New in Round-Robin Mailer 26.0 (Sep 17, 2021)

Service Monitor: added the ability to select a running service and either stop it or open its project.

Statistics Report: Automatic Delivery: the graph image is now an attached file rather than inline pixel data, which allows the user to save it to a file.

Compose: the tab key now inserts 4 spaces rather than moving focus to the next control.

OAuth authentication is now protected from CSRF attacks.
The active tab is now remembered between sessions.
The "Validate CSS" tool has been written from scratch and is now internal to Round-Robin Mailer. Previously, the CSS was sent to the W3C validation service website. The advantage is that you can jump directly to the location of a problem and quickly correct it. Also, it recognizes vendor extensions without flagging them.

Compose: Paste Image: the "Resize Image" dialog now shows a preview of the image.

Fixed: HTML Editor: Style Editor: the Font-Family field was not being applied correctly (since 22.0).
Fixed: the "Move To Folder" Rule was not working if the folder name contained a space.

New in Round-Robin Mailer 24.0 (Jan 18, 2021)

Added a Rule Action that moves the email out of the Inbox and to a different IMAP folder.

Added the "Header Missing" Rule Where.
Stats/Relationships: Create Table: added support for spaces in the names of the columns and table.
All of the table import tools now support a CSV file in the clipboard when choosing the "CSV data in clipboard" option. Previously, it only worked on raw CSV data in the clipboard.
Database Editor: it is now possible to "drag-select" a range of rows quickly. Move the mouse cursor to the "#" column of the first row. Press and hold the left mouse button. Move the mouse up or down. You will see rows being selected. If the mouse is at the top row, the table will automatically scroll up. Likewise, if the mouse is on the bottom row, the table will automatically scroll down. Release the left mouse button when you have reached the last row that you wish to select.
Database Editor: Filter: the "Conditional Expressions" mode now supports the ~ operator, which evaluates to true if the column contains a substring.
Database Editor: Filter: Conditional Expressions: multiple expressions can now be chained together with the & or | operators (and/or).
Updated the SSL module (bug fixes and security improvements).
Compose: Paste Image File: added the ability to resize the image.

Compose: Image Properties: added the ability to specify padding between the image and the border.
Compose: Text Format: the Font Face field now has a button for adding a font from the drop-down list, and a button for browsing.

Validate HTML: added detection of tags that contain duplicated attributes.
Validate HTML: this will no longer flag <img references to local files.
Added the "Seraph" skin.
Improved the mouse-over effect of transparent buttons that are inside an editbox's interior.
Compose: Paste Image: the image is now copied into a temporary file and the <img tag will refer to that, rather than embedding the pixel data directly into the <img tag. This does not affect the Compose Autoresponse tool because the temporary file would be gone in future sessions.
The service is now installed as "Delayed Start" since it is not a high priority.
Improved the layout of the Progress Window.
View Archive: Search: the search now continues from the currently selected email, not from the email that last contained an occurrence.
View Attachments: Hex Editor: the offset is now displayed on each line.
When the free trial expires, the user will be sent an email with purchasing instructions. This is especially important when the operation is running as a background service.
Fixed: memory leak in the Compose and Verify Links tools.
Fixed: HTML Viewer: the balloon popup was not always disappearing when scrolling.
Fixed: HTML Viewer: the horizontal line graphical glitch has been mitigated by redrawing the window shortly after scrolling.
Fixed: on Windows XP, the service was not switching from the "Starting" to "Started" state. This was causing an inability to uninstall RRM.
Fixed: if there is an error refreshing an OAuth access token for POP3 or IMAP4, the cached token is now discarded. Without this, the user is effectively locked out of the account and has no recourse but to find the OAuth cache file and manually delete it.
Fixed: when opening a project that is running as a service, RRM will now wait until the service is fully stopped first. Previously, the project could be opened before the service had a chance to save its copy. The opened project would therefore not contain the updated state. This had various negative consequences, such as the Statistics Report being re-sent.

New in Round-Robin Mailer 23.0 (Sep 15, 2020)

Added support for Microsoft OAuth authentication for POP3, IMAP4, and SMTP. This includes Exchange, Office 365, Outlook, Hotmail, MSN, live.com, etc.

Compose: Insert Button: the "Text" field now supports unicode.
Compose: Insert/Edit Hyperlink: this now encodes spaces in the filename so that they work correctly.
Compose: Image Properties: the width, height, and border width are now assigned to the style and not just the attributes. This is important because the style overrides the attributes. Previously, if the style was present, changes on the dialog would have no effect.
Compose: Paste Image File: if an image is selected for being pasted over, the new image's width will now match the old image.
Compose: Paste Image: added a "Match Width Of Selected Image" option to the Resize Image window. This will appear if an image is selected for being pasted over.

Validate HTML: added detection of when elements can only appear inside other elements.
Validate HTML: improved detection of bad URL's in hyperlinks and images.
Compose: the Attribute Editor now supports unicode in the attribute values.

Added help file guides on replies, and Gmail.
Compose: Verify Links: this will now test <link> elements.
The log now records what the connection to the incoming server was encrypted with.
View Attachments: if a text attachment has no hyperlinks, it will not be converted to HTML as there is no advantage to doing so.
Compose: if an image is selected, the context menu will now show the "Image Properties" tool when opening the context menu from the toolbar. Previously, this menu option was only visible if the image was right clicked on.
Compose: Insert Pie Chart: "width" and "height" attributes are now specified in the new <img> tag.
Compose: Neutralize Characters: the previous and new size of the HTML is now reported.
Spell Check: added a tool for looking up the word in a dictionary.

Fixed: if you try to open a project from the File History and the project doesn't exist, the "Project Locked..." message would appear inappropriately.
Fixed: Compose: Style Editor: the "Apply to each element" scope did not work correctly in some situations.
Fixed: Compose: Paste Image: if an image is selected, it would first appear to overwrite the pasted image. However, going to the Raw or Preview tab and then back to Edit, the old image would reappear below the pasted one.
Fixed: Compose: when pasting multiple paragraphs separated by blank lines, the blank lines would not appear.
Fixed: TLS can no longer hang its thread if the server doesn't send data when expected to. TLS will now obey the socket's timeout.
Fixed: Compose: Image Properties: for <img> tags with inline pixel data, there was a possible crash. Also, newlines in the 'src' and 'alt' attributes were not being handled properly.
Fixed: Database Table Editor: the Duplicate Row tool was causing all rows below it to be considered "changed". Although this was not causing data loss, it was unnecessarily saving all of those rows back to the database.
Fixed: HTML Editor: Insert Hyperlink: this was failing if an image was selected.

New in Round-Robin Mailer 22.0 (Apr 20, 2020)

Added the ability to run a project in a background service, which does not require a user to be logged in. The "Repeat Operation" box has been replaced by three radio buttons: "Once", "Continuously", and "Service".
Added support for GMail OAuth authentication for POP3 and IMAP4. The Incoming Servers table has a new column, "Authentication".
Added the "Autorespond Only" Rule Action. This forces an auto-response to be sent while preventing normal forwarding.
Added the "Always" Rule How. This is useful for creating a fallback rule that should be applied when no other Rule is triggered.
Added the "[Change Header]" Modification Where.
Redesigned the Statistics Document window. There is now a toolbar along the right side instead of buttons. The document can now be zoomed.
Added a tool to import the Rules table from another project or a CSV file.
If an incoming email cannot be deleted, an error notice is now sent to the administrator at the "Send Bounces To" address.
Behavior change: the "CC Header (obeyed)" and "CC Header (ignored)" now only apply to the individual addresses in the What column, not the entire final CC header. This allows you to obey some CC addresses while not CC'ing others.
Import Staff: added the ability to import from the clipboard.
View Attachments: for unknown data types, the user can now choose to display it as 8-bit characters, 16-bit characters, or in a hex editor. Previously it was always displayed as 8-bit characters.
Compose: Add Recipient: when you type into the Search field, it is no longer necessary to press Enter or click the icon. Instead, after a 1 second delay, the list of recipients will become filtered by the Search text.
Compose: Edit Style: redesigned the window so that scrolling is no longer necessary.
Compose: Insert Button: rounded corners is now optional.
Compose: Insert Pie Chart: added the ability to rearrange the rows.

Auto-Respond: when auto-detecting the HTML Body's character set, the new HTML 5 meta tag is now supported, e.g. <meta charset="UTF-8">
Customize Toolbar: it is now possible to force a row-break.
The toolbar will no longer lose the user's customization when a new version is installed and new icons have been introduced.
Added a help file guide on the "No Staff Qualify" error.
Old "Return-Path" headers are now removed before an email is forwarded.
Compose: Verify Links: if the tool is launched a second time, the window from the first time will now close automatically.
Log Filepath: the default folder for relative paths is no longer under My Documents, it's now the folder where RRM is installed. When an old project is opened, the Log Filepath will be changed if necessary to keep it in the same folder is was in before. This change is necessary because services have a different My Documents folder.
Fixed: the default values for the archive fields were incorrect if the Windows user name contains unicode.
Fixed: after adding a new row and specifying the Staff Member Name, the "Rename Staff" offer was appearing inappropriately.
Fixed: Compose: paste image was leaving a temporary file on the hard drive if the image was a JPG with an EXIF rotation.
Fixed: Edit Rotation: groups with spaces in the name were not showing up.

New in Round-Robin Mailer 21.1 (Nov 22, 2019)

New in Round-Robin Mailer 21.0 (Nov 19, 2019)

Added the ability to make Permanent Relationships expire after a specified time period.
Added the "[Add Header If None]" Modification Where. This is just like [Add Header] except that if the header already exists, no modification occurs.
Change To: Header: when there are additional email addresses in the To: header, they will be added to the CC: header since they are equivalent to CC's. Previously, these addresses were lost when the To: header was changed, preventing the Staff member from "Replying To All".
Test Outgoing Server Before Operation: if there is a problem, the test is automatically retried every 30 seconds. This prevents a transient Internet connection problem from blocking the operation indefinitely.
Compose: added a tool that reformats the HTML source code.
Statistics: Automatic Delivery: you are now allowed to enter multiple email addresses, separated by commas.
Database Table Editor: Filter: the Advanced mode now supports subexpressions enclosed in parenthesis.
Added support for SCRAM-SHA-1 authentication for SMTP.
Compose: Insert Hyperlink: unicode characters are now supported.
Compose: Validate HTML: this now detects if there is exactly 1 <html>, <head>, and <body> element. The total number of errors and warnings is displayed. Added detection of an illegal character after an attribute value. A slash can only terminate the tag if it is followed immediately by the >. Other minor improvements.
Compose: Test Links: redesigned the results window. It now uses a table instead of a listbox. The line number is now reported.
Compose: when pasting a JPG file that has an EXIF rotation, the image will be converted to an unrotated PNG to ensure that it appears right side up in all email clients.
Compose: Insert Button: added the "Small-Caps" option.
Compose: Insert Pie Chart: added the ability to set the width and height.
Statistics graph: added the "Diamonds" appearance option.
Compose: Paste Image: the new <img> tag will now have 'width' and 'height' attributes.
Compose: Image Properties: added the ability to round off the corners of the image.
Updated the SSL module (bug fixes and security improvements).
Compose: added support for <img> tags that specify a filename in UTF-8.

Auto-Start: added a Help button.
Added a help file chapter on running RRM on an unattended server.
Repeat Operations: the project is no longer saved between operations if no emails were received, as this is unnecessary.
Fixed: small memory leak in the SSL module.
Fixed: Test Incoming/Outgoing Server: if the window was too wide, the layout of the controls could be incorrect.
Fixed: Test Outgoing Server: the negotiated SSL cipher was not logged when using port 465 and an error occurs.
Fixed: HTML Editor: Insert Button: after inserting the button, it would not respond to clicking or selecting with the mouse. Only with the arrow keys could you get in to edit the text.
Fixed: if a user abort or error occurs at certain times, it was possible for previously processed emails to go undeleted, causing a duplicate forward.

New in Round-Robin Mailer 20.0 (Jul 4, 2019)

Added the "[Change/Add Header]" Modification Where. This is just like [Add Header] except that if the header already exists, it is overwritten.
Added support for TLS 1.3
Statistics Report: Graph: added the "Curves" appearance type, which is now the default.
Whenever a Statistics/Permanent Relationships database is opened, if the database does not respond, an abortable hourglass window will now appear. This is especially important for SQL Server, which never times out.
The summary now reports how many emails didn't receive an autoresponse because they had already been autoresponded to.
The log now lists the groups to which each Staff Member belongs.
A Round-Robin operation is no longer allowed to start if two staff members have the same name and the Statistics feature is enabled. This causes problems because the name is used as a database key and needs to be unique.
The "None of the staff have any quota credits remaining" error window now has an "Ignore" button.
Compose: added a "Font Size" drop-down selector.
Compose: on the Raw tab, there is now an option to hide the toolbar.
Added a guide on Office 365 to the Help file.
Database Table Editor: added a "Rename Column" tool, although some databases don't support it.

View Archive: added a tool that pastes emails into the archive.
Database Table Editor: Filter: Advanced mode: added support for the "|" operator.
There is now an animation effect when switching tabs.
The interface now supports mouse tilt wheel.
Compose: Insert Image: if the image file is a rotated JPG with an EXIF Orientation tag, the image will now be converted to an unrotated form. Because some email clients do not support EXIF tags, this ensures that the recipient will see the image right side up.
View Archive: added the ability to drag and drop attachments.
Auto-Start: the "User Name" field now has a drop-down list of all user account names on the system.
Compose: Verify Links: it is now possible to abort an individual thread. Improved performance.
Email Viewer: added support for attachment filenames that utilize the continuation and/or encoding features described in RFC 2184.
Compose: added the "Encoding" column to the Attachments tab.
Compose: Import From File: this will now preserve the character set of each attachment.
Compose: added a tool that compresses the HTML body without altering its appearance.
Compose: the Image Properties window will now remember past filepaths in a drop-down list, the last browse path, and its window position.

The "Delete Log" tool now asks for confirmation.
Database Table Editor: for a certain type of error, this now advises the user to use the MySQL Unicode ODBC driver instead of the ANSI driver.
Fixed: copy/paste could fail if another window has the clipboard open. Now it will retry many times over a brief period.
Fixed: unminimizing on a secondary monitor was moving the window to the primary monitor.
Fixed: Insert Variable: this was selecting the inserted variable when the global "Select After Paste" option is checked.
Fixed: View Archive: View Attachment: text attachments were not word wrapping.
Fixed: error when saving project to Google Drive.
Fixed: Email Viewer: the lock icon was not reporting the DKIM/DomainKeys status.
Fixed: Help: Print: some hyperlinks were not followed by the page number.
Fixed: View Archive: S/MIME verification was not verifying the entire certificate chain.

New in Round-Robin Mailer 19.0 (Mar 6, 2019)

The "Send Auto-Responses" checkbox is now a combobox with a new third option that only sends the auto-response if no staff members are qualified to receive an email due to the Schedule or Unavailable columns. This is useful when the auto-response is of the "We won't respond until business hours resume" variety.
Auto-Start: this now offers to configure the system to automatically login a Windows user when the computer boots up. Previously, it was necessary to manually edit the registry to accomplish this.
Modifications: added the ability to find and remove an email address from the incoming email's headers or body.
The auto-responder is now careful not to auto-respond to the same email more than once, if for some reason the email is not deleted.
When a staff member's email address is changed, and Permanent Relationships is enabled, RRM will now offer to sync the database automatically.
Validate HTML: this now uses an internal validator instead of the W3C online service. Our validator is more useful in the real world as it will not complain about features that the W3C considers deprecated but will still be supported for the foreseeable future. Also, it allows you to jump directly to where a warning or error occurred.
Modifications: the "What" column now supports unicode.
Modifications: the "Append" mode now offers a special feature for email address headers (To, From, Reply-To, CC). If the first character of the What column is a comma, then the comma is only appended if the header is not blank and does not already end in a comma or semi-colon. This is important for properly appending an email address to the existing address(es) in the header.
Added the {to_original} variable. This contains the incoming email's original To: header.
The Summary window now reports the total number of emails that were affected by at least one rule.
Incoming Mail Server Table: Import: this now has an option to import from a CSV file. Previously it could only import from a project.
Configure Statistics/Permanent Relationships: Test Database: the test can now be aborted. This is especially important for SQL Server, which never times out.
Import Staff: on the database column mapping window, the "Table Column" column now offers a button to clear the selection, which prevents the column from being imported.
View Archive: added an option to hide the headers.
After configuring the Statistics feature, the user is now warned if any two staff members have the same name. This causes problems because the name is used as a database key and needs to be unique.
The WYSIWYG HTML Editor's toolbar now has two rows, and many more icons. There is a "Reset toolbar: simplified" tool on the right click menu that will restore the toolbar to its old configuration.
Auto-Start: this will now relaunch itself with admin rights to ensure the installation will work.
Compose: View MIME: added "Copy", "Save", and "Exit" buttons to the bottom.
Automatic Daily Statistics: if the statistics go back less than 90 days, the Subject header now reports the date of the oldest statistic.

Auto-Start: the Project Filepath field now has a drop-down list of recently opened projects.
HTML Editor: Verify Links: added support for URL's that contain unicode.
Compose: Insert Button: there is now a field for setting the button's horizontal padding.
Compose: Insert Hyperlink: this now tolerates leading and trailing whitespace, which will be removed.
Compose: this now supports an image URL that is a local filepath with forward slashes.
Locate Mail Server: Copy Report: this now includes SPF and PTR records.
It is now possible to place the Import Staff, Edit Rotation, and Locate Mail Server tools on the toolbar, although they are hidden by default.
Connection String: Browse: added a "Help" button to the "Choose ODBC Driver" window.
Closing the Compose window will now automatically close the Verify Links window.
User interface animation effects are now disabled when using Remote Desktop.
Fixed: the final staff state was logging the percentage, not the accumulator.
Fixed: rare crash when right clicking on an editbox.
Fixed: HTML Editor: Undo was not working correctly for Delete Table Row and Insert Table Column.
Fixed: when only sending auto-responses by rule, the "Append Original Email" setting was being ignored.
Fixed: Compose: if the send fails, the next attempt to send would crash.
Fixed: DIGEST-MD5 authentication did not support multiple QOP's.
Fixed: when no staff are qualified to receive an email, the position in the rotation was not staying put. Although in the long run this would average out, it is not fair in the short term. Special thanks to Ganesh Naikare.

New in Round-Robin Mailer 18.0 (Nov 26, 2018)

Automatic Daily Statistics: added a table with yesterday's totals.
Auto-Responses now include the original email's HTML embedded images if "Append Original Email" is checked.
Added the "Mismatches Regular Expression" Rule How.
Added the "Lacks Any" Rule How.
View Archive: the Search tool now offers support for wildcards and regular expressions.
Report Statistics: added the ability to print the table report.
When a staff member is renamed, and Record Stats is enabled, RRM will now offer to sync the statistics database automatically. Also, you are no longer allowed to give two staff members the same name, as this causes problems with the statistics.
If an operation is launched from the command line, but the same operation is already running in another instance, no second operation will be started. This allows you to schedule the launch on a frequent interval to ensure that RRM resumes from an abnormal termination.
Compose: added a toolbar to the Raw HTML editor.
Compose: added a tool to insert a Pie Chart.
Direct Delivery Possible: this will now warn if the PTR record does not resolve back to the IP address. Also, a success/fail icon now appears next to each field.
Compose: Customize Toolbar: this now allows most tools to appear directly on the toolbar rather than only in a drop-down menu.
Most windows now calculate their width as a factor of the interface font size. Previously they were a factor of the screen size. This ensures that windows are the optimal size, even when the font is very small or very large relative to the screen.
Auto-Start: the project is now inspected, and the user is warned if Repeat Operation or Delete Messages is unchecked.
Statistics: Generate Document: Save As: this now displays a summary with the size of the exported file, and buttons to open the file or explore its folder. Also, this tool now remembers the chosen filepath.
When a "Matches Regular Expression" rule finds a match, the matching text is now logged.
View Archive: added support for drag and drop of emails onto the table.
Compose: Resize Image Attachment: for JPG's it is now possible to specify the quality.
View Archive: the Search tool now includes the "Forwarded To" column in the search.
Toolbars can now have more than one row of tools.
Compose: Insert Hyperlink: this now allows a bare email address. Previously the mailto: prefix was required, now it is inserted automatically.

Compose: the "HTML" menu will now display relevant options when on the "Preview" tab.
Compose: it is now possible to put a "Font Face" combobox on the toolbar, although it is hidden by default.
Compose: Insert Button: improved the appearance of the shadow. It is now thinner, more blurred, and slightly tinted.
View Attachments: JPG images that specify an EXIF Orientation tag will now obey it, and appear with the proper rotation.
Compose: Insert Hyperlink: a bare domain beginning with "www." is now allowed.
Database Table Editor: Filter: added an "Auto-Complete" option. This is unchecked by default to match the old behavior.
The Customize Toolbar window now remembers preferences such as its position and the table column widths.
The F6 hotkey to view the log will now work on the Progress Window as well.
The archive folders now support unicode characters in the path.
View Log: an error is now reported if "Generate Operation Log" is unchecked.
Validate HTML: the validator is now informed of the charset detected from the HTML meta tag, previously it always assumed UTF-8.
The /? command line switch will now display the help file chapter on the command line.
Fixed: when logging an enforced rule, it was possible for the wrong What to be logged.
Fixed: Database Table Editor: Filter Settings: the Help button was not working.
Fixed: Progress Window: View Log: this was causing the next cycle to start immediately.
Fixed: possible crash while auto-responding.

New in Round-Robin Mailer 17.0 (Jul 16, 2018)

Added the ability to include the original email in auto-responses.
Added the "Contains All" Rule How.
Added the "Content-Language: header" Rule Where.
Stats Table/Permanent Relationships Table: Filter: added support for conditional expressions, such as "amount < 50".
The system is now prevented from entering a power saving state while a round-robin operation is running.
If an incoming email contains an S/MIME signature, it will now be removed before forwarding. Better to have no signature at all than one that is invalid.
Added to the end of the log a list of the staff members and their final state (accumulator and quota).
View Archive: when an email passes S/MIME, DKIM, or DomainKeys verification, there is now a visible "Lock" icon. Hovering the mouse over the icon will display a summary of verification.
Added a "Speak" tool to the HTML editor and HTML viewer controls.
View Attachments: added the ability to display CSV files.
View Archive: the size of the email is now displayed to the right of the Subject.

Compose: the tools on the "Attachments" menu will now automatically switch to the Attachments tab first.
Incoming/Outgoing Encryption: these now default to "Optional" as most servers support SSL, and more often than not it is required.
Insert Variable: sidehelp will now automatically display the list of variables.
Compose: no longer using the operating system Image Properties dialog to avoid a bug with inline images.
Stats Table/Permanent Relationships Table: Create Column: added the ability to specify a default value for the new column.
Added an "Import" button to the bottom of the Incoming Server table.

Opening or saving the example project will now produce a popup that warns that the example project should not be used as a template.
Compose: Add Recipient: this is now careful not to add a duplicate address.
View Archive: Copy Attachment/Open Attachment With: if the attachment has no extension, its Content-Type header is now used to provide a default.
Raw HTML Editbox: added a hotkey for Paste Text (Ctrl+Alt+V) and Paste Unmodified (Ctrl+Shift+V).
Help: added the "Rectangle" Selection Mode, which is useful for copying columns of text.
The toolbar's size can now be adjusted by hovering the mouse over it, holding down the Ctrl key, and spinning the mouse wheel.

Spell Check Table: added a "Help" button.

Fixed: the BCC: is now deduplicated to avoid a foolish error produced by Yahoo's mail server.
Fixed: Edit Auto-Response: the "Reply-To" header was not populating.
Fixed: HTML Editor: the "Tools" button in the bottom right corner of the Raw HTML editbox was not working.

New in Round-Robin Mailer 16.0 (Jan 15, 2018)

Added the "Stop Processing Rules" Rule Action.
Added the "Lacks All" Rule How.

Added the {account} variable. This is taken from the "User Name" column of the Incoming Mail Server table.
Compose: Zip Attachments: added the ability to encrypt and password protect the Zip file.
Locate Mail Server: errors are now reported in a log at the end.
Added the "Import From Project" tool to the Incoming Server table's context menu.

Editbox: Search/Replace: added support for Regular Expressions.
Compose: the "Insert Hyperlink" tool will now revert to the "Hyperlink Properties" tool if a hyperlink is already present.
Compose: the Import/Export tools now support unicode in the filepath.
Compose: if no staff member has any remaining quota credits, the Compose window will no longer refuse to launch. Instead, the "The next staff member in the rotation" option will be disabled, but you can still compose an email to an arbitrary email address.
When sending an auto-response, the {subject} and {from} variables now reflect the content of the original email, not the auto-response.
When opening a database, the ODBC driver is no longer allowed to display any user interface. Instead, if the connection string is incomplete, an error message will appear. This forces you to provide a fully qualified connection string. This is important because RRM often runs unattended, and the ODBC dialog will prevent RRM from doing its job.

Now supports installation to a path that contains unicode.
Compose: there is now a "Tools" button in the bottom right corner of the Raw HTML editbox.
Compose: Verify Links: added the ability to pause the operation.

Fixed: possible hang in uninstaller.
Fixed: when an operation is running, RRM is now careful to not interfere with a system shutdown/reboot.

New in Round-Robin Mailer 15.0 (Aug 21, 2017)

While sending a forward, once every 10 seconds, a "NOOP" command (no-operation) is sent to the incoming mail server. The command does nothing, except that this ensures that the mail server does not automatically close a connection that has been idle too long. This fixes a problem where a large email can never be deleted because the forwarding is taking too much time.
Round-Robin Mailer will now attempt to automatically discover the correct PTR record for your computer's network adapter, and use this when issuing the EHLO SMTP command. Some mail servers foolishly try to evaluate the EHLO command, so this will help eliminate a rare source of failure.
In the event of a DNS error, the DNS cache is now flushed. This should improve reliability in the event of a transient Internet connection problem.
Added support for database schemas.
Modifications: added the "CC: header (obeyed)" option to the Where column. This option allows you to change the CC: header, and have a copy of the forwarded email sent there. Previously, the CC header was always ignored.

Rules: the "BCC" Action now supports multiple email addresses.
View Archive: it is now possible to select multiple emails, and copy or delete them as a group.
Added the {subject} variable.

Rules: if the Action is "Set Group", upon clicking in the "Forward To" column there is now a drop-down list containing all of the groups specified in the project.
Generate Statistics Report: improved performance when not all staff members are included.
Edit Rotation: added the ability to delete a group's memory of the rotation.
Numerous interface improvements, especially regarding 4K monitors.
HTML Preview: the document now scales to the system's DPI setting, which is important on high resolution monitors.
HTML Editor: added the "Import CSV As Table" tool.
Database Table Editor: this window now has an Exit button on the caption, which will prompt you to save changes if necessary.
View Archive: embedded images will now appear when you click "Click To Trust".
Compose: Insert Hyperlink: added a button that opens the entered URL in your web browser, which is useful for testing its correctness.
View Archive: Save Attachment: this now displays a follow-up window that allows you to Open or Copy the saved attachment, or Explore the folder where it was saved.
View Archive: Open Attachment: if the attachment has no extension, its Content-Type header is now used to provide a default so that the attachment can be opened in the appropriate application.
Compose: all text attachments will now specify a character set in the MIME headers. This will obey a byte order mark if present, otherwise it uses the system default character set. This ensures that the recipient will see the proper characters even if their system uses a different system character set.
View Archive: View Attachments: for 8-bit text attachments, the character set specified in the MIME header is now honored.
View Archive: this now remembers all of the preferences for the email viewer.
Compose: Paste image file: added support for unicode characters in the image filepath.
Added a "Possible?" button next to the Direct Delivery option, which launches the "Direct Delivery Possible?" tool.
Database Table Editor: Filter Settings: added the "Don't Remember" option. If checked, a history of past inputs is not remembered in the drop-down list.
Compose: Edit/Resize Attachment: this now operates on the table row that has a cell with focus, rather than requiring that a row be selected.
Test Incoming Servers: a warning now appears if the port is POP3 but the protocol is IMAP4, or vice versa.
Edit Rotation: added a Help button.
Added a help file chapter on ODBC Drivers.
Added the "Clipboard Inspector" tool to the Interface menu.
The taskbar button no longer reflects the operation progress meter. When RRM is running continuously, this is more distracting than useful.
Fixed: when maximized, the window's border could possibly be visible on a secondary monitor.
Fixed: possible window flicker on 4K monitors, or when many System-G windows are open, or when kernel memory becomes scarce.
Fixed: Compose: Edit Attachment: clicking Cancel was corrupting attachments that contain a byte order mark.
Fixed: Database Table Editor: the mouse wheel was not working on the Filter's drop-down list.
Fixed: Compose: repeatedly rotating a JPG was degrading the quality due to the nature of lossy compression.
Fixed: Compose: when right clicking on a table, image, list, or hyperlink, the context menu was not always including the associated Properties option.
Fixed: View Archive: the table needed to be re-sorted after it was fully populated by its background worker thread.
Fixed a rare SSL connection error.
Fixed: the "Lock Project" option was preventing backups from being made.
Fixed: if the "Ignore Relationship" Rule Action is executed, the Count and Date columns are no longer updated.

New in Round-Robin Mailer 14.0 (Mar 20, 2017)

Added the "Edit Rotation" tool. This allows you to change which staff member will receive the next email.
Added the "No New Relationships" option to the configuration window for the Permanent Relationships feature. This is useful if you manage the contents of the relationships table manually.
The operation log now supports unicode characters.
BCC: this field now supports multiple email addresses, separated by commas.
Added the "Is Not Exactly" option to the Rules table, How column.
Behavior change: the "no staff qualify to receive an email" error will no longer interrupt the processing of emails. Since a staff member may later come on schedule, it is safe to simply ignore the email for the time being.
Database Table Editor: added the ability for the Filter to act more like a search engine, with multiple keywords, quoted phrases, and negative keywords. To the right of the Filter editbox is a button that opens the Filter settings. Choose the "Advanced" mode.
View Archive: Forward/Resend: added the ability to change the sender of the email. Previously, the project's "Send Bounces To" field was always used for this.
View Archive: Attachments: added an "Open With" tool, which allows you to select a different program to open the attachment in.
Database Table Editor: added the ability to specify a secondary sorting column.
Test Incoming: if the mail server doesn't support Secure Authentication, this option will now be automatically unchecked, and the test retried.
Locate Mail Server: the PTR record for each mail server is now reported.
POP/IMAP: if plain authentication fails, a secure method is now attempted. It doesn't hurt, and the server may actually require it.
Updated the SSL module (bug fixes and security improvements).
Rules now have an ID number, which the log will refer to when a rule is enforced.
Locate Mail Server: past inputs are now remembered in a drop-down list.
Statistics: Generate Document: Email To: the past inputs in the From and To fields are now remembered.
Statistics/Permanent Relationships: an error is now reported if any two columns have the same name.
Change To Header: every forwarded email will now include an "X-Original-To" header, which contains the To: header of the original email.
Import Staff: the project filepath field now supports unicode characters.
HTML Editor: Insert Button: added an option to use a solid background instead of a gradient.
Default Group: this field now has a drop-down list that contains all of the groups specified on the Staff table.
Rearranging the Staff Table (with Alt+Up/Dn) will no longer alter which staff member is next in the round-robin order.
Compose: Insert Hyperlink: past inputs are now remembered in a drop-down list.
The progress window now updates the meter as an email is downloaded and forwarded. Previously, it only updated once per email.
Project Properties: all fields now support unicode.
Moved the "Change To Header" checkbox to the Modifications tab.
Fixed: if multiple "Set Group" rules referred to the same groups but with a different order or case (such as "foo,BAR" and "bar,FOO"), these would each have a separate round-robin order when instead there should only be one.
Fixed: Restore Project Backup: an error would occur if you specified to copy the backup to a new, non-existing file.
Fixed: in the log, after "Relationship found" is reported, only the first letter of the sender's email address was appearing.
Fixed: some minor installation problems on Windows Vista/2008.
Fixed: the Rules table would fail validation if a Set Group rule referred to a group whose members are all Unavailable or off schedule.
Fixed: the "Group Set Rules:" section of the log was completely incorrect.
Fixed: now able to cope with a particular POP3 server that was not responding correctly to the QUIT command.
Fixed: a rare error downloading an email via IMAP4.
Fixed: IMAP4: large emails were taking too long to download.

New in Round-Robin Mailer 13.0 (Nov 1, 2016)

Report Statistics: Generate Document: a window now appears containing the document, and buttons for "Save As", "Email To", and "Print". Previously, Generate Document went straight to a "Save As" dialog.
Added the "Locate Mail Server" tool.
Added the ability to resend an email in the View Incoming Archive window. This is useful when you want an email to be re-processed and re-forwarded.
Added the ability to resend an email in the View Outgoing Archive window. This is useful when a forwarded email never arrived, and you want to try again.
Rules: added the "Mail Account" Where option. If RRM is receiving email from multiple accounts, this can be useful for making them behave differently.
The Staff Name column now supports unicode characters.
Rules: the "Forward" rule now supports multiple email addresses.
Updated the SSL module (bug fixes and security improvements).
The administrator is now notified by email if there is an error while sending an auto-response.
Compose: added the ability to rotate image attachments.
Compose: the "Ignore Schedule" and "Ignore Unavailable Status" options are now remembered.
Added the "One Instance Only" option to the Options menu. This prevents more than one instance from running at the same time.
Compose: Specific Person: this field now supports unicode characters.
Create Table: the user is now allowed to specify the table name. Furthermore, if any column names have been specified, they will override the default.
HTML Editor: added the "Insert Button" tool. Improved the Spell Checker tool.
When a global setting is changed, it will now be automatically applied to all other running instances. Previously, each instance held an independent copy of the global settings, and the global settings file was completely overwritten when an instance closed. If a global setting was changed while multiple instances were opened, the change would not affect the other instances, and might not be permanent depending on the order that the instances were closed.
The "Contains Any" Rule now allows a comma to be represented as two commas. Previously, it was not possible to represent a comma since it is used as a separator.
IMAP receiving is now faster and less likely to run out of memory for large messages.
An SMTP delivery is now considered failed if there is no response from the server after the email content is transmitted.
Added support for email addresses that contain an Internationalized Domain Name with an encoded top-level domain.
Database Table Editor: added the ability to hide all rows that do not contain some specified text. There is a new "Filter:" field on the toolbar.
HTML Editor: Insert Groupbox: if there is no prior selection, it was previously impossible to edit the contents.
Compose: a proper error is now reported if the "Group" field is not specified correctly.
Create Table: when using SQL Server, the staff name/email columns are now of type NVARCHAR so that unicode is supported.
HTML Editor: added the "View In Browser" tool.
Customize Toolbar: added a new column that contains an overview of the tool.
The uninstaller now removes the project backups.
Added 32 tools to the System Tools tool.
Fixed: possible timeout if an IMAP server mis-reports an email's size.
Fixed: an Overwrite Header Modification could corrupt the email if the What column ends with a newline. Special thanks to Chrisy Wallace.
Fixed: Compose: in the To: header, email addresses inside quotes are now ignored.
Fixed: HTML Editor: the Insert Quotation tool was deleting any selected text.
Fixed: Compose To Staff Member: if the clipboard contains an email address, this was overriding the staff member's email address.
Fixed: IMAP messages are now processed in reverse order to avoid a problem with the foolish IMAP Auto-Expunge feature that some servers employ. Previously, an error could occur when downloading an email after the previous email had been deleted. Special thanks to John Castleberry.

New in Round-Robin Mailer 12.0 (Aug 5, 2016)

Added the ability to have the Statistics Report be automatically delivered every day by email.
Added the "Auto-Generate" option to the Report Statistics window.

Compose: unicode surrogate pairs are now supported.
When a new Permanent Relationship is formed, the Count column is now set to 1 and the Date column is set to the current date/time.
When adding a new staff member, the Groups column is now set to the Default Group. Previously, it was hard-coded to "all".
Rules: added the "Lacks Suffix" option to the "How" column.
Test Outgoing Server: the server's supported authentication methods are now listed in the log.
Compose: Verify Links: now 10 links are verified simultaneously instead of one at a time.
Compose: when applying a stock format, if the caret is already inside a stock format, the old format will be changed in-place. This is important because an should never go inside an for example.
Added the "Delivery Status Notification" option to the Compose and Edit Autoresponse tools. When enabled, the relaying mail server will send an email that reports whether the message's delivery was a success or failure.
There is now a visual indication when side-help has focus.
The "Delete Header" modification now supports multiple headers, separated by commas.
Compose: added the "View In Browser" tool.
Generate Document: there is no longer a "Color" column when "Datasets" is set to "Total Only", since the individuals do not appear on the graph.
HTML Editor: added the "View In Browser" tool.
HTML Editor: Raw tab: Open From File: if the opened file is .EML or .MSG, the HTML code is extracted from within it.
NTLM authentication is now preferred over CRAM-MD5 as it is more secure.
An error is now reported if the Rule How is "Contains Email Address" and the What column is not a legal email address.
Compose: Edit Attachment: the "Fixed Pitch" option is now remembered.
Connection String: Browse: the "readonly=1" attribute is now automatically removed.
Minor improvements to the default Compose and Autoresponse HTML templates.
"localhost" is now considered a valid mail server name.
Fixed: the progress window was reporting an empty "Not scheduled until:" under rare circumstances.
Fixed: DIGEST-MD5 authentication was mistakenly disabled for POP3.
Fixed: DIGEST-MD5 authentication for SMTP was always being tried first, even if the server did not advertise support for it.
Fixed: rarely, balloon help was not appearing promptly, or not at all.
Fixed: the View Outgoing Archive was not populating the "Forwarded To" column. Also, an "X-ForwardedTo:" header is now added to each email. This is necessary to correctly populate the "Forwarded To" column when "Change To: Header" is unchecked.
Fixed: the executable was not signed with a SHA256 certificate, which could cause it to not be recognized as signed.
Fixed: the help file was not remembering many of its global settings, including the Favorites and Search history (since 11.0).

New in Round-Robin Mailer 11.0 (Apr 26, 2016)

Added the ability to generate an HTML document containing the statistics report.
Added the "Side-Help" feature. This displays the help file in a narrow panel on the right side of the main window. It will display help for whatever control has input focus.
Added support for DIGEST-MD5 authentication for SMTP, POP3, and IMAP4. This improves security and compatibility with some mail servers.
Added the "Obey Schedule" option to the Permanent Relationships feature. If enabled, the permanent relationship will be ignored if the staff member is not on schedule or marked 'Unavailable'.
Added the "Lacks Email Address", "Lacks Domain", "Lacks Prefix", and "Lacks Text" Rule How's. This allows you to enforce a rule when something is missing.
Added the "Ignore" and "Ignore Relationship" Rule Actions.
Added the "[Delete Header]" option to the Modifications Where column. This allows you to remove a header from an incoming email before it is forwarded.
Added the "Delete Read Confirmation Headers" option to the Modifications tab.
Permanent Relationships now obey the BCC column of the Staff table.
Database Table Editor: added the "Direction" field to the Find And Replace window. This allows you to start a search from the beginning of the table, the current cell, or the end of the table, in either forward or reverse.
Database Table Editor: added the ability to save changes to the database data without closing the window. Previously there was only a "Save and Exit" command.
If the repeat interval is more than 1 minute, the connections to the Statistics database and Permanent Relationships database are now closed between cycles.
Any and all BCC's are now logged when an email is forwarded.
View Archive: the Forward tool will now remember past inputs in a drop-down list.
View Archive: the Refresh tool now has a hotkey: F5. The Filter tool's hotkey has changed from F5 to F4.
HTML Editor: Raw: added a "Paste Unmodified" tool.
Test Incoming: the server's supported authentication methods are now reported.
Import Staff: the CSV filepath now supports unicode characters.
There is now an error if you try to use Excel to store Statistics or Permanent Relationships, due to the fact that Excel has no auto-incrementing primary key.
The log's "Staff Totals" section will now include staff members who are marked as 'Unavailable' since they may have received some emails due to permanent relationships.
Compose: the drop down list of staff members now includes those who are marked as 'Unavailable'.
Compose: add/paste/drop attachments: the new attachments are now selected.
An error is now reported if the Rule How is "Contains Domain" and the What column is not a legal domain name.

New in Round-Robin Mailer 10.0 (Aug 11, 2015)

Added the "Quota System". When enabled, each staff member can be assigned a limited number of credits. They will only receive a forward if they still have credits remaining. This is useful when the staff members are actually clients who pay for leads.
Added support for NTLM authentication for SMTP, POP3, and IMAP4. This improves security and compatibility with Microsoft IIS, Exchange Server, and other mail servers.
Improved the appearance of icons. Changed from 8-bit GIF's to 32-bit PNG's. Many icons have been redesigned.
Added support for the APOP authentication method for POP3.
Numerous improvements to the project backup system.
SMTP: CRAM-MD5 authentication is now preferred over LOGIN if both are supported, as it is more secure.
Behavior change: if "Secure Authentication" is checked, and secure authentication cannot be performed, an error will occur instead of falling back on insecure authentication. Previously, the user would never know that the password was transmitted insecurely. To prevent this from breaking your operations, the "Secure Authentication" box will become unchecked when an old project is opened. You may want to manually enable and test this feature.
Edit Auto-Response: added an "Insert Variable" tool to the context menu of the headers, Text Body, and HTML Body.
Compose: added support for attachment filenames that contain unicode characters.
Compose: if the "Import From File" tool is used, images on the Preview tab will now display correctly.

Compose: Attachment Viewer: various minor improvements.
Compose: Resize Image Attachment: this now supports 32-bit images with an alpha channel. Previously, the alpha channel would be discarded.
Compose: Export To File: the HTML images are not processed before the export is created. This can wait until an email is sent.
Compose: the Table Properties tool now appears on the toolbar's table menu. Previously it only appeared on the HTML editor's context menu.
View Archive: Forward: added the ability to specify a BCC recipient.
View Archive: added the "Refresh Messages" tool.

The server testing tools will now log the authentication method used.
Added the "Auto-Responses Sent Successfully" and "Auto-Responses Failed" statistics to the summary and log.
Database Connection String: Browse: if there is already a connection string that specifies a driver, the same driver will be pre-selected on the "Choose Driver" window.
Added the "Edit Auto-Response" tool to the Tools menu. Previously this could only be accessed with the button on the Settings tab.
Added the "Validate Table" button to the bottom of the Modifications table.
Fixed: some pairs of characters, in certain fonts, were displayed too close together.
Fixed: a rare but serious problem could cause a window to render incorrectly.
Fixed: email addresses with a long top-level domain, such as ".consulting", were being treated as illegal.
Fixed: if both "Direct Delivery" and "Test Outgoing Server Before Operation" were checked, an inappropriate error message would appear.

Added the "BCC" column to the Staff Table.
Added the ability to archive all forwarded emails.
The toolbar now has labels under each icon.
Added the "Don't Auto-Respond If Permanent Relationship" option.
Added the ability to control autoresponding with Rules.
While waiting for the next repeated operation to start, if the "View Log" button is clicked, the displayed log will now include all of the summary information. Previously the summary only appeared in the final log.

Added the "Insert Variable" tool to the context menu of the "What" column in the Modifications table.

View Archive: Filter Emails: added support for filtering by subject.
Auto-Respond: the Message-ID: header is changed in order to reduce the chance it is treated as spam.
View Archive: Forward: added support for unicode characters in the destination email address. Also, the To: header is now updated, and the Message-ID: header is changed.
Improved handling of a system shutdown. View Stats/Relationships Table: if the system is shutting down, the user will now be prompted to save their changes instead of automatically discarding them.
The {serial} variable is now stored in an additional file, not just in the project. This helps ensure that the serial number is always unique, across all projects, even if RRM is terminated ungracefully.
The server testing tools now display a green, yellow, or red status bar above the log.
The Compose tool now has a hotkey: F4.
View Archive: the Filter Emails tool now has a hotkey: F5.
Added the "Validate" button to the bottom of the Staff table.
Added a "Help" button to the bottom of the first Compose window.
Fixed: when forwarding an archived email, or when sending the admin an error notification, the delivery would fail if the SMTP server does not support Delivery Status Notifications (rare).

Added the ability to send an auto-response to all incoming emails.

Redesigned the Default skin. The old skin was renamed "Air".
Added the {serial} variable. This contains a unique serial number for each incoming email. Like other variables, it can be used by the Modifications feature or in an auto-response.
On the first window of the Compose tool, the Email Address field's drop-down list will now contain the email address of all staff members.
Added the "Tab Through Cells" option to the View Statistics Table and View Relationships Table windows' Options menu. When enabled, the tab key will advance to the next cell, not the next control.
The user is now warned if "Repeat Operation" is checked and "Delete Messages" is unchecked.
The HTML editor's Insert Groupbox tool will now put the selected text inside the groupbox instead of deleting it.
The View Archive's Forward tool now features a drop down list populated with the To: and X-ForwardedTo: headers. This makes it easy to resend an old email to the original staff member, or to the next staff member in the rotation.
Added the "Validate Table" tool to the Modification table's context menu.
If an error occurs when incrementing the relationship count column, or updating the relationship date column, it is now reported in the log.

New in Round-Robin Mailer 7.1 (Sep 1, 2014)

New in Round-Robin Mailer 7.0 (Feb 1, 2014)

Updated the SSL module. Numerous bug fixes and security improvements.

Numerous improvements to the "View Statistics Table" and "View Relationships Table" tools.
Added the "View Log" button to the progress window while waiting to repeat the operation.
Various interface improvements.
A tab can now be selected by pressing Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2, etc.
The Permanent Relationship's "Create Table" tool will now create the optional Count and Date columns. They are easier to manually delete than manually create.
When Permanent Relationships are enabled, the Reply-To: header and primary key will now be logged. Also, after logging "Relationship found:", the actual contents of the database's Client Column are logged instead of the contents of the header.
Added support for SSL's "Server Name Indication" feature.
The Log Filepath and Archive Emails Filepath fields now support DOS environment variables (e.g. %temp%).
Added the "Import" button to the bottom of the Staff table.

Added the "System Tools" launcher to the Interface menu.
The "Test Incoming Server" and "Test Outgoing Server" tools now report the SSL cipher, key size, and version.

Added the "Direct Delivery Possible?" tool.
Numerous improvements to the View Archive window's View Attachments tool.
The "Archive Emails" feature will now only archive emails when they are deleted. This is necessary because otherwise, if there is no staff member available to receive the email, the same emails would be archived over and over.
Minor interface improvements. Improved the Default skin.
The Modifications table can now add a new header to the forwarded email.
Added an optional database column to the Permanent Relationships feature that can record the number of emails forwarded.
Added to the View Archive tool the ability to select and copy part of a unicode header.
If a DNS or connection error occurs during a repeated operation, RRM would retry that same Incoming server over and over again. Now it will continue to the next server. This way, when processing email in more than one domain, if one domain goes down, it does not halt the processing of other domains.
Added a help file chapter on the Tools menu. Added a "Help" option to the bottom of the Options and Tools menus.
Added a "Validate Table" option to the context menu of the Incoming Servers table.
Added the "From:" and "Subject:" headers to the log.
