To see the actions taking place in the background, select Tools-Task Status. The Whatsnew.pdf, which is installed to the directory where Eudora is installed, contains a detailed description of how background sending and receiving of email works in Eudora. * Account Wizard has been revamped to provide more options such as the ability import settings, mail and address book information from Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express and Netscape Communicator. * Support for Apple Quicktime 3.0 is provided. This allows you to embed and view a huge number of image file formats directly in your email messages. * Support for shift-New and Wizard-based "Advanced" new personality. * Added support for parameter substitution in mailto: URL's: $Name$ for real name $Email$ for return address (without real name) $User$ for Only username portion of email address. * Better error message for outgoing messages that couldn't be sent because the recipient was invalid/denied. It now returns more information from the SMTP server. * If you use Leave Mail On Server (LMOS), then be aware that Eudora Pro 4.1 performs this task differently than previous versions. If you go back to Eudora Pro 4.0.x, then your LMOS mail will be re-downloaded. NOTE: You will not lose any of your mail. SECURITY -------- This version inlcudes the fix for the potential security breach in Eudora Pro that could allow someone to maliciously send a file attachment to an e-mail causing files to erase or simply install a virus. We now give you additional options via the user interface to control executable code that may be present in some form in a message. * Tools|Options|Viewing mail|Allow executables in HTML content. This is OFF by default. * Tools|Options|Extra Warnings|Warn me when I launch a program from a message. This is ON by default. STARTUP/INTERFACE ----------------- * The progress bar displays activity for sending/receiving mail based on bytes. For received messages, each message gets an equal slice and the progress within each slice is done based on the number of bytes received. * Added "SMTP Server(Outgoing)" field to the Getting Started category of the Options dialog. * Special|Forget password(s) now brings up a window to choose any or multiple personalities. * Implemented a EUDORA.INI switch to control the Overwrite mode. Setting "AllowOverwriteMode=0" makes sure that the overwrite mode can never be accidently activated. It is possible if using the CTRL-INS or SHIFT-INS to accidently switch from Insert to Overwrite mode if they keys are not released simultaneously. * Personalities can no longer be created using reserved DOS characters (like :/\ etc.). * Added new Type-To-Select feature which lets you type in a name in the mailbox TOC to select the first message received from that person. * Deleting a read message that is being edited now causes a prompt to be displayed before deletion. * A warning dialog now appears if the user tries to change a personality between IMAP and POP while active tasks are running. * A warning dialog now appears if a user tries to change the server configuration while active tasks are running. SEND/CHECK/FILTER MAIL ---------------------- * Added new EUDORA.INI setting "NewMailUpdateFrequency", which defaults to 25. This is the setting that determines how many messages have to be initially spooled before post processing can begin. * Messages that have duplicate UIDLs are now logged in eudora.log if full logging is enabled. * Insert System Configuration now doesn't include win.ini and system.ini. * Eudora does not shut down a dial-up networking connection that it has not initiated. This behavior can be modified via the options for Advanced Network. The settings for hang-up after sending/receiving and disconnect on exit are only enabled in the case of eudora initiating the dial-up connection. * Added an option to unload the winsock.dll for trumpet winsock users under Tools|Options|Advanced Network. * Added a new EUDORA.INI setting "RasUseExistingConnection", which controls whether RAS should use an existing connection if one is available. The use of an existing setting is the default, as it was in previous versions of Eudora. * A personality cannot be deleted when active tasks belonging to it are running. * Fix for Chinese font with Chinese characters causing hang. * Fixed a symptom with the system timezone not being used when the timezone would not change for daylight savings - this only affected Windows NT. * Added a hidden EUDORA.INI setting ("MDNSendAddress", default to 0/off) that controls whether or not the actual address of the sender should be transmitted when doing a Message Disposition Notification (i.e. response to a read receipt). Helps get around a problem with some SMTP servers that try to reject spam by checking if the sender's address is in the same domain. EDITING/VIEWING/PRINTING MESSAGES --------------------------------- * Made change to outgoing message style to the following. If a message has some html markup that was typed in as the body of the message, such as when a person wants to email an HTML code snippet, then the message is forcibly saved as html. The html tags will then be marked up accordingly. * Fixed an issue where moving the focus to the preview pane would cause the last Undo action to be unavailable. * Fixed a problem where the sorting the mailbox by date caused some emails dates to be sorted wierd. * Paste as quotation now displays quoted text correctly when selecting multi-line text. * Header and footer information get displayed now when printing with the MS viewer (Internet Explorer versions 4.0 and later). * Fixed a symptom of HTML codes being displayed when replying to a formatted message using plain-text stationery. * The "ShowAllHeaders" optional entry in EUDORA.INI now displays all headers in a message window when set to a non-zero value. * Invalid GMT offsets causing incorrect dates are now processed better by Eudora. IMAP ---- * The Mailbox tree and the Mailbox menu are now identical in how they display folders and mailboxes. * Modified the "Find..." behavior when an IMAP personality is present. If the search began in a local (POP) mailbox, only local mailboxes are searched. If the search began in an IMAP folder, the search is limited to the IMAP account containing the mailbox where the search began. Added a new EUDORA.INI setting called "SearchAllImapAccounts", which if set to "1", the search will loop through all accounts regardless of where the search was started. * IMAP mailboxes are now correctly sorted in the Mailbox pull-down menu. * Mailboxes now get bolded even if "Tools -> Options -> Getting attention -> open mailbox" is not set. * Fixed an IMAP issue with blanks in mailbox names. Eudora now removes leading and trailing blanks when creating mailboxes - however, these are recognized in previously created mailboxes. * Fixed a symptom of check mail not working if mailboxes were not downloaded locally. * Filters with criterion of Header To: (or other related ones like Reply to:) contains should now be functional. * Added support for IMAPPort INI setting. The entry MUST be in the section for that personality in the INI file. * Fixed IMAP timezone problem - reply caused incorrect time displayed in Attribution (At xxxxx, you wrote...). * The size of a message on the server is used for IMAP TOC (Table of Content) summaries as the value of the size. * Changed the way mailbox bolding in IMAP works. Parent with a child that has unread msgs no longer un-bolded even if itself has no unread msgs. ADDRESS BOOK/DIRECTORY SERVICES ------------------------------- * Identical nicknames in different address books are now handled better when the nickname is selected from the address book. * Fixed a symptom of Eudora hanging with use of address book entries not ending with a newline. * Implemented handling of multiple values per attribute for LDAP databases. SPELL CHECKING -------------- * Added eudora.ini setting "InteractiveSpellCheck=0" to get the cool spell checking (red double-underlining) by default. Holding down toggles to the other mode of spell checking. ----------- LIMITATIONS ----------- * The import settings/mail is not supported for Outlook 97 and Netscape 3.x versions. * Offline support for IMAP is not implemented. * The file browser tabbed window does not display system dll's. ------------- BUG REPORTS ------------- If you experience something you think might be a bug in Eudora, please report it by sending a message to win-eudora-bugs@eudora.com.
