Changes to Lafite in the version of November, 1989.
|
||
|
||
New Looks Subcommands. On the Middle-button menu in a Lafite message display window, the Looks command has, in addition to Default and Fixed Width, three new subcommands:
|
||
Lowercase Converts message body to lowercase. This is useful for messages from those bozos who haven't discovered their Shift Lock yet, or are typing on Model 33 Teletypes.
|
||
Spread Paragraphs Inserts 10-point leading between paragraphs. This is useful for messages that come from Tioga, which doesn't put a blank line between paragraphs in the plain text body.
|
||
VP Line Breaks This turns the character #o35, which at least some mail senders in the XNS world seem to use as an end-of-line character, into carriage return. Maybe some Viewpoint expert could fill me in.
|
||
Saved Forms. The Save Form button on a message sending window is now sanctioned to save (checkpoint) messages in progress, as most of you seem to want to do much more than create private mail forms. In light of this policy shift, the button has been renamed simply Save, and the message window stays open afterwards (close it as you wish). When a previously saved message is ultimately delivered, you are asked whether you want to keep the saved form or delete it. There is also a menu item Delete Message Form underneath middle-button Browse for deleting a saved message explicitly. You can think of Save as a fancy version of TEdit's Put, which stores the message in your mail directory and remembers it (in the Saved Form menu) for a later Get.
|
||
Reply To. There is an additional button labeled Reply To on message sending windows. It inserts a "Reply-to: yourname" field in the message being composed. The name is selected for pending delete, so if you want replies to go to someone else, you can just start typing the new name.
|
||
Rename Folder now has a better prompt. It also takes no action if you just pressed carriage return, thus returning the old name.
|
||
Bad toc. Fixed error message when you read a malformed toc (previously it broke). Several people have run into this problem by copying toc files between Sun and NS file servers on Sun Medley, which erroneously called the toc files type TEXT.
|
||
Scavenger. The programmatic entry to the mail scavenger has been renamed LAFITE.SCAVENGE, to avoid confusing people who knew the old argument list. Ordinarily, you should never have to call the scavenger by hand, as the Browse command will invoke it for you when needed.
