MailSaver version 1.4.1



Copyright 1993-94 by Simeon Leifer



--- About MailSaver ---



MailSaver is a one-stop NewtonMail assistant. It gives you access to your inbox, outbox,

sprintnet access number (including keeping a list of your frequently used access numbers). It can

put away mail enclosures, save the text of a message to a new notepad entry, and strip internet

routing headers from messages before saving them.



MailSaver is shareware. Please give it a try, tell me what you think,

pass it on, and register your copy (if you use it, which i'm sure you will).



--- New in version 1.4.1 ---



changed my address, added some code to be a little more friendly to system



--- New in version 1.3 ---



minor(?) bug fix (see change history below)



--- New in version 1.2 ---



MailSaver will break messages into multiple notepad entries if it otherwise would not fit.



You can now set the font, size, and style in which messages are saved.



You can now set the folder where MailSaver will save your messages.



Stored access numbers are now sorted alphabetically.



The strip headers option is now more robust



You can now save the items in the out box; allowing you to edit, re-address, or otherwise

recover items from your out box.



A deinstall button was added to the about box, allowing you to remove MailSaver's preference

storage from your Newton in preparation for deleting the MailSaver application. (Why would

anybody do that?)

		

--- Program Elements ---



Access Set - the access set popup lets you set your NewtonMail access number to a number you have

your list of stored access numbers, select "edit list" from the access set menu. the setting of

this popup will  reflect the phone number stored in your mail preferences.

Send/Receive Mail - this button will do one of two things. if you have mail in your out box, it

mail in your in box. if there is no mail in your in box, it will open your out box and start a

receive of any new mail.

Save In Box Mail - this button saves all the mail in your in box according the the options you

set up in the Setup screen. a progress dialog will be displayed showing MailSaver's state

as it goes through your in box. a saved message includes subject, date, sender name (not always

known for messages from the internet), sender address, receiver name, receiver address, and

message text.

There is a set of six check boxes for each of the In Box and the Out Box that allow you to

that is text only (no Newton enclosures) to the unfiled area of your note pad.

is text only (no Newton enclosures) will be removed from your in box after being saved to the

save the enclosure from a message to its correct location.

the name or address  of the message sender.

New - this button will save the currently displayed access set (assuming that both Name and Phone

are not blank) and clear name and phone so you may enter a new set. 

Delete - this button will remove the currently displayed access set from your database.



--- Warnings ---



I suggest that you do not use the "remove from inbox" options until you have tested MailSaver

once. this is not to say that  it is not stable or safe. I have had no problems. the author,

Simeon Leifer, nor anyone connected to him will be  held responsible for lost mail. the user

assumes all risks.



ok, enough legal! this is a good program and i have tested it extensively on my own mail and feel

completely comfortable  using it.
