Well, thanks to Core (#asp on quakenet), a major problem was brought to my attention. Users who did not have the JMail component installed on their server would not even be able to login using the default PSnews_Config.asp

A newer version of PSnews_Config.asp is available from the Files section of this site.

Well, not long between 0.3b and 0.4b, I must have had more spare time than I thought.

Anyway, PSnews_v0.4b sees the arrival of Email features. At the moment, it's limited to JMail support only (www.dimac.net), I'll add CDONTS and ASPMail later (probally).

Anyway, new things and changes in this version:

PSnews_AddMember.asp added some 'Email the WebMaster' features (lines 240-265) ... read more
