IMPORTANT INFO FOR CURRENT USERS OF eMail-It ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you are currently using a version v1.x, then your current configuration/setup files will NOT work with this version and subsequent releases. There have been significant changes to this release and as a result, emailit.cfg and emailit.tcp contents have been altered. You have two choices to upgrade to v2.0 and beyond: (1) use the program v1xv20.opo that is in this zip file and it will convert your old files to the new format. This utility will rename your current emailit.cfg to emailit.cfb so you can go back to an earlier version of eMail-It if you want. The file tcpip.cfg will also be created/updated. (2) Delete emailit.cfg, emailit.tcp or tcpip.cfg and re-enter all the setup data again. If you are happy with this version, delete emailit.cfb, emailit.tcp and v1xv20.opo from your Psion or Siena and register TcpIp. IN ADDITION, please ensure you have no outstanding queued mail when moving to or from v2.0 as the From: header has been altered! Installation: Copy emailit.opa and tcpip.bin to your \emailit\ directory. Copy v1xv20.opo to any directory. Run v1xv20.opo to convert your config files to the new format. The trial period for TcpIp is 7 days. Scripts: If you are still having difficulty logging onto an ISP, the following 2 scripts should work in most cases [I think]. The 1st one is for ISPs using "Scripting", the 2nd for ISPs using an Authentication Protocol such as PAP or CHAP. ATZE0L0 OK ph$ : id$ : pw$ ~ (note: ~ is used if you get a frame error) ATZE0L0 OK ph$ CONNECT eMail-It v2.0 (Jul 8/2000) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Outgoing msgs which use 8bit chars in the msg body are mapped to the iso-8859-1 charset when being sent to the SMTP server. You may also use 8bit chars in the From and Subject headers. Incoming msgs that use 8bit chars are converted to the Psion charset if there is available memory. * Streamlined how POP3 servers are defined in Mail Setup. You can define up to 25 different POP3 servers and *each* have there own settings (ie. Leave Mail on Server, Truncate BIG msgs, How big is BIG, etc). * A few POP3 servers support APOP (a secure logon method). To use this logon method, set "APOP supported?" to Yes in the POP3 server settings. * An external Phonebook can now be defined using for looking up email addresses not kept in the emailit.nic file. The "Nickname Lookup" screen has been altered to accommodate this feature. * Unattach has been re-written. It will unattach Base64 and UUE encoded attachments and it also runs much faster. A bug in this routine which sometimes crashed eMail-It, has been corrected. * eMail-It will now accept "shut-down events" from the OS if eMail-It is just displaying a mailbox screen. * will zoom the main mailbox screen. There are 3 zoom levels. * The "Move msg" dialog box now displays available mailboxes. * A new Transfer Mail menu item has been added. "Express transfer" will first Receive, then Send, and then Discconnect. * eMail-It's icon has changed to reflect not just the 3c. * "Return RECEIPT" capability has been added. When creating a msg you wish a "return receipt" for, set the "RECEIPT:" field to the type of receipt(s) you wish to get back. eMail-It will add a "X-Request-Receipt" header to the msg so you can tell which msgs generate receipts. Delivery Status Notifications (DSNs) are generated by the Internet Mail System while Message Disposition Notifications (MDNs) *may* be generated by the email software the recipient is using at the time. NOTE: Within the framework of today's Internet mail, DSNs and MDNs cannot be relied upon as a guarantee that a msg was or was not seen by the recipient. Even if they are not actively forged, they may be lost in transit. Please note that eMail-It does not generate "MDN receipts" for incoming mail. * The algorithm that places an attachment onto a message was rewritten to improve processing speed. * If you leave your mail on the server, pressing ESC when you are asked where to start downloading from will result in no msgs being downloaded. * Most SMTP servers are adding security checks to reduce spam mail. If you use multiple ISPs, you now have the ability in Mail Setup to inform eMail-It where to get its SMTP server info. eMail-It will use your desired SMTP server parameters when your queued mail is sent. A validity check of this information will be done and the From: header will be completed at this time. * ESMTP is now used if the server supports it. * Only the first 255 characters of a truncated BIG message are displayed on the screen if you do not leave your mail on the server. * The "Edit nicknames" command has been renamed to "Access nicknames" and has the hot-keypress of . A dialog box now asks if you want to sort the nickname file. * The "Add a nickname" command has been updated so that it will fill in the "address" and "name" fields if possible. * "Nickname lookup" now allows you to place a nickname/address in either the To: or Cc: header and you can also do multiple lookups. Keep your nickname file sorted for better lookups. * A new command "Edit message" has been added. If used on a queued message, it will "delete" the original message, invoke the editor so you can edit this message, and finally queue the revised message. If this command is used on any other type of message, you will be able to edit it, but the revised message will be discarded if its length is larger than the original. * Bug fixed: The Reply-To: header is now correct. * Bug fixed: eMail-It v1.4 would crash if a POP3 server had 0 msgs on it and you leave your mail on the server. * Bug fixed: Msgs larger than 32k are now downloaded without crashing eMail-It and you can view the 1st part of a msg larger than 40k. * Bug fixed: Mail addressed to invalid nicknames are properly rejected. * Bug fixed: Help now displays if the mailbox is empty. TcpIp v2.0 (Jul 8/2000) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * TcpIp has been written in assembler and is now SHAREWARE having a trial period of 7 days. The fee is $30US or œ20 for a licence granting a single user to use a major release of TcpIp (ie. v2.0, v2.1, etc but not v3.x) as explained in the "Licence Agreement". * TcpIp now handles new ICMP msgs relating to "prohibited server/network access". * The cache will be deleted always or monthly depending on TcpIp Setup. You can manually add cache entries for server addresses. * CHAP is now supported. * An error which existed in the OPL version relating to the handling of timeouts has been corrected. * Corrected an error in PPP Link~s "state machine" algorithm so that PPP is started immediately after the script has completed. * TcpIp now checks if the modem is actually connected instead of hanging. * Improved what is displayed on the screen when trying to connect to an ISP. * You can now define between 25-50 different ISPs. How many depends on how long your ISP names are. * For spam/security minded SMTP servers, you can define ISP specific SMTP server details. * If you set the port handshaking to RTS, faster communications may occur depending on what your ISP wishes to happen. If you experience numerious frame errors, set the handshaking to RTS+XON. * TcpIp Setup dialog box has changed. * Under Port Settings, a "Port Open Delay" setting has been added which specifies the number of seconds to wait after opening the serial port, before sending any characters. Use a higher value for modems which use the port open event to "switch on". Some GSM Data Cards need this set to 5 - 10 secs. eMail-It v1.4 (Feb 17/2000) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * The maximum width of a Reply message has increased to 980 chars. * A 12-hour clock is now correctly displayed on the main screen. * When you forward a message , Word is now invoked for editing. * The "Word wrap" editor has been added as a "Preference" option. * The standard SMTP "dot stuffing" now takes place when you use the "Word wrap" editor. * Word is now used for displaying/viewing messages. * The "Send again" command prompts for changing header info. * You are now allowed to define three POP3 mail server definitions. * Screen displays, including dialog boxes, have been changed to work correctly on the Siena. * ALL messages are now downloaded from the server. However, in Mail Setup, you can specify if BIG messages are to be truncated. * You are now prompted for which message to start downloading from if you leave your mail on the server. * The command has been added to "un-attach" an attachment that has been sent in MIME base64 format. * All downloaded messages are now checked for format so as to simplify later processing by eMail-It. * You are no longer restricted to the internal RAM drive to create the \emailit\ directory. eMail-It now searches M, A, B, C (in that order) for the \emailit\ directory. * Corrected the timestamp on the System-Time: header. * Bug fixed: When sending your mail, eMail-It was not able to correctly send any further messages after a message with an attachment was sent. * Bug fixed: eMail-It ran out of memory after downloading a message bigger than 18k and would not complete certain housekeeping tasks. * Bug fixed: When sending your mail and a nickname did not exist in the nickname file, eMail-It or TcpIp sometimes crashed. * Bug fixed: BIG messages are now properly handled if the download process does not terminate correctly. (ie. if you wanted it left on the server, it will not be deleted on the second connection). TcpIp v1.2 (Feb 17/2000) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * TcpIp now maintains a monthly cache of DNS lookups, but this can be deleted manually in TcpIp Setup. * Revised the setup dialogs to separate the Port and ISP settings. NB: IrDA communications does not work yet. * Added a script timeout field for each ISP in ISP Settings. * Changed what is displayed when a timeout occurs while connecting to an ISP. * Corrected how PPP is negotiated with an ISP. * The modem cable info can be found in Walter Wright's Faxit 2.4 software documentation. http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/WalterWright eMail-It Version 1.3 (Oct 31/99) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Improved the speed in which a message is displayed on the screen * A few minor program changes to "Mail Setup" and "Reply To". * Some additional information added to the readme.txt file. * Minor revision to the Help file. TcpIp 1.1 (Oct 31/99) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * A new keyword (sp$) was added to the logon script.
