  • CTRL-P opens your settings file in your editor from inside the program.
    Most settings you change there take effect when you leave the editor; the
    manual lists the few that wait for the next start. ncmail --version now
    shows where the file is.
  • QWK: a message that Synchronet marks as UTF-8 now displays correctly on a
    UTF-8 terminal, in the letter list and header as well as the body, block art
    and wide characters included. Anywhere else, and in quotes and replies, it
    becomes the nearest single-byte text instead of garbage. (#28)
  • QWK: an accented letter in the From, To or Subject of a UTF-8 message, or in
    a UTF-8 poll, showed as a different letter in areas that are not Latin-1,
    and replies sent it back that way.
  • Window shadows on a UTF-8 terminal showed rows of "h" and "q" in place of
    the background pattern and line drawing they fell across.
  • DOS: in a large Synchronet QWK packet, most messages lost their full-length
    From, To and Subject, their UTF-8 handling and their vote tallies. (#48)
  • DOS: running out of memory now ends the program with "Out of memory"
    instead of hanging the machine.
  • A new settings file starts by asking which editor to use, instead of
    leaving you in vi when EDITOR is not set.
  • F2 now says where the reply packet was saved and how many replies it holds,
    or that there were no replies to save. (#46)
  • A new letter opens the editor on an empty file instead of a missing one, so
    Notepad no longer asks whether to create it. (#47)
  • UseLynxNav, BeepOnPers and LetterSort in the settings file were ignored:
    the list and letter windows read them before the file was loaded, so they
    always got the defaults.
  • Windows: box drawing and accented letters came out as the wrong characters
    in a console set to code page 1252. The console is now set to match the
    Charset setting while NoCarrierMail runs (the CTRL-Z shell gets yours back),
    or left on UTF-8 and drawn in Unicode.
  • F1 or ? now lists every command on the current screen, in the packet list,
    area list, letter list, address book, tagline window and reply-area picker
    as well as the letter window and ANSI viewer. The summary along the bottom
    is a subset that has to fit; this is the whole list, and it works in
    ExpertMode too.
  • The help bar at the bottom drew the packet list's |, ^ key off the left
    edge, and could run a description into the next column's key.
  • QWK: netmail conferences are recognised. Replying to a netmail message now
    fills in the sender's address, and a reply you enter carries its destination,
    so the door can route it instead of rejecting it. (#44, #45)
  • Fix the Replies area going missing when you open the first packet of a
    session.
  • Mark an area as Latin-1 with 8 in the area list, for boards that export
    accented text in areas that say nothing about their character set -- a name
    spelled Björn was drawn as Bj÷rn. The setting is remembered per board. (#42)
  • Blue Wave: replies for a packet level 2 door are written as the *.UPI and
    *.NET files such a door expects.
  • Blue Wave: offline configuration names its first section the way the Blue
    Wave Developer's Kit specifies, so a door that checks the name applies your
    area changes.
  • While composing a reply header, the length of the field being edited is
    shown against its limit. (#18)
