Build 20010916.130334 of RexxMail is now available from:
http://www.degeus.com/rexx/
This edition of RexxMail introduces the SafeHTML option to filter HTML content, preventing automatic access to external resources. Users can now safely view HTML content without fear of initializing unwanted connections to outside servers. With SafeHTML, image tag tracers are removed, and legitimate text and image tags pointing to external resources are rewritten to appear as clickable links.
In addition, RexxMail now rewrites links to MIME image content to point to the relevant graphics files in the attachments folder so images appear in line.
And of course, Microsoft Smart Tags are always blocked.
>From the RexxMail readme.txt file:
RexxMail provides an extremely flexible yet easy to use e-mail processing environment with a minimum of fuss. It operates through elements provided by the standard OS/2 Workplace Shell (which is still the best graphical user interface available on any platform). Since the RexxMail user interface consists of normal WPS folders and program and file objects, getting to know the program requires only a minimum of effort.
Although the standard way of working with RexxMail is through the WPS by manipulating WPS objects, RexxMail is a straightforward Classic REXX program that runs, like any REXX program, from a command line in a (hidden) windowed or full-screen OS/2 command processor session. Since all RexxMail operations are controlled by command-line switches, the full range of RexxMail functions and settings can also be accessed from a command line.
RexxMail is written in REXX, an interpreted language, so it is also its own source code, ready for you to edit to suit your preferences.
