Mbox 1.10

mbox.wcx is a 32-bit Windows DLL for reading and writing Unix mailbox files (mbox format). This packer plugin basically makes it possible for Total Commander to treat mbox files like "directories" of mail files.

What's new

mbox version history
--------------------
o 2003, Jul 27 -- v1.00 beta 1
  * first public release

o 2003, Aug 12 -- v1.00 beta 2
  * fixed:   - Obsolete time zone formats (according to RFC 2822)
               now are handled correctly.
  * changed: - The mbox files now are opened in binary mode.
             - When extracting messages, any ASCII character 26
               (EOF marker) is replaced with the string "".
             - Several minor tweaks.
  + new:     - Considerably enhanced documentation.

o 2003, Aug 24 -- v1.00 beta 3
  * changed: - Several minor tweaks.
  + new:     - Mailboxes now can also be opened with [Ctrl]+[PageDown],
               regardless of the file extension.

o 2003, Nov 09 -- v1.00 final
  * fixed:   - Now any Quoted-Printable encoded text in the subject of
               a mail is decoded in a simple way, before it is used to
               build the name of a mail file.
  * changed: - If the last line of a message in an mbox file only
               contains a dot, then that line will be ignored.
  + new:     - Source code released.

o 2005, Sep 12 -- v1.10 beta 1
  * changed: - E-mail headers are now often recognized as such, even
               when they are syntactically not correct. So mbox files
               that are not in conformity with the standard are split
               more reliably.
             - mbox now locks the mbox files while it reads or writes
               them, so that other programs can't alter them at the
               same time.
             - In order to create a unique file name, the serial number
               of the mail in the regarding mbox file is not appended
               to the subject any more, but a hexadecimal number
               representing date, time and time zone of the mail is
               used instead. In the rare cases, when there are never-
               theless duplicate names, a serial number in brackets
               will be added.
             - Files that do not start with a "From " line are not
               considered valid mbox files any more.
             - Several internal changes.
             - Enhanced documentation.
  + new:     - Support for base64 encoded subjects.
             - Support for UTF-8 in subjects.
             - Delete selected mails from an mbox file.
             - Create new mbox files.
             - Add mails to an mbox file.
             - Progress bar for "Test Archive(s)".
             - Show a message box when the user clicks the [Configure]
               button from within "Pack files" dialog box.

o 2005, Oct 17 -- v1.10 beta 2
  * fixed:   - Small bug in decoding quoted-printable encoded subjects.
             - Bug in parsing e-mail headers that was introduced in
               v1.10 beta 1.
             - 2 bugs in the enclosed demo program of v1.10 beta 1.
  * changed: - Slightly more consistent check of files whether they are
               valid mbox files which can be handled by the plugin.
             - Functionality of "Test Archive(s)" extended.
             - Empty directories now can be packed (to mbox files of
               size 0). This is consistent with *un*packing mbox files
               of size 0, and with the way Total Commander's internal
               ZIP packer works.
             - Some internal changes.
             - Enclosed demo program improved.
             - Enhanced documentation.
  + new:     - Total Commander asks for confirmation whether it may
               overwrite a file in an open archive, if the archive is
               associated with the concerning packer plugin.
               But Total Commander does *not* do so for archives that
               are not associated with the packer plugin (tested with
               TC 6.53). This is unexpected and can cause data loss!
               In these cases now the plugin asks the user for confirmation.
             - The plugin now can read the text for its dialog windows
               from a file. This allows selection of the language at
               runtime. Automatic support for English and German.

o 2005, Oct 29 -- v1.10 final
  * changed: - When there are duplicate mail names, no serial number is
               added to the first name anymore. The serial numbers of
               the other mails are now enclosed in square brackets
               instead of round brackets, so that Total Commander sorts
               the names consistently.
             - Some internal changes.
             - Language files are checked more strictly.
             - German language file renamed to "German.lng". If you had
               installed the beta 2 version, please manually delete the
               file "Deutsch.lng".
             - Improved documentation.
  + new:     - Automatic support for Dutch and Polish.
             - Source code released as separate package.
