Absolutely agreed. >Please tell us your opinion about that and also some features which a mail >client must have and SimpleMail doesn't offer yet. I'd start by finishing what you have started already, e.g. by making the forward phrases to work, and things like that. :-) Boring I know, but this shouldn't take too much time, right? :-) Also, a more complete ARexx port would make people look at SM with even more interest, for example letting them to import email from other mailers. ;) Then while we're still at alpha status, you might look into implementing a more robust mail archiving format. YAM is still a pain at this - if you get a lot of duplicates you may accidentally delete the WRONG ones, not to mention the fact that YAM takes a helluva lot of RAM (crashing when it runs out of it) when filtering to lots of folders with hundreds of emails there. So far I didn't test SimpleMail under the same circumstances, but I suspect it is cloning this basic /flaw/. In the long run (albeit I know you'll be tempted to go for it ASAP...), IMAP support and other niceties not yet seen on the Amiga would turn some heads. That, and some of the features of "The Bat!" would win you a good share of the /market/, and the shareware concept would start to become more than reasonable ;) OK, how's that for being busy until new year? ;)) > Hynek Schlawack : >A standard-address and a standard-indentity are important, maybe also >packing/encoding using xpk. IMHO XPK support would be a waste of time with the huge hard drives people use now. Now, if we talk about _simple_ things, like encrypting the passwords in the config file... :) __________________________________________________________________________ SimpleMail mailing list - //www.freelists.org/list/simplemail-usr Listserver help.: mailto:simplemail-usr-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?Subject=HELP Unsub....: mailto:simplemail-usr-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?Subject=UNSUBSCRIBE
