What's New in Eudora 6.2 to 7.0.0.16

[BigDaddyEBK]

What's New in Eudora 6.2!!


ScamWatch

Eudora now warns with a tooltip warning when the pointer is moved over a suspicious link and warns with a dialog when a suspicious link is clicked.



Emoticons

Eudora now supports sending and receiving mail with emoticons.



SSL

Eudora now uses OpenSSL instead of Certicom's SSL Plus library for SSL negotiations.

When a server's SSL certificate is rejected for certain reasons (not trusted, expired, etc.) Eudora will now present a dialog asking the user if they want to trust the cert instead of forcing them to navigate a complicated UI to manually trust the certificate.



IMAP

Filtering of IMAP messages should now be as fully functional as filtering of POP messages. Manually declaring an IMAP message to be either "Junk" or "Not Junk" now informs the junk plugins of the change in the message's status. Improved user's ability to stop IMAP operations. IMAP users running on servers without UIDPLUS now have the option of allowing Eudora to score incoming messages even though it will not move messages to the Junk mailbox. Eudora will now only move junk messages to the Junk mailbox from the Inbox for IMAP accounts.

CHANGES FROM 6.2.3.4 TO 6.2.5.6
----------------------------------------------

POP
---
No longer continuing to check mail if the LMOS.dat file can't be loaded.

Extra checks added to make sure the number of messages returned in the STAT
command is the same as the number of IDs returned in the UIDL command. They
should always match, and if they don't then something went wrong and we now
stop the POP session so as not to go forward with corrupt data.

Fixed case where losing the network connection during the response to the
UIDL command would cause many of the already downloaded messages to be
downloaded again.

Fixed bug where POP personalities with no configured POP Account caused message
redownload when emptying the Trash and the "Delete from server when emptied from
Trash" option is turned on.

Leave Mail On Server file (lmos.dat), which keeps track of what messages
have been downloaded from the POP server, now backed up a configurable
number of times (default 10). Can be changed with <x-Eudora-option:LMOSBackups>.

More rigorous check for a valid number of messages in the repsonse to
a STAT command.


LOGGING
-------
Better logging for the reading of the LMOS.dat file.

Improved EMSAPI plug-in logging to show plug-in and translator IDs.

Improved logging for file I/O for mailboxes and In.mbx in particular.

Now writing the log info at the start of new log files.

Lined up columns and zero-padded seconds of time in log file to make it
easier to read.

Account and personality name added to logging of events in POP sessions.

Improvements to error codes logged on move/rename/delete file routines.

certificate.


MESSAGE DISPLAY & EDITING
-------------------------
Fixed crash with internal viewer trying to load some images (mainly GIF).

Fixed crash when displaying improperly formatted text/enriched messages that
are missing parameters.

Attachments with special characters and character sequences in them
(e.g. the ampersand character and multiple sequencial spaces) now displayed
correctly and can be launched successfully.

Changed URL launch operation from "open" to default, and is now controlled by
<x-Eudora-option:LaunchURLOperation>. This solves the problem with some users
who click on links in messages and get nothing or an "about:blank" window.
If this causes problems launching URLs, then change the value of this option
to "open".


MISCELLANEOUS
-------------
Fixed bug where message digest as mailbox attachment feature would use the wrong
MIME parameter for the name of the attachment.

Better error dialog information when encountering an unknown file error.

Badly formatted Date: headers now use the arrival date/time of the message.

Changed "Display graphics in messages" to "Show attachment images inline" in the
Tools->Options->Display panel.

Now using the domain in the Return Address for the domain part of the generated
Message-Id.

Fixed a SpamWatch crash when processing incoming messages
(memchr function of MSVCRT.dll).

SpamHeaders matching now case-insensitive.

[Copenhagen]

There have been many complaints about messages re-downloading and we have giving (futile?) advice about ways to solve this.

It turns out that this was a bug.

The new Eudora has a solution for this problem:

Fixed case where losing the network connection during the response to the
UIDL command would cause many of the already downloaded messages to be
downloaded again.

Fixed bug where POP personalities with no configured POP Account caused message redownload when emptying the Trash and the "Delete from server when emptied from Trash" option is turned on.

[Copenhagen]

We haev been trying to give (futile?) help for the About Blank issue, It turns out that this was a bug.

The "About Blank" issue has been fixed in this release.

Changed URL launch operation from "open" to default, and is now controlled by <x-Eudora-option:LaunchURLOperation>. This solves the problem with some users who click on links in messages and get nothing or an "about:blank" window. If this causes problems launching URLs, then change the value of this option to "open".
