RexxMail build 20010916.130334. (from Marcus de Geus)
Build 20010916.130334 of RexxMail is now available:
This edition of RexxMail introduces the SafeHTML option to filter HTML content, preventing automatic access to external resources. Users can now safely view HTML content without fear of initializing unwanted connections to outside servers. With SafeHTML, image tag tracers are removed, and legitimate text and image tags pointing to external resources are rewritten to appear as clickable links.
In addition, RexxMail now rewrites links to MIME image content to point to the relevant graphics files in the attachments folder so images appear in line.
And of course, Microsoft Smart Tags are always blocked.
From the RexxMail readme.txt file:
RexxMail provides an extremely flexible yet easy to use e-mail processing environment with a minimum of fuss. It operates through elements provided by the standard OS/2 Workplace Shell (which is still the best graphical user interface available on any platform). Since the RexxMail user interface consists of normal WPS folders and program and file objects, getting to know the program requires only a minimum of effort.
Although the standard way of working with RexxMail is through the WPS by manipulating WPS objects, RexxMail is a straightforward Classic REXX program that runs, like any REXX program, from a command line in a (hidden) windowed or full-screen OS/2 command processor session. Since all RexxMail operations are controlled by command-line switches, the full range of RexxMail functions and settings can also be accessed from a command line.
RexxMail is written in REXX, an interpreted language, so it is also its own source code, ready for you to edit to suit your preferences.
2001-09-16 = Update: build 20010916.130334.
  • HTML content of incoming attachment folders is filtered:
    • META NAME="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" CONTENT="TRUE" tag is added to header to block Microsoft smart tags.
    • ?XML:NAMESPACE ... tags are removed.
    • IMG ... tags pointing to embedded images are rewritten to point to extracted image files in attachments folder.
  • Added 'SafeHTML' option:
    • IMG ... tags that point to internal or external images less than 10 pixels wide or high are removed.
    • META ... and IMG ... tags pointing to external URLs are rewritten as clickable links.
    • META ... tags except ... CHARSET=... are removed from HTML header.
    • BODY ... tags with external background URLs are rewritten.
    • FRAMESET, NOFRAMES, and /IFRAME tags are removed, and FRAME ... and IFRAME ... tags are rewritten as clickable links.
  • Added PRM2RxMl.CMD filter to convert Post Road Mailer ASCII (TAB-delimited) address book files to RexxMail address text file format.
  • Added 'Converting to RexxMail from other mail clients' section to 'readme.txt' (this file).
  • Added explanatory 'contents.txt' file to RexxMail program directory.
  • Changed command-line help mechanism: RexxMail now uses a single help text resource file, 'showhelp.txt', and results are sent to standard output rather than piped to the 'more' command.
  • (Install.CMD): A few minor changes in connection with the new command-line help mechanism.
  • Added 'BeforeDispatch' option to specify a command to run before collecting and sending mail.
  • Added 'AfterDispatch' option to specify a command to run after collecting and sending mail.
RexxMail is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License.

phpMyAdmin 2.2.0 (from Timo Maier)
A set of PHP-scripts to administrate MySQL over the WWW. After 5 months, 5 beta releases and 4 release candidate versions, the phpMyAdmin developers are pleased to announce the availability of phpMyAdmin 2.2.0.
phpMyAdmin is intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the Web. The project was started by Tobias Ratschiller in 1998, and is now one of the most popular PHP script used worldwide. (Un)fortunately, Tobias then stopped to work on phpMyAdmin last year: the last version (2.1.0) was released on 6. August 2000. In the mean time, there were many suggestions and good ideas around, as well as a security
advisory. That is why on 31st March 2001, Olivier Müller (Switzerland), supported by
Marc Delisle (Qu bec), Lo c Chapeaux (France) and a team of 8 other developers re-started the phpmyadmin project on SourceForge.net, with the authorization of the original package maintainer. And now, after 5 months of patches, bugfixes, new features and testing, the version 2.2.0 is finally ready.

Image manipulation tools (ODIN) (from Mike)
There exist a growing number of image manipulation programs that run very well on ODIN. If you don't want to spend lots of money on this kind of software, this might be a useful alternative. For one times sake: Here's the original german announcement:
Fuer die Berabeitung von digital (und analog) aufgenommenen Fotos gibt es einige hilfreiche Tools die zudem kostenlos sind. Z.B ein Tool namens CleanSkinFX zur Verbesserung von Portraitaufnahmen. Ein weiteres Tools ist gerade fuer digital lowlight Aufnamen geeignet das stoerendes Rauschen wegretuschiert. Auch wenn es sich um native Windows-Programme handelt, laufen sie unter ODIN voellig problemlos. Fuer User die sich keine teure FotoSW leisten koennen oder zum testen sehr gut geignet.

Mozilla 0.9.2.1+ (from Barry Marshall)
There's a new version of the lizard for people to test out. To quote from a note from Mike Kaply on n.p.m.o:
A lot of work has been going into the 0.9.2 branch still to make the Netscape 6.1 base more stable, so I thought it would be useful to deliver something using that code on OS/2. There might be other reasons, but I am not at liberty to say :)
All the fixes that are in this version will be in the 0.9.4 which should be happening soon.

  • Bugfix: title error when extracting envelope sender ('From') from incoming messages lacking a valid 'From:' or 'Sender:' header line (i.e. mostly spam).
  • All settings file values can now be set from the command line using correspondingly named switches, overriding the settings in the settings file (or the program defaults).
  • Added '/SendBare' switch for sending (e.g. script-generated) messages from a command line or batch file without any WPS interaction.
  • Added 'AttachAll' and 'AttachAllHere' switches for creating a new outgoing message with multiple attachments from the command line.
  • Changed the '/Address' command switch to '/Addresses' to make room for the '/Address' setting switch.
  • Changed command line handling behaviour: any error, or the inclusion of the 'Help' switch (with or without a topic option), will abort all other command processing.
  • Any combination of whitespace and/or '=' can now be used as a separator between command-line switches and arguments.
  • Added many help topic files. Topics now cover all switches and settings.
  • (Install.CMD): A few minor cosmetic changes.
