QuickMail v0.8.48 Release Notes

Added

Put your accounts in the order you want

Accounts have always appeared in the order you added them. Now you can rearrange them. Move to the
Accounts list, select an account, and press Alt+Up, Alt+Down, Alt+Home or
Alt+End — or use the context menu (Shift+F10, the Applications key, or right-click), which
offers Move Up, Move Down, Move to Start and Move to End.

Each move says where the account landed — "Moved above Work" — and leaves you on the account you
moved, so you can press the key again. At either end of the list QuickMail says so, rather than
doing nothing.

The order is not only the account list: it is the order the accounts appear in the folder tree, and
the order of the From list when you compose a message. Putting the account you use most at the
top puts it first everywhere. All four moves are in the command palette too, and you can give them
different keys in File → Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts.

Move the Calendar to the bottom of the folder list

Calendar has always been the first thing in the folder tree, which puts it in the way if you
reach your mail by arrowing down from the top. Open the context menu on the Calendar node and
choose Calendar at Bottom of Folder List to move it below your accounts, or Calendar at Top of
Folder List to put it back. Both items are checkable, so opening the menu tells you where the
calendar is now, and the choice is remembered between sessions. Both are in the command palette as
well.

Headings 4 to 6, Normal text, and quotes when you write a message

In Markdown and HTML modes you can now make a line a heading of any level from 1 to 6, with
Ctrl+Alt+1 to Ctrl+Alt+6, and turn headings or quoted lines back into ordinary paragraphs
with Ctrl+Alt+0. Before, the only way out of a heading was to press its key again.

Ctrl+Shift+9 — the same key Gmail uses — quotes the lines you are on or have selected, and takes
them out of the quote when you press it again. Press Enter inside a quote to continue it, or Enter on
an empty quoted line to end it. A quote can be inside another quote, and Ctrl+T tells you which
level you are at ("Quote, level 2"). Ctrl+T also now tells you when you are in a link, with its
address, and when you are in inline code.

In HTML mode, the three heading buttons on the formatting toolbar are replaced by a Paragraph
style box: it shows the style of the line you are on. Arrow to Normal text, a heading level or
Quote and press Enter, or choose one from the open list, to apply it and return to your text.
Arrowing through the box on its own changes nothing. Format → Paragraph Style has the same eight choices, with the current one
checked.

Pressing Enter at the end of a heading now starts a line of normal text, as in Word and Outlook.

Fixed

Replies in HTML mode sent ">" characters instead of a quote

When your default compose mode is HTML, a reply put the original message in as lines beginning with
">", and that is what the recipient got. The original is now a real quote, and when it was an HTML
message it keeps its own headings, lists, links and earlier quotes. Quotes inside quotes stay
nested. The plain text part of the message still marks quoted lines with ">", as plain text mail
always has. Your signature now also appears when a reply or a forward opens in HTML mode.

Clear Formatting cleared only the first and last line of a selection

Ctrl+Space over several paragraphs left every heading in the middle alone. It now clears every
line you selected, and takes them out of any quote.

Undo after changing a heading

Undoing a heading change restored how the line looked but not what was sent, so a line that looked
like normal text could still go out as a heading. Undo and Redo now change both.

The right context menu on an account, and on the toolbar's dropdown buttons

Pressing Shift+F10 (or the Applications key) on an account in the Accounts list opened the
message menu — Reply, Reply All, Move to Folder — rather than the account actions. The same thing
happened on the toolbar's Sync Range and View Mode buttons, where the gesture is the keyboard
way to the dropdown those buttons open. All three now open their own menu.

This is not new to this release; it goes back to the fix that gave the folder tree its own menu,
which missed the other places. It became easy to notice now that the account menu has something on
it worth reaching.

Reporting Issues

Found a problem or have a suggestion? There are three ways to reach us — pick the one that fits:

1. Report a Bug → Send (Help menu, inside QuickMail). Files the report for you anonymously — it includes no email address or other identifying information, so there is no way to follow up with you. Best when you don't want any follow-up.
2. Report a Bug → Copy report and open GitHub (Help menu). Opens a pre-filled issue that you submit under your own GitHub account, so your GitHub contact information is attached. Best when you have a GitHub account and want automatic filing plus direct contact.
3. Email support@theideaplace.net. Best when you don't mind sending email and want a personal follow-up.

Full details, including exactly what a report contains (and what it never contains), are in the Reporting Issues section of the User Guide.

Download

There are four downloads. Take a regular one unless you know your PC has an ARM processor — to check, open Settings → System → About and read System type.

The regular downloads run on every supported PC, ARM ones included — just not as quickly there. The ARM downloads will not start at all on a non-ARM PC, so if you are unsure, the regular one is the safe guess.

All downloads include the .NET 10 runtime — you do not need to install .NET separately.
