• FidoMail Mobile 0.1.15 - desktop version improvements

    From Dmitry Protasoff@2:5001/100 to All on Mon Oct 5 13:22:00 2026
    Hello All!

    Version 0.1.15+97 has been sent to the stores and is in review now:
    the App Store (iPhone, iPad and Mac) and Google Play. It will appear
    there once Apple and Google approve it.

    On the site the same program is already out as 0.1.14+96 (Android,
    Windows, Linux, macOS). Most of it is for the desktop builds: they
    stop looking like a phone program in a big window.

    Desktop:

    - Message list in columns: one line per message - Subject, From,
    Date (To and Score if you want them). Drag a column edge to resize
    it, right-click the header to choose the columns. Twice as many
    messages fit above the text. The old two-line look is still there:
    View -> Message list.
    - Select several messages: Ctrl-click, Shift-click, Shift+arrows,
    Ctrl+A - then mark read or unread, star or delete them all at
    once. Selecting does not mark anything read.
    - Right-click works everywhere: on a message (reply, forward, mark,
    delete, save...), on an echo in the folder pane, and on a link in
    the text (open, copy address).
    - Writing a message no longer covers the window: the editor opens
    in a pane on the right, the original stays in view, and you can
    go on reading other messages and echoes while a draft is open.
    It can be switched off: Settings -> Desktop layout.
    - Settings open as a window over the program, sections on the left.
    - Drop a file onto the editor to attach it. Ctrl+Enter sends,
    Ctrl+S saves the draft.
    - Save as: a message as a text file (Ctrl+S in the list).
    - The window title shows the echo and the unread count; Ctrl+plus
    and Ctrl+minus change the text size; toolbar buttons that do not
    fit move behind a ">>" button; PgUp/PgDn page the message list.
    - Closing the window asks before dropping an unsent message.
    - A second copy started on the same mail says so and quits.

    Linux:

    - There is a Flatpak now, for any distribution:
    flatpak install --user fidomail-0.1.14+96-linux.flatpak
    - The ordinary archive runs on older systems again: Ubuntu 20.04,
    Debian 10, RHEL 8 and newer (0.1.13 needed a very recent glibc).
    - With no keyring running the program no longer freezes for half a
    minute at start.

    Reading and writing:

    - New sort order "Thread (latest reply)": threads ordered by their
    newest message.
    - ftp:// and telnet:// in a message are links.
    - A reply to ANSI art quotes the picture as text, not escape codes.

    FidoNet:

    - More AreaFix robots are recognised, among them BeeMail,
    FastFIX, SqaFix, TosScan, RA-Echo and WILDMAIL!.
    - Android 13+: a monochrome launcher icon.
