AEMAIL130 - Release 1.30 of AEMAIL
September 1, 1997


AEMail is copyright (c) 1996-97 by John F.  Zacharias, all rights reserved.
Permission is given to Beta Testers to test and evaluate the program in
return for feedback on the use of the program and reporting of any bugs
encountered.

This archive has 19 files besides this Readme file (and it's icon) and 2
directories with one file each:

    AEMAIL
    AEMAIL.inf
    AEMAIL.Readme
    AEMAIL.Readme.info
    Installer
    Install.txt
    Install.txt.info
    Install_AEMail
    Install_AEMail.info
    AEMAIL.doc
    AEMAIL.doc.info
    AEMail.guide
    AEMail.guide.info
    email.txt
    email.txt.info
    mailcap
    startnet.miami
    stopnet.miami
    registration.form

The directories are C which contains the display program "more", and S
which contains a script, AEMced.scr, for calling the CygnusED editor.  The
"AEMced.scr" script is no longer needed but is left in to show how a script
can be used to call an editor.

This is Version 1.30 (BETA O) of AEMail (Amiga EMail), an InterNet Mail
User Agent (Client), which can be used on an Amiga to retrieve mail from,
and send mail to, a POP server.  It requires a TCP/IP stack compatible with
AmiTCP and AmigaDos 2.1 or later.  AEMail has been tested with AmiTCP,
TermiteTCP, and Miami.

AEMail can also be used as a "MailTo" agent in WWW browsers, such as
Voyager and AWeb, which allow the user to specify such an agent for
composing and sending email.  You can also call AEMail with an already
composed message from another program and queue or send the message.

This is a major update version.  It adds clipboard support to AEMail and
also corrects a number of bugs found with Version 1.21.  A complete list of
changes and the bugs corrected with version 1.30 is given at the end of the
AEMail.readme file and also in the AEMail.guide file.

I had intended that the 1.30 release would also implement message fltering.
However, since clipboard support was ready and I had not completed the
message filtering, I felt that I should not delay any longer and get the
clipboard version out.  Expect the next major update to include message
filtering; although, minor bug releases may be released in the interum.

Also included with this archive is a special file called email.txt which is
a generally discussion about email.  Beginning users who are not
knowledgable as to how email works or are unfamiliar with some of the
termonology should read this file.

This version of AEMail provides certain features only to registered users
(those paying the shareware fee).  These features (not available to
unregisterd users) are:

    Ability to use multiple signature files.
    Ability to add user defined headers to a message.
    Ability to shrink or expand group entries in Address Book displays.
    Enhanced speed on message displays.
    Password protection for separate configurations.

For those of you that have used AEMail 1.15, you will notice that for
un-registered users, the display speed for messages will return to what it
was prior to release 1.15.

AEMail is now shareware with a registration fee of $30 (US dollars).  Read
the details of this in the AEMail.Readme file or the AEMail.guide file.

There is a very convenient Install script (Install_AEMail) for installing
(and configuring) AEMail.  It uses Amiga Technologies Installer program
which is included with the archive.  Please read the "Install.txt" file
before attempting to install AEMail.

If you are updating from a version of AEMail prior to 1.10 you should use
the "Expert" level of the Install script in order to locate where you
previously located AEMail.  Releases after 1.10 will be able to determine
where AEMail has been placed if you use the Install_AEMail script to
install both the prior version AND this version.

Besides the AEMail.Readme file, two documentation files have been provided:
AEMail.doc and AEMail.guide.  The AEMail.doc is a flat ASCII file that is
designed to create a printout of the documentation.  Except for form feeds,
NO FORMATTING COMMANDS ARE EMBEDDED IN THIS FILE so you need a file printing
program to print it out.

AEMail.guide, on the otherhand, is an AmigaGuide file.  It's icon calls
MultiView; however, after the install operation the icon's default tool
will be changed to AmigaGuide if you are running under AmigaDos 2.1.
