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.
