• FidoMail Mobile 0.1.0+14 released - UUE file attachments

    From Dmitry Protasoff@2:5001/100 to All on Mon Aug 17 00:49:13 2026
    Hello All!

    FidoMail Mobile 0.1.0+14 is out. The headline feature: full support
    for UUE - the classic FTN way of passing binary files inside message
    text.

    Reading:

    * A uuencoded file in a message now shows as an attachment instead
    of pages of encoded text. Pictures (JPG, PNG, GIF...) display
    right in the message - tap to zoom, save or share. Other files
    get a card with a Save button. Nothing is written to disk unless
    you ask.

    * Multi-part postings ("section 2 of 5 of file ...") show which
    section you are looking at, and an Assemble button collects the
    other sections from the echo and puts the file back together.
    All the conventions in live use are understood: section markers,
    (N/M) subject counters, SPLIT kludges, files with no part info.

    * Replying to or forwarding a message with a UUE file quotes a
    one-line placeholder, not kilobytes of encoded text.

    * A toggle in Settings -> Reading turns UUE decoding off if you
    prefer the raw text.

    Posting:

    * Attach file (UUE) in the composer menu: pick a file while writing
    a message and it goes out below your text as a single message
    (up to 100 KB).

    * Post file (UUE) in the message-list menu: bigger files are split
    into the standard "section N of M" messages, each with a [N/M]
    subject counter, checksummed the way other FTN software expects.

    Also new: the About screen now names the support echoes - that is
    FIDOMAIL (English) and RU.FIDOMAIL (Russian). Questions and reports
    are welcome there.
