Table of Contents
Version 4.2.1
- Fixed a mail-back bug when SIMS is used and the mail-back
confirmation key is in the subject field
- When specifying Processing Cycle in Stat Options to be > 0,
the logged lines now list the amount of relinguished time
- A fewer secondary yields ratio (relinguished processing time
to other applications) may be specified, see the AppleScript
dictionary for the Ticks parameter in the Misc Options;
the primary yield on the other hand accepts high-level events
at the beginning of every main processing cycle
- When the processing of a message file starts, AutoShare
temporarily relinguishes less processing time to other
applications, a mechanism identical to when an AppleScript
command takes place; this priority for these two situations
can be disabled by adding the letter X to Misc Stuff
- The Busy State parameter in the Verify File AppleScript
command can be specified to see if the given file is "busy",
e.g. the data fork is open or the resource fork is open
- A bug has been fixed, which would prevent an Apple event from
being sent correctly when the process extender AppleScript
application needed to be launched at the same time
- Added ticks used to process extender logging after date/time
- Added HTMLizing for & to &
- Adding the letter Y to Misc Stuff lets subscriber web forms
use the email field for subscriber address if specified
- When a list-specific listmaster uses the remote analysis
command, the returned message now lists all lists whose
password matches the specified password (shows all settings
for each list) as well as all lists whose listmaster e-mail
address matches the e-mail of the specified list (shows
list name only to prevent password to be displayed)
- The letter Z in List Stuff suppresses the log body while
still listing the log totals
- When a subscriber is softly deleted, the mail to the
listmaster now includes the bounce triggering it
- AppleScript Log renamed to Events Received Log
- The letter C in Misc Stuff goes beyond high-level events
triggered by for instance AppleScripts and writes all
AutoShare events to the Events Received Log
- The letter E in Misc Stuff suppresses the log body of
the Events Received Log when inserted into the mailed
main log, so only totals are listed
- The letter G in Misc Stuff uses the "a b " convention
in RFC header fields instead of "a@b (a b)"
- List Server folder, not LS, in Quick Tutorial (two cases)
- Added optional Folder Path parameter to Send Mail command
- The letter A in List Stuff inserts list contribution at
the top of archives and digests
- The letter H in Misc Stuff inserts 'The confirmation code
is ' before the mail-back code in the body; when looking
for the code, it doesn't matter where it is in the body
as long as only spaces, if anything, follows it on the
line where it is
- Unknown document accepts /=subject and /=reply-to tokens
- Archives delete trailing MIME ='s in HTML lines

in the subject field and the body has no non-empty lines

Version 2.1
- With the Suppress commands to list option enabled, a first body line or a subject having a leading space or being blank would activate suppression, if an invisible file existed in the Documents:AutoShare folder. Fixed
- Invisible files could also create havoc when getting a fresh Analysis file, as a good deal of unneeded recursion with folders would take place, seemingly let the Admin to believe that the server application hangs, although it doesn't. Fixed
- Using a list name of 'all' for unsub and set commands has been implemented for remote administration by e-mail (the returned string figures as 'Request processed')
- If the envelope recipient of a list contribution or an auto-response has no domain, the default domain is appended
- The list name list parameter of an After Processing process extender now reflects the name of the list, if the message is a list contribution

- When a subscriber has been updated and the Admin Subscriber window is closed, the selection in the Lists window's subscriber listbox will jump back to the first address rather than staying at the current address. Fixed, also for when a subscriber is deleted
- In the Admin Lists window's subscriber listbox when no subscriber is selected, using the Double-click subscriber button returns a script error message, and when you proceed, the Subscriber window opened does not reflect the list properties to be used for the new subscriber. Fixed
- The Admin's Double-click list and Double-click subscriber buttons have been renamed to List and Subscriber buttons, as a single-click is adequate for these two buttons
- In the Admin, a Find button and corresponding key textbox has been added to above the subscriber listbox. When you click the Find button, the key is searched as a substring in the subscriber listbox's addresses, forward from the currently selected subscriber address, and the first match becomes the current selection. Clicking the Find button again repeats the process. If no subscriber is selected, the search starts from the beginning of the subscriber list
- When a list changes type to moderated or announcement from another type, the Reply-To and Post fields are set to Sender and Not Allowed To Post respectively

No document corresponding to your request is available" (when no specified or default file has been found in the Documents folder) or "Sorry. The domain of your recipient address is not valid" (when the domain is not the default domain or in the hosts file)
- When running multiple preference sets within a single domain, trailing labels added to the special accounts (autoshare@, poll@, protected@) are stored in STR# 201,32 (AppleScript Misc Options property is Listserver Label)
- Fixed MIME boundary lines in message body for enclosures when originated message is formatted by e-mail client software other than Eudora
- List server documents (autoshare:documents folder) may be made list-specific by replacing the document with a folder and including documents inside this folder with names of "Default" or the list

will now be bypassed, and an error will show up in the log file
