and drop of the XML registration file worked correctly, but not
manual entry of the details).
Version 3.6.1 Beta (30 September 2009)
- Fixed
- Mail Default. The From Name field was still disabled by default,
and hence skipped when tabbing.
- The CHM documentation (Help) file was not correctly updated for

not the CHM Help file.

Version 3.5.4 (7 September 2009)

listbox.

without having to edit the record.
- Improved compatibility with Outlook for embedded images.
Version 3.5.2 (14 July 2009)
- New/Added
- Text Only option to the editor, which allows messages to be
switched between Text Only and Text/HTML mode. Switching to Text
Only will ignore the HTML part of the email, but no delete it (if it
has already been created).
- If a mail is set to Text Only in the editor it will display as
text in the preview and will be sent as Text Only, with no HTML part
(even if an HTML part has previously been created).
- If the HTML editor is left empty and the option to
automatically update the text part of the email from the HTML is
enabled, the application now does not overwrite the text (the HTML
is only auto converted to update the text part if it is not blank).
- If the HTML editor is left empty then the standard empty HTML
file code generated is treated the same as an empty HTML part,
rather than be treated as an HTML message.
- If no HTML is added or the message is set to Text Only, then
the message is displayed as Text in the previewer.
- Auto formating for Text previews using the specified maximim
line width for text message sending.
- A new "Information Bar" is displayed above the previewer on the
main window and displays information related to the current message.
For example if the message is Text Only mode this is displayed, if
the message cannot be displayed a warning is displayed here etc.
This bar will be used for useful information messages and warnings.
- Improved resizing on the Main window.
- Added a new Footer Editor window to allow the HTML version of
the footer to be fully customised.
- Added a new "Update Text" option on the mail editing window.
This option allows the Text version of the mail message to be
updated from the HTML version. By default this is done
automatically, however the option to do so can be turned off. From
the Tools menu on the main window select Program Options->Send &
Receive. The untick the "Automatically update 'plain text' component
when updating HTML". The Text version can then be modified
independantly, and updated manually using the provided button.
- Double clicking on a Personalisation from the list now inserts
it into the message being edited. Use the buttons or right click
menu to add, edit or remove entries from the Personalisation list.
- Changed/Improved
- "Demo" mode, which was defaulting to limited functionality, to
be fully functional.
- New permanent Capesoft Software Ltd code signing certificate.
- Important: The automatic update
may report an error with the certificate because the details have
changed. This can safely be ignored.
- Fixed
- Fixed: Licensing to ensure that after the demo expires the
application remains fully accessible (only the send functionality is
disabled).
- Fixed: Installer not installing all the required editor files,
resulting in the HTML editor displaying a "page not found" error.
- Fixed: The Cancel button on the Mailer Editor window not
actually closing the window.
- Fixed: In Windows 7, with UAC enabled an
"unable to open UPG file" error was displayed if the application was
not run as an Administrator. This has been resolved and Windows
Vista/Windows 7 will correctly virtualise the data for the
application. The next release (3.6.0) will add full native Vista and
Windows 7 compatibility.
- Fixed compatibility issue in OfficeInside (source code users
should ensure that they are using OfficeInside 2.75 or later,
especially if Mailer is being compiled with Clarion 7).
- HTML Footer is now correctly saved and loaded, and editable
using the new HTML editor (compatible with all versions of Windows
and without dependancies on additional components).
Version 3.5.0 (08 July 2009)
- Numerous Interface adjustments and improvements.
- Removed the "Test" button for sending test messages, as this
provided incompleted functionality. To send a test message add a Test
group with one or more test addresses and perform a standard Send to
that group. This allows the full functionality to be tested, including
