[ANN] XMail 3.0
[ANN] XMail 3.0
XMail is an osax for Mac OS X (10.4 & 10.3) allowing scripters to send
mail from AppleScript without using a third party application. XMail
supports many authentication mechanism (Plain, Login, Anonymous,
cram-md5,cram-sha1), is able to detect the best authentication scheme
available (Auto), can use multiple recipients (To,Cc,Bcc), allow
crypted connection using SSL, allow extra mail headers, supports
Unicode, handles attachments flawlessly, accepts text and html mails,
is free and open source.
XMail 3.0 is finaly here, bringing a lot of new features :
- full Unicode support,
- moved the encoding of the body from ISO-8859-1 to UTF8,
- support for mail addresses of the form : The Name
<email@hidden> (UTF-8 + base 64 encoding applied when required),
- added the ability to include Unicode characters in the name of the
recipients and in the subject,
- the quoted-printable algorithm is now included and used correctly,
- new mime-types/extension based on a plist, so you can add your own
mimes-types if it is not already in XMail,
- now handle sending mails to more than 100 recipients at once
(useful for mailing-lists.),
- re-design of the memory management. XMail now has a smaller memory
footprint, no more leaks.
- the bound for MIME messages are no longer pre-encoded in XMail,
- better error reporting (you can catch traditional SMTP error codes
in your ’try ... end try’ blocks along with the SMTP error message),
- a new authentication algorithm has been added CRAM-SHA1, it is
solely based on the RFC, I did not have the opportunity to test it,
- ’send mail’ now returns the mail that was sent, allowing you to
save a copy of the mail,
- the ’Scripting Definition File’ (aka sdef) is now included in the
bundle. (Useful for Tiger users),
- a new suite: ’XMail toolbox’ that offers handy commands for those
using ’send raw mail’ allowing them to benefit from the latest
additions made to ’send mail’.
