PowerTalk 1.1 in System 7.5 contains performance and Human Interface improvements and bug fixes. Here are some of the changes from PowerTalk 1.0 to PowerTalk 1.1:
* AppleGuide has been added for AppleMail and PowerTalk.
* The Key Chain, Personal Catalog, Find in Catalog and an alias to AppleMail are now in the "Mail and Catalogs" sub-folder in the Apple Menu Items folder.
Mailer
------
* Items can now be dragged from the type-in addressing panel to any place that is valid (for example "To:" field in mailer, personal catalogs, folders).
* The term "Catalogs" in the type-in addressing panel was changed to "Kind".
* A "postmark" symbol is added to the mailer once a letter has been sent.
Mailbox
-------
* The tags dialog was changed to allow multiple tags to be added at once.
* The Mark (Un)Read command was added to the In Tray.
* The "Copy Local" confirmation dialog was removed.
* Out Tray aging of 0 days was made invalid.
* The Problem Alert button was made more visible.
KeyChain
--------
* When the Key Chain is first created, it now appears in the Mail and Catalogs folder in the Apple Menu Items folder rather than on the desktop. The user is free to move the key chain to any location they prefer.
* An option was added in the PowerTalk Setup control panel to have the Key Chain prompt for a password at startup.
* The name of the "PowerTalk Key Chain" was changed to "Key Chain".
* The help dialog was added to the Key Chain window.
Catalog Browser
---------------
* When creating new addresses, phone numbers, or dialup service attributes, these attributes are automatically opened after the attribute is created.
* In the Group Info page, the number of members in the group is now shown.
* When a Catalog Folder is dragged and dropped in the Finder, an alert now appears to inform the user that an alias to the Catalog Folder is being created in the Finder.
Digital Signatures
------------------
* In the standard digital signature verification dialog, the text "Verification successful" was changed to "The signature is valid."
* The text in the digital signature Finder verify dialog was changed to read "The signature for X is valid" instead of "X was successfully verified." and the sentence "The status of the signature is valid." was removed.
AppleMail
---------
* AppleMail changed from 1.0 to 1.1, the International version.
* The default memory partition for AppleMail was reduced.
* AppleMail can now save a received letter as a Letterhead. The letterhead has the same content as the original letter, but the mailer (To, Subject, Enclosures) is empty.
* The Reply option (All Recipients/Sender Only) in AppleMail was made "sticky", that is, the option that the user selects remains in effect for subsequent replies unless the user changes it.
* The text for the "Close" menu item was changed, depending on whether the "Show options when closing a letter" preference was selected and whether the option key is held down. Without the option key, if "Show options" is selected, the menu item reads "Close..." and if "Show options" is not selected the menu item reads "Close". With the option key, if "Show options" is selected, the menu item reads "Close without options" and if "Show options" is not selected, the menu item reads "Close with options".
