That has been fixed in meantime.

There is an elegant way to achieve this already now: Use an RSS reader (like
SharpReader for Windows or Straw from Linux) and subscribe to a logbook. Then don't
read the entries directly in the logbook, but read them in your RSS reader. Once you
read them, they become automatically marked read.

Has been fixed as well.

> - Use "and" and "or" operands in queries                                        

Elog supports now regular expressions. So for a "<str1> OR <str2>" one can write

<str1>|<str2>

and for a "<str1> AND <str2>" one can write

<str1>.*<str2>|<str2>.*<str1>

Looks a bit complicated, but maybe some day we will get some code which rewrites
"AND" and "OR" as regular expressions.

There ist only a problem if you replace the currently running executable. You
sould first stop elogd, then replace the executable, then restart it. This ist
true both for Windows and Linux.

You first have to stop the running elogd server, then replace the executable,
then restart the server.

I replaced the "back" link with a "list" link, hope that this makes now more sense.

I added a "-H" flag for that. New version of elog.c under CVS and in the next
release.

Well, the manual does not state that "$message id" should work for "Subst
<attribute>" option (;-)

The reason is that the message ID is available only *after* a new entry has been
written to the database, and the "Subst" command is evaluated *before* an entry
is submitted. "$message id" only works for "Thread display", "RSS Title", "Subst
on reply", "Subst on edit" and "Display". You should use

Display KlientIn/KundIn = $Vorname $Name; P: $Telefon Privat; G: $Telefon
Geschaft; N: $Telefon Mobil; $Landeskennung-$PLZ $Ortschaft [<a
href="http://localhost:8080/$logbook/$message id">$logbook:$message id</a>]

Please note that you wrote "mesage id", correct is however "message id" (two
"s"), so there is also a typo.

The link "Back" has been replaced upon request by "List" which is more
appropriate. So if you changed your menu with "Menu commands = ...", please
replace "Back" by "List" there.

Well, if you try with the demo logbook, the "Back" button is translated
correctly, so I don't know whats wong in your case. Can you check that your
eloglang.german file is intact?
