Substantial New Beta Release of J Street Mailer

Harrison, New York, April 9, 1998, InnoVal Systems Solutions 
has released a substantial new beta version of J Street 
Mailer. This new beta follows right on the heels of Release 
One, the first production version of J Street Mailer that 
was released on March 24 at JavaOne in San Francisco.

"We barely stopped to breathe after putting out Release One," 
said Dan Porter, President of InnoVal Systems Solutions, 
Inc. "Java redefines the software development paradigm. 
Change is a constant state if one wants to keep up with new 
developments in Java. For instance, Sun recently released a 
maintenance revision for its HotJava browser component. I 
want our customers to have a chance to test it in the J 
Street Mailer context as soon as possible."

InnoVal has incorporated the improved HotJava browser 
component from Sun Microsystems on an experimental basis. 
Users can toggle between J Street Mailer's existing browser 
and the new HotJava component to evaluate performance and 
reliability. "I'm hoping to get a quick decision from our 
charter users," said Porter. "I'm hoping to have an updated 
production release of JSM, complete with IMAP4 support, by 
May 1st."

In addition to the HotJava component, this beta release also 
includes:

* New vector sorting API's for improved folder sortings. And 
if an item has been selected prior to sorting, the selection 
criteria is maintained after sorting.
  
* Cut, copy and paste for the HotJava, text-mode viewer, and 
compose windows.

* Optional support for FAT partition short file names so 
that data can be shared between platforms that can access 
FAT (e.g. OS/2 and Windows NT).

* Enhanced Transaction Log. Entries for messages that get 
deleted or moved to folders, accounts, or directories by 
filters, now specify that information.

* Enhanced Virtual Folders. You can now select which "real" 
folders to include when launching a virtual folder. 

* Color Coding of Messages in Filters. Filters can now be 
used to mark notes with color codes based on filter 
criteria.

* Problems opening a message with an attachment in the html 
browser window now works properly.

* Better HTML Support. HTML formatted pages handle 
background images, form elements, and HTML attachments 
correctly.

* Improved Message Window. Widths of columns in the message 
list panel of the main window as well as virtual folders are 
now saved.

J Street Mailer Charter Users, including anyone who has 
purchased a license for Release One, are welcome to try this
