Office-Logic Groupware Client Server - Product Release Changes

* Specific change for Office-Logic Groupware Client Server Edition

Version 8.09:

E-mail search results was showing blank line for one of the results.
* ClientMode in OL.INI was not permanently setting client/server mode.
Before dialing with Tapi, fix-up phone number for dialing rules.
If "From:" header is blank, gets sender from "Received:" header.
Search/replace in userlist also does POP account.
Supports attachment name continuations as per RFC2231.
Does not skip HTML text before <BODY> or <HTML> tag.
Allows 10 characters to be typed into database date field.

Version 8.08:

To-do changed so that unchecking the "floating" check box will reset the due date according to the default settings.
To-do does not reset display date when floating checked/unchecked or when date "picker" was used.
Office-Logic Groupware Usernames not restricted to SMF naming convention i.e., names can contain up to 15 alpha/numeric/symbol characters except for "*" (asterisk), "?" (question mark), """ (double quote), "/" (forward slash), "\" (back slash), "|" (pipe character), "<" (less than), ">" (greater than), "," (comma), and : (colon). However, we still recommend discretion when creating usernames to avoid confusion. (This is a version 9 feature that is being included.)
Temporary extracted attachments marked read-only to prevent users from saving files over the temporary copy. (This is a version 9 feature that is being included.)
Removed "(all users)" item from user list so that selecting "All users" in the recipient dialog doesn't also select the (All) item and send the messages twice.
Does not SMTP authenticate if no Office-Logic password defined so that sending uses the POP password instead. Some servers don't let you try more than once to authenticate and the default is: Office-Logic password first, POP password second.
Reply text surrounded by DIV and FONT tags to correct "changing font" when doing a reply.
Can add menu item that allows user to be selected so that e.g., you can have a "Everyone's Scheduler" item that allows anyone to view any other user's schedule without knowing any passwords. This is helpful for some sites where it is impractical to add each user's schedule to the menu. (This is a version 9 feature that is being included.)
Selecting "Run Now" from rules gives warning before running that the selected rule will be run against ALL messages in the INBOX, regardless of whether the "Process" is set to "New messages" or "All messages daily at startup".
Added HTML print, page-setup, save-as to pull-down menu.
Temporary directory defaults to Windows temporary directory.
User mail sub-directory can be configured to something other than MHS. (This is a version 9 feature that is being included.)
Shared mailbox drawn in gray if not available. (This is a version 9 feature that is being included.)
Shared mailboxes can be disabled by adding an INI entry to OL.INI. [EMAIL] section: SHARED=0. (This is a version 9 feature that is being included.)
Removes all non-digits before dialing phone number with TAPI.
Attachments compressed with DZIP32 DLL instead of requiring an external "ZIP" program. (This is a version 9 feature that is being included.)
Toolbar drawn as gradient if better than 256 color. (This is a version 9 feature that is being included.)
* User maintenance search/replace record locking corrected for client/server.
Never adds item #0 to listbox because of Microsoft bug that would "hide" first item in some lists.
Option to not send mail to attendees saved with the appointment.
Overrides default when changing an existing appointment.
Opens schedule files in read-only mode if read-write fails. Allows network to set read-only so someone other than owner/allowed can't make changes.

Option in Contacts/Database to "Show deleted" shows ONLY deleted records. (This is a version 9 feature that is being included.)
