Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: Mr. Message (AIM client) 10/30/2004 update

Mr. Message for OS/2 is an instant messenger client which is capable  of 
communicating over AOL's Instant Messenger network using the OSCAR 
protocol (used in the Win32 AIM clients, jBuddy, gAIM, Kopete, ICQ,  and 
a variety of other clients).

It has been updated with the following changes:

* Added the ability to store multiple user profiles and away messages
   and select among them easily.
* Added a progress window during login.
* Modified the message rate regulation to allow for faster sending of
   information without violating AOL standards.
* Changed so that the user information (including the encoded password)
   is removed from the INI file when a session object is deleted from the
   Session Manager.
* Changed the queues which send data to the AOL servers to be priority
   based queues.  Now messages that are triggered directly by the user
   will have higher priority than those that are done automatically.
   You won't have to wait for it to retrieve all of the Profiles or
   Away Messages before you can send IMs now.
* Now understands server rate warnings so we shouldn't be disconnected
   due to exceeding AOL server message rate limitations.
* New WarpIn installation option thanks to Martin Iturbide.
* Fixed user profile to properly convert it to AOL-RTF format so that
   quotes, greater than and less than signs, and ampersands are
   translated properly.
* Fixed the benign "Partial TLV rejected" debug message.
* Fixed popping up to the wrong user settings when selected from the
   buddy list pop up menu.
* Fixed the length of the sound file name field in the settings dialog.
   You can now specify a full path.
* Aaron fixed a potential crash on startup when ACLCTL10.DLL is
   initialized.  Users who could not start Mr. Message after I started
   using ACLCTL10.DLL should try this version.  The crash was due to a
   failed attempt to display an error message.  These users should now
   see what the error message was supposed to be so it can be reported
   and hopefully addressed.
* Aaron fixed the error message that pops up on startup when the default
   printer of your system is set to a network printer.
