Latest WIL Postie Extender News
Version 10027
28 January 2003
Ported the October 2002 Postie source code from Infradig into the
WIL Postie code.
Added ESMTP support to Postie. Use the "e" flag with kSendText
and kSendFile. Note that userid and password are required for ESMTP
posting to authenticate. Do not specify userid and password for
plain SMTP posting.
Added CRAM-MD5 authentication for ESTMP and IMAP4.
Changed allocation of memory in kGetMail so now memory is allocated
dynamically, and download sizes are no longer limited. Now the
"Holding buffer size exceeded" message should no longer appear.
Added "f" (full headers) flag to the kGetMail function.
Version 10026
2 January 2002
Fixed kGetMail so that port number can be reset to the port
thru which the user wants to receive the downloaded email messages.
Fixed priority settings in kSendText and kSendFile. In v10026,
when neither the "1" (high priority) or "2" ("low priority")
flags are set, the default "normal" flag gets set, and, in so doing,
the "X-Priority" and "Importance" headers now are correctly set to
"normal" (these headers weren't showing up for the case when neither
the 1 or 2 flags were set in prior versions of the extender.)
Version 10025
18 December 2001
Added 'q' option to automatically decode headers with
?charset?q?text?=content.
Version 10024
3 December 2001
Fixed kGetMail delete flag so that it is reset to 0 after each
kGetMail call, so that subsequent kGetMail calls do not continue
to delete POP3 email messages.
Version 10023
2 October 2001
Fixed kManageImap so that it did not purge all Inbox messages
when used in the same script as kGetMail with the delete flag set.
Version 10022
31 May 2001
Added more fixes to kManageImap4 for purge operation, which
was GPFing because sufficient memory had not been allocated
to return the message string.
Version 10021
24 May 2001
Fixed a bug introduced by the fix to kManageImap4. A little cut
and paste operation went awry, but now the mail messages are
again getting returned to the message buffer in kGetMail.
Version 10020
16 May 2001
Fixed the kManageImap4 function, which was GPFing when purging
large mailboxes. The memory allocation for this function
has been increased to 640K.
Version 10019
26 Apr 2001
Added "d" option for dsn (request delivery status notification)
& "m" option for mdn (request mail disposition notification)
features to kSendText and kSendFile functions.
Added "c" option to kGetMail to return a receipt when retrieving
mail from a server that has either a dsn or mdn request in it.
Version 10018
16 Apr 2001
Made another change to kGetMail to clear the delete flag.
Version 10017
13 Apr 2001
Fixed problem wherein if you set the delete flag in kGetMail
and then ran subsequent kGetMails in a loop NOT setting the
delete flag, the delete flag never actually got cleared.
Version 10016
16 March 2001
Added error checking for the following illegal specifications:
pat|nopat - Illegal to have both pat and no pat; they're
mutually exclusive.
pat| - Don't follow pat with a vertical bar.
|"" - Illegal to have null string for nopat.
Version 10015
20 Feb 01
Changed X-mailer text to:
"X-Mailer: WIL Postie Extender www-winbatch-com"
so that the header info doesn't act like a link.
Fixed Postie so that email addresses starting with
'!', e.g., !looloo@winbatch.com, will now be processed.
Version 10014
Fixed Postie so that tabs in messages, attachments, and headers
are not converted to spaces.
Version 10013
Dec 12, 2000
The POSTIE extender has been updated to a few format
to allow more descriptive function names and additional
parameters. This version of the extender requires
WinBatch 2001A or newer to run. This extender will
not work on WinBatch 2000C or older.
In addition, so as not to affect existing scripts using
a previous version of this extender, the extender DLL
has been renamed to include a 34I in the DLL name
instead of a 32I. Old and new versions of this
extender can *usually* co-exist side by side.
To use the new extender with old scripts and with
WinBatch 2001A or newer you will need to change the
AddExtender line in the script to reflect the new DLL
name. e.g.
AddExtender("WWPST32I.DLL")
should become
AddExtender("WWPST34I.DLL")
Version 10012
Nov 27, 2000
Fixed Postie so that the "\" backslash character is not
stripped off in text of To, From, Subject, Msgs, Files, etc.
Version 10011
Oct 10, 2000
Dispensed with the limitation on 255 length limitation in
parameters in kSendText, kSendFile and kDest.
Version 10010
Sept 12, 2000
Added "t" (-text) option to kGetMail to allow for text
attachments to be written in native mode (the default
setting is binary mode.)
Version 10009
May 24, 2000
kSendText/kSendFile now work during daylight savings time.
In previous versions, all messages sent via these functions
were showing up with a time stamp that is the sending
computer's time +1 hour.
Version 10008
Mar 7, 2000
Removed IMAP4 posting from source code and help files.
From RFC 2060: IMAP4rev1 does not specify a means of posting mail;
this functionality is handled by a mail transfer protocol such as [SMTP].
Version 10007
Mar 6, 2000
Attachments now get CRLFs added to end of lines.
Version 10006
Feb 23, 2000
kStatusInfo now returns the status of the previous statement executed
and any error information.
Version 10005
Feb 21, 2000
Added base64 encoding of Subject, To, and From headers along with the
message body.
Version 10004
Feb 14, 2000
Added kExtra function, to specify charset and base64 encoding.
Attachments now get written out to the current working directory
regardless of whether or not the second parameter, outputfile, is
specified.
See help file for details about how attachments are handled when using
the "raw" and "headers" options.
