9 ===========
10
11 This plugin allows the user to turn on an extra frame below
12 the mailbox message list where the messages themselves are
13 displayed, very similar to many other popular (typically
14 non-web-based) email clients.
15
16 Note that users must turn this functionality on by going to
17 the Options-->Display Preferences menu.
18
19 This plugin is part of the SquirrelMail core package and
20 should never be replaced with a downloaded copy (that which
21 is available on the SquirrelMail website under Plugins is
22 only applicable to SquirrelMail 1.4.x).
23
24 This plugin should be activated only by a skin (template set)
25 that is capable of displaying a message preview pane. One
26 such skin (template set) is the "default advanced" one that
27 comes with the SquirrelMail base package.

69 v1.3 2007/05/17 Paul Lesniewski <paul@squirrelmail.org>
70 * Added ability to close/open the preview pane using buttons below
71 the "Sign Out" link (Thanks to Edwin Taylor <hagfish@ntlworld.com>)

73 preview pane is not turned on) (Thanks to Daniel Watts <d@nielwatts.com>)
74 * Added auto-hide functionality (Thanks to Daniel Watts <d@nielwatts.com>)
75 * Introduce slight delay refreshing message list so read messages
76 actually refresh as having been read
77 * Added 1.4.9 patch; versions between 1.4.3 and 1.4.10 should be
78 patch-able with the 1.4.3 patch
79 * Added 1.4.9 patch for delete, move, next plugin
80 * Added 1.5.1 patch, then removed it ;-p 1.5.2 supports this
81 functionality natively.
82 * Patches run from plugin directory now
83 * Translations now kept in SquirrelMail locales packages, not in
84 this plugin; translators please send your translations to the
85 squirrelmail-i18n mailing list
86 * Added requisite informational functions in setup.php per plugin specs
87 * Use $PHP_SELF instead of REQUEST_URI, since apparently the latter is not
88 always 100% reliable.
89 * No longer support replacement source files; patches are more than enough
90 * Fully compatible with Windows plugin, version 1.7+
91 * Fully compatible with Sent Confirmation plugin, version 1.7+ (upgrade
92 required)
93
94 v1.2 2004/06/08 Paul Lesniewski <paul@squirrelmail.org>
