New from the Lab

The SpoolFlex V4 eMail is greatly improved (actual re-write/replacement of the V3 eMail).
Improvements in Version4 eMail:

• There is no charge for the new V4 eMail
• No longer uses the IBM Distribution Directory, SMTP or MSF
• No longer have to enter users into the Distribution Directory before they can send eMails. “From Email” information now comes from user defaults or SpoolFlex address book
• Configuration is much easier. It is a simple two step process
• The attachment names can now be up to 128 characters long and can have embedded blanks
• You can specify any From Name and From eMail address when sending an eMail  
  Example: You can have a Report Distribution send out eMails from an accounting eMail address
• You can send multiple attachments with a single eMail by using the new SFAEML API
• You can specify an eMail Sensitivity (Normal, Personal, Private, Confidential) (same as you can in the Outlook)
• You can request a Read Receipt when sending an eMail
• You can send multiple spooled files (attachments) with a single eMail from the Manage Spool File menu

Additional features coming soon to the V4 eMail

• Report Distribution will be able to send multiple attachments to a single eMail recipient
• Audit Trail will allow Re-Sending eMails with multiple attachments to the same recipient
• E-mail message will allow you to specify /N to force a new line
