MR/2 ICE v1.22 Released
-----------------------
MR/2 ICE v1.22 has been released and is available from various FTP sites.
The change history for this release is at the end of this message. Check
the MR/2 ICE home page for ftp links:
http://nick.secant.com/mr2ice.htm
The files are also available via Pete Norloff's OS/2 Shareware BBS. Full
distribution file is mr2i122.zip (915k). To update any v1.20 or better
install, all you need is mr2i122u.zip (477k).
Eudora and Ultimail Converters
------------------------------
IN ADDITION to v1.22 being released, I have added EUDORA and
ULTIMAIL converters. These are fairly sophisticated, as they will convert
the folder structures to MR/2 ICE folder structures. The web page has them
under "Conversions". They're compiled REXX to protect the time I spent on
them from being misused. Next up: Post Road Mailer.
Price Increase Scheduled
------------------------
The price of MR/2 ICE will increase to $30 effective 01/15/97, and changes
will be made some registration policies. CURRENT registered users are not
affected by these changes at all.
NEW WAY FOR SCANDINAVIAN USERS TO REGISTER MR/2 ICE
---------------------------------------------------
You can now register MR/2 ICE via Berggreen Service, Denmark with payment
in Danish, Swedish and Norwegian Kroner. Berggreen Service accepts checks

Changes included in v1.21 and v1.22
-----------------------------------
o Address book can now be sorted via a RMB popup menu. This menu
also contains selections to add, delete and edit entries. More
items will be added ...
o Prefetch filters would fetch headers, but there was usually
trouble getting the corresponding bodies. Fixed.
o Alt-W, write to file's file selection box works correctly now.
o A move-to-folder now sets the archive bit of the file object.
o Menu items are better enabled when a prefetch filter exists.
o Timezone logic still did not correctly account for DST setting.
Should be fixed now!
o MIME associations are now referenced when attaching files. The
attachment will now acquire the Content-Type of a matching
suffix, if one is defined (e.g., a GIF will be marked as
"image/gif"). Otherwise, when a filename suffix match is not
defined, "application/octet-stream" is defaulted.
o MIME configuration page has a new checkbox. "Consider undefined
MIME types as displayable text". Defaults to OFF.
o MIME mutipart attachments (like those dredded appledouble
subtypes) handling modified. MR/2 ICE now explains your options
when you try to Message->Detach with one of these types. It
also will automatically invoke the internal viewer on these
parts if "detached" individually (same effect as "viewing").
This will save a ton of support questions.
o When detaching a part of an unknown encoding and unknown file
name, the system generated file name is correctly displayed.
Previously, an empty list would display.
o The advanced option to send a file as an attachment from the
command line was slanted towards the FAX interface. The command
line syntax for this remains unchanged. However, the following
commands will send a file as an attachment preserving the source
file's name:
mr2i /q:whatever.zip user_at_wherever.com "File for you!"
mr2i /q:*whatever.zip user_at_wherever.com "File for you!"
The second form of the command sends the file uuencoded, while
the first form is the default of MIME/base64 encoding.
o Rot13 is available from within the viewer (menu item is active).
o If text is marked when replying, that text is quoted into the
reply regardless of the state of the "quote source message"
global setting. This allows for you to "usually NOT quote", but
haveing a selection quoted when you need.
o Reediting a "save but don't send" message now send the correct,
modified version. Also, this flag was not always persistent across
loads. IOW, if you'd exit and reload MR/2, the system would
sometimes see the message simply as an "unsent". Fixed.
o Redirected messages work better with "folded" TO lines ...
addresses spanning multiple lines. I also noted some formatting
issues where Resent-to and the other lines were not "folded" to
look nicer. Fixed.
o Folder list may now be sorted by folder PATH.
o The system COMPSEC setting is now used when launching external
utilities. Hopefully this won't break anything ...
o The ATTACHED directory may now be opened as a WPS folder via the
Main notebook UTILITIES menu and also under the message
viewer/editor MESSAGE menu. More options and ideas yet to come.
o Notebook tab control. Options->Tab attributes is now on the
main notebook menu. You can control the height, width and font
for the main notebook. In addition, a toggle controls where the
tabs are located; either on the bottom as you're used to, or on
the right side. Tabs logic was reworked to remove major/minor
tabs ... NEWS will be "just another" minor tab on the main
notebook, with groups opening similarly to folders.
o Load time page selection. You may now load MR/2 ICE and have it
turn to one of the main notebook tabs when loaded. Simply
invoke with /1 for the inbox (defaults there anyway), /2 for the
outbox and /3 for the FOLDERS index.
o Shift-f10 is now available in the message editor/viewer to
invoke the context menu from the keyboard. It also works from
the header editing screen. Still working on the index lists,
but these are strange beasts :).
o Filter maintenance list screen now shows checkmarks for enabled
filters, empty boxes for those disabled. Click on a checkbox in
the list to toggle this flag on/off. No need to "edit"
individual entries if you simply wish to enable/disable.
o A couple of new "dummy" DLL's are included. The real ones
represent work-in-progress, but these fill the void without
adding the bugs.
