Subject: blueMail 1.2 - a multi-format offline mail reader

I'm proud to announce the release of version 1.2 of 'blueMail' with lots
of new features like:

  * UTF-8 decoding support
  * filter and search functions now accept '!' as logical NOT
  * areas can be marked for a kind of personal favourite area list
  * new sort option for letter list: sorting by sender's last name
  * scrolling of subject in letter list
  * different quote styles for FidoNet and Internet style areas
  * support for direct reply in personal area
  * bug fixes and improvements


What is blueMail?
=================

blueMail is a multi-format offline mail reader for Unix, DOS, Win32, and
other systems.

It supports the Blue Wave, QWK, QWKE, SOUP, OMEN and Hippo packet formats,
the Hudson and BBBS Message Bases, Unix mail, Eudora and is designed to
be a reasonable alternative to the Blue Wave mail reader. It has a full
screen, colored user interface built with the curses library.

blueMail is free, "open source" software, provided "as is", without
warranty of any kind, distributed under the GNU General Public License.
Its current maintainer is Ingo Brueckl <ib@wupperonline.de> and will not
accept liability resulting from your use or inability to use blueMail.

You can get the latest version from

  http://home.wtal.de/ib/bluemail


Requirements
============

 * Unix-compatible (POSIX) system, DOS with DJGPP, Cygwin with Windows, or
   OS/2 with EMX
 * curses -- tested with ncurses 1.9.3+, and PDCurses 2.2+
 * gcc (g++) 2.7.0+ -- may work with other C++ compilers, not tested
 * InfoZip, and/or other compressing archivers
 * GNU make *may* be required on some systems
 * PMODE/DJ (by Thomas Pytel and Matthias Grimrath) and UPX (by Markus
   Oberhumer & Laszlo Molnar) is recommended (and used) for the DOS binaries


What's new in this version?
===========================

You can find a list of new features and improvements in the history file
together with a list of new options for the configuration file since
version 0.01.

See INSTALL for the installation procedure, and the man page (bmail.1, or
bmail.txt for DOS, Windows or OS/2) for information on usage.


Tested Systems
==============

blueMail will run on multiple platforms, like

  MSDOS 6.22 (DJGPP, PDCurses)
  Linux 2.0, 2.2, 2.4 (gcc, egcs, ncurses, PDCurses aka XCurses)
  Windows 9x/NT (Cygwin, PDCurses)

and - untested -

  OS/2 (emx, PDCurses)
  NetBSD (ncurses)
  Solaris (curses)

(Please understand that it is impossible to continuously test blueMail on
all platforms, so there may be bugs on platforms other than my developing
platform DOS, but I'll try to fix all bugs I'll be told.)

If you get it running on a dissimilar system, please let me know (along
with any necessary patches).

This is an automated report about activity of our newsgroup
comp.os.linux.announce. It covers period between the 
previous report and the current one, ending 
on Mon Feb  9 00:05:02 CST 2004.

Note that we do not report the number of articles cancelled
after they got approved, because the cancellations are done
manually. Typically messages get cancelled by requests of
posters themselves.

Lastly, the statistics below are skewed towards higher numbers because
there are always some test messages from moderators themselves who
approve and reject them to make sure that our robomoderator functions
properly.

Hello,

Digital Room Correction 2.3.2 has been released and is available at:

Changes:

This version adds a sharpness factor parameter to the sliding low pass 
prefiltering procedure, adds an option to read and write double precision

too short to provide accurate results. 

Bye,
