Becky is extremely stable, and the latest Beta that was released last
month now includes some nice features that fit my style of E-Mail reading:
Update History
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.

It actually is a show stopper for me Allie. With such a small screen on my
Laptop I find that I need to scroll the Preview Pane in almost every
message I receive. The multi-line scrolling in the Message List I can live
with... and even get to like... but the 8 line scrolling in the Preview
Pane I can't seem to live with... it is just too hard on these tired eyes
of mine.
As for the Mouse... I'm a die hard 'mouser' and always will be. My typing
speed is somewhere around 45 wpm but I have to really work at that, and
concentrate. I find it a relief when I can take my hands off the Keyboard
and just sit back and leisurely scroll may way into message oblivion. ;o)
