DESCRIPTION

    THOR  2.1  is  an advanced multi-format offline reader,
    supporting the QWK,  Fido,  UUCP,  SOUP,  Bluewave, Omen,
    ABBS, MBBS and Hippo (BBBS) message  formats.  It will
    also handle TCP-connections with NNTP, SMTP and POP3.

    Some of the features:

    o Flexible message database system with true history,
      message marking, searching and threading.
    o Copyback and write-through file buffering system.
    o Internal editor with ARexx and macro recording support.
    o Extensive ARexx support with the main THOR ARexx port,
      the bbsread command host library and the FSE internal
      editor (a total of 123 commands). The bbsread command
      host library can be used to access all databases without
      THOR running. Many useful and powerful ARexx scripts are
      included.
    o All events (messages you write, etc.) can be edited freely
      after having been entered.
    o Advanced purging system with Global settings for days
      and/or number of messages to keep. Each conference can also
      have separate settings.
    o User name database with a fast look-up table of names and
      editor.
    o File database.
    o Kill/Emphasize database with advanced support for all
      message fields and several "haze"-levels. Wildcards are
      fully supported.
    o Locale support.
    o Support for 15 international character sets.
    o Supports new 3.0 features (newlook menus, memory pools,
      interleaved screens, 24 bit palette, screen and window
      pictures, inline pictures, ....)
    o Font sensitive and Style Guide compliant user interface
      with a listview that support true ANSI colors, multi- and
      dragselection of entries.
    o Advanced and flexible forward string, tagfile and signature
      system.
    o It is possible to edit data, edit text, freeze and activate
      events.
    o All search functions can take standard AmigaDOS wildcards.
    o Optional reflow of message text imported into the editor.
    o Extensive support for MIME on news and mail
    o Progressbar on time-consuming operations.
    o Extensive documentation (450K+).

    + a lot more..

NEW FEATURES

    Some of the changes from 2.01 to 2.1:

    o Recursive multipart MIME message and binary support.
    o MIME binary part messages can now be viewed inline (only
      pictures, OS 3.x required), viewed with Multiview
      (pictures + anims, OS 3.x required) or saved.
    o New sort/group mode added: Subject+Thread. Will group
      the threads by subject in the "TIN-way". When a thread
      is selected, the thread will expand to include all messages
      in the msglist window. When some other thread is selected,
      the expanded thread will be folded again.
    o Return-Receipt and Encode 8-bit (quoted-printable on MIME)
      can be used when writing messages if the system type supports
      it.
    o The numeric keyboard can be used for navigation in most
      windows.
    o Multiselection on join conference.
    o Multiselection in the message list window implemented. By
      multiselecting messages, you can print, save, mark them with
      unread/keep/superunread/delete flags and do various things
      from ARexx with the selected messages.
    o Window picture will be used in progressbars
    o The list of users in the user database window has been expanded
      to include more information.
    o ALL replies on a news/mail kind of system will be a reply event
      with a correct reference header, if the type supports it.
    o Getting news with the TCP tools will let you define the number
      of sockets to use. Using more than one socket will speed up
      collection of news with 30-80%.
