Becky! Ver.2

Becky! Ver.2 是 "Becky! Internet Mail" 的新版本。
在過去 3 年開發中，我們陸續經由 "Becky! Internet Mail" 修訂版而告完成。
這些修訂版的主要目標促使它更快更穩地及提供更健全的郵件程式功能，讓使用者
能更輕易地操作。

雖然它的名稱仍稱為 "Becky! Internet Mail"，但它是個完全的新程式。
如果您曾用過 Becky! Ver.1，您就會發現許多與 Ver.1 不同的地方，像是某些從
 Becky! Ver.1 一路發展上來的功能。 若您對 Ver.1 仍感到滿意，那麼我們並不堅
持推薦您非得昇級，但是我們肯定若您使用 Ver.2 之後，您會發現更多比 Ver.1
還要好用的功能。

Becky! Ver.1 與 Ver.2 可以共存於同一部電腦，但這也表示兩個程式將會擁有各自
存放郵件的目錄以資區別。因此，若您已有一堆郵件並想要從 Ver.1 轉移到 Ver.2，
請千萬要注意您是否具有可供運作的足夠磁碟空間。

對了，我有提到關於從 Ver.1 昇級到 Ver.2 的費用嗎？
所有這些都是免費的 :-)

  when the "Deselect" button is clicked.

  folder indicates non-zero while there are actually no unread messages.
  (It may happen with IMAP server.)

  "Date" and "Message-Id" fields as the duplicate messages.
- Fixed the bug that m/rfc822 tab in the message sometimes showed "X-Becky-Include:

Ver2.05.03 -> Ver2.05.04

- Fixed the bug that Reminder caused GPF on IMAP account.
- etc.

Ver2.05.02 -> Ver2.05.03

- Fixed the bug that some attachment icons are not displayed correctly.
- Made it not to check the error for EXPUNGE command in IMAP4 protocol.
  (To deal with read only folders)

Ver2.05.01 -> Ver2.05.02

- Fixed the bug that the second stroke of the two stroke key was not
  recognized and input as a character.
- Fixed the bug that some messages with irregular Message-ID caused
  Becky! to be abnormally terminated.
- Fixed the bug that if the signature contains a line that begins with
  "." (dot), another dot is added when a templates is applied.

- Fixed the bug that some items in Quick Access List had duplicate ID.
- Fixed the bug drag and drop of attachments did not work when it went over
  the list view if it is in Thread mode.
- When the name part of the e-mail address is already quoted with "",
  it will not be escaped with \. (Mailbox Setup)
- etc.

Ver2.00.11 -> Ver2.05.00

- Added "Save Attachments to Separate Data Files" ("General Setup" > "Advanced")
  option. (Default)
  If this option is on, attachment parts in e-mail messages will be
  saved as separate data files, which increases overall performance and
  decreases the risk of virus-scanning software deleting e-mail messages
  that contains viruses along with other innocent e-mail messages.
  Those separated attachment files are saved "as is" (not decoded) and
  this process is totally transparent from the user.

- There are two commands added in "File" > "Folder" menu. "Separate
  Attachments" and "Combine Attachments". Older version of Becky! doesn't
  support data files that has separate attachment. So, if you need to go
  back to the old version for some reasons, you will need to process
  "Combine Attachments" on each folder.

- "Over ? KB message is saved as single file" option is discontinued
  because "Save Attachment to Separate Data Files" option does a better
  job.

- Auto complete for To, Cc, and Bcc fields is supported. You can turn it
  off by unchecking "General Setup" > "Editor" > "Use auto complete for
  To, Cc, and Bcc fields." option.

- The result of "Query" is shown as a folder in the tree view. This
  temporary folder exists while "Query" dialog is visible.

- Added "Flag" for messages.
  You can double click the left side of the e-mail item in the list view
  to add "Flag" to the messages. There are some functionalities are
  added for flags, like "Prohibit deleting flagged items." in "General
  Setup">"Tree/List", and "Select Flagged Messages" in "Edit" menu.
  Unlike the priorities or the color labels, flag works on IMAP server.

- "Do not save" option is added to "Delete from Server" action in the
  filtering manager. This allows you to set up "Kill" filter for
  particular kind of messages you don't even want to see.
  If the message meets "Do not save" action, no other actions, except
  "Sound", will be processed even if the message matches other
  conditions.

- Improved thread capability.
  No more "Date" related thread cutting that occurred in the older
  versions.
  Nevertheless, the performance of thread generation is much more
  improved.
  Plus, you can connect threads by drag and drop operation.

- "Switch Mailbox" command is added in Compose window.

- "Force to Reconnect" option in "Mailbox Setup" > "Connection", which
  enable you to switch dialup connections on "Collection and Delivery".

- There you see small "H" icon in the list view if the messages that received
  with Ver.2.05 contain HTML document.
  If you process "File" > "Folder" > "Reconstruct Index", you can also see
  those small "H"s on the messages that you have received with older
  versions.

- "Convert to Plain Text" option is added in "General Setup" > "Message
  View" > "HTML View". If you hate HTML messages but you want to read
  the content sometimes, this option is for you. (and it is default)

- "Invalidate Executable Tags" option is renamed as "Disallow Scripts".

- Added a resource-requesting callback function to the plug-in
  interface. That way you can create plug-ins that replaces icons and
  bitmaps in Becky!.
  For details, see "_b2icon_" sample in Plug-In SDK.

- Supported koi8-r character set.

- Made the filtering manager resizable. If you use Tietew's Powerful
  Customizer plug-in, you will see some flickers while resizing but it's
  not a bug. Both programs are just working on their way.

- You can use short cut keys on Compose window even if the caret is in
  "To", "Subject", etc. fields.

- Disabled "Delete" key when the message view has a focus. You can still
  delete messages with other key strokes. (like Ctrl+D)

- Made "Export" command exports hidden messages under the thread.

- Added a command line option "/B" that opens the address book
  immediately.

- "Compaction" will not delete "Bcc" fields anymore.

- "Delete" command is added alongside "Cut", "Copy", etc. commands in the
  right click menu of the editor.

- If you search addresses in the address book, it will show "Group"
  instead of "Comments" in the list.

- Made 4way button repeatable.

- You can customize columns of the list view. "View" > "Customize List
  Columns"

- When you are saving an attachment with "Save As" command with the file
  name that has no file extension, the appropriate file extension will
  be added automatically.


- BUGFIX: You could not add e-mail addresses in the message correctly when
  one line contains several e-mail addresses.

- BUGFIX: In the filtering manager, if you specify multiple headers like
  "To, Cc, Bcc" and choose "Not Present", the result was not as expected.

- BUGFIX: RFC2231 encoding was not correctly done for some file names
  that contain multibytes characters.

  prevent anti virus software to delete an entire file if virus is found
  in Becky!'s bmf file that usually contain multiple files.
- "General Setup" > "Message View" > "Use MSIE component" option is set
  off as default due to the recent hazardous virus spreading.
- Made "General Setup" > "Message View" > "Invalidate Executable tags"
  option also uses IE's security zone to prevent running scripts.
- Some bugfixes.


Ver2.00.06 -> Ver2.00.07

- BUGFIX: Abnormally terminated when the selected messages contain header
  fields that are over 64K bytes. (Since it overruns the buffer only 1
  byte, it is unlikely to be the target of Buffer Overflow Attack.)

- Slightly modified the logic for adding Quick Access List. If you
  double-click an unread item and do not do any subsequent "reading"
  action, such as clicking the view, the item is not added to the Quick
  Access List.
- In Quick Access List, items belong to the current mailbox are listed
  with a checkmark.

  cancel Search or Dialup.

  contains messages belongs to the mailbox you have just hidden.
- etc.

Ver2.00.03 -> Ver2.00.04

- Slightly better MAPI support.
  Barely good enough to synchronize with Palm. (Choose "Outlook Express"

- FIX: Made the "Plug-Ins Setup" menu multiple column if items are
  too many.
- FIX: Made it to prevent <IMG SRC="mailto:"> tags in HTML messages

  execute tags" to deactivate this IE's "feature".)

  indicate a same e-mail address, "Replying to forwarded message" dialog
  is suppressed.

  when some of those are in Query Result window.
- BUGFIX:  "]" character right after an e-mail address was treated as
  the part of e-mail address. (However, in the form like
  "mail@[123.123.123.123]", it is still treated as an e-mail address.)
- BUGFIX: Abnormally terminated when you exit Becky! from the task tray
  when some modal dialog box is active.
- BUGFIX: Abnormally terminated when you use global profiles on the
  mailboxes that contains both POP3 and IMAP4 profiles.
