Release Notes: Version 1.60B
June 30, 1993

__ Main Program__

 * WinNET now has a context sensitive toolbar, with mail and
   news contexts.

     In the mail context, the toolbar sports the following
     buttons:

        Print
        Call
        Inbox
        Folders
        Compose
        Reply
        Forward
        Delete
        Move
        Previous Message
        Next Message
        News
        Cascade

    When the News button is clicked (or a news related window
    is opened), the toolbar switches to the news context, which
    has the following buttons:

        Print
        Call
        Inbox (to move back to mail context)
        Reply
        Forward
        Post
        Follow-Up
        Copy
        Mark
        Previous Message
        Next Message
        News
        Cascade

 * New functions have been added to the main program, including:

    - A Previous Message function that works in both mail
      and news to move to prior messages.
    - A Copy Thread option is available on the news menu
      that allows the user to highlight any article in a
      thread and copy the entire thread from the news
      hierarchy to a mail folder.
    - Search functions similar to those in mail have been 
      extended to work for news as well.
    - The Queue Editor is now a WinNET menu choice (and has
      an accelerator key as well -- Ctrl+Q)
    - The preface "In article <message-id>, User Name (address) writes:"
      is now automatically supplied by the follow-up command.

      Additional Program Modifications:

 * The following accelerator keys have been added as an aid
   to more efficient operation of the program:

        Close               Ctrl+Hyphen (this closes any open window)
        InBox               Ctrl+Shift+I
        Mail Sent Folder    Ctrl+S
        Folder List         Ctrl+L
        Next Item           Ctrl+N
        Previous Item       Ctrl+L
        Reply to            Ctrl+R
        Forward             Ctrl+F
        Move Item           Ctrl+Shift+M
        Copy Item           Ctrl+Shift+0
        Address Book        Ctrl+B (changed from Ctrl+A)
        Queue Editor        Ctrl+Q
        Follow-up           Ctrl+U
        News Group List     Ctrl+Shift+L
        Mark Seen           Ctrl+X
        Tile                Ctrl+T
        Cascade             Ctrl+Spacebar
        Word-wrap toggle    Ctrl+W

 * A preference dialog item has been added -- Hide Old Articles --
   that, when set, causes articles previously seen to be suppressed
   from appearing in news group folders.
 * The operation of the Mark Seen function has been changed as
   follows:

        From the news viewer window, closes the window.
        From a news group folder, marks the currently
          highlighted item as read and advances one item.
        From the news group list, marks all articles in the
          currently highlighted newsgroup read en mass.

 * Added support for detaching binary files directly from system
   editor (previously, detach was only available from the
   mail composition or news posting editors).

 * The cursor now changes to an hour glass in during several 
   lengthy operations where previously it did not (such as when
   closing a mail folder with many deleted items).

 * When the user enters a comma in an address book name, this
   is now detected by the program -- the user is warned about
   doing this, and the program explains to the user that the
   comma has been automatically changed to a semi-colon.

 * Some minor changes have been made to tab order and default 
   buttons in address book dialog to make operations here 
   more intuitive.

 * The functioning of the Next Item button has been changed to
   close the viewer window when transitioning from a new mail
   or news article to one that has been previously seen, so that
   the user knows he/she has moved out of the sequence of new
   material.

 * Added support for adding the Lines: line to headers of articles
   created by WinNET.

 * Status of News Posts are not returned unless there is a
   problem.  (Return status on *failure* only).

 * The File/Close function now works for *any* WinNET window and
   added accelerator hey (Ctrl+Hyphen) that allows user to easily
   move out of any window without using the mouse.

 * The size of the Select Folder dialog box has been enlarged
   for so user's with many folders defined can select a folder
   more easily.

 * Various minor menu modifications.


    Main program BUG fixes:

 * Fixed bug where Move Item would re-load same item if cancel
   pressed on dialog box.

 * Fixed bug where move operation from Mail Sent folder doesn't recall
   previous move folder as default.  Fixed same bug in "Copy" operation.

 * Fixed bug which caused attached files with certain permission settings
   not to be recognized by the detach binary mail command.

 * Fixed editor bug that would not allow mousing down lines when
   caret positioned at last line of the document.

 * Fixed bug where closing a window when that window was the
   only remaining window left its status line below.  Now, the
   status line clears completely.

 * Fixed bug where "opening folder xxx, please be patient" shows
   in the status line area when user clicks the InBox button
   when the Inbox is already open.

 * Made viewers less "sensitive" to detection of control characters
   in text files to prevent them from being classified as binary (this
   leads to new line characters showing up as blocks on the screen
   and loss of formatting of articles that sometimes are posted
   to clarinet groups that have tron/troff control characters.

 * Preferences dialog box minor cosmetic cleanup.

 * When new mail arrives in mailbox, previously highlighted
   selection is now properly retained.

 * Fixed a bug that caused the Lines: line of the incoming
   header to be improperly parsed as blank if the number of
   lines: is less than 10.

 * Fixed a bug in system editor related to saving files with
   the default name of "noname".  When files are saved for the
   first time, the save file dialog box would allow the user
   to rename the file something more distinctive than "noname".
   However, the new name selected given by the user would not
   be reflected in the window title or status bar.  Now these
   areas are properly updated.

__Cleanup Program__

 * The cleanup program now has a full Windows "user interface";
   it is now controlled with buttons and dialog boxes.

 * Support for archiving newsgroups, on an individual basis.

 * Improved cooperative multi-tasking.

 * Settings retained from session to session.

 * The program can now be aborted in mid-session, without damage
   to news database, and without loss of state information.

 * The Cleanup "Days" parameter is now interpreted as >= days
   rather than > days, to avoid confusion and to allow deleting
   _all_ news by using a parameter of 0.


__Mail Man Program__

 * Better fault tolerance
 * Better cooperative multi-tasking.
 * Improved parsing of non-RFC headers.

__Queue Editor program__

 * New, and improved...
