Office-Logic Groupware - Product Release Changes

* Specific change for Office-Logic Groupware Client Server Edition

Version 8.09:

E-mail search results was showing blank line for one of the results.
* ClientMode in OL.INI was not permanently setting client/server mode.
Before dialing with Tapi, fix-up phone number for dialing rules.
If "From:" header is blank, gets sender from "Received:" header.
Search/replace in userlist also does POP account.
Supports attachment name continuations as per RFC2231.
Does not skip HTML text before <BODY> or <HTML> tag.
Allows 10 characters to be typed into database date field.

To-do does not reset display date when floating checked/unchecked or when date "picker" was used.
Office-Logic Groupware Usernames not restricted to SMF naming convention i.e., names can contain up to 15 alpha/numeric/symbol characters except for "*" (asterisk), "?" (question mark), """ (double quote), "/" (forward slash), "\" (back slash), "|" (pipe character), "<" (less than), ">" (greater than), "," (comma), and : (colon). However, we still recommend discretion when creating usernames to avoid confusion. (This is a version 9 feature that is being included.)
Temporary extracted attachments marked read-only to prevent users from saving files over the temporary copy. (This is a version 9 feature that is being included.)
Removed "(all users)" item from user list so that selecting "All users" in the recipient dialog doesn't also select the (All) item and send the messages twice.

Toolbar drawn as gradient if better than 256 color. (This is a version 9 feature that is being included.)
* User maintenance search/replace record locking corrected for client/server.
Never adds item #0 to listbox because of Microsoft bug that would "hide" first item in some lists.
Option to not send mail to attendees saved with the appointment.
