MUI is an object oriented system to create and maintain graphical user interfaces. Programmers save a great amount of work and benefit from MUI's powerful object collection, users get the possibility to customize nearly every pixel of an applications look according to their personal taste. During the last years, MUI has established itself as a standard for graphical user interfaces on the Amiga. Since its first release in 1993, lots of experienced programmers have contributed to the success by releasing hundreds of MUI based applications.

MagicWB is a full replacement for the Graphical User Interface of the Workbench and has become the standard visual interface on the Amiga. Over the last years MagicWB has received various merits and an overwhelming response from Amiga magazines and users worldwide proclaiming it "a must for all Amiga users". Even commercial applications are supporting the multi-colored look & style of MagicWB.

The Mailtext MUI custom class package is especially designed to display electronic messages. Its main features cover:

• handling of font attributes: *bold*, /italics/, _underline_ and #coloured#. The text between the attribute characters '*', '/', '_' and '#' will be printed with the repective style. To accomplish this, Mailtext has a powerful analysis engine that handles many special cases to obtain best results. Also, processing can be switched off for certain passages of text, i.e. uuencoded binaries, signatures, PGP messages.
  
  
• highlighting of quoted textpasses: Mailtext is able to display up to five levels of quoted text in different colours. Quote are recognised by specifying the quote characters that may be used to introduce a quoted textpassage. The most common quote character is '>'. be introduced by a given set of quote characters, the most common is '>'.
  
  
• highlighting and handling of URLs: Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) may be highlighted. Also, an AmigaDOS command can be triggered whenever an URL is double clicked with the clicked URL as an argument. By using an ARexx script you could handle http:// URLs to your web, mailto: URLs back to your Mailer and ftp:// URLs to your FTP client. Mailtext supports all URL types specified in RFC 1738 "Uniform Resource Locators", Section 3.

As of NList, Mailtext also supports

• mark & copy to clipboard: use the mouse to mark text and have it copied to the clipboard.

Mailtext v3.0 needs MUI v3.6 (muimaster.library v17) and the NList package to work.

NList is a Custom Class for the Magic User Interface © by Stefan Stuntz. It's a subclass of area-class which make the same stuffs than the MUI List/Listview class, and more.

• NList implement horizontal scrolling, built-in copy to clipboard, classic char precision selection of area, drag and drop and some others.
  
  
• NListview give NList scrollbars, vertical as Listview, but horizontal too.
  
  
• NFloattext is like Floattext and do automatic word wrap. The interest to do it with NList is the builtin copy to clipboard.
  
  
• There is a mui pref class NListviews.mcp with it, which permit the user to choose all default backgrounds, pens and fonts.

To work that class must have the same major version number than original have (ie 19.x for MUI 3.8), so it will surely have to be upgraded for next MUI release.
