DESCRIPTION

     AmigaElm is an "Electronic Mail Reader" which allows you to read and
     write mail. Normally you'd need a properly installed UUCP or IP
     package (eg, AmigaUUCP, Feulner-UUCP, Dillon-UUCP, wUUCP or AmiTCP
     plus INetUtils) to receive and send mail, but AmigaElm is highly
     configurable so that you can take a mail-folder from a UNIX box,
     answer the messages and bring the answers back to the UNIX box.

     AmigaElm is easy to install and to use. The user interface is very
     intuitive and similar to the well-known UNIX "elm". Beginners can
     control all basic functions with menus and some nice GadTools
     requesters. Advanced users can use aliases, prioritized message tagging,
     various filename-offers when saving messages and lots of options to
     configure AmigaElm to fit your needs. In a system with multiple users,
     AmigaElm allows separate configuration files for each user.

     AmigaElm can be invoked in a special "terminal mode" (all input/output
     from/to console). This is useful for running AmigaElm in the current
     shell window or over a serial line (eg, with AUX-Handler).

     AmigaElm offers basic internal MIME (multimedia mail) functionality
     (eg, sending 8-bit-text and binaries over 7-bit-lines) and supports
     "MetaMail" (a full-featured package for handling all kinds of MIME
     messages -- also available on AmiNet, see section "AVAILABILITY") and
     "ReqTools" library 2.x (reqtools.library is included).

     AmigaElm has built-in support for cryptographic applications (eg, PGP).
     Encryption and decryption of messages is user-configurable.

NEW FEATURES

     Changes since version 7:  (summary)
      - New config variable to iconify Elm's window with close gadget.
      - Enhanced "get-string" code to get string from user in terminal mode.
      - Built-in function "jump to msg #" now allows to edit the first digit
        you've typed.
      - After changing the folder ("c") Elm was sometimes confused if it
        should store read mail really in the received folder or if the
        current folder already was a received folder. This has been fixed,
        neither Elm nor its author can be confused any longer ;-)
      - Some changes in documentation.

     (see file "History.Txt" for complete list of changes)

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

     AmigaOS 2.0 (or higher)

     And for normal usage: a properly installed UUCP or IP package.
     But can be configured to run without a UUCP or IP package for
     processing ready-made mail-folders (eg, from your work or
     university).
