Color codingThe message bodies in Dialog are color coded. You can use custom colors for quoted lines (with different colors for up to 4 quotation levels), signatures, links and spoilered text.? Extremely customizable GUIDialog has a modern look and supports Windows XP themes.You can use a three pane layout for the list of newsgroups, the article list and message bodies with your preferred arrangement and you can zoom each of these panes.The toolbar buttons and keyboard shortcuts are fully customizable.? Multiple server supportDialog supports multiple servers. Though the same groups on different servers are presented as separate groups in Dialog, you can copy or move articles into one group, either manually or by using a filter that does it automatically. This is a great way to fill missing parts of multipart postings from other news servers. Dialog has support for SSL connections.? Multiple identity supportYou can define multiple identities, e.g. when you have to post or email in your spare time and for your company.? Multiple background threadsDialog can start multiple connections to each server and use these connections in multiple threads. A distinct thread logic makes the most of the number of allowed connections while leaving space for new tasks at the same time.? Spell checkerThe built-in spell checker provides complete live-spelling and live-correct support, as known from MS Word. Dictionaries are available for more than 15 languages.? Email supportDialog handles emails just as well as news articles. You can use the filtering support to automatically move emails from mailing lists to their own folder. The threaded sorting order for emails also makes it much easier to follow the discussion.? Scripting supportChange the way Dialog works or extend it yourself using powerful object oriented Pascal scripts.? Advanced scoring and filtering capabilitiesAutomatically fetch replies to your own postings or copy them to their own folder, hide or delete articles from known spammers, give a positive score on or color postings from your friends so you don't miss them, join articles from the same group but different servers into one group to fill missing multiparts. These are just a few things that you can do with scoring and filtering.Note that you can score on all header fields in Dialog, since articles are not only scored when getting headers, but again when you get complete articles.? Support for binary postingsDialog decodes and encodes attachments using Mime (Base64) encoding, UUEncoding and yEnc encoding. Dialog has internal viewers for video multimedia (using the codecs installed on your computer) and HTML.The internal image viewer can show the following file types: *.png, *.jpg, *.tif, *.bmp, *.rle, *.dib,*.psd, *.pdd, *.psp, *.fax, *.bw, *.rgb, *.rgba, *.sgi, *.cel, *.pic, *.tga, *.vst, *.icb, *.vda; *.win, *.pcx, *.pcc, *.ppm, *.pgm, *.pbm, *.cut, *.pal, *.pal, *.rla, *.rpfFor multipart postings Dialog shows little icons that let you know if all needed parts are available on the server.? Custom sorting, filters and viewYou can customize which articles you want to see in the article list and how they are presented. "Views" only show articles with defined flags set, e.g. only unread articles, only articles with bodies or only articles with the keep flag set. Additionally you can filter e.g. on the subject or from of articles.? Articles can be shown in the default threaded order or unthreaded and sorted by Date, Subject, From, MsgId, line count and score.?
