Virdi Advanced Mail Processor (VAMP): 
-------------------------------------
VAMP is an advanced and very versatile mail processor. Its main purpose is 
to pre-process that mail which requires standard responses. It can also be 
used to extract and collate data from the message body and is ideal for 
processing messages where the text layout is known (e.g. web forms). 
Messages can be filtered on any of the header fields (or a combination of 
them). Additional fields (including X-headers) can be added to the filtering 
process if required. Data extracted from the message body can be written to 
a file or used to compose an outgoing message. Responses possible include, 
forwarding the message, sending a  new message (with or without an 
attachment) and deleting the message. You can also run an external program 
to process the incoming message. In addition it will also reject or accept 
mail from specified addresses, domains etc. It now allows you to remotely 
run applications on your system by sending an email message.

Main Features:
-------------
- support for unlimited number of mailboxes.
- talks directly to pop3 server.
- Accept list for unconditional mail acceptance from trusted parties.
- Reject list for unconditional mail rejection from blacklisted parties.
- Rejected messages can be bounced, forwarded and/or deleted.
- Filter on any field, size, entire header or body content.
- Simple logical 'AND' and 'OR' operation for filters.
- Filter actions include forwarding, deleting, text extraction and 
  launching external program.
- Extracted text can be used to compose an outgoing message or saved to a file.
- Append a text file and/or an attachment to outgoing messages.
- Remotely run applications on your system by sending an email message.
- Associate sounds with any filter.
- Audible new mail alert, or launch program.
- Backup, restore and cleanup features.
- Interactive mode for a manual peek at your messages.

History:
--------
1.6.0
	Accept and Reject lists can now be sorted.

	Extended functionality for Accept and Reject lists. Messages can now be 
	rejected or accepted based on any (defined) header field. Previously, 
	you had to define a filter to do this.


1.5.2
	Added a new action to save extracted data at the start of a file. 
	Previously you could only append it.

	Fixed bug where some messages in the reject list were only being 
	forwarded to the address that was visible in the window.
	
	Some fine tuning.

1.5.1
	when sending an attachment, vamp now sends the message text also as an 
	attachment.

	fixed bug which was causing program to sometimes crash if the lines in a 
	received message were too long.

	fixed bug which was causing the program sometimes to hang when the 
	recipient field was blank. Vamp now ignores (and deletes) these messages 
	with an entry in the log files.

	Fixed bug where the file dialog was incorrectly presenting .wav files 
	only while setting up external program launch.

1.5.0
	Added functionality where you can send commands via email to run 
	applications on your system from anywhere in the world.

	You can now save data to a new file (instead of appending), if you 
	have need for such functionality. This will overwrite the file if 
	it exists. 

	Fixed bug which was causing a "List index out of bounds" error 
	message when adding a new mailbox.
	
	Some minor bug fixes.

1.4.1
	This is a maintenance release.

	Fixed bug in interactive mode where the wrong header was being shown 
	for a message.

	Some minor bug fixes.	

1.4.0
	Added new mail alerts. You can now have audible alerts or launch 
	programs, such as your mail client, when new mail arrives. This 
	function is different from the normal type of alerts in that it is 
	performed after the mail has been processed. So if you have filters 
	to remove 'junk' mail then you will only get this alert only if you 
	receive 'non- junk' messages.

	You can also associate sounds with individual filters. So if you are 
	expecting that important message, you can now set a filter for it 
	and associate it with a distinctive sound. This way you don't have 
	to keep looking in your mailbox.

	When sending an outgoing message, you can now specify a file to read 
	the text from.

	Values from multiple fields (e.g. Received) are now combined 
	together, separated by commas.

	Added these new directives for text extraction:- 
	- forward to blank line
	- forward to non-blank line
	- back to blank line
	- back to non-blank line
	- extract email in line
	- Back to string in line
	
	You can now search for spaces when extracting text.
	
	You can now filter on the entire text contained in the header.

	You can now filter on the contents of the body. You can also specify 
	the number of lines to scan.

	Fixed bug which was causing external programs not to be launched if they 
	contained spaces in the path or name.

	Implemented a work around for some non-compliant email addresses.

	Improved window layout.
	
1.3.0
	Added a button to clear the message cache.

	Added scroll bars to the text box for outgoing messages, and added a 
	button for line wrap.

	Added an extra field "Err" to summary in log reports. This logs 
	messages that could not be processed for any reason.

	Fixed a few minor bugs.

1.2.2
	You can now specify the directory where you want to backup the 
	configuration.

	Fixed bug in Actions dialog where if you edited a 'Fwd msg' 	
	instruction, the new instruction was being appended to the list 
	instead of being inserted at the original position.

	Fixed bug which, on rare occasions, was giving a "handle not 
	valid" error message and causing the program to malfunction.

1.2.1
	Fixed bug in text extraction routine, where a string search would 
	only work correctly if started from the beginning of a line.
	
1.2.0
New Features:
	Added Backup, Restore and Cleanup features. This gives the ability 
	to copy the configuration to a new machine, e.g. a laptop computer.

1.1.0
New Features:
	If outgoing message cannot be sent, for any reason, it will be saved 
	and an attempt made later during the next session. You can set a 
	maximum value for these attempts or keep trying until successfully 
	sent.

	The tray icon now flashes when a session is in progress.

Bug fixes:
	Fixed bug which would not let you delete a rejected message unless 
	the "Forward to"  or "Return to sender" option was also selected.

	Fixed bug which was causing Vamp to freeze when attempting to 
	extract text which extended to more than one line.

1.0.2
	Maintenance release.
	Fixed bug in registration verification routine - only affected the 
	unregistered version.

1.0.1
