[2023-05-17] Plain text indenting (quoting) when replying or forwarding (supports compressed quoting)
You can see an example of such quoting/indenting in the screenshot added to this post. This feature is primarily for users who prefer to use plain-text emails.
Compressed quoting/indenting for plain-text replies.
When an email is replied, the "more than" character-indenting will be added and the message will be wrapped to 80 characters per line.
This happens when replying or forwarding a plain-text message. If the message is replied to in HTML mode, then this does not happen because HTML uses different way of quoting earlier replies as defined in the selected template (see further below).
The plain-text supports/uses compressed quoting. Instead of adding the usual "> > > " for multiple replies, it will compress them to ">>> " (no spaces between the "more than" symbols) making the entire line shorter.
[2023-05-17] "Expand all folders" checkbox in Copy/Move folder selection (remembers state)
A few versions ago we've added "Expand All" as a button in the Copy/Move folder selection window. We've now modified this into the checkbox and the checkbox state is remembered/saved across sessions, so it always expands or collapses the folder list when you open the window, depending on what you choose.
[2023-05-17] Default username is the Account Wizard is now full email address (as with most providers)
Previously, the default username was the part before the @ character, e.g. for an email "john@example.com" - that would be "john". Now it is "john@example.com".
This is just a default, you can still modify it, if your provider uses different type of username. However, as the username being full email address is more common, this is now the new default.
Note that this doesn't affect auto-configured settings. They are aware if certain provider uses "local part" vs "full email" as the username and properly adjusts the "username".
[2023-05-17] Account Wizard automatically trims email addresses to avoid some errors, when adding leading or trailing spaces by mistake
Some users were typing in additional spaces when entering email address and OE Classic Account Wizard would report an error in such a case. Now it automatically trims such spaces to possibly avoid some errors.
[2023-05-17] More customizable message templates (by default stored in "c:\Program Files (x86)\OEClassic\Html\")
This is a feature for advanced users so if you feel you're such a user, continue reading. Message templates stored in the above folder allow you to customize how your "Reply" or "Forward" email will look like. A few are offered and "Edit-Default.htm" is used as a default one.
The change is that some of the styles in the template {FONTSTYLE1} and {FONTSTYLE2} where hard-coded in the program itself so it has inserted its styles as set by the user in the program. However, that doesn't allow modification of the template as the CSS-style is inserted by OE Classic.
So in this version those styles were extracted from {FONTSTYLE} into {FONTSTYLE1} and {FONTSTYLE2} and hard-coding was removed and moved into template itself, which can optionally (by advanced users) be replaced by custom CSS styles. Some knowledge of HTML is required for customizing templates. Note that if you customize templates you should not store them in the above folder as they would be overwritten by new updates. In such a case they should be stored in a custom folder, outside of the OE Classic installation folder.
