NewsCoaster homepage at http://members.tripod.com/newscoaster My personal homepage at http://members.tripod.com/Mark_Harman New for version 1.14: - Faster downloading. - Improved searching - in headers, body or entire message. - New option to add to the killfile based on a message (eg, kill on author, responses, etc), to make creating new killfiles much easier and quicker. - Option to reset article pointers in newsgroups. - Option to read in text from a file into the message you are writing. - Option to read in signature from file. - Bug fix - duplicate messageIDs weren't always being ignored. - Bug fix for dates on machines with non-English languages (you must select 'Update Index' on you newsgroups for this to take effect on old messages). - Aborting during move/copy/delete messages now works. - Option to update all indices. You can also abort updating an index, too. - Faster moving/deleting routines. - Other minor bug fixes and improvements. New for version 1.13: - Bug fix - when downloading from groups, in rare cases the article ID information was parsed incorrectly. - Group list is now not automatically sorted, allowing you to rearrange them as you wish (though you can do a sort if you wish). - Bug fix - now when you change the ordering of the groups list, NewsCoaster doesn't reread in the messages for groups unnecessarily. - Faster copying/moving/deleting routines. New for version 1.12: - New killfile - will detect a number given as the last word in Subject, eg, 'Make lots of money 1206' Such numbers usually indicate an advert or other off-topic announcement. You can now tell NewsCoaster to avoid these (when the number is 100 or greater). - Recognises '|' as a quoting character (before was just '>', ':' and '!'). - Bug fix when copying from a view window and pasting into a write window. New for Version 1.11: - Added 'Deleted' folder. - Added button on View window to delete current message and move onto next message. - When a new message is created, the folder no longer changes to 'Outgoing' (thus speeding things up, too). - Move/Copy doesn't require a folder change to the destination folder (speeding up things again). New for Version 1.1: - Email SMTP support! You can now reply to authors by email aswell as or instead of following up messages. - Search facilities. - 'Pop up' window on Write window to easily add/remove newsgroups to post and followup to. - Recognition of 'Followup-To: poster'. - Move and Copy messages to any folder. - Colours for quoted text have been set to something more sensible (no pink! - configurable colours will hopefully follow shortly..) - Fixed Authentification bug. - Fixed Move bugs when sending messages. - Changed shortcut of 'Close Window' on View window from 'c' to 'w', so you can copy text! (oops..) - Left and right cursor keys now move between messages on View window.
