Features and bug Fixes in beta 22nd November 2011

1 - Printing HTML emails is again available. HTML emails should now always display the correct character set, except Chinese currently only works for UTF8 and not GB2312 (but is correct for Show Decoded view).

2 - Fixed a bug with the Character Set and Code Page shown in the Headers view sometimes being for the email headers rather than the email body. If the body character set is missing but encoding is 7 or 8-bit. US-ASCII is assumed.

Features and bug Fixes in beta 15th November 2011

1 - Significantly improved display of HTML emails by replacing the MS Internet Explorer window with internal display code. This avoids the start-up delay the first time an HTML email is opened, and also improves display performance. It is much safer, because HTML email will be unable to exploit any MSIE features such as scripting. If images are included with the email, these are immediately displayed (previously they were ignored for HTML display, unless viewed separately). If external images are specified for display, these are downloaded as needed, but not cached. Beware accessing external images is how spammers know you have opened their email, and are worth spamming again. Key behaviour is now the same as with the non-HTML displays, so double clicking closes the message (unless over a URL hotspot) and the right click menu is the same. Clicking a hotspot URL link (if enabled) now launches the link in the registered browser window, rather than the MailMaint window.

2 - Clicking View from the Attachments list for content types that MailMaint can not view now launches the associated application for that content, such as Acrobat for a PDF file. Previously they were passed to the MS Internet Explorer window for display.

3 - Fixed a possible issue with Windows 7 where dates may have been formatted in default USA format, when a different locale was specified during Windows installation.

If you notice any problems with this beta release, please email with details of the problem and the date of the beta version you are using.
