RSVP Mail Processor - Version 1.1.0
=====================================
Copyright (C) 1998 - Chimera Software

Introduction
------------
RSVP Mail Processor is a powerful tool for automated handling of incoming e-mail. 
RSVP can read and filter incoming e-mail and take action depending on the
content of the message.  RSVP can be used to delete unwanted mail, to automatically
reply to information requests, forward mail to another address, and much more.

Unlike other mail handling tools, RSVP has the ability to extract information from
the body of a message.  This is great for handling "form-letter" e-mail that follows
a specific pattern.  You can extract data and save it to a file in a customized
format.  You can also use the data in an outgoing message.  Anyone who gets "standard"
e-mails from a program, web-site, or service can use RSVP to save time and effort.


Installation
------------
RSVP is distributed in a compressed archive format (ZIP file).  To install you must 
use a decompression utitlity that can handle ZIP files.  Some popular products are 
WinZIP (www.winzip.com) and PKZIP (www.pkzip.com).

First, make a temporary folder on your hard disk.  Use the decompression utility to
extract all files from the ZIP file into this folder.

You should see a "setup.exe" file in the temporary folder.  Double click this icon,
or type "setup" from a DOS command prompt in this directory.

The installation program should start running.  Follow the prompts to install 
RSVP Mail Processor on your machine.


Getting Started
---------------
RSVP comes with documentation in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF).  To read 
this file you will need a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader software, available at no 
charge from the Adobe Web site (www.adobe.com).

This documentation contains all the information you will need to get started 
using RSVP.

- Allow criteria to include which mailbox a message is from
- Allow checking of mail in 10 second intervals by setting the delay to 0.
- Added option for RSVP to exit when finished reading messages
- Enhanced the forwarding action to preserve the original sender and reply addresses
- Now executes agents by default when no filters are specified for the agent

Fixes:

- Fix to scroll the status message display automatically
- Attempted fix for crashes with MS Exchange Server 5.5 (nonstandard POP3 implementation)
- Increased timeout interval to 120 secs when checking for mail, etc.
- Fixed bug w/ configuration file losing info caused by a memory overwrite
- Fixed bug with start/reset - should only restart if not processing information
- Memory leak when downloading messages with attachments
- Date header added to outgoing messages
- Fix for "Run program" action having trouble with batch files under Win NT.

Version 1.0.3 [03/05/98]
------------------------
- Changed default for outgoing mail to use 7-bit instead of quoted-printable encoding

- The Recipient variable now includes data from both the "To:" AND the "CC:" headers.
  This was an oversight that prevented users from filtering mail that was CCed to them. 

- Enhanced the "Execute Program" action to support waiting for program completion.
  Now a program can be launched, executed, and its results used directly by the same
  action.

Version 1.0.2 [01/22/98]
------------------------
- Bug fix for mail sending problem.  Was sending a blank recipient if the 
  CC field was not used.  This worked on some SMTP servers, but generated
  a "Null recipient" error on others.

Version 1.0.1 [01/09/98]
------------------------
- Better support for sending mail to complex e-mail addresses.
  RSVP can now send mail to addresses of the form "Name <name@host.com>", where
  previously only basic addresses of the form "name@host.com" were supported.

- Also added more robust error messages when sending mail
