatur nicht anzuzeigen. - Kleinere Codeaenderungen - Es wird versucht, den Realnamen in der From-Spalte des Hauptmenues anzuzeigen. - Die Speicherverwaltung wurde verbessert: frueher wurde jedes mal, wenn die Mailbox neu gelesen wurde, neuer Speicher fuer die diversen Headerstrings angefordert und nicht mehr freigegeben - wenn das Programm lange lief und die Mailbox oefters eingelesen wurde gingen jedesmal ca. 100-200 Bytes pro Mail verloren, die erst nach Programmende wieder freigegeben wurden. Version 0.19: - Kleinen Fehler beim Abspeichern der X-Flags behoben - Wenn in uulib:Config in der hwr-Mail Zeile das Flag 'R' gesetzt ist, wird, falls in der Mail 'Return-Receipt-To' vorkommt, eine Lese- bestaetigung an diese Adresse gesandt. Dies geschieht nur beim ersten Lesen der Mail, ausser wenn der Mailreader 'illegal' via X oder ^C verlassen wird. - Wenn in uulib:Config in der hwr-Mail Zeile das Flag 'W' gesetzt ist, wird in den Mailheader die Zeile 'Return-Receipt-To: @. eingefuegt - man erhaelt dann vom Empfaenger (manchmal) eine Nachricht, dass die Mail gelesen wuurde. - Mit 'O' im Hauptmenue koennen die Werte fuer 'ReturnReceipt'(R) und 'WantReturn(W) aus hwr-Config temporaer geaendert werden - das Config- File wird nicht veraendert. Version 0.18c: - uulib:Config wird ausgewertet. - Beim Einlesen wird das erste From: und Subject: etc. benutzt, gab falsche Angaben, wenn fehlerhafte Mail gebounced war. - Beim Abspeichern wird die X-Flags-Zeile nur noch einmal pro Artikel geschrieben. - Beim Verlassen des Programms werden die Flags immer geschrieben, ausser beim 'Notausstieg via CTRL-C oder 'X' im Hauptmenue. - Neue Funktion 'E' - speichert die Mail in einer Datei in 'UULIB:Folders' ab - Neue Funktion 'P' - druckt die gerade ausgewaehlte Mail - Das Messagedatum wird auf dem Auswahlbildschirm mit angezeigt. Version 0.18b: - das Einlesen der Mailbox wurde beschleunigt. - Die mit der Mail abgespeicherten Flags werden beim naechsten Start mit eingelesen und wieder dargestellt. Version 0.18a: - der Username kann uebergeben werden; uulib:Config wird noch nicht ausgewertet. Version 0.18: - das User-Interface wurde verbessert und ELM-like gemacht. Version 0.12-0.17: - Verbesserung der vorhandenen Funktionen - Implementierung neuer Funktionen Version 0.11: - Umstieg von Aztec3.6a auf auf Dice wegen ANSI-C Version 0.01-0.10: - Grundfunktionen noch in Aztec 3.6a
