The author's instructions
- NO SETUP REQUIRED! ReadMail will assume defaults and only ask for setup information if really necessary. If you still need to make changes to setup, you can access all information from within the program. There is no need to hassle with external .INI files. - ReadMail can read mail in almost any format available. If your mail format is not yet supported, you can easily set up a new header definition so you can read your mail anyway. Also read news packages, at this moment SOUP is the only supported news format. - Offline mailer support: ReadMail supports a several ways of composing offline mail. Either create a new file for each message (you choose the filename), call an external program that processes the message or store the message in SOUP format. The header format of outgoing mail is fully customizable. - Unique open digest feature: do you receive digest mail with many concatenated messages in it? (usually Internet RFC1153 format) -> ReadMail can open a new window and present all articles in the digest message. It is then even possible to reply to or forward an individual message from the digest! - Manage multiple signatures! Just create a file with all your sigs in it, prefix each sig with a ">DESCRIPTION: <description goes here>" line and ReadMail will let you pick a signature from a list! Optionally ReadMail can pick a random signature each time. - Write combined replies: Ever wanted to send a reply in which you quote multiple message bodies? With ReadMail you can. - Support for threads: either based on subject or on sender, it depends on what you sort on. ReadMail does not thread on message Id's. - A number of predefined color sets, choose your favorite one, or modify the colors the way you want them. …
