Hello All!

What is new in FidoMail Mobile 0.1.9+90:

Windows:

- Upgrading from the very first Windows build (0.1.1, build 78) made
the program start with an empty database, showing the initial setup
screen. The good news: nothing was lost - that build kept its data
in the folder %APPDATA%\net.thodin\fidomail_mobile, and every later
build looked in %APPDATA%\net.thodin\FidoMail Mobile. This release
finds the old folder on the first start and moves its data to the
new location.
- How upgrading works on Windows and Linux now: unpack the new build
over the old program folder. Mail, settings and passwords are kept
in a separate database at a different path, so an upgrade puts none
of them at risk.
- About -> Check for updates now works on Windows and Linux: it tells
you when a newer build is out and opens the download page.

Forwarding messages:

- A forwarded message starts with a header block naming the original
author and address, the addressee, the date, the echo it came from,
the subject and the origin line.
- Forwards carry the FSC-0092 kludges (FWDFROM, FWDORIG, FWDTO,
FWDDEST, FWDSUBJ, FWDAREA, FWDMSGID), so readers that understand
them can see who wrote the original. When you receive such a
forward, the message menu offers "Reply to original sender": write
a netmail to the author of the original message.

Netmail:

- Every outgoing netmail and AreaFix request now carries a Via line
(FTS-4009) with your point address and a UTC timestamp.
- Addresses can be abbreviated the usual FidoNet way: if your address
is 2:5001/100.7, then ".6" means 2:5001/100.6, "56" means
2:5001/56 and "5020/56" means 2:5020/56. The composer shows the
full address it resolved to.

Groups and settings:

- "Unread groups only" and "Show invisible" are now separate for each
uplink, instead of one switch for all of them.
- Volume-key mappings have their own screen: Settings -> Reading ->
"Volume keys..." (Android and iOS).
- "Create score rule..." is hidden while scoring is switched off.

AreaFix:

- Support for BBBS uplinks (the BRoboCop robot). Its robot has no
RESCAN command, so "Rescan" is not executed for them: the robot
would take the request for an area name.

Abbreviated adressing works.

Via lines now have "FidoMailMobile" in the program name field.

Keep up the good work!

Thank you!

And Apple is really well handling its release process! While Google demanded 14 days of internal testing with 12 developers, and now is asking for 7 days for final approval.
After that 14-day testing period, I had to answer completely meaningless questions, like:

How did you decide that your app is ready for production?
Describe the engagement you received from testers during your closed test

and so on.

See you,
dp.

Just upgraded from 0.1.1+78 - everything worked as you described.

Looks ok to me. +1

But, why the Origin line? It's also at the end of the forwarded message.

- Forwards carry the FSC-0092 kludges (FWDFROM, FWDORIG, FWDTO,

Interesting feature... Is there any other software (besides FleetStreet) supporting this?

I love this!

Well, it's there if you don't want to scroll ;)

I find it redundant. Origin lines typically don't provide useful information, and the original author's FTN address is already in the From field.

Nevermind, I can just delete that line if I don't want it there. :-)

Thanks, didn't know. I just tested it. How to reply to the original author? (in GoldED)

I did some thinking and now I agree with you, will be fixed in next release!

Thanks, didn't know. I just tested it. How to reply to the original author? (in GoldED)

in golded.cfg:
USEFWD YES

Then:

G/Alt-G or B/Alt-B

I had done that and FWD* kludges were included in my forwards...

Then:

G/Alt-G or B/Alt-B

Thanks!

BTW I found some messages from another editor that seems to support this (at least partially): FrontDoor's FM.
