This easter weekend I plan to release a beta version of MassMail, to test out publicly the new features and to get feedback on the work so far.

MassMail is now very close to complete.

In the next few week before chrismas I hope to release a version.

Soon I will be releasing MassMail V2. The new version has had a full overhaul. From Html editors, to better recipient handling MassMail V2 has it all.

Here is a taste of things to come.

I have just added a new code snippet to the site, one that deals with simple encryption/decryption of strings.

Here is a simple method for encrypting and decrypting strings.

This example can be used to encrypt database connection strings and other important information.

Another version of MassMail has hit the public domain today. *.2.4 fixes some of those annoyances from the previous versions.

Here are the highlights:-

 - Restored Windows shortcuts.
  – Added embedded content items to menu for quick use.
  – moved some controls on main form.
  – Removed context menu from editor.
  – Fixed log windows location.
  – Converted Version.txt to Windows native format.

The long awated full logging support has now been added to the sending operations.

I have just completed another change to MassMail.

The new version has support for embedded content, a feature suggested by Andrea in Milan, Italy.

1.0.2.2
- Added support for embedded content.
- Fixed a bug causing progress box to cover messages.

I have been working on a new database engine done using Xml. The new engine which I have named XOStore, which is short for Xml Object Storage allows .NET developers to store objects and their states to disk.

This system means you can save an object to your hard drive and later load if over a LAN or any media as it was.

I plan to release the preview version soon to collect feedback.

1.0.2.1
  – Added group check to import recipients.
  – Added group check to export recipients.
  – Added check to remove recipient.
  – Switch to release to omit debug information.
  – Added resizing, maximizing, minimizing to recpients manager.
  – Added edit recipient feature to recipient manager.
  – Altered treeview in recipients manager to automatically expand the whole tree.
  – Added message to function of the recipients manager.
  – Improved some error messages.
  – Added group check for move recipient.
