 Conference Configuration feature and Adding and Dropping Conferences

Version 1.5c of Microqwk has a new configurable feature added which
is not documented in any of the text files included with it.  If you
generally download QWK mail packets from a Spitfire BBS as "Your Queued
Conferences" you may now configure Microqwk to show all conferences
available on the BBS or only those conferences that are part of your
conference queue.  This feature is supported now in Microqwk and will be
supported in Lakota when the current test version is made available from
Mike Woltz and Buffalo Creek Software.

Previous to the current test version of Lakota, if you downloaded a QWK
packet as "Your Queued Conferences" the CONTROL.DAT file that was included
in the QWK packet contained only those conferences that were part of your
queue.  The current test version of Lakota and the current version of
Microqwk (1.5) now support adding and dropping conferences from your
conference queue, but in order to add a conference you must first be able
to send a message to that conference.  Therefore Lakota is being changed
to supply a CONTROL.DAT file that includes all conferences available on
that board.  With Microqwk configured to show "All Conferences" you will
be able to send an ADD message to any conference on a board.  Configured
to show "Your Conferences", however, Microqwk will display only those
conferences that are a part of your current queue.

If you generally download messages "To You" or new messages from "All
Conferences" there will be no apparent difference in the list of
conferences that you can choose from.


 Sending and Replying to messages with carbon copies
Microqwk now supports sending and replying to messages with carbon copies.
Pressing CTRL-F5 to send messages with carbon copies and CTRL-F6 to reply
to messages with carbon copies allows the user to send the same or an
edited message to any individual in any conference.  The user may send as
many messages as he/she wishes until quitting by pressing <ESC>.


 QWK Extension Configuration
Microqwk will now allow any extension to be used for QWK Packets.  Dos
wildcard characters "*" and "?" may be used.  The addition of this feature
will require anyone using a version of Microqwk previous to version 1.5
to change their configuration and to renew the ini file by saving their
configuration choices.


 Formatted Replies
Formatted Output on replies is available from the Configuration
Menu.  If you toggle formatted output on, you will be asked for
the line length for your output and for the length to break for
a paragraph.  MicroQwk defaults to 70 character line length and
58 for break length.  You may also change these format parameters
from Qwk Mail by pressing ALT - F6.
Microqwk will not format commented text but will reproduce those
lines without break.


 SPITFIRE Deletion Record 
MicroQwk now supports the creation of an .SDR (Spitfire Deletion Record)
file.  Previous versions of MicroQwk and Lakota were limited to the deletion
of a message in the users message queue if that message was being replied to.
MicroQwk now can tag messages that you wish to delete from your message
queue, but are not important enough to reply to.  Pressing F8 toggles the
inclusion of that message in the .SDR file that is included in the reply
packet sent to the Spitfire board.  Lakota will then process this file
when the packet is unzipped and read.
With this feature it was also necessary to change the internal record keeping
on the status of each message, so as an addition several improvments were made
in their display while in the Qwk Mail viewer.

Pressing F8 while in QWK mail will toggle the Delete Unreplied Message.
A message that you have deleted when replying to that message will not
be affected by pressing F8.



 SFNET routed Mail
        MicroQwk allows SFNET routed mail when sending and replying
to a SFNET message when used with Lakota ver 1.4 and above. 



NOTE :
If you have a copy of Microqwk previous to version 1.5b, you should
re-configure and save your new configuration before attempting to run
this version !
