Seems there are *some* changes to the Win version.

Anders Gjerl posted his observations:
* Ability to check mail at greater intervals then 1 hour
* Ability to apply specific filters to selcted messages.
* Re-index option under Tools menu (nice :o)
* Better possibility to set up dial-up connection from PMMail

Steven Tryon posted his observation:
* PMMail 2000 now accepts ?subject= in mailtos.

My own observations (PMMail 2000 Standard version):
* new - the ability to customize PMMail's mail printing output (feature
already present on the last but one OS/2 version)
* fixed bug - in certain (known) condition, when opening PMMail,
message list was disappeared
* fixed bug - with the HTML option active, default font changed itself
to Arial at the moment the first letter was typed
* half fixed bug - charset ISO 8859-2 (Latin 2) works ok, country
dependent characters are properly displayed locally & remotely;
however, character =CE is invisible local & remote if set to quoted
printable and invisible local but visible remote or in 'view full
message' mode if set to 8 bit (only tested that ones of my interest:
=AA, =BA, =C2, =C3, =CE, =DE, =E2, =E3,=EE,  =FE)

Things that remains unchanged:
* still bug - a HTML message, something written with Arial 12, the  the
required <FONT SIZE="3" POINTSIZE="12"> statement is missing (font
dimension is relevant, not font type)
* still bug - if the composed message's word wrap is 'no wrap' or
'wysiwyg', spell checker works, but the wrong word is not blued
* still bad - tab character is not expanded to hard spaces (important
for the Pro version)
* still stupid - saving message to draft, the message is formatted
according to current wrap settings
* still annoying - when saving a message, default extension is none,
even if PMMail register itself the *.msg extension
* strange - To: field, RMB, the last sent name flips up / down on the
vertical list
* strange - To: field, RMB, the most recently used list does not
reflect the reality

Best wishes,
