YAM2AmIRC.rexx - The interface for YAM and AmIRC
	================================================


· Introduction:

I hate it to open YAM and look what kind of EMail arrived while I work
with AmIRC. I could of course set up filters that play certain sounds
on certain EMails, but still, I can't see whose EMail I got.

So I came to the idea of writing a little script that sends useful
information to the AmIRC window, letting me easily see who EMails come
from, without the need to open the YAM window.



· Features:

- Display number of total/new/unread "Incoming" EMails in active AmIRC
	window. 
- Allows to set up patterns to match the "From" header and display the
	resulting emails.
- Plays a soundfile even when AmIRC is not active.
- Displaying of all New and Unread EMails in the Incoming folder.
- AmIRC interface to control YAM2AmIRC from within itself, so you can at
	any time check your Incoming folder and even control YAM.
- Many configuration options, also for the sound player.
- Separate config file, no need to delete your old settings
	anymore when you update.
- Includes spanish and german versions !



· Requires at least:

- YAM2.0 (the previews don't work with this version)
- AmIRC2.0 (should work with earlier versions also)
- RexxMast active.
- Optionally a soundplayer or MultiView with a correct sound datatype.
- An Amiga computer, of course.

· Changes since v2.0 :

- v2.1b		internal, changed config access to external file. Changed
			output a little bit.

- v2.1b2	fixed bug that would run the whole script even when YAM was not
			running. Added "about", "help" and "config" commands. Some
			minor optimizations.

- v2.1		removed debug lines. No other errors found.

- v2.11		internal, added code for future feature (not implemented yet in
			YAM).

- v2.12		added selection feedback to previously selected mail and some
			new output for AmIRC.

- v2.2		optimized the code (a few commands missing in the YAM previews).
			YAM2AmIRC now creates a temporary file in T: which
			saves much processing time when called within AmIRC.
			Now no case sensitivity anymore with patterns.
			Added german and spanish version to the release.

- v2.3		some mayor optimizations. YAM2AmIRC now doesn't review the whole
			list of EMails anymore when checking the list, it stops
			after all Emails marked as New are reviewed. Added "close"
			and "check" (by request) commands. Changed the code so now
			is it easy to do translations.
