July 6, 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 17 files besides this Readme file (and it's icon) and 2
directory 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
    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.

This is Version 1.21 (BETA M) 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 maintenance version which corrects a number of bugs found with
Version 1.20.  A complete list of changes and the bugs corrected with
version 1.21 is given in both the AEMail.Readme file and in the
AEMail.guide file.

Version 1.20, which was released earlier this week, was a major update.  It
significantly changed the way messages were composed.  It allowed both the
creation of quoted-printable and BASE64 message bodies for transmitting
8-bit message text.  It also removed the restriction on the use of CED as
your editor.

The 1.20 version also used a redesigned command tool bar (in color and
smaller!) and folder tool bar and implemented cursor control of listview
displays and drag selection for users of AmigaDOS 3.0 and above.  Further
enhancements to the cursor control and command tool bar have been added in
version 1.21.

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.
