- CC-by-mail for following-up posts
- Late winsock initialization
- Property sheets control (tabbed dialog box) for the preference dialog
box
- Improvement of the search functions

1. modeless dialog box
   2. accept regexp so that user can specify more than one search key
   at a time, e.g. faq|help
   3. automatically tag articles

• Keystrokes for article window and threads window

  SPACEBAR page down or next unread
  n next unread < or , previous article > or . next article
  r reply
  m forward
  f followup
  d decode
  p print
  h toggle full headers mode
  o switch article font
  w toggle wrap mode



• Pack/Unpack MIME articles. Support two additional coding schemes -
  Base64 and Quoted-Printable for MIME. You are encouraged to use
  Base64 instead of UUencode for MIME binary attachments. NX decodes
  attachments automatically and allow you to double click the filename
  imbedded in article to launch associated viewer
  - Use extended NNTP command to provide remote search articles feature.
  For example, the steps to grab FAQs in several groups are:
  
  
  
  1. activate newsgroup window and tag the desired groups
     2. select the Article|Find article command
     3. select the "Subject" for header field,
     4. enter "[fF][aA][qQ]" in the pattern field
     5. specify the folder
     6. press the OK button
  
  
  
  

all matched articles will be stored in the specified folder and
you can read them later on
- Automatic NewJIS to SJIS and SJIS to NewJIS conversion for reading and
posting articles in fj groups (for Japanese Windows only). To enable
this feature, you have to add the following line under [Config] section:

[Config]
...
NewJIS2SJISConv=YES
...

Known problems:
- Edit control limitation ( < 64K bytes )

Note: Outbox format is incompatible from the previous version and please
make sure to clean up all those pending messages before you install
the new version.
