What's Becky! Ver.2

Becky! Ver.2 is the newest version of Becky! Internet Mail.
After three years of the development, we finally accomplished a total
revision of "Becky! Internet Mail". 
The main aim of this revision is providing more fast, stable and feature
rich mail program with ease of use.

Although it is still called "Becky! Internet Mail", it is completely a
new program. If you are an user of Becky! Ver.1, you may find many
things are different from Ver.1. Some might prefer the way Becky! Ver.1
does. So, we would not strongly recommend to upgrade if you are
satisfied with Ver.1. But, we are sure you will be happy if you use
Ver.2 and find a lot more useful features than in Ver.1.

Becky! Ver.1 and Ver.2 can coexist on the same computer, which means
each program has separate data directory. So, if you already have a lot
of e-mail data and want to migrate those data from Ver.1 to Ver.2, be
careful that you are not running out of disk space.

Oh, did I mention that upgrading from Ver.1 to Ver.2 is *totally free of
charge*? :-)

Update History

Ver2.00.08 -> Ver2.00.09

- Fixed the bug that the menu did not show up correctly in NT4.0
- Fixed the bug that dial up entry is not correctly retrieved.

Ver2.00.08 -> Ver2.00.09

- Rewrited internal coding for displaying HTML messages with IE
  component for better security.
- Fixed the duplication of X- headers in templates.
- Fixed the Undo problem with tabbed text in overwrite mode.
- Some bugfixes.

Ver2.00.07 -> Ver2.00.08

- Added "Over ? KB message is saved as single file" option. It is to
  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.
- Made "nntp://"URI  clickable

- BUGFIX: Quick Access List was brought up when you hit ESC key to
  cancel Search or Dialup.

- BUGFIX: BKA_SetStatus API did not change the unread count of the
  folder.
- etc.

Ver2.00.05 -> Ver2.00.06

- BUGFIX: Abnormally terminated when replying or forwarding to a message
  that contains extraordinarily long line. (Buffer Overflow security
  hole)

- "Quick Access" command, with which you can access recently
  double-clicked incoming messages or saved outgoing messages, is added.
- Added "BKA_SetStatus" API. (See Plug-in SDK for details.)
- Added another window layout to "Change Layout" command.
- Made it to ask if it is OK to quit when one or more outgoing messages
  are edited by external editor.

- BUGFIX: Cited ISO-8859-2 message was incorrectly converted.

Ver2.00.04 -> Ver2.00.05

- A bit more improved MAPI -- MAPISendDocument, which NetCaptor uses, is
  supported.

- BUGFIX: Some word wrapping area was printed twice in "Print" and
  "Print Preview" command.
- BUGFIX: In Query dialog, "Before" and "After" (date) meant opposite
  when you search in IMAP folder.

  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"
  as a mail client for HotSync).
- Added option to print attachments' file names. "File"-> "Print Setup".

- 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
  to automatically open the compose windows. (You have to check "Invalidate
  execute tags" to deactivate this IE's "feature".)
- FIX: If "From"(or "Reply-To") and "Resent-From"(or "Resent-Reply-To")
  indicate a same e-mail address, "Replying to forwarded message" dialog
  is suppressed.

- BUGFIX: If you chose to use an original template for forwarding
  messages, cited To and Cc fields are truncated at 256 bytes position.
- BUGFIX: Separated messages that don't end with CRLF, could not
  reassembled correctly.
- BUGFIX: Could not print UTF-8 messages correctly.
- BUGFIX: Alt+Up,Down key stroke makes messages view window look gray
  momentarily.
- BUGFIX: Some rfc822 packed attachment files was not extracted
  correctly.
- BUGFIX: Abnormally terminated if you delete messages in the list view
  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.
- BUGFIX: Abnormally terminated when you hide or delete a mailbox that
