Short: A FidoNet tosser for UMS and *.msg Author: johan.billing@kcc.ct.se (Johan Billing) Uploader: johan billing kcc ct se (Johan Billing) Type: comm/fido Architecture: m68k-amigaos Description ============ Welcome to CrashMail, a full-featured mail-processor ("tosser") for the Amiga. CrashMail has all the features you can expect in a good tosser and is easy to configure with the comfortable settings editor CrashPrefs. Many hours of work have been put into CrashMail to make it as powerful, stable and easy to use as possible. CrashMail can be used on a node as well as on a point system with high demands and can use both UMS and *.msg messagebases. CrashMail is a Shareware program. This version ============ - The UMS part of CrashMail has been almost totally rewritten, lots of things have been improved: o It is now possible to have more than one netmail area that uses UMS. Mail in the different netmail areas can be written to diffent folder. All you have to do is to specify Mail or Mail:folder as the Path in CrashPrefs/Areas. When exporting messages, mails in all folders will be exported when you scan a netmail area using UMS. o When importing a message, CrashMail now writes all kludge lines, tearline and origin to Comments. CrashMail uses this to make sure rescanned messages are as close as possible to the original. This is still not perfect and can never be perfect in an UMS messagebase since kludges have to be separated from the text. o CrashMail can now gate both ways between Fidonet netmail and e-mails with UMS. It was only possible to gate e-mails to netmails in previous versions. To send a netmail to an e-mail address, you have to write the netmail to the gateway address and write "To: user@domain" as the first line of the netmail. The gateway address ("Import gateway name") can be configured in CrashPrefs/UMS. Please not that CrashMail does not (yet) adhere to much of the German "Gatebau" gateway specification. o When exporting e-mails with CrashMail to a Fidonet->e-mail gateway running at another node, Maus addresses will be converted to e-mail addresses if Maus gateway is turned on. o When importing messages to UMS, it is now possible to override any domains specified in Origin lines. CrashMail will then use the default domain instead. Check out "Ignore domain on Origin line" in CrashPrefs/UMS. o CrashMail now sets the correct domain for all imported netmails. In earlier versions, CrashMail would always use the domain configured for the area, which of course would be incorrect for all other domains. o Sysop users can now set the originating address to use with the attribute keyword FIDOADDR. This might be useful for hubs or hosts who wish to use an alternative aka in the origin line. o CrashMail can now set the To field to "All" when exporting messages with empty To fields. Configurable with "Change empty To line to All" in CrashPrefs/UMS. - Much of the Areafix has been rewritten. These things have been added: o You can now configure a maximum number of lines in the AreaFix responses written by CrashMail. This was introduced since many programs can't handle too long netmails. You can set this in CrashPrefs/Areafix. o There is now a new Areafix command called %INFO. This command gives information about the configuration of the node. o Long tagnames will no longer be truncated in the area lists generated by the Areafix, instead information about such areas will be written to two lines. o Five new ARexx commands and command-line arguments have been introduced: SENDQUERY, SENDLIST, SENDUNLINKED, SENDINFO and SENDHELP. The NOTIFY ARexx command and command-line argument still works, but is just an alias for SENDQUERY. o It is now possible to use wildcards in the Areafix. Rescan and forward-requests are disabled when wildcards are used. o Updated AreafixHelp.doc to describe the new features. - The Strip Re: feature now also strips "Re[x]:" and "Re^x:" - CrashMail no longer saves the dupe buffer to disk if it hasn't been changed. - The format of the summary written after tossing mail has been changed. The only real change is that CrashMail now also shows the number of messages written to PKT files. - You can now configure CrashMail to bounce only the message header and not the whole message including the text when bouncing messages. Configurable with "Bounce header only" in CrashPrefs/Options. - The "Change areas" function in CrashPrefs/Areas has been rewritten and now works just like in CrashTick. - CrashMail now no longer leaves the configuration file open when it fails to reload the configuration. - CrashMail now also supports nodelists in Gotcha format. - A new version of NotifyErrors.rexx which can scan multiple logfiles has been included. This is the same version that comes with CrashTick. - The "Add" and "Add all" buttons in CrashPrefs/Nodes and CrashPrefs/Areas have been replaced by a single "Add" button and a cycle gadget that lets you decide if you want to select from all areas/nodes ot only from those with access. It now works the same way as in CrashTickPrefs. - It is now possible to have different default areas for areas auto-added in different groups. The name of an default area is now either just DEFAULT like before or DEFAULT_, for example DEFAULT_ABDE. The DEFAULT area is only used if no other matching default area can be found. Of course you can now have multiple default areas, and you are no longer required to have any default areas at all. This is especially useful to UMS users who now can have different prefixes for auto-added areas in different groups. - If an area was auto-added from a node that had "Get new areas" selected for areas auto-added in that group, the node would be added twice to the area. This is now fixed.
