soyMAIL Release Notes and Change Log
                    ------------------------------------

With thanks to all those who, over the many years, have tried soyMAIL and taken
the time to report it wanting in some respect (and apologies if I've neglected
to acknowlege your contribution on this list).

                                *  v2.0.0  *
                                ************

  *  Licence moved from GPL to Apache-2.0

  *  x86-64 VMS supported

  *  No longer implemented for VAX

  *  TinyMCE update to v4.9.4

  *  Opened and destination folders have up to five most recent listed.

  *  CGILIB update to detect both VSI and HP(E) Apache socket option symbol.

  *  Better handling of memory allocation failure when processing huge message
     bodies.  CGILIB enhancement combined with minor soyMAIL modifications.

  *  A compose message page [Preview] button opens a separate page with an
     approximation of how the message will appear when received.

  *  Folder listing, Options and Contacts pages now have a default character
     set of UTF-8.  This may produce odd rendering for ISO Latin 1 and similar
     encoding in message origin addresses, subjects, etc.

     SOYMAIL_CONFIG [charset-default] and the User Options equivalent may be
     used to set an alternate character set (e.g. ISO-8859-1, Windows-1252)
     for these pages.



                                ************
                                *  v1.8.3  *
                                ************

  *  TinyMCE update to v4.6.4

  *  provide NEWMAIL Web Notification on non-focused soyMAIL tab/window
     (in part to address HTML5 audio start delay when non-focused)



                                ************
                                *  v1.8.2  *
                                ************

  *  TinyMCE update to v4.4.3

  *  Use 'ch' units with compose <textarea> widths for more accurate columns.

  *  Add version-dependent query-string to .css and .js resource loads in an
effort to make resource updates less painful (works with the big 4; Chrome,
Firefox, Safari, Edge (MSIE)).  WASD sites ensure WASD_CONFIG_MAP rule is
modified to include the "search=none" setting.

     *****  I M P O R T A N T  *****

     pass /soymail/-/* /wasd_root/src/soymail/* search=none

  *  VMS Mail 255 char limit mangling ISO encoded strings (MimeDecIsoString())

  *  Bugfix; MessagePrintView() missing SoyMailJavaScriptStuff()



                                ************
                                *  v1.8.1  *
                                ************

  *  TinyMCE update to v4.2.4

  *  Add "Confirm Send" checkbox to message composition page.  Checking this
     results in an "Are you Sure?" when a [send] button is hit.  This is
     intended to prevent inadvertant send before completed composition.

  *  Minor improvement to MIME processing.

  *  Minor bugfix.



                                ************
                                *  v1.8.0  *
                                ************

  *  Integrate TinyMCE v4.1.0 HTML editor.

     To migrate from an existing HTML editor to the intergated TinyMCE,
     replace the SOYMAIL_CONFIG [html-editor-load] directive JavaScript
     with a single asterisk ("*").  Any current or preferred HTML editor
     can continue to be used by maintaining the JavaScript initialisation.

  *  Support TinyMCE for non-ODS-5 deployment (period munger).

     Although soyMAIL itself has no specific requirement for installation
     on an ODS-5 volume, TinyMCE has file names containing multiple periods.
     soyMAIL can still use it on an ODS-2 installation.  See documentation.

  *  soyMAIL now cannot be used without JavaScript.

  *  Minor bugfixes.



                                ************
                                *  v1.7.0  *
                                ************

  *  Cosmetic changes to themes including the default (previous default theme
is available via 'default1').  Other new themes each have a trailing '2' in the
name and rely on the CSS capabilities of more recent browsers; MSIE 9+ (just!),
Chrome 15+, Firefox 15+, Opera 12+, Safari 6+.  The previous themes will
continue to be available and work with older browsers (which of course you
shouldn't be using for security reasons if nothing else).

  *  Message preview has been refined.

  *  New mail notification ("N E W M A I L") has been refined and modernised
"under-the-hood" (XMLHttpRequest()).

  *  New mail notification audio sources have been changed from WAV to MP3. 
WAV is no longer supported by soyMAIL, and a significant number of recent
browsers.

  *  Configuration directive [public-footer] allows an attribution to be
displayed below the message listing on a public page.  ("Thanks to ...")

  *  Configuration directive [site-style-sheet] <url> loads the specified style
after the theme (and can therefore also be used to override a theme style).

  *  Significant portions of JavaScript support have been un-inlined from the
executable code and deployed to the separate SOYMAIL.JS with the objective of
reducing response body volume (and hence some latency).

  *  Of course the usual miscelleaneous and minor bugfixes.



                                ************
                                *  v1.6.0  *
                                ************

  *  Message preview by hovering the mouse above the message button.  After one
second (configurable) a pop-up displays the first sentence or two of the text
of the message, plus any attachment count.

  *  User option [preview-after] allows the message preview latency (time
before opening the preview) to be specified.

  *  User option [preview-size] allows the message preview size (in characters)
to be specified.  This must be manually edited into the option file.

  *  User option [you-got-mail-at] provides for notification at (another) email
address of new mail noticed by soyMAIL.  CAREFUL!  It is quite possible to set
up an email loop here!

  *  WASD CGIplus persistence reduces response latency to some 50%-20% of the
equivalent CGI latency (depending on action).  Also reduces soyMAIL load on the
system.

  *  Configuration option [context-cache-expires] allows the duration of the
cached callable Mail contexts to be specified (in minutes, default of one
hour).

  *  Tidied-up some rendering wrinkles with Chrome and Safari.



                                ************
                                *  v1.5.3  *
                                ************

  *  To support authorized access to 'public' folders the [] token has been
introduced to [public-access] configuration mappings.

  *  To provide some specialized 'public' folder authorized access granularity,
to control which user can access what within that, a soyMAIL authorization
agent can return SS$_CONTROL0 (decimal 1545, a somehwat arbitrary choice) to
indicate credentials were OK but no access anyway.  For this to work
configuration directive [login-verify] must be -1 to force credential check on
every request (expensive).  The directive [public-no-access] controls the
response to the user.  If a string then a 403 response and the string is
returned.  If a relative or absolute URL a redirection is generated.



                                ************
                                *  v1.5.0  *
                                ************

  *  Better (well, working) PMDF IMAP integration.  Does NOT WRITE into PMDF
IMAP maintenance files.  Merges the VMS Mail folder list with the PMDF IMAP
'mailbox' folder list allowing soyMAIL to access PMDF IMAP subfolders (and
sub-subfolders, etc).  PMDF IMAP subfolders can NOT be created or deleted but
the mail messages contained in them can be.  Normal (top-level) Mail folders
can be managed by soyMAIL as usual.  PMDF IMAP should rebuild its own
structures to reflect changes made by a soyMAIL session.  The user option "PMDF
IMAP" checkbox enables this.

  *  Larger compose page contact lists will expand the number of entries
displayed when accessed.  This improves browsing of the list.  Clicking on any
part of the message edit panel will revert the list size to normal.  This
expanded contact list also presents a text field.  Into this field any
character or characters may be entered displaying entries containing matching
strings.  Successive matching entries may be stepped through using the
[<-Enter] key.  A leading vertical-bar ("|") matches against leading characters
only.

  *  Compose page, external contact (mailing) lists may now be in LDIF format. 
This allows 'corporate address books' to be made available to soyMAIL.  List
loading has been optimised allowing those with thousands of entries to be
efficiently accessed.  Using soyMAIL as a command-line utility to pre-process
the list (/LDIF=PURGE) can further improve loading performance.
 
  *  Support for non-Latin character set messaging.  soyMAIL has supported
reading messages in any browser and platform supported character set by
supplying the associated response charset header.  It is now possible through
user option and/or global configuration to compose messages using any such
character set.  Message read and message composition text directionality
(right-to-left scripts, e.g. Arabic and Hebrew, as well as the default
left-to-right) is also supported.  See Install and Admin document for further
detail.
 
  *  When reading a message, embedded mailto: URLs or email addresses now open
an addressed soyMAIL composition page (rather than the previous browser-defined
email agent).

  *  The [Add contact as:][_____] is now [Add contact as:][^][_____] where 
the [^] opens a child window containing the contacts page allowing immediate
edit and then [Save] of added contact.

  *  The compose page [Compose][^] (new window) button always opens an empty
composition page.  The [Compose] button continues to refresh any exisitng
message composition.

  *  For platforms not supporting suitable WAV play functionality used for
announcing arrival of new mail there is a 'three beep' announcement available
from the user options page.  The browser must support Java.

  *  User options have been reorganised into function-related panels. 

  *  User options and soyMAIL configuration now allows the message composition
values for edit rows, columns and wrap to be modified from default.

  *  soyMAIL autogenous login now supports password change, either with expired
password at soyMAIL login or ad hoc at login.  Autogenous login type (NETWORK,
LOCAL, REMOTE, etc.) can be configured.

  *  Using configuration directive [login-alias] soyMAIL autogenous login can
map from a user-supplied user name to another string that is then used as the
authentication username.  In this way the user can supply an alias such as
"Mark.Daniel" which could then be mapped to SYSUAF username DANIEL for example.
 
  *  Configuration directive [compose-user-from] when ENABLED allows a user to
enter a "From:" address on the composition page.  If DISPLAY then an
unmodifiable "From:" address is displayed.

  *  When [compose-user-from] is ENABLED a user may also prepend to signature
content, lines containing either or both of "[SMTP-from] <address>" and
"[SMTP-reply-to] <address>", setting the respective message header field at
signature load.  This allows a user multiple mail identities (or personas) each
conveniently associated with a signature.

  *  When directive [user-name-info] is ENABLED the status panel displays the
current login VMS username immediately preceding the status message.  If ALIAS
and [login-alias] is in use the login alias name is displayed.

  *  Configuration directive [include-file] can be used to specify a separate
configuration file to be loaded and processed at the point of inclusion.  These
can be nested to a depth of two.

  *  Administrators note that HTML editor initialisation contains a new
function HtmlEditorContent() that should be added to soyMAIL configuration if
deployed. See Admin and Installation document.

  *  NOTE that VAX platform development and support will be discontinued
following version 1.5 of soyMAIL.



                                ************
                                *  v1.4.2  *
                                ************

  *  To better support non-disclosure of recipients specify the "To:" address
field as "(undisclosed)"@undisclosed (which will be accepted by most mail
transport agents) and place the intended recipients in the "BCC:" field.  Any
address beginning "(any-string)" can be used, it's the delimiting quotes and
parentheses that are significant. 

  *  The number of HTML entities (e.g. "&Ograve;", representing specific
characters) understood by soyMAIL has been extended improving rendering for
non-English languages.
     
  *  Cascading style-sheets changed from "font-family: fixed, monospace;" to
"font-family: monospace, fixed;" improving default font handling on non-VMS,
non-Windows platforms (e.g. FreeBSD KDE).  CSS also include markup to better
allow links in header and footer panels.

  *  A number of minor bugfixes (see SOYMAIL.C for log).



                                ************
                                *  v1.4.0  *
                                ************

  *  Unread messages in the NEWMAIL folder (i.e. new messages) are bolded for
easy identification.  When opened from the list the bolding is removed and the
message no longer flagged as unread.
 
  *  The message listing page highlights (underlines) the message header text
(received, from, subject) the mouse is currently over (checkbox, button or
message header; requires JavaScript).

  *  A message may be opened in a new window/tab by clicking on any of the
message header field text (received, from, subject).

  *  The composition page [send-close] button will now also be active in the
parent window/tab.  After a successful send a parent window will then open the
current folder and list the messages.  Button behaviour in a child window/tab
is unchanged (closes the child).

  *  The composition page [signature] button can now have an optional
user-signature selector available to choose one of multiple signatures to apply
to a message.  These signatures are created via the options page.  A
user-signature must be optioned as the default for the selector to be present.

  *  The options page now provides an entry field below the default signature
selection option allowing a user-specified signature to be created.  Multiple
such signature can be maintained and selected from on the composition page.

  *  'Sent Items' folder can be specified to be NEWMAIL.

  *  Configuration now supports dedicated access where a Web service can
default to soyMAIL allowing empty access URIs and less cluttered browser
location fields.

  *  User options overridden using the [user-options-override] configuration
directive are now disabled in the user options setup page.  The overridden
option value is displayed but cannot be changed by the user.

  *  Italian language contributed by Francesco Gennai.  Many thanks.
soyMAIL now supports six - Dutch, English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.

  *  New configuration directive [login-acme-no-restrict] allows valid
authentications that have login restrictions (due to source or date/time) to
continue to use soyMAIL.

  *  External authenticator available via [login-agent] directive.

  *  (Somewhat lame) read history facility and user option removed.



                                ************
                                *  v1.3.3  *
                                ************

  *  New configuration directive [access-log] generates an NCSA 'combined
format' access style log file.  The log is designed supplement (not supplant)
the server access log with authenticated username data for soyMAIL autogenous
authentication (data that is no longer available in the server access log
because it is no longer performing the authentication).  Until this directive
makes it's way into the documentation please check function RequestAccessLog()
in module REQUEST.C for configuration information.
     
  *  A couple of minor bugfixes and refinements.



                                ************
                                *  v1.3.2  *
                                ************

  *  bugfix; Autogenous login under OSU (thanks Christoph Gartmann).



                                ************
                                *  v1.3.1  *
                                ************

  *  The composition page attachment browse function now automatically
initiates upload when a file is selected (with JavaScript enabled).  This
obviates explicit use of the [Attach] button.

  *  bugfix; Folder buttons not correctly establishing VMS Mail file and folder
context before being used to move messages.

  *  bugfix; MSIE (ahyup, all the others worked) not automatically setting an
uploaded attachment delete checkbox.



                                ************
                                *  v1.3.0  *
                                ************

  *  This is the "Tribute to Bill Korendyk's Doggedness" release.
For his persistence and patience when testing successive, broken BETA releases
:-) and for his thoroughness with each iteration.

  *  A soyMAIL autogenous (inherent, internal) authentication system.  It
accepts a username and password from a soyMAIL login page and authenticates
these credentials using internal code (either using $ACM service for
Alpha/Itanium VMS V7.3 and later or $SCAN_INTRUSION+$GETUAI+$HASH_PASSWORD for
earlier VMS and VAX).  This allows a more effective logout mechanism to be
used.  Encrypted credential data is propagated from request to request 
using a cookie (and so these must be enabled to use autogenous authentication). 
Of course, server-mediated HTTP authentication continues to be available.

  *  Constrain the width of the open folder and destination folder selector
dialogs for improved real-estate consumption with very long mail file or folder
names (in excess of twenty characters).  Only MSIE6 seems to have an issue with
this.  All the others provided an non-width-constrained drop-down option list
but IE kept the constrained size making it a little more difficult.  Hopefully
this will have been changed with MSIE7.

  *  Improve behaviour when operating with multiple mail files (DECwindows Mail
'drawers').  The [copy][move] destination selector refreshes the selector with
a mail file's folders (as appropriate and with JavaScript enabled).  Provide a
destination mail file name as well as a folder name text field.  Delete
non-MAIL.MAI (non-primary) mail files when they are emptied of all messages
(contain no folders).

  *  PMDF IMAP subfolders are now accessable.  PMDF IMAP mail files
(subfolders) are distinguished from VMS Mail mail files by having a double
trailing slash, e.g. "Example Folder //" and "Another // Example".  It is
important to be aware that soyMAIL does not implement the same functionality as
the PMDF IMAP server and so changes made to subfolder contents may not
necessarily be reflected when accessing the same areas via PMDF IMAP (though
I'm told it is pretty good at rebuilding it's understanding of the user's Mail
repository).

  *  Support EFS compliant mail file names ('drawers') for user mail
directories residing on ODS-5 volumes (though don't know how portable these
might be to other mail agent environments).

  *  Make the [delete][waste] buttons on the message read page be consistent
with that on the message listing (folder) page.  That is, change from 
[delete][waste][<<][||][>>] to [<<][||][>>][waste][delete].

  *  On the message composition page, attachments panel, a checkbox is now
present alongside the [delete] all attachments button (on the far left, above
the [attach] button).  If this checkbox is set all attachments listed in the
panel are deleted after a successful [send] (or [send-close]) of the message.

  *  New user option [DraftItemsFolder] allows the specified folder to be used
to store one or more composition message drafts.  This defaults to "Draft
Items" (English language version) but can be set to another name.  This folder
may be listed as any other can but selected messages are opened in the
composition page.  Messages in this folder can be deleted, etc., like any
other, though messages cannot be copied *into* the folder.  The previous
behaviour of the [save] and [restore] buttons are now superceded by this new
functionality.
 
  *  New user option [SentItemsFolder] WHEN SET (non-empty) results in the
automatic copy of successfully sent messages into the specified folder.  "Sent
Items" would be a reasonable English language setting.  Messages in this folder
can be deleted, etc., like any other, though messages cannot be copied *into*
the folder.
 
  *  New user option [WasteItemsFolder] allows the [Waste] button folder name
to be specified.  The English language default is "WASTE Items".  Messages in
this folder can be deleted, etc., like any other and of course [Empty]ed.  The
previous waste folder name "soyWASTE" is not longer used or the default.

  *  New user option [message-attachment-panel] when set to 1 allows the
message attachment panel to be placed above the message body.  This requires a
manual edit of the user SOYMAIL_OPTIONS.TXT (as it seemed a rather
idiosyncratic option and I wish to avoid cluttering the options panel).

  *  Purveyor Encrypt WebServer is now explicitly excluded from soyMAIL
support.  A significant issue has been identified as Purveyor corrupting
"text/.." response data with extraneous linefeeds if the script process
SYS$OUTPUT, 1024 character capacity mailbox, inadvertently fills during
processing (the symptoms of which have been reported on a number of occasions). 
Google groups for "soymail purveyor mailbox 1024".  There is NO POSSIBILITY of
this bug being fixed: http://www.process.com/techsupport/maintagreement.html
 

                                ************
                                *  v1.2.2  *
                                ************

  *  bugfix; CerealDataOut() perhaps those ambits were not the issue, set a
minimum buffer space of 256 (to catch possible zero-length data streams that
still need a hash).



                                ************
                                *  v1.2.1  *
                                ************

  *  Rework reply-all address compilation so that the original 'to:' goes to
the new 'to:', original 'cc:' to new 'cc:', and duplicate addresses are
eliminated.

  *  Make minor allowances for user option selected monospace font.  However
the three tested browser families all seem to handle monospace differently so
it's all very hit-and-miss.  Who selects monospace unless it's fixed format
anyway! (Bill? :-) 

  *  New user option [message-order] allows the message listing order to be
specified.  This currently requires a manual edit of the user
SOYMAIL_OPTIONS.TXT (as I did not want to have do a round of language-specific
message changes for an interim release).  Set to 1 for ascending order (more
recent messages towards the top - default) or -1 for descending order (more
recent towards the bottom). 

  *  Ackk!!  Looks like I'll need to reinstate the BETA test phase ...

  *  bugfix; ComposePage() HTML-escape the hidden signature.

  *  bugfix; ComposeTextMassage() retain quote-char as a string.

  *  bugfix; ComposeSendMessage() check reply-to for VMS address (Non-
info-WASD subscribers are lucky to have info-WASD subscribers get all of my
stupid errors winnowed-out before public release.)

  *  New configuration directive [vms-occluded].  This option when enabled
'hides' VMS-specific features and behaviours (e.g. the VMS user options, and
[extract] button described below).
 
  *  New configuration directive [disk-quota-percent]. This option controls the
user disk quota used percentage before utilisation notifications are generated.
These use the status information to notify the client of disk quota in use with
each folder opened once disk quota usage reaches the percentage.  It defaults
to 85%, can be disabled by setting to anything above 100, and made permanently
enabled by setting to 0.

  *  New user option [sig-file] allows the source of the signature file to be
specified.  That set by the VMS Mail configuration (default), a
soyMAIL-specific file (SOYMAIL_SIGNATURE.TXT), or none.

  *  The help "About" page now contains a disk quota report item.

  *  The message read page now contains an [extract] button (if VMS is
not occluded).  Selecting this button extracts the specified message parts
(attachments) as files into the user home directory.  File names are prefixed
with "SOYMAIL-" to avoid clashes with non-soyMAIL files in the area.  The rest
of the file name is generated from the part name.

  *  Identify and make available any HTML content in a non-MIME message or in
MIME text/plain in-line content.  Requested functionality for the occasional
broken message that gets through.

*  The message composition page now provides for the selective [forward]ing
(from the message read page) of MIME attachments (without the [save] and
're-attach' of prior versions).  It also indicates the presence of MIME
attachments in the original by introducing [[attachment-name]] into the message
text of [reply..]ed-to messages.

  *  The message composition page has had significant JavaScript enhancements
to refine address entry and message reset/clear/new functionality.  This
reduces the number of times the composition page needs to makes a request of
the soyMAIL server.  The [normal/wide] button has been replaced with one
divided into two segments, [20 x 72] (initial value).  The left controls the
number of text rows, the right the number of text columns.

  *  The RFC "Date:" field is now derived from the client browser (via
JavaScript if enabled) rather than from the system soyMAIL is executing on to
better represent message origination date/time.

  *  Configuration directive [SMTP-default-host] has proved to be problematic
when interacting with genuine VMS addresses.  As a result a VMS address has
been defined to be one containing a node specification (i.e. "::") or an all
upper-case string.  Either of these characteristics is used to determine
address type (Internet or VMS) and additional checks have been provided to
ensure that appropriate addresses are supplied for copy-self, etc.

  *  Search "Results page every:" option now has an "all hits" item which will
return a single listing containing all hits.

  *  German versions of the help files thanks to Karl Rohwedder. 

  *  New language file messages; [about_disk_quota], [disk_quota_used],
[attach_extract], [attach_extract_done], [option_soy_sig_file],
[option_soy_sig_file_default], [option_soy_sig_file_soymail]
and [option_soy_sig_file_none].

  *  Remove language file messages; [vms_foreign], [compose_edit_normal],
[compose_edit_wide].

  *  Modify language file messages; [option_vms_sigfile] to [option_sigfile],
[option_vms_sigfile_save] to [option_sigfile_save].

  *  bugfix; Contact import and merge were severely broken (the author must
have been clinically brain-dead at the time).  They now work correctly.  All
contact delete/edit/add/merge/import functionality from the contact maintenance
page must be [save]ed to make the changes permanent.
 
  *  bugfix; ContactsLoadFile() do not munge (upper-case or otherwise fiddle
with) non-personal (i.e. site-specific) contact file name.

  *  bugfix; HtmlSkipTagTo() used when sanitising HTML did not allow for
single or double quotation marks outside of markup tags.

                                *  v1.1.1  *
                                ************

  *  Configuration directive [smtp-server-host] now allows a port number to be
specified with the SMTP server host domain name (i.e. "the.host.name:25").

  *  Anchors created from Web URLS presented on the message read page are now
split into two halves.  The left side opens the link in the same window
(target="_top") and the right in a child window (target="_blank").

  *  Do not infinitely increase the number of 'RE:' or 'FW:' (and any
language-specific equivalents) in subject lines generated by the compose page. 
Leave at one, single leading instance of each.

  *  Optimise search activities (in particular) at CallMailMessageHeader() by
completely replacing mail$message_get() with mail$message_info() and adding
mail$message_get() to CallMailMessageGet() for non-external mail messages only. 
This change was suggested by Dave Jones after investigations demonstrated a
reduction to 35% of original search durations by eliminating an RMS file open
implicit in mail$message_get() with external message files.  My own testing has
shown this delivers a reduction to between 65% and 45% of previous search times
depending on the search parameters and the directory content.  In other words;
well worth the modification but YMMV.

  *  Specialized user option [accessability-1] enables a heavy underscore
beneath the detail of each message on the folder message listing page.  This is
intended to assist those with vision impairment to differentiate each message
displayed against it's associated button.  This option must be manually enabled
by editing the user options file.

  *  bugfix; AddressIsRfc() RFC2822 only allows the double quotation character
(0x34) to quote, while AddressIsRfc() and MtaAddressExtract() allows backslash
(0x92) to escape a single character.

  *  bugfix; PublicMessageRequest() detect [search] button.

  *  bugfix; ContactsLoadFile() set 'rdptr->ContactsTextPtr = NULL' after
parsing LDIF content so that an empty LDIF file is not confused with a VMS
mailing list.

  *  bugfix; CallMailFileList() parsing of directory entry name length and
entry flags (per Dave Jones) and use memmove() for shuffling inside the one
buffer.

                                ************

  *  Add configuration directive [private-request].  By default private access
is recognised with a path (excludes the script component) beginning "/~".  This
can be overridden using the [private-request] configuration directive.  It is
intended to be used inside a conditional configuration test to indicate that
this request is for private access to mail.  It disables use of the "/~"
sentinel.  This 'conditional' approach was considered the more flexible.

  *  Add configuration directive [update-last-login] with parameter INTERACTIVE 
or NON-INTERACTIVE.  For each initial (GET) session the SYSUAF entry for the
authenticated username has it's last-login (interactive or non-interactive)
date/time updated.

  *  Christoph Gartmann reports that Camino, Safari and Opera browsers on the
Macintosh platform are suitable for soyMAIL (in that order and with some very
minor inconsistencies).

  *  bugfix; ComposeSelfAddress() miscalculation of size for calloc() under
certain combinations of source address components.

  *  bugfix; RequestPublic() parsing folder with GET.

                                ************

  *  On the private and public message display (read) page precede each message
part/attachment with an anchor/link to allow a right-click, browser
'save-target-as' dialog to be initiated, so allowing the part easily to be
saved on the browser-local system.

  *  Configuration directive [public-access] now supports a wildcard folder
result (à la yahMAIL) allowing browsing of a public access folders.  There are
now three variations on public access.

  *  Public access now supports searching.  The configuration directive
[search-control] may be used to disable and tailor this to suit requirements.

  *  A child ([^]) compose window now has the additional button [send-close]
available.  After a successful message send the compose window is automatically
closed.

  *  Message [compose_send_close] added.

  *  LangLoad() in conjunction with LANGDEF.H used to provide details on
missing/extra entries in a language file when SOYMAIL$WATCH is defined.  When
messages are added/deleted or names changed the data in LANGDEF.H must now be
changed (as well as in the language file itself).

  *  soyMAIL messages support five languages at this initial release.

  *  In folder listings MAIL and NEWMAIL no longer are shown unless they
contain messages.  Note that 'newmail', 'newMAIL', 'NeWmAiL' and 'NEWMAIL' are
all separate folders (i.e. folder names are case-sensitive).

  *  bugfix; OptionsSoyMail() propagation of personal you-got-mail audio when
when changing language option.
 
  *  bugfix; CerealDataOut() allow ambit 3x intermediate buffer space for data
that actually increases in size during cerealising (serialising).  For example;
a succession of short, null-terminated strings (detected due to the mail file
name structure).

                                ************

  *  User option [wrap-text-at] has been superceded by [massage-read].

  *  User option [massage-read] is a more comprehensive plain-text message
'massager' providing 1) long line wrapping, 2) removal of extra line
breaks, and 3) removes any PGP/GnuPG clear-text signature armor headers
(RFC2440) leading and trailing a message.

  *  Messages [message_wrap_on] and [message_wrap_off] changed to
[message_massage_on] and [message_massage_off] respectively.  Message
[options_soy_wrap] changed to [options_soy_massage].

  *  Successfully tested against "Purveyor Encrypt Export/v1.2.2 OpenVMS". 
Only two minor code accomodations required.  Installation of soyMAIL for this
platform must be performed manually.  Server environment configuration requires
significant understanding of Purveyor.

                                ************

  *  Configuration directive [SMTP-default-host] allows a host/domain name to
be automatically appended to unqualified user parts of an address.  With this
set entering an address of 'daniel' would result in a send to
'daniel@the.host.name'.  This of course disables a default send via VMS Mail. 
With this directive set VMS Mail can still be used by prepending a node name to
the address (e.g. '0::DANIEL', 'DELTA::DANIEL', etc.)

  *  Logout revisited (and can't guarantee it won't be the last)!!
Configuration directive [logout-realm] enables the [logout] button and
functionality for the VMS Apache and OSU server environments.  This is combined
with logout funtionality that actually *works* :-) across the three platforms. 
By default the logout button is 'greyed-out' (italicised) on non-WASD platforms
and if pressed provides a status panel informational explaining it's not
supported for that site.  See the Install and Admin document for further
detail.

  *  Dutch language message file courtesy Willem Grooters (grootersnet.nl).

  *  Refine HTML and HTML->plain-text processing to better handle some HTML
character entities (HtmlNumericDeEntify() and HtmlCharacterDeEntify()).

  *  AttachFile() ensure any file system path is stripped from the attachment
name before saving (MSIE at least supplies the full path). 

  *  LangSame() modify comparison so that the message can contain HTML entities
useful in some buttons (e.g. &#10;).  This will allow some longish, non-English
language button labels to be folded with a newline (at least in Firefox,
Mozilla and MSIE, Opera 8.5 doesn't seem to support this).

  *  AddressListMassage() refine address reduction (yep - again!)

  *  bugfix; InetMailParseHeader() handling non-MIME MIME-like headers.

  *  bugfix; ContactsSave() to empty LDIF file.

  *  bugfix; MessageBodyIdentify() when generating plain from HTML-only content
first call MimeDecProcessPart() to potentially decode it.

  *  bugfix; MessageBodyIdentify() default a non-MIME message message to 8-bit,
plain-text.

  *  OOPS!  Show-stopping initialization bug described below requires a much
too hasty release with a quick bump in the version designation to differentiate
it for any who downloaded it yesterday.  My regrets to those did :-(

  *  HtmlSanitise() suppress "background-image" in <STYLE></STYLE>.

  *  bugfix; ComposeSelfAddress() 'len' initialization.  Rats!

                                ************

  *  A NOTE TO LANGUAGE FILE AUTHORS.  Messages can be used in all sorts of
contexts, particularly inside string literal quotes - both single and double. 
It is therefore necessary to substitute the HTML entities &quot;, &rsquo;,
etc., for anything that might be misinterpreted as JavaScript code quotes (i.e.
" (0x22) and ' (0x27)). 

  *  A NOTE TO VMS APACHE SITES.  There is currently an issue with SWS 2.0 and
2.1 when POSTing request bodies greater than 64kB.  This potentially affects
the uploading of attachment files, personal newmail audio files, and possibly
editing the text of extremely large messages.  This issue is currently under
investigation by the HP OpenVMS Secure Web Browser/Server Project Team.

  *  French language message file courtesy Jean-Pierre Petit (esme.fr).

  *  Ensure detected MIME parse problems are reported by MimeDecParseBody()
and all callers of the function act appropriately to suspend MIME processing on
that particular message.

  *  Remove the message count from [<<<][9_messages]{range}[>>>] dialog range
button.  It was observed to be a bit confusing and contributing little of
informational value.

  *  Move input focus to the field most appropriate to the stage of message
composition.  Default to the message body text.
                  
  *  The username is no longer included when generating the form action URI
unless the POSTMASTER facility is in use.  The URI path shown when using
soyMAIL now remains something like /cgi-bin/soymail/~ rather than
/cgi-bin/soymail/~DANIEL This reduces the leakage of potentially sensitive
information (often the VMS username) through the HTTP "Referer:.." header if
links  included in email messages are selected.  The user of soyMAIL is still
available in local access logs via the authenticated username field.

  *  bugfix; Old habits die slowly - do not upper-case the username component
when parsing it from the path in RequestPrivate() as this can interfere with
VMS external authentication.

  *  bugfix; The self address and the "From:" RFC822 header field should be
identical.  ComposeSelfAddress() is now used to generate this/these addresses.

  *  bugfix; allow MIME related headers (e.g. "Content-type:") to precede the
"MIME-version:" header.  Cancel the MIME interpretation if the version header
is not ultimately found in the message header.

  *  Corrected the Install and Admin document Apache authorization rule to be
<Location ~ "^/cgi-bin/soymail/\~"> (should check my setup rather than just
imagining what it might be!)

  *  The message display page now has an additional message disposition button
panel after longer messages (currently 32 lines).

  *  Messages [option_soy_apply] and [option_soy_restore] abbreviated.

  *  bugfix; CgiLibEnvironmentInit() for VMS Apache SWS V2.n and later (as with
Apache CSWS V1.n) freopen("mrs=16384").  This caused fwrites() (RMS, C-RTL
buffer?) larger than some magic number (65535, 32767?) to fail.

  *  Support the VMS Mail copy-send/forward/reply user options in the soyMAIL
compose page by appropriately adding the [SELF] address to the CC field when
[reply], [reply-all], [forward] or [compose] is used.  That address can be
cleared from the CC field (if no copy is required for this message) and is only
added the once.

  *  As 'convenience functionality' when the new mail message count gets out of
step with the actual contents of the NEWMAIL folder (as it sometime is wont to
do) then reset it.  Implemented by CallMailGoToNewMail().

  *  Refine [logout] mechanism to improve overall behaviour and avoid a hole if
MSIE [cancel]s.  Still no guarantees of course because this is basically a
kludge that tries to hoodwink the browser into thinking it's cached credentials
are no longer valid.  The main menu [logout] button now has associated
JavaScript confirm explaining the logout basics (see [logout_confirm] below)
and allowing an opportunity to cancel.

  *  Language file message [logout_done] removed, [logout_confirm],
[logout_not] and [message_html_to_plain] added. 

  *  Configuration directive [greeting] added to allow an initial site-specific
message shown in the status panel.  Overrides the language file [greeting]
message.

  *  Add rudimentary HTML to plain-text conversion.  This allows HTML-only
messages to be read and replied-to as plain text and for sites without an HTML
plug-in editor to respond to HTML messages.

  *  Make the message type default plain-text first, then HTML if available,
rather than HTML never.

  *  [close] button now has a JavaScript confirm for compose page.

  *  bugfix; MainMenuRequest() FOLDER_LIST_CHANGE detect 't' rather than '1'.

  *  bugfix; CallMailMessageDelete() close mail file to empty the WASTEBASKET
before continuing with request.  This prevents a 'phantom' WASTEBASKET folder
appearing in the folder list.

  *  bugfix; CallMailMessageCopyMove() adjust new message count when changing
contents of NEWMAIL folder regardless of whether it's a copy or a move.

  *  Wish-list; main menu [compose][^] (open in new window) button.

  *  The main menu [compose] button should provide a blank message regardless
of where it's used from (including the message read page which it didn't prior
to this change), with the exception of the message composition page itself when
it should propagate any in-composition message.

  *  For child windows (basically those opened with a [^] button) have the main
menu provide a [close] button.  This both indicates it is not the primary
soyMAIL window and provides an obvious mechanism to close it when finished.

  *  Provide a more informative message if CallMailGetUserProfile() reports
MAIL$_NOSUCHUSER because of no profile entry (e.g. new account before mail).

  *  bugfix; MimeDecProcessPart() sanity check on pointer not length (after all
you can have empty content!)

  *  bugfix; ContactsEdit() no sanity check on un-specified contact, just
memset() zero it and continue as a 'new' entry.

  *  Wish-list; optional folder buttons on left-side of message listing.  These
can be enabled from the options page using the "Folder buttons" selector.

  *  Support saving message as "message/rfc822" 'attachment'.  This will allow
entire messages to be attached and forwarded with other messages.

  *  Refine MimeDecParseBody() to accomodate "message/rfc822" attachments and
any such internal MIME parts.  This issue was reported by Frank Weichert.

  *  Modified [reply-to] option to [smtp-from] and in conjunction with
[personal-name] have ComposePageRequest() generate a "From:" header more in
line (though not identical) with TCPIP$SMTP_FROM behaviour.

  *  Add explicit [reply-to] button and field to the composition page so that
messages can individually have a reply-to set against them. 

  *  ComposeMime() add client traceability information to "Received:" header
and "Message-ID:" fields.  These now have the format 

  Received: from <client-host-name> (<client-IP-address>) for
          <username>@<HTTP-server-name> by <server-host-name>
          (SOYMAIL AXP-n.n.n) with HTTP; <date-and-time>

  Message-ID: <client-IP>.<client-port>.<timestamp>.soymail@<server-host-name>
 
  *  Change default (non-specified) MIME transfer encoding from 7bit to 8bit. 
This allows sloppy/non-compliant agents a bit more latitude with non-ASCII
characters (e.g. umlautes).

  *  Bring 'normal' edit window (and message transmission) line length back
from 78 characters to 72 characters (in line with netiquete 'recommendations').

  *  bugfix; ComposeMime() default charset should be ISO-8859-1 not IS0-8859-1

  *  bugfix; AttachComposeList() attachment size calculation

  *  bugfix; RequestParsePath() attachment names can contain '/'

  *  bugfix; SearchKeyword() lower-case the keyword!
