Same thoughts here, the only method I like to add is:
void Remove(const BStringList& list, bool ignoreCase = false);
(plus the flatten methods)
are there already some helpers to flatten a BString? strings are scaring
me ;) or any tricks to flatten the BStringList? as Ingo already said,
the way the public list is storing strings is quite different (but more
elegant and efficient) from the mail version.
