New in SoupGate v1.04/â-1999-06-28

NOTE: this gamma release is only an intermediate release.
Development continues, so there should soon be a new beta
release with extra features. So if you find that a feature
you requested is not available in this version, that does
not mean that I am not going to implement it. For updates
about new beta, gamma or release versions, send a message
with subject subscribe to the SoupGate mailing list (hosted
by SoupGate, of course) at soupgate{at}softhome.net.

* If a message contains a Fidonet address in the MSGID kludge,
  this will now be used as the From address (avoids problems
  with From zone and point addresses with mailers/tossers that
  don't insert correct INTL/FMPT/TOPT kludges); this should fix
  some of the earlier reported problems with AddrMap!

* Will now recognize the KFS (kill file/sent) and TFS (truncate
  file/sent) in the FLAGS kludge, causing ArcMail file attaches
  to be properly removed or truncated even if they are not preceded
  by ^ or #
  (requested by Jonathan Gijsen)

* Added definable Reply-To to AddrMap
  (requested by Richard Menedetter)

* Organization line no longer changed when echoing back mail messages
  for hosted mailing lists; instead added X-MailListOrg: header;
  of course this only applies if there was an organization present,
  e.g. to allow own organization detection by another SoupGate
  (requested by Richard Menedetter)

* Mailing lists (both MailList and ListConfig) will now
  use the QuoteTo feature as well as news

* E-mail addresses in To: field for mailing lists will no
  longer cause the mail to be sent out to both the mailing
  list address and this e-mail address

* MailList-configured mailing lists will now also include
  an X-Comment-To: header containing the recipient's name

* Added template name to "+ reply" entry in log file

* The QuoteChar keyword now allows for a specified number
  of initials to precede the quote character

* File attaches from junk mail no longer decoded

* MIME quoted-printable encoded 0 bytes (=00) will be replaced
  by spaces; they confuse tossers (and a double 0 aborts the
  packet)

* When splitting lines for exporting, whitespace will be
  preferred now; only if that's not available, other
  characters will be used to split on
  (requested by Per Riber)

* Added IMPORT/EXPORT option to CharSetMap to allow the
  conversion to happen only in a specified direction
  (requested by Peter Lucas)

* When decoding UU/MIME files, instead of overwriting existing
  files will now automatically rename the file (no human
  intervention required)
  (requested by Peter Lucas)

* UU/MIME filenames may now contain a *, in which case they will
  automatically be renamed to a unique filename (the extension will
  be kept if that is specified)
  (requested by Jonathan Gijsen)

* UU-decoding now supports long filenames containing spaces
  (requested by Catalin T. Bradu)

* Non-existing subdirectories in the configuration file
  will now cause a fatal error and abort
  (requested by Jan Hoolwerf)

* Fixed bug that could cause messages to be corrupted when
  a certain date format was used in a message

* Fixed bug in list packing code causing spurious errors
  and corrected line numbers in error messages

* Fixed bug with killing and truncating file attaches, which
  also could cause long junk filenames to be written into the
  current directory (so if you have these, you can stop worrying
  about what was causing them and simply delete them)

New in SoupGate v1.04/á-1999-04-27

* Added TransFidoOrg conversion on import for To: addresses
  (requested by Sean Rima)

* Added  brackets to BCC: addresses in mailing list,
  because apparently some SMTP servers otherwise have
  problems with multiple addresses
  (reported by Richard Menedetter)

* Fixed bug with EmailArea, OwnOrgArea and JunkArea causing
  the defaults to be used when recursive configuration files
  were used
  (reported by Richard Menedetter)

* Fixed bug introduced in previous beta causing file attach
  subjects to be messed up

* HeaderInfo's insert option no longer adds any From or To
  information if it already detects a From: or To: line
  present (possibly added by e.g. mailing list software)

* Extended StripKludges keyword so it's much more flexible

* Since newer versions of FMail also support uncompressed mail,
  modified the statement about FMail in the setup section
  (reported by Jan Hoolwerf)

* Added ;SUBJ: option to MailingList TRUNCATE= keyword, allowing
  to remove a substring from the subject

* Spaces at the end of a line in the configuration file are
  no longer stripped off, but are retained.

New in SoupGate v1.04/á-1999-03-20

* Now supports setting up your own mailing list!
  (See chapter "Mailing list configuration" in documentation)

* The SoupGate mailing list serves both as a test of this new
  feature of SoupGate and as a support forum. To subscribe to
  this mailing list, send an e-mail to soupgate{at}usa.net
  with subject "subscribe" (without the quotes).

* Now includes (still tiny) BOUNCE.CFG to intercept email
  bounces. This file should still grow.

* Added TRUNCATE= option to MailingList keyword, allowing to
  remove ads etc. from mailing lists

* Added SOUPGATE PACK (short: P) and SOUPGATE CHECK (short: C)
  to the command line options

* Added weekday into date field; although specified as optional
  in RFC822 some servers apparently require it; also changed
  from 2-digit to 4-digit year form
  (reported by Ales Filip & Peter Lucas)

* Fixed bug in UU-decoding routines when lines end in whitespace
  (reported by Catalin T. Bradu)

* Added /GLOBAL (or /G for short) command line option that
  allows statistics to be displayed only once at the end
  (requested by Richard Menedetter)

* Added KillOrigin keyword that allows to suppress tearline & origin
  (requested by Richard Menedetter)

* Added support for BCopy: for Bcc: (blind carbon copy)
  (requested by Richard Menedetter)

* Some Cc:'s were not translated to Copy: lines on importing
  (reported by Richard Menedetter)

* Fixed bug in Copy to Cc: translation on exporting
  (reported by Richard Menedetter)

* Only one blank line inserted at start of message after
  inserted information, not between every line of information

* Now always puts Xpost: before the other information (From, To, ...)

* Added LineWidth option to configure the line width for exported
  messages instead of always 72
  (requested by Tommi Koivula)

* Added SeparateMSG keyword allowing all exported messages to
  be in a single Soup MSG file (allows for better error recovery
  with programs like Souper etc.)

* Much better error recovery for corrupted Soup files; an error message
  will be printed (and logged) and the files will be renamed to *.BAD

* Fixed bug in JunkCategory causing junk mail detection on categories
  where it should not have been detecting

* Made explicit in doc that CharSetMap works in both directions
  (requested by Peter Lucas)

* Removed description of non-existing Decompress keyword from doc

* Uses newer version of PMODE/W (old version caused problems on at
  least one system)
  (reported by Patrick Elsaesser)
